I just read this guide about guardiands by bcmcknight77 and he was presenting 3 different ways to play : Healer,Hybrid and the so called juggernaut ..combat orientated.

Heres the link to the guide so you know what i mean >_> : http://forums.d2jsp.org/index.php?showtopic=20473486&f=272

It says that the "juggernaut" is able to solo well and maybe even do wells.

That sounds just like what i wanna do (not necessarily wells,but would be rly cool biggrin.gif)..i want to be able to solo arena easily and get long mobcounters which seems easy with heal and high int by guardian.

So..is it really easily possible to solo arena and maybe even wells at lvl 65?

And will i be able to do it with my fg (1k atm)?

Please give me a detailed explanation on which items to get to be able to solo arena fairly well all the way up to lvl71.

dMonik, i was just gonna make a thread and ask the same thing tongue.gif
I just Mqed my full INT guardian and now im gonna make a hybrid
Best way to answer the question is to try it out yourself wink.gif
Also, it is fully viable to do wells on guardians dont let any1 tell you its not! I welled on the full int guardian (ill be honest... it took a loooong time, but his gear was crap, only cost like 100fg?)
So... if i could well on and int guardian, i could probably do so on a hybrid.

of course this was inspired from the hybird guide here http://forums.d2jsp.org/index.php?showtopic=20473486&f=272
Hopefully my Setup @ lvl 65
Stats (w/o gear)
Strength: Rest of stats after Dex and Int are done
Dexterity: 40 (will have around 70 w/ gear)
Intellect: 100
Vitality: 55 (base)

Charm: Str, Dex, or HM charm (ill probably pay like 50ish fg for it)
Acc Charm: lvl 45 110ee wild heal (best i could get dry.gif )
Armor: Plate w/ 100ish ee (not gg, but itll get the job done)
Weapon: godwood club 100ee 30dex

I'm hoping to find this character can tank very well (barely get damaged, int for magic attacks, dex for crits, and ee plate for physical), while still being able to kill effectively.
Am still climbing w/ this char to check out if its viable
ill try to keep you informed about how viable he is, how long it takes to well, how many wells fail etc...
total fg spent on this guy = 200ish fg.
You got 1k so you should be able to get better gear than me
gl w/ your guardian

thanks for reading
