Hello,
I've been playing guardian for a few weeks now and have redone my feat tree many times. What i'm going for is not an all out dps or tank. but a flexible char, that can hold aggro, take damage, and do heavy burst damage when needed, or to help get rid of that last 5% hp on the dungeon's boss. Now, here's the thing. After all I did to build my tree i notice nearly nothing on the damage numbers side of things. I'll post my tree now and continue to explain the reasoning, and the over all performance it brought.

yes i'm aware that i have three extra points..i haven't decided where to put them yet.
now keep in mind that i'm going for a polearm guard that can tank, and then burst into rage for damage.
I like flashing arc because VIII is only two button combo, recharge rate is instant, and has enough buffs for me to be satisfied. I've stacked a tree for disable and that has a longer recharge rate, plus with all the crit chance enhancers i found that they were just as rare as a blue drop from an pve boss on normal mode.
(this is a pve build.)
So you can see i went for the percentage increase in damage. With all these perks one would think there would be a difference...there is not. I don't want to be told how i should play the game. i want explinations on the fact that when i use dissarming aggression there is no damage increase in the slightest!!! Reckoning is useless, and volcanic rage glitches as well!
After petitioning funcom said my custom ui is interfering with recording the numbers...b.s. or fact, i don't know. but what i do know is that the numbers state (on damage) that i'm hitting the same everytime i use a buff like D.A. or V.R.
The reason why i'm posting this isn't to show of builds or start another complain forum. But to actively seek on why this is going on. I want to be able to play the game how i want (as should everyone) and not be boxed in on what i can and cannot do (within the perameters of classes, that's understandable.).
I've requested from funcom a way that i can test these feats accurately so i can make up my own mind. but that's not happening. so i'm forced to come here and rely on the gaming community (which i found if anything that is remotely intelligent is said is responded with trolling).
So yeah, here I am hoping that people who actually enjoy playing the game and know a thing or two will see this and reply with useful information.
Again, i'm going for something that isn't all dps or pvp. I'm going for a build that exploits the guardians potential for both tanking and explosive dps.
Thanks for your time, and overlooking my many spelling errors.
Jarvind.
