Guardian

[Bluish]

Thank you for explaining so well,

Eh I'm one of those who like to learn as they go and even though I tried most of the jobs on dummies, the implications of this skill went complately over my head and I'm also reconsidering my ability to figure out wth is going on altogether. On the bright side my somewhat traumatic experience with learning about this payed off, else I would continue being one of those blissfully oblivious people XD Not that I expect a pld dropping guard on me anytime soon since I'm playing bard...and I don't have a knock back for them either...hmm

Also I'm not sure that even being strategic as a whole team and bringing pld down or alternatively their team members would tip the scales that much...you will take that hard won kill just to deal with it again in some 10-20 seconds when they come back at you fresh as daisies and with lb at the ready. I would like to know if people overall have much luck going against teams focused on using guardian/elixir strategy.

if BRD is what your playing then i dont really have any advice, if you managed to kill PLD or another team member not under guardian, how does that not tip the scales?

this applies to every class/player you kill

It's very situational and I'm talking about teams made out of people who win trade, cheat, communicate or all 3... I would not have an issue with seeing it occasionally but when it happens a lot, one kill would never help much, it would have to be 2-3 to tip that scale. One kill to lower their number and another to make up for one of the enemies whole hp restoration, but that still barely tips it in my view.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. The disadvantage to pld while using guardian, which is available every 25s, can be mitigated by guard which is available every 30s, allowing pld to cover half of the time they are taking damage and preventing interruptions?

Well if that doesn't sound hopeless it's enough to consider them having a healer in their group and the blessing of other members buffs and skills...
