That about sums it up. Half the time his sandstorms don’t appear. He has an array of one-shot kill attacks as well as a silence. No one I know, including myself, ever fights him more than the single time required - and they always, always get a buddy that’s tier 2 or tier 3.
I’d love to have sat at the design table when they storyboarded this Guardian, because someone didn’t get Gibbs-smacked hard enough during the Q&A phase.
When there are no sandstorms, stagger him. Is the fight annoying? I once thought so until I started doing more t2 and t3 content. Now he’s a joke. His attack patterns aren’t that difficult after you run him a few times.
I haven’t reached tier 3 content yet, but I’ve wrapped up tier 2 content and no Guardian has come close to annoying me as much as that one. Tytalos is by far the stupidest fight and I try to minimize how many times I ever see him.
Words don’t do justice how homicidal that damn Guardian makes me feel lol.
If you’re taking him on at pre-tier 2 item level (580+), he has multiple one-shot mechanics. Unless you have a paladin or bard in the party, of course. But that’s besides the point - and everyone knows about the cheese mechanic. I’m doing just fine though, thanks. Just because I find the Guardian stupid, poorly designed, and a pain in the a$$, doesn’t mean I’m not successfully beating him.
The only thing that needs to get good is your spelling and your elementary troll skills.
Nah imma stick to my ways 
nothing wrong with it but thx for showing your true face by atkin someone on there spelling shows true face 
The only one shot mechanic that he had was pre nerf with the sandstorms which was removed.
I have not fought Tytalos since the nerf but yeah he was pretty cancer. The health and damage values were not in line with a 580 ilvl requirement, and he had several abilities that could stun you into a sandstorm for the one-shot, with no time to use a panacea.
If the 1 shot was removed, or the hp/dmg was rebalanced it would be fine.
Achates is by far more annoying. Also they’ll be back with Heroic guardians
