EK 800 (Axe), Nice skill, 4 members party.

We know Guardian of Tales deals a strong death strike, but there is only a few at the resp. Is it worth to imbue with death protection? Or is it better to prioritize fire protection?

We are trying to improve our XP/h.

no mention of protective imbuements here, but it might be helpful to read it https://www.tibiaqa.com/25547/what-the-optimal-defensive-imbuements-gear-prey-for-fire-library-knight

Assumed Rage Squid does 70% fire damage 30% physical

No wheel included

Assumed he had 2x Powerful Dragon Hide

Without more data from you, further calculations are useless. Idk how you hunt there, if you skip ink blood. ETC need your data and your EQ and your desire EQ. 

For now, death damage looks completely irrelevant.

I do not know how to turn it into answer. But please take a screenshot of your data after hunt together with resistance and mitigation. It will be somehow useful for all :D

The damage taken is mostly fire followed by physical with spikes of death and, possibly, earth if you're taking ink blobs. Out of the available shields the best choice would be soulbastion with fire protection imbued ( 10% phys, 15% fire, 10% death ) followed by falcon estuchion with death protection imbued ( 7% phys, 15% fire, 10% death ). In both cases, you'll grab some additional death protection here.

- If your only goal is to take as little *total* damage as possible, you just want to stack fire and physical protection - the death and earth damage amounts in the total damage are so low that this is the best way to reduce total damage *but* the damage you take will be very spiky and if you get low hp you could get killed by an unlucky combo.

- If taking ink blobs, you could take an elven mail imbued with life / fire / earth instead of a falcon plate with life / fire to reduce the earth damage spikes
-  If not taking ink blobs and you want to reduce the death damage, you could take an elven mail imbued with life / fire / death.

For reference, when I was around level 800 ( we always have taken the ink blobs in the crossroad pull ) I used:
magma amulet, cobra axe, spiritthorn ring, falcon coif, elven mail ( life / fire / earth ), falcon graves, pair of soulwalkers, soulbastion ( fire ) and moon mirror ( just to grab a little extra death protection ); this gives good all round fire and physical protection while helping to take the edge off the death and earth combos. Hope this helps!

No mitigation included (base mitigation on youtube around 2,5% - 45 DEF, 110 Shielding, balanced). Might be higher.
