Iggster Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I'm currently level seventeen with average gear for my level and I seem to be having problems fighting anything that is with another mob, especially if one of the mobs is 'strong'. Every fight I am coming out of leaves me with less than 10% health and thats even with my companion. Surely there is something I am doing wrong. If anyone could shed some light on my situation I would greatly appreciate it as I am reaching the point where i'll just roll a new class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizzyMongoose Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) You'll need to post more specifics, like your current skill tree build. Edited March 21, 2012 by dizzyMongoose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iggster Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 Sure thing. Momentum 3/3 Dust Storm 2/2 Victory Rush 3/3 Strength: 237 Endurance: 212 Health: 2585 Armour Rating: 1345 Reduction: 30% I'm currently in Taris, could it be the enemies in this area are just tougher than others?

You only need 5 points invested to unlock the next tier in a skill tree, so I'd pick which one you like better between Momentum and Dust Storm (keep Victory Rush, it's important) and move up to take points in Guard Stance and Lunge after spending those 5 points on the first tier. Also, if you aren't permanently running in Soresu Form by now, you're now going to want to keep that up fulltime and make sure to equip a shield in your offhand so you get all your Defense tree and form benefits. Other than that, yeah, Taris is a jump up in difficulty, and Guardian's not the easiest to level to begin with. You should notice some definite improvement once you get up to 23 and have Guard Stance, Lunge, Blade Barricade, and Warding Call, which are the core low-level Defense defensive skills. You may want to take a detour and put points into Swelling Winds as well if you value more AoE damage with your Force Sweep. Finally, keep your combat companion (probably Kira if you're going into Defense) geared up, makes a big difference.

britane Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 gear up your protocol ship droid and take that as companion, it does good healing, and you'll get some experience really tanking to keep it safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystry Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 No, it isn't you. Guardians in general are very weak, and are the hardest to level out of all the classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sallag Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I do not know about harder to level...I think they are more a challenge to get into mid to late 20's...But I think the challenge is a good thing:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
