You can still get enough of the defensive skills as a Crusader while getting all the offensive ones. They need to buff Guardians in my opinion.
Yeah, Guardians suffer from long-term poor skill tree design. They don't really have any defensive skills that seperate them from their higher-DPS Crusader counterparts, especially when said Crusaders can easily just grab the skills on the defensive side of the Paladin tree and tank just as well as a Guardian can. The dual ultimate system allowing Crusaders to grab Heart of Glory was a massive blow to any incentives anyone had for choosing Guardian over Crusader.
Guardian Force needs a complete reworking, badly. I don't think it'd be too much to ask for it to grant temporary invincibility to all nearby party members for like 5 seconds. Right now, it's just a really pitiful shell with durability so low that in most situations where the skill would actually be helpful, it'd be wiped out with a single attack. Invincibility might be broken for PvP, but I guess they could keep the current durability system there.
Guardians also need more exclusive defensive skills that actually make a difference, skills that a Crusader absolutely cannot replicate by just going into the defensive side of the Paladin tree. It could be a while before they actually get said skills, as it seems we've nothing but EX skills for the near future.
