I have noticed the same thing with wizards and as a Guardian I have started to use it to the groups advantage by casting my protection spells on them and letting them tank. There is no way I can even come close to generating as much agro as they can and have since given up carrying around a shield and using my taunt skills.On raids it’s a different story as scouts drop quickly when they pull agro from raid mobs thus the role of a fighter as the MT still exists. But in single groups why not use their high avoidance to the group’s advantage. Place your three protection spells on them to help offset any possible damage they would be dealt and watch just how fast mobs can be ran over.
Of course I still suck at DPS, but it seems to be offset by our now functional protection spells. This is not to say our class is not majorly flawed as a fighter tank class, but we do have some intresting means to still support our groups that is not avalible to the other fighters.
