Why do people think that the G3 Guardian sucks? Sure its not as good as the G2 one but it can still wipe the floor against the toughest enenmies in the game. Posts: 626 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |

It seems like Dikiyoba has heard people say that melee weapons only do about half the damage in G3 that they did in G2. Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |

You can still own anything the game can throw at you. You just have to build you Guardian properly. Posts: 626 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |

Playing a solo guardian in gf2 was easy. It's... just... that... it's... trickier? In gf3. But, I still had no problem with it. I managed to beat the demo playing solo melee guardian, dying only twice. Once while fighting the warped creator. The other time a vlish hit me by suprise. Yes! I'm a mercenary! (So pay 500 bucks and I'll kill this part.) -------------------- "I knocked him out, but I managed to hit the reply button before he fell down."-The person behind him.

OK, just some statistics for ya... Melee weapons are D4 instead of D8, the damage is almost halved, and most battle magic spells are better, probably a change for the worse. Parry also is not as good in Gf3.(It was broken in Gf2) It parries on 2% per instead of 5% per, and guardians generally get a lot of parry, probably a change for the better as a guardian with about 16 parry was almost untouchable... And most of all, a lot of the spells got better, particularly the mental ones, and guardians dont cast a lot of spells... This is my thesis anyway... -------------------- Learn from others mistakes. Its safer and more entertaining than learning on your own. Posts: 100 | Registered: Wednesday, January 5 2005 08:00 |

You don't have to say it twice. :P Yes, it is alot harder in geneforge 3, but not enough to change my tactics. D4 to D8, that is half. -------------------- "I knocked him out, but I managed to hit the reply button before he fell down."-The person behind him.

The Guardian may have lost power without parry and Melee damage but the forging has helped it alot. With a reviving crystal on your sword and high QA a properly built Guardian should do around 100 average and heal itself by about 50. If you have 500 health the you can kill anything in the game. When I fought Akhari on torment I had Resnick, Swanick and the Agent. There was also me and Alwan. I walked in, blessed and hasted with 18 AP. Akhari Blaze was to easy to kill.

I agree with I_am_a_Minotaur. The Guardian is a good character, is no more/less powerful than the Agent. And isn't harder play with him. It just need a properly built. And Akari is easy to defeat alone too. :P -------------------- Download Geneforge 4: Rebellion You have 6 posts.
