Is Guardian better than Amity? - Guild Wars Forums

Hy I wonder is Guardian better than Amity? Because with guardian you only have 75% block but spammable, Amity hex foes and they cant attack, until they take damage, I think Amity better than guardian IMO :P

Amity is pretty terrible in all situations. Amity is an elite, guardian is only a 50% block chance and they took away its original spamability. Amity has a 45 second recharge, only targets adjacent foes, can't be kept up forever and even if it keeps you safe for a few seconds, most of those players/monsters will take damage and you have to wait 45 seconds to use it again.

Edit: after reading the original post it seems he was sarcastic, I have been had

Amity is an Elite. As a monk you have plenty of better elites to use.

I would go with [Peace and Harmony] best thing ever to waste an elite slot

If he was being sarcastic then thee really is no reason to keep the thread open.

Amity is just horrible. The only time it will ever be mediocre at best is if you've got some kind of farm build or your team is going to be coordinated enough for it's used. And with H/H that's just not happening. Either way you're better off with other builds.

And I remember a long time ago being in FoW and the bonder had P&H. I'm thinking "yeah... that's really gonna help with your -4,-5,-6 regen." And then they started casting it on everyone including the damage dealing Warrior. /facepalm
