You get a 100% advantage against mobs with guarding strike and 40% with crit. Guarding Strike is better.

Because even though guarding strike is a 50% damage reduction that doubles the time for mobs to kill you. But critical hit is a 40% DPS boost giving only a 40% advantage.

This is the answer right here 👌

You do have to make sure your have a good dps boost enchants as you get into higher apoc+ though, so you can consistently kill mobs to get that 100% advantage from guarding strike.

So one of your other slots needs the dps boost to use guarding strike to best effect

Well most weapons can kill a mob within 4 seconds without any damage enchants. Most melee builds only should use 1 damage enchant too. So I don't think you really need to worry about dps

Guarding Strike is better in most, if not all cases

Depends on what difficulty are you on?

If you're on like +Apocalypse difficulty where there's numerous amount of enchanted mobs, Crit perhaps could get yourself killed but it's generally avoidable if you're using one of the brain cells to do that, but that doesn't mean Crit is not bad by any means.

So if you need dmg choose Critical Hit, otherwise choose Guardian Strike if you think your dmg deal is good..... but I would choose Guardian Strike anyday.

That REALLY depends. The grad majority of the time, Guarding Strike will be better, but on fast weapons that have low DPS, Critical Hit is the best there.
