@ Flionheart somone with jobs as low as yours and gear like your's would say that
guard gives alot less dmg takein and allows the mnk evade many things more than somone w/o cap skill.read up on what your talking about b4 you speak up.
inb4 somone brings up my bad spelling etc.
He's read many a thread here to know that. Gear/job is irrelevant. You immediately lose your argument when you pull that card.
Capping the skill doesn't give you a massive guard rate, it's
almost floored on high level stuff, you'd only see occasional procs on even match enemies or lower, +skill similar to +shield for PLDs would be needed, that and the damage reduction from guard is way below that of a shield. Throw in counterstance being up almost 100% of the time, and you'll almost never see it.
Cap the skill if you have nothing else to do, but getting your Empyrean weapon/armor should come first.
