What made YOU choose Guardian?

[Br0]

<DIV>For me it was:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>- Highest maximum HP's of ANY class:   check</DIV> <DIV>- Ability to wear the heaviest of armors:  check</DIV> <DIV>- Ability to take damage for others:   check</DIV> <DIV>- Group taunts:   check</DIV> <DIV>- Good defensive buffs:   check</DIV> <DIV>- I wanted to have someone that most classes feel comfortable standing behind in the thick of battle:   check</DIV> <DIV>- Because I DO NOT CARE about DPS:   check</DIV> <DIV>- Because I thought the name was cool:   check</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>My point?  Before you jump on the bandwagon and start saying how gimped the Guardian is, look at your checklist and make sure your expectations are not being met.  If they aren't, play a different class.  If your expectations are being met, but you're still unhappy for some reason, stick it out...  it'll get better.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Sulaco, Guardian of Unrest.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

Here are my reasons:a) I wrongly clicked when asked what I wanted to be!!! <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />b) My guild needed one?c) Originally wanted to be a necro, but they don't seem to be as much fun as EQ1 necro.d) I like being spanked by skeletons and orc.. :p

[Br0]

<DIV>Lol, well those are good enough reasons, <SPAN>Dalthenn.</SPAN></DIV>

[Xti]

<DIV>those wre my reasons too</DIV> <DIV>but if i knew that a zerker was a better tank, then i would have been one instead</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

[LumpyD]

<DIV>zerker is not a better tank.. different, not better. I'd rather have a guardian tanking in my groups and I play a zerker.. that should tell you something. </DIV>

[Ellind]

<DIV>Oooh... should have known you were a zerker coming on to our threads Lumpy.  Now I know why you bothered to flame me directly.  Would hate to see guardians be better at at least *one* thing than zerkers huh?  Namely defense since you're better at offense?  Don't worry, I don't blame you at all... if I was a zerker I'd be all about keeping things the way they are too.  There's no difference in our classes except that you do a ton more damage.  Anything we're missing?  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Now go flame somewhere else or post up some facts.</DIV>

[LumpyD]

<DIV>Why don't you post some facts smart-**mods 4 teh win!!1!**? You haven't done anything but make accusations, so I wanted to join in the fun!!!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>screw it, I had more posted, but this is a waste of my time.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

[Ellind]

<DIV>Hey, you were the one who flamed me directly, not the other way around.  And besides, Daschel comes in here, being a berzerker, tried to understand the problem and got me focused on what the problem really was... so there's always a nice way to approach the argument, then the flame way.  One obviously got better results for all of us, and it wasn't the flaming way.</DIV>

[Llane_Lightbring]

<DIV>1) I love being the main tank, played that role in combat for a while in other games and love it. The guardian seems to be just that to me.</DIV> <DIV>2) Everyone else in my guild plays a Pally, I dare to be different.</DIV> <DIV>3) The name. <BR>4) The shiny armor.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>:smileyvery-happy:</DIV>

[Akaran2]

<DIV>1) Doesn't seem right to be a Paladin when the Gods aren't with us.</DIV> <DIV>2) Able to tank with ease.</DIV> <DIV>3) Love the armor.</DIV> <DIV>4) Highest HP totals of any other class. That's a seling point for me.</DIV>

[Terribl]

<DIV>So I could:</DIV> <DIV>1)Have just as good armor as zerkers</DIV> <DIV>2)Have 30 more hp than zerkers</DIV> <DIV>3)Do a whole lot less damage than zerkers</DIV> <DIV>4)Get out-agroed by zerkers</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>

[Syraxen]

<DIV>Because I dont want to be extra class_04, when people form a group they tend to do certian things, first they need a tank, then a healer, perhaps another healer, maybe a scout and then they fill the group with that ever is left over, I want to be a needed class and not a group filler so I chose guardian which i believed would be considered the primary choise for a groups tanking needs.  Besides that the guild did not have one yet either.  I fairly happy with my choise so far though i wish i could keep agro on a group of mobs without having to use HtL every time, perhaps more ae taunts will come, i'm still a bebe <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>
