Perfect Dodge & Parry:
Timing your dodge (Left Shift) or parry (Guardian-specific skill) just before an enemy attack lands grants a 'Perfect Dodge' or 'Perfect Parry'. This often provides a brief window of invulnerability, a stamina refund, or even a counter-attack opportunity. Mastering this technique is crucial for high-difficulty encounters. Practice against weaker enemies to get the timing down. Some enemies have specific 'parry windows' that are more forgiving than others.
Elemental Synergies:
Exploit elemental weaknesses! Applying a 'Wet' debuff (from water spells or environmental effects) makes enemies more vulnerable to lightning damage. 'Frozen' enemies take increased physical damage. 'Burning' enemies take damage over time and are more susceptible to certain debuffs. Combine your abilities or coordinate with allies to maximize these synergies.
