If range on guard was 30m it would be worth it. I think its 15m?

Pretty sure i could come up with something hybridish when its live, but a mixture of tank/dps gear with defense tree spec and flirting with the other trees will probably be the guardian's ideal pvp spec opposed to the dps branding. like ~70% tank gear ~30% crit surge dps stuff. http://pts.swtor-spy.com/skill-tree-calculator/guardian/225/?build=021222120012120222122100023000100320002100000000000000000000000000200000000000000000000000000000&ver=20 The guardian strike AOE knockdown...thats interesting if it translates to pvp. focus just seems like they have too little to work with, vigilance will depend on how much the dots are boosted by gear and whether they can be neutralized with basic healers.

My hybrid spec falls with 2.0. unremitting in shien only. Time to climb out the pit without the rope...

vindicator gear... You get the crit and accuracy from the implants and earpiece You gear for strength power and surge. Some paths are traveled alone young jedi. Take 2/26/13 ...look at the numbers and you can see the path to true PVP Guardian Hybrid. Or you can continue to by evaded by those that run 4m from you and inability to leap to those in cover with the one you posted. Btw a zealous strike crit in soresu stance with my stats yields 2.5 to 3.5k consistently and is worth more than a dot.

Elite war hero pummeler 97% accuracy about 576 melee damage with exotech might have about 33% crit 79 surge and strip the shield generator and replace for mods. Might augments 2/26/13

Try 2/26/13 2 points defense momentum 26 vigilance Up to commanding awe without picking dot talents. Overhead always...bladestorm after. 13 focus minimum for zealous leap, pick the talents that boost strike and dispatch and crit chance. zealous leap with proper gear setup will do more damage in a single hit than the dots from vigilance, plus burning excess focus with a quick strike is worth it too. zealous also works on those in cover and pesky sorcerers that run away. This will all change with new patch most likely but its a dominate pvp guardian spec with dps gear and might augments..around 33 crit and 79 surge.

As of now seems I get a 20% damage boost

The original poster's stats have expertise rating. Its a pvp question.

stats http://imgur.com/qNnZjJf spec http://imgur.com/foZsMMm Surge at 449 ---nearly all my attacks go between 3k to 5k on a crit. Accuracy at 106 points...but the percent is solid as special attacks are at 107% and i rarely miss. Your accuracy is too high and your surge too low. You will get more out of it if you lower your damage and accuracy and boost surge.

drop damage and accuracy for more surge. a 50 point drop in damage will be made up for because of your high critical

node watching isn't node watching unless you are 0 in all post warzone stats with the exception of leading your team in objectives points.

wonderful to watch a guardian do their thing in huttball.

Its far more effective than you will give me credit for. If i win the fight I just heal myself out of combat. If i have a healer about...I'm kinda covered If i lose...well i would have anyway. But that sudden and quick heal up...panics the other player. Which is the intention.

+ warzone stim + focused defense + guardian leap. I just healed myself.

they do it twice they also boosted resolve over its limit

Two days in a row this weekend I received. "You are Immortal" 18 medals no deaths in void star. Never had that before so getting it twice was awesome. I doubt that breaks a record but I was pretty happy.

Swtor 2.0 the Search for More Money. - brought to you by Disney and Spaceballs credits for the quote.

Yoda-"An old friend has learned the path to immortality. One who has returned from the netherworld of the force, your old master." Obi-Wan Kenobi-"Qui-gon?" Yoda-"How to commune with him, I will teach you." Acknowledging the existence netherworld of the force, opens the door to anything. Anakin is a vergence of the force after all.

"using a hatchet where you need a scalpel." -President Obama Is the quote I thought of when i saw the trailer and the enthusiasm of the displayed by the "actor" in the video. Can be used as a metaphor to the state of the game. I say actor...cause real game developers or anyone with any SW sense would know how fail the inclusion of axes is. Its not to the NGE level fail...but its really trending toward that.

Pre-cu FRS rank 4 Jedi Guardian on Valcyn - 31 professions grinded before they even put in Aurilia. There is no comparison to the "Game Experience" that those Jedi including myself had. There will never be a "Game Experience" like it again, the gaming culture doesn't have the patience for it. I was spoiled. SWtor is the spoiled grand kid of SWG that wasted his inheritance on pickles and chocolates.

At 1.2 i made the switchover for more bursty offense over the warding call/bladebarrier/ stasis route. I do miss unchanneled stasis but in my experience it just feels better with more offensive options. Im fascinated with how server/personal playstyles more than anything else influence this and other specs after contemplating this thread further and i appreciate the comments and discussions.

Few things more satisfying in this game than standing at the end of the voidstar bridge as forces have activated the node and they are racing across...with only a Jedi Guardian and their ignited saber standing between them and the door...ready for action. Its a great image.
