Planning on a shield guardian- lots of questions

[electrofux]

I am thinking about making a Shield Guardian but since i have not much experience with guardians and because of the fact that there are not many shield guardians around alot of questions came up.

I have seen that good shields have a very high critchance/critdmg stats (10/500 without augs) and when looking at the armors and other options i figure a guardian can end up easily above 30% crit 800 critdam with his shield. Together with 50% dmg incr from shield bash (+ the pretty good eleprocc chance) and Shieldmaster and an optional anchor it sums up to what i think should be good dmg. But is that so?

Also shield throw with its whopping 50% crit chance looks like it can be put to good use. It would mean 80% crit and 800 critdam= 6,4 times the dmg of the shield, while the trown shield hits several mobs. Any good?

Then comes Shied turn with 500% increased ele effect. With shields that have 4000 stun attack this would mean a final stun attack strength of 20000. Considering bosses have defenses ranging from 1000-10000 is it possible to stun bosses?

I also want to provide the defelction aura for the group but i was wondering about one thing. When a mob stands within the aura and shoots do the projectile still get refllected or destroyed or does the shot have to come from outside the aura?

I am thankfull for any input on the viability of shield guardians :-)

maybe something like that? (there's Anchor 1, but planner somewhy don't show it.)

yeah something along those lines, but  i am unsure about the general viability especially of the different shield skills. They all have some good sides like the extremely high crit chance on the shield throw but i have never used them.
Actually i have tried shield throw and it was very erratic. Most of the time the shield didnt go for the mob i aimed for but instead just hit the barrel left of the mob or went behind me.

Also does strength increase the dmg of shield attacks?

Also does strength increase the dmg of shield attacks?

i think it is ,but not for shield throw - just because it's ranged. and 'bout it's crit: good, but 8sec cd isn't good.  i tried maxed shield bash and some points in aura of Power for constant spamming of it in HGL, easy way to kill stuff one by one. for HOARDS we can use stampede,throw n turn. but don't rly know how effective they'll be considering CDs and problems with aiming and pathfinding(sometimes stampede just port u for one meter closer to enemy).

and btw,i'm highly interested in this theme too

I remember back on EU Server i used Shieldturn in combination with prayer or retribution. It was lots of sfx apllied to mobs and through the phase of PoR and some ignite it was lots of fun and damage. But didnt try guard on this new server yet...
