Having 3 guardians I learnt that focusing the effort and time one piece of gear or one weapon at a time, maximizes the upgrade process. I rotate the same weapon through my guardians. I can't rotate gear because I have one of each class tho. Coming into HOW what's your priority or preference: Concentrate on ascending your weapons first, thinking that the best defense is to hit harder? OR Focus on ascending your gear considering that you will hit less hard but last longer?
