trying to stir the pot

found this post about guardians not being the best tank and nothing givin in return.  I am voting for a 5% bonus to mitigation bonus on a guardian to help them rise above every other common plate tank.  Sorta like how brawlers get a bonus to avoidance guardian (no zerker now bad zerker!) needs mitigation.  As well as a biger AE taunt.  That or make em a buffer show palies how to give antoehr class AC +1000 AC lol jk but I wouldnt put that last one past sony hehe. NOTE!!!!! this does NOT say the ONLY TANK.  NOR does it say a tanking god.  It simply says the best meaning every other class that spams the forums, like me <dirty monk> wont try and hijack the thread saying oh monks should  be the best raid tank it only makes sence Im a fighter afterall. Every other fighter has something else to fall back on when not the main tank they need something to always let them be the main tank in a group, though I always push for it bc I prefer DPS and doing my block spell on the MT more than being the MT for a group.  <div></div>

I rather see a mitigation increase for all plate tanks.  <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

dude i duo with a paly a lot we take down lvl 49 - 50 ^^^ mobs whlie he tanks and heals himself, we time stuns and just pure own the mob.  you dont need a mitigation increase bro.  Just give it a rest the other plate tanks have other stuff thats great guardians dont. Its not equal tanking atm and its definatly not equal utility atm. <div></div>
