@Zeddy:
If you are soloing Danger Rooms like this, ever heard of "Stealth"? should you encounter the Gun Puppies spawned in the Danger rooms, the first thing you might want to do is NOT to get caught within their "line of sight". A careless move can catch every Pups' attention and the room turns into bullet hell REAL quick. Take a quick look at where they're facing and try not to get in their "line of sight".

• If they didn't notice you, you can sneak around and give 'em a quick overhead with a charge attack. While you're sneaking around them, don't get too close or they will notice you. If they still didn't notice you, well... just give 'em a quick overhead like I said. Just make sure to take them down fast though.
• If they did notice you, TAKE THEM OUT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. If you plan to use your Troika (Callahan wouldn't work well against Constructs), close the distance while defending yourself from their projectiles. Once you close the distance, like I said, take them out as soon as possible. If you plan to use your Iron Slug however, simply take them out in a distance.

As for the Scuttlebots, their pattern is easy to predict, so you should have no problem dealing with them.

If you're attempting Danger Rooms in parties however... well, I'm not sure, but I may spare a few tips:

• Since you're mostly a melee combatant, as a Guardian, you can rely on the other members to take down the Gun Puppies for you, since your Callahan, like I said, is almost useless against Constructs (unless you're using Iron Slug). If your teammate is a Gunslinger, good for you if he's using Alchemers to take out the Puppies.
• A good strategy I would recommend, is that you can stand in front of the Gun Puppy's line of fire, to protect your fellow Gunslinger for him to take it out. Just make sure you have plenty of shield-power to keep up the defense long enough.

@Gent:
If you were to compare Ironmight with Skolver, the differences are:

• Ironmight provides more Normal defense, compared to Skolver;
• Ironmight slows wearer down to Medium Attack-Speed-Decrease (ASD), Skolver boosts wearer's damage with swords to Very High;
• Ironmight resists Stun, whereby Skolver resist Freeze.

The same can be said for comparisons between Volcanic Plate and any other Volcanic sets. Answering your question:

• If you were to look at either Ironmight or Volcanic, their normal defense reaches beyond the stat bars, even when they are unheated, meaning that they can reduce more than 50% normal damage dealt by monsters, compared to Skolver's or Vog's 37%(lvl 1) - 42%(lvl 10) normal mitigation. Remember that normal damage still exist in some monsters, even in Tier 3, so it's not a bad idea to equip some normal defense on yourself.

Because of the fact that Plate shields possess an insanely-high normal defense, this can be true, even with Trojans. Like what I said above, Normal damages still exist in some monsters, even in T3.

If you're dealing with Trojans, the Plate shield mitigates Normal damages and Stuns the Trojan deals, meaning the shield can hold up longer. I can't say the same for its Shadow damages and Shock (only when buffing) though, but it's possible to survive the Trojan's attacks while shielding. As for the other monsters, it depends on what kind of damages or statuses they are dealing.

If you plan to get an Ancient Plate shield, just take note it's similar to the Volcanic Plate shield, only without Fire resists. The amount of Normal defense for the Ancient Plate shield is unknown, however, because of the fact that its stats went beyond the bar, so we can only assume it mitigates more than 50% Normal damages, like Ironmight or Volcanic Plate does.

If you plan to get a Skelly shield instead, it's a good choice if you're having trouble with Shadow-dealing monsters. You can, however, go for the Crest of Almire as an alternative to the Skelly shields.

@Gent:

Toothpickers... Oh man, this is going to be a tough one to answer.

Because of how the Flourishes work and the damage they deal in-game, they can be unfair weapons, even in PVP. Fortunately, they only deal Piercing, so you can wear Piercing armor to counter it. But don't rely on them too much, as you can only take reduced Piercing damage while wearing them. Even then, you can still be screwed in a few hits, by those DAMN SKOLVER CLONES.

If you really want to counter dem "Fragile Speedsters", there is one thing to consider:

AVOID DIRECT CONFLICT. The arsenal of the Strikers focus on Speed, as their main strength. The arsenal of the Guardians, however, focus on sheer power. This can mean two things:

• As a Striker, speed is their strength;
• As a Guardian, speed is YOUR WEAKNESS.

Should you face a boosting Striker (as a Guardian), you have no choice but to defend yourself from the onslaught (in other words, prepare to be barraged). But remember, as the attacking Striker, when you run out of juice (booster power), what do you get? A normal knight. As the defender, use this to your advantage, as a slow Striker is a dead Striker (in other words, attack when the Striker runs out of booster-power). Plus, Strikers usually have less health due to the -3 Health Penalty from their Strike Boosters, compared to your +9 Health Bonus from your Guardian's Shield. Unless, of course, the Strikers use Heart-Pendants.

Speaking of Pendants, Strikers can, also use Sword Modules to bolster their already-insanely-high damage output with their swords, but JUST be thankful that the bonuses cap at Maximum!. Even then, like I said, you can still be screwed in a few hits.

1. Nah. Even though we can be tired, this doesn't stop us from being insanely-powerful protectors. Plus, it's a good workout too. XD
2. Because... we treasure the lives of our friends and loved ones more. There are times when the world will fall into chaos, and you may never know when your friends or loved ones will be in danger, even if it involves death. As such, we'll always be valiant protectors; risking our lives for the safety of our loved ones. Also, because of the fact that we're insanely powerful, it feels like we have the power to control violence with sheer force.
3. I dunno; stuff 'em through the vents? For beverages however, We use straws instead of drinking from our bottles. :P
