re: Guardian Soloing

0

As many of you know I like to challenge myself to constantly get better.  I do so manly through T2C content, but during lulls I try to solo content that is meant for groups.  In doing so, it forces me to continue to improve and hone my skills.

These posts are here to assist other Guards with skill rotations, positioning, and mechanics of the class.

I encourage all guards to try it !!!  Post your videos here.

Ooh yeah, I'll have to keep an eye on these, I love guardian soloing.  The different skill layout is confusing to look at, but I'm sure I'll get used to it.

How do you get so many toolbars?  That would definitely be useful.

I also made a turtle video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIsUlOSlovQ

The end result is mine's a little faster than yours.  Your base damage is higher but my retaliation skill damage beats yoursr, and that's my focus along with sweeping cut and guardian's ward.  Because I have more use of retaliation skills and have more morale in this build (most guardian heals give back percentages), I don't have to switch out of 2h.  I also abuse the skill cancelling I posted about earlier.

My Turtle run was in pure red line because someone told me it could not be done :)

Normally for soloing I have a red/yellow build.

For the toolbars I use Bevy 0 Bars:

100% red?  Why would anyone even think of that lol

Yeah there's no reason why it couldn't be done either.  You lose a few effects but none if it's going to kill you on turtle.

Ran Sammy and School.  Sammy is trivial as always.  The main difference between my run and yours is that I use the three Guard gimmick essences ( https://lotro-wiki.com/index.php/Quartermaster_%28Men_of_Dor-en-Ernil%29 ) so it's a little easier and faster to get back and forth through the healing ghosts.

I've done Library a ton of times, but school CM was very tricky until I figured out the ranged pulls, lol.  It seems near impossible to clear the room by itself in time but you can pull the sides separate (and used Let Fly which I haven't had on my bars in ages).  Maybe I'll make a video of my run of that, idk.  Your other runs seem more unique too, I'll have to try those later.

Have you tried roving threats and warbands as well?

Also, the more thorog runs I do, the more I'm seeing that guard actually can have respectable single target dps.  They get a lot of melee damage buffs in raids and as long as you keep spamming fast attacks, you get tons of prey on the weak procs.  My guard is really not built for full damage yet he was still hitting 6.5k dps, which really surprises me.  I do think ability cancelling really helps a lot.

Really the best skills for this (traited) are retal, thrust, to the king (cancelled), boosted by all the retal damage legacies.

Sweeping cut of course.  I've been using sting and stagger but should try to get out of that habit and use vexing when it's available instead since it's stronger with aoe legacies.  Stagger and war-chant should be used once each for debuffs.  Both of those can also be boosted in a situational build, moreso stagger if you're a dedicated dps guard.
