I'm kind of excited for the guardian class changes. I totally think they're moving in the right direction. I love that turn the tables no longer will require you to target a nearby enemy, AND that the red line guard is getting more dps which will make landscape questing so much easier. left a like.
at 15:23 you read "protection by the sword" gets a damage shield, but the tooltip looks as though both the incoming healing AND damage shield affect protection by the shield, and no trait benefit exists for protection by the sword?
Do we know if existing gear will upgrade from might- to will-based, or will we have to totally replace our tanking gear? A trader to turn in old for new would be cool.
There is a chance that guard might become viable, they are getting increased group viability with their cashout debuff and protection by the sword, so we will see when u37 goes live!
I really hope they change how Tireles Blows work on red line. In live, you have to wait for the animations of your skills to end to know if you got a proc or not, and it makes the gameplay of red line very clunky. The proc should happen at the start of the animations to be able to react properly to it. Right now, you have to wait like an extra second after each skill to see if you got a proc or not. The trait doesnt have a cooldown, so waiting after everyskill it is pretty much mandatory, since it is technically possible to have 5 consecutive procs PRskill -> proc -> PRskill -> proc and so on. Bastion of Light is looking good, and im a fan of Disabling strikes, so it is nice to get it on both specs aswell. 🙂👍
Why use Brutal Assault so often? It has too weak direct damage and a very slow animation. All it takes is a refreshing bleed, during which time it will almost certainly trigger Tireless Blows.
I'm kind of having some mixed feelings about the Guardian's changes. Sure, I think it'll be cool to have the Guardian quite a bit stronger. But, about the Will for Tanking and Agility for focusing on Offence, How's that supposed to make sense for a Heavy Armored class that relies on Might, exactly? Why not make it similar to Champion, Brawler, and/or Beorning, relying on Might to gain both offence and defence bonuses at the same time? ?:/
@@ImmortalVampire19 For tank, yes I think this is true. Once you reach caps for mitigations, you might wanna start slotting might, so it depends in a way

thank you ghynghyn for covering the news
Very interesting. Very good content and information. Thanks ghyn❤
I like red guard, hope he will be really playable as main dps
it will be the first it has been playable for a long time. i have waited so many years lol
Doesn't really make sense, as the class is called "guardian" , not "attacker"
you're confusing notions. Gardian dont meant GUARD@@erclsr
@@Midaiel I demand a trait line for a hunter tank. After all, Hunter doesn't mean hunt.
at 15:23 you read "protection by the sword" gets a damage shield, but the tooltip looks as though both the incoming healing AND damage shield affect protection by the shield, and no trait benefit exists for protection by the sword?
Tooltip bug. The second part of the trait should read Protection by the sword.

Existing gear will change to suit your line. The stat changes are on hold currently and will probably not arrive with u37.
Will red guards be able to dps viably, yes yes I know nothing comes close to champ, but maybe he can just be behind champ a little instead of a lot?
There is a chance that guard might become viable, they are getting increased group viability with their cashout debuff and protection by the sword, so we will see when u37 goes live!
Hopefully lol. If they did this and made red lm viable, I’d cry.
Very interesting and informative. Do we know when these changes will go live?
U37 should arrive in 2-3 weeks from now.

How will blue guardian preform compared to blue beo?
Blue Guardian in my opinion will be much stronger.
Hi returning to lotro after a long time. Isnt Breaking Ranks bad for tanking?
Break Ranks is a great dps buff for your group/raid, you lose some defensiveness for just a little bit, but just build your forts back up again.
@@ghynghyn4706 ahh ok but is that ok in high end raids? Or just small ones
@@raja_7868 You always want to use break ranks in any group. It's a net boost to your group
Nice changes!
Any build for beginner?
Check my discord server! Link in description.

The stat changes are currently on hold, it will not come with u37, so we will see what they decide to do in the future.
I'm really hoping Guard AoE aggro is made stronger.
But if will is supposed to be the best stat for tanking, then why is your will the lowest of all your stats? o_0
Becuase this is a video from beta, where my character is not geared for the new stats, but rather copied over from live worlds at that time.
@@ghynghyn4706 so you mean that now your Will is your highest stat on the guardian?
@@ImmortalVampire19 For tank, yes I think this is true. Once you reach caps for mitigations, you might wanna start slotting might, so it depends in a way
You're not going to stack Will in any meaningful way.
Ghyn Ghyn..........................ssg should NOT be taking away from the game, they should be adding to it.
ssg need give all dps, no need tank and healer, just give all dps !!!!
