But I used Eagle's Flight much more often in the earlier levels. I only started using the shield when I started coming up against a lot of rr70+ dps. This was in the pre-80+ days.
also i'm waiting for an answer about which sense it makes to go 2h, with absorb and WS renown abilities on a SM if that build is the question for the above mentioned question.
all you do atm is trying to defend yourself by throwing in classed based abilities which were never a contentious part of my question.
how did you do this? leaving the guard range cause you couldn't tank the guard damage? so basically you admit here that you had to CARE about guard damage? so if you had to CARE about it, why would you nerf it?Annaise16 wrote:I mostly avoided being killed by guard damage by not being truly careless.
you should really stop it right here unless you have anything based on evidence.
Lol. I think this is a l2read issue. I didn't write that I had a flat 30% from Shield rating, etc. I wrote that the Block and parry values against Guard were the values on the paper doll. They are not the flat values from shield rating and weapon skill. They include percentage buffs from gear (and renown abilities, as well, although I didn't spec for these.) With regard to my SM, it had better than 30% Block. I don't remember the parry value, but it would have been near 10%. Other tank classes that do spec weapon skill probably had better values than 10%, while still being able to have 30+% Block.
You have been wrong about everything you have posted in the arguments you have had with me on these forums. Perhaps, you should stop posting.
