Charge Blade Guard Points

[DaMeenMachine]

I'm really enjoying my time with Wilds but I am really disappointed that the perfect guard mechanic made guard points completely obsolete. It was one of the things that drew me to the charge blade when I first started. Getting a stronger block by timing different combos or attacks always seemed really rewarding. With a perfect guard and 0 points in the guard skill you can take any hit and not move at all but with max guard and a guard point you can still get knocked back SUPER far. There's no incentive to ever use a guard point or have guard as a skill.

Anyone else feeling this way?

Felt that since World, they made Guard Points super slow on CB, except the good old sword -> axe one but even then it was useful.

If they made GP be able to perfect block, then there would be a point. I think you'll legit get more mileage from evade extender than guard.
