I was going to come and ask a similar (but related) question, but since this thread exists I'll just post here.
I have level 12 Guardian, which means that I should theoretically have a 42% guard rate. However, the rate at which I block attacks is nowhere near that when Divine Shield is down. When we were WKs, didn't Shield Mastery's guard effect actually display the "GUARD" or "BLOCK" text when it activated? Every time I block an attack out of DS, the Guardian animation plays and it doesn't display "GUARD."
I just tested at ToT, standing on top of one of the Eye of Time monsters. Out of 50 hits, 7 of them were blocked. I would have expected closer to 20 blocks. But no, that's a 14% rate. There is surely some statistical error at such a low trial count, but even then, it's not anywhere close to the 20% rate from either skill. If it's not close to 20%, I'm supposed to believe that I actually have a cumulative 42% guard rate? I think not. I'm inclined to believe that Guardian is glitched and it overrides the Shield Mastery guard rate. If this is really the intended behavior, then pineapple you Nexon.
I'll have to do some more tests and post the results...unless, of course, there are any other volunteers.
EDIT: Does anyone know where I could find videos of White Knight training from kMSt 1.2.408? Youtube isn't helping me at all.
