Which is most of what i am saying in regards to powerguard not really being that good and not truely being responsible for the a whopping 50% of someones damage mitigation. It is 50% after reductions. and in all realistic situations, any warriors other reductions are going to greatly overshadow powerguard.
Take a boss monster. Pink Bean. Level 180, 23100 Attack. Cannot be threatened.
Assuming my character, 1832 defense has max shield mastery puts it at 5496 defense.
After defense, maximum damage received by Pink Bean would be 14553. Half of that is 7276.5.
(Assuming Power Guard is 50% damage reduction at bosses too, hasn't been verified.)
Point being, it's a great skill when it comes to things with a high base attack such as bosses.
