Nathan_Hanefort Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Was away for 5 months - how are the skank guardians doing in PVP? I saw a PVP tier list, dps guardians on the bottom, sadly.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dralor Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Haven’t done ranked since it never wants to pop but doing very well with this sort of build in unranked. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCKiceman Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 What list are you referring to? Also returning from like 6-7 yrs ago, do Skanks (sins, vanguards, juggs) all use Focus offhand or shield offhand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dralor Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Focus, shield isn’t worth it imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KendraP Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 If you're running tank SPEC you should use a shield; put dps mods and enhancements in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCKiceman Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 thanks. kendraP is there a reason for it? I notice my alacrity gets cut in half on % with shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KendraP Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 (edited) I should think it obvious, but fine. The shield gives you a chance at blocking a % of damage off certain attack types, and additionally all tank specs have procs that rely on shielding an attack. If you want to dps, just help the rest of us and go dps. If you want to tank, run a shield. I say this because even as a skank, what you are concentrating on should be different than a dps. If you're leaving your team alone to one on one things with extra survivability, you are being an atrocious team player. Your focus should be on objectives, guarding, guard swapping, and taunting, then damage as opportunity exists. If you get no protection at the end of the match, you should have been dpsing. TLDR: A skank is not a dps with extra survivability. If you want that go roll a merc. Edited December 12, 2019 by KendraP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dralor Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 The abilities that proc on shielding can also trigger on other types of defense (like parry) unless I’m mistaken? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
