Hey guys, I'm running a level 80 Guardian with 30 trait lines in both Valor and Honor, and another 10 in Zeal right now. My gear is mostly exotic with stats put into toughness, and vitality to compensate for the Guardians lacking HP pool. The problem is I'm getting steamrolled in Ascalonian Catacombs explore paths and I find myself spending most of the instance on the floor. I'm making good use of dodging and I know my role yet I'll still have, for example, a warrior and a thief in my party who are keeping their health bars up with no issue while I'm the one hitting the ground over and over. Specifically I have issues with the ghost packs at the end of AC path 2; the ranger / elementalist mobs will come out and target me down before I can even pop an aegis skill, and even though I'm popping wall of reflection for rangers and using LOS to my advantage I'm still getting face-melt damage while my party seems to be holding their own alright. Just getting to the point where I'd like to ask the community for basic comprehensive survival tips specifically for handling mobs in explore dungeons.

Things I am aware of and make use of: -armor repairs after fights
- dodging attacks
- Guardian defensive skills
- LOS when available
- weapon swapping when needed
- mobility while fighting
- spreading out in mob fights

Thanks for any advice!
