Here we will introduce our players the Hybrid Build and the Strength Build in Rohan. If you are interested, please read on.
The only difference between these two kinds of build on the first tree is Invoke. It's a must-max for the Hybrid build, while the Strength build does not really utilize it at all. And as a strength build, you'd better put 5 points into Sharpen Blade. When you turn 50 and get Sword Mastery,rohan gold these are amazing buffs to have on that help greatly with PvP against players close to your level(rohan crone) not to mention PvE as well.
Also, weapon damage is one of the most underrated things. Many players try to be 'cheap' and save points for the more flashy skills like Order Swing and Crazy, but with this bare minimum build, you will have plenty of points to max all of the necessary skills on the Guardian tree as soon as they become available.
Some players may wonder why we not Protection. While, if you really do want this buff, go for it but it does not prove to be very useful until you are wearing Ka'el or Edwin armors. IMO those 5 points are better spent elsewhere altogether as a strength Guardian, as we just get the Defenders/dex Guardians to buff us with it if we need it. It is a nice buff to have to be nice to the people in your party puller, mage, healer, but it's still not very useful until later on in the game(Rohan powerleveling).
