Well i guess my option 4 skill ups on guarding are slim. I been a monk / pup 4 a long time and nothing is as maddening as trying to get guarding up. I suppose i could just go on with my 200 guarding skill, but this is a matter i wish to get a Dev Tracker involved. I guard often but skill ups are extremely few and far between. Averaging out at about a .1 per every 500 to 2000 guards. Any monk / pup can tell when he guards so why make it so hard to skill up. I am at the point i can skill up guard on monk because my survival rate on monk alone is low. Without assistance so is ask 4 a pair of H2H weapon with a latent effect of increase the rate you guard not asking 4 much just like 20% 30%. Since everyone else is made about the burattinaios no one would question the nerf if it help with survivability. If anyone agrees please try to get a Dev on this thank you 4 reading.
