First things first, this is a cheap replacement guide if you cant get the gear that you want.(Timeless)

So i've been playing this game for a while and i used to run a GF with Stalwart, i had like 33K hp and this got me really tanky and pretty high DPS. Eventually i quit and came back a few weeks ago and i realised that STalwart got nerfed to the ground. It was time to find quick replacement and i didnt have alot of money.

I specced conquerer and i was like, **** dis **** im going to stack me some bigass power. So i did.

The downfall is:
Fewer HP
0 Recovery, you'll have to use way more potions or just spam fighters recovery
No enchantment in Armor.

Plus side:
12K Power permanently when your block is full.
Even 6 K without guard.
The set does have alright defense, thank gaaahd.

This summarizes in; it'll require some skill to stay alive. Time your fighters Recovery and make sure to kite the attacks that dont give alot of AP only block big attacks etc.

Why take these feats you ask? FUN!!
So the only real question is, why did you take Staggering Challenge? Easy. This will enhance my DPS on any boss. +20% isnt a joke. This is a painful matter when we're in Knights CHallenge. Not to mention that together with crushing pin this makes a good +30% damage.

Personally i've never seen anyone do as much damage on a boss as me, this is because i use Knights Challenge and Griffon's Wrath. Not to mention it also buffs KC, this is madness and way overlooked if you want to dps.

Skill order is easy, wait til everything is off cooldown, use knights challenge and lunge. This way you can lunge any boss twice in 1 knights challenge. Yay.

Dont use Griffon's Wrath unless KC is on. This way you'll have way higher dps than the usual Guardian who uses 1 bullrush every KC. We get 2 Griffon's Wraths in everytime.

Rule 1: Try to not lose your guard meter when attacking boss, or anything for that matter.
Rule 2: ****.

Its quite a fun build.. just squishy. Try it! :)

    This will get even better with Griffon's Wrath being positively effected by Recovery.

    I still think you'd do better to cap arpen before dialing power to 11 for PvE. Extra 20-25% damage is better than an extra 5-6k power(200-240 damage).

    I'll test this out soon. Though i think this is also dependant on your party etc, they could debuff the enemy defenses already.

    Elaborate.

    Arpen stacks with debuffs though. Arepn applies before debuffs, which reduce enemy defense into negatives.

    Griffons wrath(and all other charge based encounters) don't recharge faster with more recovery.

    •The Recovery stat can now properly enhance the cooldown of powers with multiple charges.

    PvP-wise, lack of deflect and defense can be a serious problem: Think about how hard TRs hit you, now double that since you don't have much defense or deflect. You will be a lot more squishy. Also you don't have any ArPen, so good luck killing GF and GWFs who usually have around at least 40% resistance.

    Personally i dont experience any trouble with TR's but thats because i know what attacks to block.

    The only problem i have is when i vs 2 wizards, no way i can get close and do anything.

    No problem with GF and GWF's either as far as i know.

    Well for boss encounter - it is an ok build)) Just ok because arpen must be capped, no exception here (it is tested dude).
    But what about for the rest of the dungeon? How for example you gonna survive in Temple of Spider to get your precious chest? :) So better get a decent T1 set for all trash, and switch to this during boss fights.
    Also, i'd change chest for Armor of Insanity. Looks insanely cool and gives nice stats.

    On the image it appears grey, i dunno why. Mine is blue-ish.
