Guardian (Knight)
The Guardian tree embodies the unyielding protector, standing as a bulwark between danger and their allies. Guardians excel at soaking up damage, controlling enemy aggro, and protecting their team through raw durability and crowd-control abilities.
Whether you’re tanking a boss or anchoring a group in PvP, the Guardian is the go-to specialization for those who want to stand firm, hold threat, and protect others. One unique aspect of the Guardian is that his spells scale with defense, encouraging the use of a strong shield and the defensive battle mode.
