I just wondered are there any guardian fighters out there that pvp Defensively im Boasting almost 52.6%dmg reduc and 25% deflect and 782 regeneration with a decent amount of power 4168 it's not the best but not the worst at the same time...(that's without a shirt and pants, since im wearing lvl 18 blue and white shirt and pants)
Holding a point isn't a problem with me i can tank 2 dps v1 , (and 3v1) for as long as a 2 mins by my self, (even killing both players at times). Seems like everyone is going for the most obvious dps route in PVP when it comes to GF. The purpose of this thread really is to see if there are others who play defensively, or why you personally don't like it. I know people find defense as a useless stat but my play style is to distract and stay on a point as long as possible, and enjoy not dying.
Sidenote: There's alot of drama surrounding the guardian fighter, people complaining about us being OP which is just unbelievable if you actually rolled a GF. The skill Knight's challenge deals double dmg to the target but the target does double dmg to the user so if you see a GF use it on you back up and catch him by surprise. I just think people should know their class and play effectively, ofcourse there's GF's out there doing insane dmg but this game is like 30% feats and skills 70% gear....There's so many fators when it comes to gear before people complain about a class saying it should get nerfed

THANK YOU!
Yes, you are DEAD ON with this post. People got to used to one shot kills, and under 3 second toasting with ice from before. PVP should be about longer battles, AND fighting on the pad. Cryptic Must continue to push goals toward this.
As far as your class OP (im gwf and tr) I will say that I dont like fighting GF's cuz they take to long, BUT I can kill them pretty easy on 2 conditions -
the GF really isnt skilled, and I dance around him getting in back hits often
the one OP GF (IMHO) that cant punt constantly.
I am not sure of the spec on that punter, but I have a feeling it falls in the class as the same OP TR that can hide all the time and the same OP CW that can teleport all the time.
BTW for other TR ... and CW... LEARN TO FIGHT ON THE PAD!!!! Sorry I know you dont want to be in close quarters, but that is so crucial in this game right now with the factor that its all CW and Rogues in PVP. Matches I am in with peeps that do this I win hands down. Matches I am in with ones that dont. I lose. Yes, hands down it is always a minimum of 3 CW TR's with me, and most the time 4. Its a treat to see a team with 2 DC or GF!!!
I am dps route but have 47.7% I got 1 shot once the other day by a 36k crit. So that's why I didn't think going to 52% be a benefit. With the Deflect that high though do you notice it at all ? Is there a way to tell if you are deflecting attacks. Right now I am at 15% deflect and almost want to drop it for more Dps cause I dont' even know if it works at all.
will do when i get home
sorry wasn't 100% clear i went with conqueror spec and 2 from the middle one. I've never been one shotted and i pvp alot mainly cause i run ferocious reaction i think so i reheal and get the dmg resistance buff. unless I'm getting ganked, i never die 1v1. I have noticed the deflect but it's hard to unless you keep an eye out for it.
Yeh i would say that's GF selling point near impossible to kill them 1v1. But i still think it's down to skill like you say you can handle a few inexperienced GF's
