Guarding Skill
-54 evasion + sub whm + hours seeking = guard skill ups!
Guard 70 -> 75.
Spend about 2 hours seeking last night.. then I realize it was dynamis Wednesday for the NA's. :/
Fought Giants and Orcs mainly targeting monk and war types. Yeah I know those mobs at Meadows are still a bit high for my current skill.. but no choice. If I go even lower, I kill them too quick, and they never get a hit in; no thanks to my capped evasion merits. :x
One tip: I used my good old cure timing skill I picked up from playing PLD, this actually makes the fights against the monk types last much longer, since I'm curing myself instead hitting the mob. Also, I felt like I was guarding more during spell casting time vs just standing there fighting. Of course, it could just be pure chance that it happened like that...
Tempted to trade in my one snipers for another woodsman ring. I much perfer the -5 evasion over the -10 defense.. and it would bump me up to -59 evasion. Currently I use Sattva Ring in place of Sniper Ring during skill up.
Slowly.. but Surely...
