If I hadn't geared the way I have, I would have died many times over. Part of my incentive for continuing to use the setup that I currently use is the fact I tend to end up being aggied by a bosses that completely ignore Guardian Tanks, cause I can generate more threat in Shien stance than a Guardian tank can in Sorseu. Could I be a decent DPS in HM OPs, answer is yes, haven't ran HM Explosive Conflict yet, but then with the way I've had lag spikes of late, I'm not keen on getting killed by lag spike.

I'm not going to run around claiming that I can tank Explosive Conflict or nightmare Ops, I know that is well out of my league when it comes to tanking. I have adjusted things so I have higher surge rating, which took some adjustments, which has made it so I actually do have to be in sorseu at all times if I'm playing tank (I don't have quite as much leeway as when I had more shield upgrades), but I can actually tank HM Flashpoints as well as some story mode operations with my current gear set. I'm not going to lie and claim it was easy to put together a working set of gear, but it can actually be done if you pay very close attention to the numbers. Last I checked, Explosive Conflict is actually harder than some HM Operations, and yes I've actually dpsed with the same gear in HM Eternal Vault and did just fine, thank you kindly. Then explain how I can tank HM flashpoints, story mode KP, and EV, while being able to then DPS Story Mode Explosive Conflict all using the same gear set and without changing skill trees. STOP SUGGESTING PEOPLE CAN TANK AND DPS AT THE SAME TIME. You are going to ruin people who actually come here looking for good advice. Holy crap stop posting on this board PLEASE. I just parse way higher on TFB HM bosses with rage and I also do about 200 more damage on an ops dummy in rage as well. I out dps the marauder, merc, and sniper in my raid group with either spec.

Focus/rage is just as good or better for pve jugg/guardians now. You'll be able to work out a nice priority system and when you understand both you'll be able to squeeze out all that the class has to offer.Įveryone is still stuck on vig/veng. You can do it yourself, just do a 5min parse no adrenals or clicky relics and see what skills do the most dmg vs gcd and dmg vs focus cost. There are threads that dot the forum (I wish we could get a few stickies on them) that have great rotations and breakdowns of skills. Mattmonkey has some great advice and information so look his posts up if you haven't already. I tend to be quite a bit below people on parses because I am just not that good at the class. But Vigi DPS is viable and you can hold your own with just about any class if you play it correctly. I am by no means a Vigi guard expert you can look at my parses and clearly see that.
