15 meters is too short for Guard

[Rafkin]

I've been putting guard on other melee people because the healer is out of range most of the time. Maybe that's what we're suppose to do but I'd rather have it on the healer.

It's probably 15 meters so you have to be aware where the person you're guarding is as opposed to it being a fire and forget skill. I obviously wouldn't be against an increase in range but i don't think it's such a bad thing the way it is either. Edited December 25, 2011 by Kabaal

if you are doing your job and the healer is doing his job then there is absolutely no reason for the healer to have guard.

 

Guard is meant to be placed on the highest DPS in the group. At least that is my interpretation.

I am of a different opinion. In most MMOs tanking is big shot and healing is second. The run depends on them doing their jobs and working as a team. Most of the people who play DPS are more interested in the big numbers and dont care what happens. If they pull off a tank, they are supposed to back off the dps and let the tank regain aggro, not keep going balls out then blame everyone else for dying (bad healing or bad tanking)

 

If I guard anyone its going to be the healer to lessen his healing aggro from taking care of me, and the idiot dpsers who cant control their damage output (when they are in my groups) and pull threat without a care

I have found the previous posters were right, you put guard on the dps more often than not. Look at guard as a tool to reduce the threat of whoever is second highest after the tank. Does not matter who that is healer or not.

He may be talking about pvp...?
