guardian is good but now there are so many skills u can't block (same applys for stances like FD) that now im using return with/or dark escape in RA.
In TA is best u have an aditional healer (an rit on restauration with weapon spells) or blindbot/ineptitude mesmer.
Well, I finally got rank 1 glad, thanks all for the help! Although I can probably only attribute around 30 of those points to monking, i've still found everyones' tips very helpful.
