Where is the Guardian class to go now, with EQUAL TANKING and almost nothing else?

<DIV>Ok, please, read this post : <A href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=testfeed&message.id=33287" target=_blank>http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=testfeed&message.id=33287</A></DIV> <DIV>and change where you read templars to guardians, change healing for tanking, and you will get the picture.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Caethre(<A href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/view_profile?user.id=111390" target=_blank>http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/view_profile?user.id=111390</A>), I took the liberty to use your post for this, because you so well put the inssue.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I didn't know this(that templars suffer after LU#13), but, looking their description, when EQ2 were to be released, I was between rolling a templar or a guardian, I went guardian. Why is that ? Because the description said it all : You want to be a tank, rool a guardian. You want to be a healer, roll a templar.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Yes yes, now some will come here and say: NO WAY, they said that all the fighter branch are tanks, all the priest branch are healers, EQUAL.</DIV> <DIV>YES, they said that, and so they made a BIG mistake, because the class description, and the ARCHTYPE description can never be equalized(SP?).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The guardian board is full with ideas for improvements too. What Caethre put in her post is very good, the "special" abilities us guardians have are boring, unpredictible, random, don't require skill, are next to useless really.(IMHO)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>As I put here: <A href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=3&message.id=25282" target=_blank>http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=3&message.id=25282</A></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Start changing things, show us YOU ARE AWARE. OR scrap the classes, do a delete * from DATABASE where class = guardian or templar, and tells us "GO PLAY SOMETHING ELSE(other class or other GAME), and leave us alone".</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Time for you, dev team, to be honest with us. Thank you.</DIV>

I thought the same thing when i read that thread. Guardian and templar were two base classes that were dominant at their archetype's main role and that was it, they didn't do anything else, and anyone who wanted to play them didn't care. Now they're "equal" in the main role, so now they're just a boring, worthless class with no flavor. But what can you do?  Honestly, the best solution seems to be to delete the two classes, but i doubt they will ever do that. By the way, is vanguard out yet? <span>:smileytongue:</span> <div></div>

I'm with you guys you both need fixing.  Problem often is devs often take away just as much or more everytime they give something to a class.  I hope you can get what you need. Good luck to you. <div></div>
