Advice is needed. Meso guard claims to use mesos STORED. @ level 1 it stores 200 mesos. Does this mean it won't protect you anymore after you take 200 damage or more? I remember about a year ago I played a Chief Bandit and it clearly didn't use stored mesos, it protected you for the whole duration of the 30-some-odd seconds that level 1 Meso Guard lasts. Did Nexon change this? Also! I see as it gets to a higher level, the % of saving your butt from damage goes down, should i max it anyways? Please and thank you!

The description is wrong, MG takes 50% of the damage in mesos that you have. And the percentage is how much mesos you loose per damage i.e a 2k hit would make you loose 1000 hp and 900 mesos when its at 90%.

It's dosent store Meso, it goes by a timer. From 30something seconds to I think 90? (Correct me if Im wrong on max) MG will always take of 50% of the Dmg. The other percent that you see in your skill description is the % of meso it takes. Like the guy above said, At Lvl 1 it says 90%. Well from a 2k Hit, 1K goes to you, 1k goes to MG. For MG to protect, it needs 90% of 1k Dmg in meso. At higher Lvls, it will be at 75%, so now MG needs 75% of 1k in meso. Which is 750 Meso. :D!

What they said. MG pretty much saves your ass and saves you money (considering the 1:1 hp/meso ratio with barbs). Max it for sure after you get your BoT maxed (which should be No.1 on your list). A high level MG isn't a necessity, but is nice to have.

It saved my life a couple of times.

Even though MG only requires 20 to max, I don't see why you'd want to max it before you max other skills like assaulter...I mean you get the same defensive powers at every level so it's similar to weapon booster. Just get it up to 5 or 6 in the beginning and keep it there until you max your other skills. I maxed assautler and bot while keeping 5 MG and it works out fine. Right now I'm maxing ME and MG with ME at 18 and MG at 15 i think, they're both skills that are practically as good at lvl 3 as they are at lvl 20 or 30.

Extended time and reduced cost on MG is far more useful than extra damage and stun on a movement skill, IMHO. Opinions can differ on this one. There's this one, big, gaping hole from the moment you start training at typhons till 12x, where it doesn't really matter in what order you locate your SP. Might want to take the stuff that's more beneficial.

He^^ is completely right. I maxed Assaulter before MG (after I got MG to 6) and I somewhat regret it. I didn't even need assaulter for much. SB does the same thing to finish off the last one or two monsters but I guess assaulter did that for me while I got to move to the next few himes and start the new mob ASAP. Better MG probably would've been more appreciated.
