Thread: What's a good leveling spec?

  1. #1

    Default What's a good leveling spec?

    So it's been years since I played a Guard, but it looks like not much has changed.
    I assume Polearm is the way to go?
    Currently looking at something like this: http://goo.gl/527AMt

    Would this be good? Or should I invest more heavily into Tempest spec? Any tips appreciated.

    Hi,

    guards still do very little damage compared to the other tanks, have a hard time in the endgame keeping aggro when paired with dts and are all in all not exactly a great joy to play.

    Regarding leveling. Yes, polearm does a bit more damage than 1h&shield. That build in the link is quite ok for leveling.

    That may be your opinion. But they still are strongest tank especially for time trial 6 mans. I still find guard the best out of the 3 soldiers.

    Polearm is good for leveling though and just about any dungeon leveling up can be tanked with it.

    Polearm for leveling - build is ok, so you can stay longer in frency. All next points in tempest tree - you want to get to strom strike.
    But in dungeons you should go with a 1h+shield. Just to get used to this (and your role as main tank) as this will be your engame group (Raid & dungeons) specc.

    At least this is my opinion.
