If you're hellbent on the tanky thing, consider dropping 1 point out of Wrathful Warrior or Fight On to pick up Iron Guard. Alternatively, drop Overwhelming Impact and fill out Fight On and Wrathful Warrior? As far as powers go... This is entirely my personal opinion, but I'd never, ever, for any reason, bother with…

Generally, tanky GFs and PvP don't mix too well. I'm no expert on Neverwinter's PvP, but as far as I understand, burst damage is the name of the game. If you don't kill them, they will kill you. Using deflect rather than relying purely on defense isn't a bad idea, because it's not as sensitive to Armor Pen. With this in…

I have zero issues contributing to PvE groups -- be it with pugs or guildmates -- as a Guardian Fighter. With pugs especially, more often than not I end up being the top Paingiver, Immovable Object, Executioner, and 2nd place in Field Medic. I rarely, if ever, lose aggro on things -- my partymates are typically only…

Add to that 9% from 6 more points in DEX and CHA (at lvl 60),…

It's not what it says on the tin, but Cryptic has been known to fudge up tooltips before. *coughdeflectseveritycough* I've heard there used to be a test server where you can respec for free and see if you like a different build better before committing a token on the real server..? Does this land of myth still exist?

I see. How unfortunate. =) Thanks for the fast reply though!

This may not be relevant for the fighter classes, but it very well may be for the others. I don't know how much armor penetration mobs and bosses have (someone should investigate this!), so I can't speak on the PvE side of things, but in PvP many DPSers are stacking pretty crazy armor penetration. Deflection, on the other…
