How are all my fellow guardian fighters fairing this MOD? Perhaps if anyone is struggling with their class or set up we can band together to help ease the pain. What path are you rocking? Rotation of encounters and at-wills? Have you been stacking gear properly? Let us get a dialogue going to help one another out either in PvP or PVE. Lets face it the challenge in this MOD is real and if your under prepared its not in your favor to keep quiet. We survive by our shield but need our fellow brothers at our back! Lets form a Phalanx!

Keep checking this part of the forum but no one ever posts here hardly.
Myself, I'm still grinding away at the campaigns and upgrading where I can.
Recently started tanking kessels with varying success, it's certainly hard work at the moment.
Once I'm near my console I will share my GF build as I would absolutely love some feedback how to make it better.

So far I am liking the new content and I can solo everything but the HE. I have a mixed and matched set of armour with 60% RI. All epic artifacts and main/offhand. All rank 7 enchants, mostly dark for ArP. Seems to be working ok for me until I can get all of the campaign boons and into the T1 dungeons. I tried Kessels once and was destroyed.
I am currently working on trying to make some AD to advance in the campaigns and working to get a few of my enchants to level 8. The grind is real but I haven't gotten bored yet.
In PVE or groups I run ITF, ET and LS with WMS as my main at will. VM and FR as dailies. I mark everything I can.
PVP I run the new grim set with BC, LS and Anvil with crescendo/FR. I usually get destroyed in PVP unless I am 1vs1 with a simlarly geared opponent and then I do well. I always PUG and it sucks. I try to run with my guildies but I rather play alone. Trying to get better with that as it will obviously make the game much easier to grind.
I hate that they nerfed the AD in leadership as I was almost at 20. Now i am working on my jewelcrafting to try to get the double slotted rings. That should help considerably.

I agree with the DPS output, I only really notice it doing daily tasks and PVP. Dungeons I basically pop ITF with KV, ET and stab away. Noticing some crazy numbers running with our Pally though. I have been having successful runs in eCC and eToTs without KV and 4 DPS or 3 DPS Pally.

Full sets of lions mane and dragon flight. I'm currently getting some black ice upgrades into all. Armor reinforcements are ArP on pvp gear naturally. And one on my pve gear to get me to 61.5% resistance ignored. That way I can do the hardest content in pve and use the guild power boon no worries.
At only 19 CON with the camp fire, I've found myself throwing in 2 draconics for the extra HP. Azures after that obviously. The reason is that I never take off my favorite passive....guarded assault. It's based on your HP-20% of, and power. I was using the GWF sigil, but dropped it for the Wheel. Lost set, lantern and fire to round out my artifacts.
My entire reasoning to a re-spec at the beginning of MOD 6 was the enemies ARP was so broken we were all being one shot for millions of HP constantly. STEEL DEFENSE: Passive ability at Rank 4 grants immunity for “6” seconds to myself. When this is used in conjunction with stacked recovery, AP gain from blocking/HP status/ and fighters recovery I am able to Heal fully, apply ITF, mark every enemy and go back to blocking and cycle back through this nearly seconds later. We can become immortal buff bot Tanks when it is understood how we react and handle each enemy encounter. This is one fight you want the Captain to start because it is through him you will carry on, succeed and fight another day. Lastly, MARK YOUR TARGET added DR to your target for everyone involved! Easy Mode still exists here, I challenge everyone to invite a GF.

So I've decided to tinker around on a new style of solo play that I think you'll all find fun. First, I'm a conqueror/sword master build like most these past few mods. Around 3.1k with an emphasis on doing everything well, but not any one thing great.
At-wills: WMS/crushing surge
Dailies: villain's menace/crescendo
Passives: combat superiority/shield warriors wrath
Encounters: ITF, enforced threat, line breaker assault
Twisted set
I used to run guarded assault, my favorite passive btw. I've literally killed squishy players in pvp just holding up my shield reflecting damage after hitting a bull charge, but they dodge the anvil. The twisted set doesn't allow stacks to build one way or the other with your shield up. Thus, shield warror's wrath. I usually pop a potion for defense or recovery with this set up.
So, gather up a bunch of enemies at least 10. Get hit on your mount or not, doesn't matter except that you're building defense. Throw up your shield and get hit five more times. Conquerer capstone and shield warrior's wrath should be stacked up along with defense thru twisted set. ITF, enforced threat and then immediately a line breaker assault while everything is still marked. Turn around and WMS once maybe twice and everything is dead. Throw in a villian's menace or artifact power for even more damage. If you didn't have a daily at the start, you do now. All of that damage against all of those targets plus the fray buff.....it's just inevitable.
Well that's what I've been having fun with during my solo play guys. Happy shielding,
