OVERVIEW

A new character (Guardian) has been released by Njaguar, and its time to explore the possibilities of this character!

The starting stats for Guardian are:

30 str / 10 dex / 55 vit / 55 int

Equipable items include:

Clubs, Heavy armors, and Heal charms.

Strategy Discussion:

First of all, due to the fact that this character can only use heal charms, a dmg caster is impossible for Guardian.
Secondly, due to the low strength and dexterity, i dont believe that a melee type is a viable option. Fighter or Barbarian has much better stats, and can use the same equipment (with some additions of course).

This leaves a healing character, which i believe is the best use of the stats and equipment that the character can use.
I believe this character was made for Multiplayer, and its ideal role is as a Healer that can also tank dmg.


Ideal Equipment:

Wep: Int clubs
Armors: ee / int would be best, allowing more int for the heal charm and also high defence.
Charms: ee heal charms (ofc)

Stat Allocations:

Before i get into this, i would like to let everyone know that a few numbers on these tables may be a bit off, as i did them in my head, but the numbers are roughly correct for all values and i hope can ignore any minor mistakes.

Now, i will be showing 2 basic stat allocations. these are just places to start, feel free to tweak them and try your own allocations.

#1 is a half vitality, half intelligence build, dividing the first 10 stats, and then going back and forth for each level:

Strategy 1 - half mana, half life



Strategy 2 - half mana, half life (vit first, then mana)

** Note - For a more caster based char, switch vit and mana stat allocations for this build, and switch columns 2 and 3 (health and magic) and 4 and 5 (vit and int)**



I believe these 2 builds are the best options for this char class. You can go more life or mana oriented, but i believe that if you focus too much on either one, other chars such as barb or magician have better stats. It is in the melding of life and high defense w/ healing powers that this character will really shine.

I will state once more that i believe that Melee is NOT an option for this char, and casting for dmg is Impossible (no this isnt an opinion, its fact)

lol mah bad. edited.. ty lolz

again tho..... would appriciate if ppl could ignore any minor mistakes

dont worry.
datis is ocd.
dont mind him,

nice guide though :]]

A great example of why SlasherJacks is such a well respected guild.
Always helping out
Keep it up mate. Great guide.

I agree melee would not be sensible, but could be a fun character if you went all dex stat points and all str armour/charm. Then have a high EE heal charm for regenless levelling.
55 Int will give a lot of mana and great healing ability against those level 1 mobs.
And the high Vit doesn't need any extra points for solo slashing

oh no arguements that Melee is doable for this char. But i do think that other characters are better suited for Melee.

Also

Looking at the stats for the character, and the items that it can equip, i think that a tank character that can heal others and itself in MP is the best use for this character.

Very true. I'm excited to see a high leveled group with a nice Guardian and how many rounds they can go.

I like the Guardian . However , I am going all intelligence . You are after all a healer . Why would you put stats into vita when you can heal mass life for a little mana ?

I thought the Vit stats were to make you able to tank as well as heal. So it's different to a mage. Then again, 55 Vit is a lot.

ahh but if you wanted to go that route y not go magician?

and ofc vita has more benefits that pure life. defense is a fairly large factor in MP as im sure you know

as i said in the guide tho, tweak as you like

i dont like dissagreeing w/ you nate, but i gotta on this one

gotta throw some vit on a tank character
