Guardian Skill List

By: Martuk / Tony "RadarX" Jones

The Guardian is the figurehead of any fellowship.
They guard the way between their weaker allies and the enemies that
challenge them. A Guardians duty is to protect his allies from harm.
The Guardian is already a defensive marvel, but with the Book 12 update
he will receive some new skills and offensive abilities.

 

(Note: As with all classes, the damage
and stats from each skill vary with levels. These stats have been taken
from a variety of guardian levels, but all are accurate and will
provide a good idea of the skills across various levels.)
