All told, HP pots are barely ever a concern when doing a boss run.
These are the best things anyone has said since the the generally terrible for evaluation of a skills normal functioning that is PB was brought up.
Also getting a +2 skill hat if skills can go +4 would probably be even better. 8 attacks will probably get you about as far as you can go with that skill with an all told 44% guardian block rate and with that in mind i was wrong about not hugging PB. Hug away. It yeilds the best possible dps, highest blessing armor activiation rate, and basically is better than every reasonable alternative. Furthermore, in the reality of this situation the difference of no pg becomes using more potions. which yet again i don't advocate you don't use. I just made a (thought up in about 15 seconds im positive will never happen im-just-sharing-my-thought) suggestion as a possible alternative to powerguard. A skill i thought people seem to think is better than it is. (to me it really seems like i was right on that one).
How in the hell did we get here?
