Well met and welcome to the Guardian Fighter Guides Index. This thread is here to provide a list of known, up-to-date, and popular Class Guides for the Guardian Fighter. This thread in particular will list GF Class Guides. It will not list individual General Gameplay Guides. Each Class Forum will have its own Class Guide Index for their respective Class and the General Guides Forum will have its own General Guide Index as well.
Thread Index Frequently Asked Questions: How to get your Guide Listed?
Class (non-general) Guides:
To get your Class Guide listed in the appropriate Class Index Sticky, please head to the appropriate Class Forum, post your guide there in a thread, and then reply to that Class' Guide Index with a link and short description of your Class Guide.
General (non-class) Guides:
To get your General Game Guide listed, all you need to do is post your guide in a thread on our Guides Forum and then reply to the General Guides Index sticky with a link and short description of your General Guide.
What are the Rules, Stipulations, or Expectations for Guides?
In order to maintain accuracy, relevance, originality, security, forum Rules & Policies and Guidelines appropriateness, and up-to-date listings, we will not allow the submission of other people's Guides or Guides that are not posted on our forum (no external site guides exept for Googledocs and Wordpress). We may however provide links to other sites that meet our Terms of Service in the "Other Links" section, but we will not link directly to off-site guides themselves in the Guides Indexes.
Also, in order to keep your Guide Listed here, we will require each guide to be regularly updated. Generally one update every couple months will suffice, as well as updates following the release of new Modules or other Major and Relevant Gameplay Changes. Guides that are deemed out-of-date will be removed from their respective Guide Index(es) but won't be removed from the forum itself.
If your guide gets removed from a Thread Index for being outdated, in order to get it added back, please update your Guide Thread accordingly and then post again to the appropriate Thread Index as stated above in the "How to get your Guide Listed" FAQ listing.
Update on External Links: Posting links to Guides and Builds on Googledocs and Wordpress is fine, but only these two sites at this time are approved. All such posted material will be reviewed before added to the Guide Threads, must not contain links or advertisements to anything that violates our Terms of Service or Rules & Policies and Guidelines or in-game viewable EULA, and will be routinely checked for continued compliance. We won't be issuing warnings over such infractions for first offenses (probably not at all unless its clear the user intentionally will not cooperate), we'll just simply notify the offender that changes need to be made else the guide and links to it on the forums will be taken down from our forum.
Please know that I look through and update each Guide Sticky on a weekly basis. Usually on my first day off for my work week. My work week consists not of Sunday through Saturday, instead it consists of Thursday through Wednesday and my working days can sometimes vary work week to work week.
PvE build for traditional tanking. Based on the "Redundant Reflection" model: shield-mediated debuffs, buffs and party damage mitigation. Low operator complexity. This is the evolution of the old "Spiked Turtle" build. Now all three tank trees are represented.
EDIT: Zebular has confirmed that Docs/Wordpress are cool, as long as the author updates, so I can edit this original text out so the guide description is more clear.
EDIT: Updated for Mod12.
Module 10.5 12 Swordmaster Tactician Guardian Fighter Guide: Together we Ride!
Description:
A defensive based Guardian Fighter guide which uses a buffing and debuffing build that is mostly designed to make tanking easier.
@zebular, quick question man: you know how the terms of services says "no external sites"? Well, my GF guide has a fourm post in Arc/the official fourms, but the actual guide is listed in a Google Doc.
Is this okay? It seems like a gray area to me and I'd like to get an official confirmation. If it works, then great. If Google Docs is an external website, it's fine that you shoot me down.
Anyways... if the link to my guide is okay with the terms of services...

I personally don't see an issue with google docs being linked to. However, I'll have to run it by PWE. Thanks!
P.S. the main reason for the request on forum posted only guides is to be able to judge whether a guide is regularly updated and relevant to the current build of the game on all three platforms. As well as to reduce the risk that folks would link to sites that are blacklisted or could potentially be harmful. IMO, google docs doesn't really fit either worry.

PvE build for traditional tanking. Based on the "Redundant Reflection" model: shield-mediated debuffs, buffs and party damage mitigation. Low operator complexity.
This is the evolution of the old "Spiked Turtle" build. Now all three tank trees are represented.

@rjc9000 is it possible to get your weapon enchant info posted here?
Eventually (tm), but not at the moment.
It's being sort of recalculated for the debuff changes, which should slightly change the effectiveness of Terror. I know that, in reality, it doesn't change anything for the GF's best enchantments, but if I post something here, I'd want it to be as complete as I can get it.

I'm still going to use the link to the post in the GF class fourms, as the post itself contains the link to the Google Doc.
