the real problem

<DIV>ok from my experince this far is... well guardians actually tnak very well... so do sks pallies bruisers monks........ rangers assaians wizards oh and dont forget conjurer pets they rock... alot better then alot of player tnaks..... honestly imo as guards we do need osmething to make us diff then other classes but... the main thing is how mobs hit and dmg groups dont really need atank anymore... well a good one anyhow... I have a cobalt or 2 and some perls but I have not bothered to upgrade casue why? mobs are really to easy... that being said when we raided I upgraded all the time to get 1 extra hp.. prob is now any class can tnak cause it seems its no prob for healers to kep up... weird thing is.... solo ont he mobs we are exping off of I get killed in 3 hits.... so maybe healers are to good? dps is to good? but either way the end result ends up being that any class can reallly tank if htey can hold aggro... and I am really jsut talking about normal exp groups here... I dunno if anyone else has had this experince... but it has kinda been mine....</DIV>

<DIV>that pretty much sums up most of what people are saying. just need to add a little bit of "a guardian needs to better than than someone in pajamas"</DIV>

<P>This is exactly what I have experienced.</P> <P>......with a full group killing yellows almost anyone can tank.  Our marginalized mitigation/avoidance/shield factor/Health  allows other fighters to tank orange mobs better...</P> <P>Where do we fit in?</P>

well I am not to sure... I mean seems like sony might have made some silent changes or people are jsut getting hurt more... however stats are still very close

<P>The difference is that SOE has nerfed the defense skill. Guardians are specialized in increasing defense skill, yet it doesn't help you in fight now.</P> <P>The end result is that every one can tank, no matter what defense skill he/she has.</P>

<DIV>i think warlocks make the best tanks, they can solo group mobs cause by the time the mobs get to the warlock they are already dead.</DIV>

Actually SOE is the best tank. We keep attacking it, while seems that we can't even put a scratch on it.  Awesome mitigation!
