[Zodi]

<DIV>I would like to start a debate to see which are makes the best guardian, taking in consideration the new changes in DoF.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>In my opinion here it is:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>HUMAN:</DIV> <DIV> Pros:</DIV> <UL> <LI>   Best non-physical bonuses from the start. 3% to everything equals 21% total</LI> <LI>   Very balance stats STR, STA, AGI & WIS</LI> <LI>   3% Power (Human Trait) Good to unleash all you attacks</LI></UL> <P> Cons:</P> <UL> <LI>  STR and STA not as strong as OGRE, TROLL and BARBARIAN</LI> <LI> </LI></UL> <P> OGRE:</P> <P> Pros:</P> <UL> <LI>Best STR in the game</LI> <LI>3% Health (Ogre Trait)</LI> <LI>Very good STA second to TROLL who is 30</LI></UL> <P> Cons:</P> <UL> <LI>Low agility only 15</LI></UL> <P> B ARBARIAN:</P> <P> Pros:</P> <UL> <LI>Best balanced tank stats in the game STR - AGI -STA 25-20-25</LI> <LI>3% crushing (whis I have heard is the most damage done by HEROIC-RAID Monsters (Please correct)</LI></UL> <P> Cons:</P> <UL> <LI>Neither +3% power or 3% health from racial trait.</LI></UL> <P> </P> <P> Let me start with saying I dont think there is a "best race for tanking". But i think it will be a discussion to hear what other (GUARDIANS) have to say about this taking in cosnideration the new combat system is iin place. </P> <P><FONT color=#ffff66>The only thing I would like to ask is: "PLEASE POST SERIOUSLY AND IF I EXCLUDED A PARTICULAR RACE FOR WHAT EVER REASON ADD IT IN PRO'S and CON'S FORMAT"</FONT></P> <P><FONT color=#ffff66></FONT> </P> <P><FONT color=#ffff66>Thank you everyone for your time</FONT></P> <P> </P> <P> </P>

Dwarf has: 3% to magic and disease +5 defense 3% hps 5 extra STA Think only an Ogre can match those. <div></div>

[Ashtu]

Yes, the classes that had +5 to defense still have it.  That's pretty big.

[TunaBoo]

Ogre always wins, how many times do I have to tell you all. <div></div>

How about we save everyone the time and typing and just all reread the "does race matter at high levels" thread. That way we dont have to all retype the same pointless arguments? Make up your own mind, there is no definitive answer today and even if there was it will have changed by next week anyway :p <div></div>

Humans can get the trait to add 3% crushing/slashing/etc.They also can get a +5 def buff on top of their perma +5 to def. And a +5 stamina buff. As well as a +5 to armorsmithing which is a good tradeskill for a guardian to take.

Halflings hands down easily the winner <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Just for the screen shots of a halfling giving the middle finger to a dragon. Halflings should have built in auto taunting because they are just so irritatingly cute and yet annoying <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Pick What you enjoy the Most. As Guardians are not good solo classes, there is no real best class, the most important thing is the people you play, group and raid with. Who would ever have thought a Kerra Guardian could easly tank Darathar! In Fact ANY Class or race  proberly could. <div></div>
