No Guard Thank Guard!

No more guard ^^ are you more tempted to try out gladiator now? Or did you like guard?

[Seirra_Lanzce]

make a huge different there but i dont really mind thou.. ppl can still tank goody good with it.

Will def be leveling gladiator now, that whole guard thing was crap, this is a much better idea imo and follows most other MMO's out there.

[Amsai]

So extremely glad that it will be gone!

[Cycloptichorn]

Never bothered me much. But hey - it's another action slot opened up!

[Akira_Tenshi]

I may start levelling gladiator myself again now.

I got used to it while I was leveling CON and THM (have a shield on most of the time when solo), but... I'm glad I won't have to keep pressing it every 15s or whatever now. =)

i disliked the action bar space REQUIREMENT anyways lol and i do like the automated block it simplifies play imo, but i know some of you liked the lifting of the shield. some will probably claim the "I" word on this change.

Yeah, that was the only thing keeping me from playing GLA

I detested the need to use the ability "Guard". I would have liked to have seen "Guard" turn into a mode of some sort - something like how "Defender" is now:

e.g. "Guard" - allows the chance to block incoming attacks. Attack power is reduced while guarding.

However, I'm happy with the shield/blocking changes announced in the patch notes. Maybe the Palading job will have more buffs/actions that are geared more towards shields.
