\subsubsection{Basic Mode - Eggblocking}
-As for Guardian eggblocking, you will rely on two skills:
+Eggblocking on Guardian can be done with a single skill:
+\href{https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Shield_of_the_Avenger}{\uskill{Shield of the Avenger}}.
+The duration of this skill is long enough to cover a full spit, it is easy to intercept all projectiles and you can cast it at range.
+The \emph{charge} system means that you will not have to rely on a \enquote{back up} skill, as you will always have at least one charge for the next spit.
+
+The only downside to this skill is the relatively long cast time.
+You have to press it as soon as the animation starts, otherwise you might miss eggs from the first cough.
+
+To block, simply use \uskill{Shield of the Avenger} on the wurm whenever a spit is happening.
+No need to specifically differentiate between egg or husk spits, as the recharge time is low enough anyway.
+
+\begin{triviabox}
+ \uskill{Shield of the Avenger} used to have a bug which made it block unblockable projectiles.
+ This meant that you could use it for husk and AoE blocking.
+ This bug has been fixed in the July 24, 2018 patch.
+\end{triviabox}

+If you want to know which skills you can bring as a back up, or if you have troubles with the timing, you can check out the next section, which describes a different setup.

+\subsubsection{Basic Alternation - Eggblocking}
+
+For this build, you will rely on two skills:
The first one is \href{https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Wall_of_Reflection}{\uskill{Wall of Reflection}}, which is a fairly low-cooldown, high-duration reflection skill.
The downside of this skill is that the placement needs to be a bit more accurate, since it is not a dome.
As such, you should either adjust the angle to cover all three egg spit paths, or you should place the \uskill{Wall of Reflection} right on top of the Sweet Spot.

If you want to be extra sure, you can take \href{https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Shield_of_the_Avenger}{\uskill{Shield of the Avenger}} as an extra utility.
This will give you another ability that you can use to block eggs.
