Hello fellow guardians,

Sorry if there was a thread about this already. In that case please feel to assasinate this post. But I was just wondering what perks you other guardians use for minigames.

I am pretty much full on the mastery side and I have been running with PVE-perks (chromatic warding, pressing strikes etc) so far even in PVP (sorry for this all PVP:ers on Crom).

But really could appreciate some feedback from you more experienced pvp:ers. For example, StA seems to be a noob guards best friend (like mine) but from what I understand it would make sense to use other gold perks.

My default mini perk bar would look like Pressing Strikes, Decisive Strikes, Avoid Entanglements, Vindication, Counterweight, Master at Arms.

Thanks a lot Raxikk! Then I wont waste any time training those Prowess first thingies. I guess Champion Spirit is pretty pointless for PVP?

And what about feat specs do you have for example build on aoc.yg feat planner or is there some near the one you use?

Yes Champion Spirit is pointless...

My advice, if you are low PvP lvl with not such a good gear yet, is to start pumping Chromatic warding, Decisive strikes, Avoid Entaglements and Vindication to 4.

Counterweight needs only 1 point to be effective, all other points are nice to have, because they boost Reckoning after CW, but it's not needed immidiately, and Master at Arms is just filler 'cause we don't have another good perk so train that last (and it costs ALOT of prowess).

Once you reach good ammount of passive protection AA and some good gear, switch Chromatic with Pressing strikes and pump it to 5.

can u tell me why i drop life like a potato sack and i see other guards run around like supergods?

AA have them all, but use conterweight/master at arms and sometimes STA to make sins angry
Speck is this :

My gear is not so good, but its Khitai epic small pieces, pvp 7 chest, pvp 4 legs, crafted polearm, pvp 8 cloak. Some tier 3 pieces i mixed in also like dps necklace.

I loose life faster then other guards in pvp i feel, so wonder if its my gear, speck, aa's or what?
I also try to switch stances and such.

Are you talking about pve or pvp, because you trained "Stand Off" that generates less threat while in Frenzy stance, which is absolutely useless in pvp.

I would go with something like this:

As far as gear goes, I would go full pvp gear for pvping, as it really is the best way to go. With Khitai gear, you're not getting the protection you need, while stacking lots of other stats that might not be as viable as you'd think in pvp.

They changed "Stand off" to a feat that passively increases Hit Rating and Critical Damage Rating. The part about thread was removed. The tooltip wasn't changed in YG. So this feat is not useless in PvP. Since I don't do PvP I can't say if it's worth feating, though.
