Astral strike clarification

[Kangataz]

1. Does astral strike trigger guard reaction when the hero using it is close to monsters(same way as attacking ranged when in close proximity to monsters)?
2. If it does, does it trigger if the target actually is close to the user(say he is using it on a monster close to a guild member that just happens to be in the same square)?

good question, I'm sure loophole master can give us an official ruling.

My play group, however, would probably treat this as a normal attack and use the rules associated to it. Minus the payback reaction of the target monster of course.

No Astral Strike itself would not trigger a Guard reaction
