Holy cow. I counted 4 - 5 folks beating on him . . . and he survived ?

I'm a bit confused how that's is or should be possible.

Wow, there were 4 of the other team on the node when he ran in. I would have thought that would be instant death. I have more respect for the Guardian profession now.

would have been an elite skill he used. Warriors have one that gives alot of health and makes them very hard to take down. Guardians must have somthing similar.

Sure it is possible.  I got my Guardian up to rank 14.8 (almost 15  :( ) and did this many times.

It is actually possible for any profession if you trait heavily in defensive and use defensive abilities.  Guardians may be able to defend Conquest Nodes the best but it isn't significantly different than what any other profession could do - with the possible exception of Thieves.

If you want to try Conquest Node Defense and was wondering if you profession (other than a Guardian) can do it ----- this is my take on which profession would be better for Node Defense:

Guardian > Necromancer > Engineer > Elementalist > Warrior > Mesmer > Ranger > Thief

.... although the Thief would be the least suited for Node Defense - they would be at the top in terms of letting the other team take the node (and the thief hides in stealth) ----- then come right back to take it (with stealth and shadow step abilities).

That's Tome of Courage.  It doubles your health, locks you in place, and changes your bar to a bunch of healing and support skills.  The 5th one being a 5-person 100% heal.

I didn't like using Mace much, but for something like this I could definitely see its value.

My favorite weapon choices for a guardian are sword/focus and scepter/shield (I may try 2h's more again after they implement having 2 sigils on them).  I will often switch the sword for a mace for Node defense --- but not only that - it also works well with on of my favorite runes (Rune of the Forge) --- for the Guardian.
