How good are lifesaver, Counterstrike stance and retaliation(? -> upgrade of CS stance) for levelling a Guardian? I basically expect to get hit far more than I'll hit. So, if I add up guard with CS stance and retaliation while mega buffing survivability via recovery and Toughness + pot(maybe even Iron skin{Armour buff})...that should work.
So, how good are they(CS stance, retaliation, lifesaver)? Do CS stance + retaliation add up to dmg of guard(or more)? Do they scale(I saw some other shits that don't scale here, quite clearly an oversight on the part of Funcom)? Likewise, does lifesaver add up to at least hp regen increase of Toughness? Even better would be if it added up to the hp regen of summed Toughness and recovery, but meh .
