Tactical Guard, And Perfect Counter Discution

Ok. everyone MNK lv 10+ should know about guard. you might of gotten a whole .1 by then!

if your lucky.

my point. the new job traits being released with the jun 2010 update is releasing a job trait for MNK and PUP called
Tactical Guard. wich grants TP bonus upon a successful guard. (most likely going to be only 1 TP per guard) its essentially shield mastery for guard. which is very nice.

i admit. id be happyer to see Martial Arts VII or kick-attacks III

hopefully we get some more of those in the fallowing updates
chances are high... i hope. regardless im happy to see new stuff for MNK.
*cough* perfect counter *cough*

might make /SAM possable
it is a counter so chances are its not going to work on weapon skills such as spike fail. it has potential to be a great tool for /NIN also between shadows.

back to Tactical guard. the only problem with this however. is guard. the skill itself is wonderful. heck you can even guard when petrified!

however skilling it up is a challenge unlike any other skill up challenge. quite possibly one of the hardest skills to increase in the game. I'm just wandering as to. if this motivated anyone else to go out and skill up guard?

i know several people in my linkshell who think guard is just not worth the time.

there is also a parry version but parry is far easier to skillup and skill up rates are more generous then guard. with this being sed. i hope SE adjusts the skill-up rate on these defensive job traits to be up there with shield.
