I dissagree Guards have the best ability to hold agro bar none. For raiding Hold the Line group of tuants is invaluable, and is also incredibley usefull during small group situations. I very RARELY if ever lose agro, unlike my crusader counterparts. Also we get the most powerful tuants, and unlike any other class during raids, we dont have to hit the mob to gain hate(which results in lots of ripostes, which equals lots of wipes). The biggest problems with Guards is the lack of utility that is usefull(I agree the protection line of spells is just stupid) and the fact that our DPS is signifigantly lower then other tank classes, AND that the current mitigation formula is a bit screwey.
There are lots of apparent ways to fix these problems: Fix tower sheild mitigation, raise total mitigation, etc. etc..
My point here is at least they NOTICE the problem which is a step in the right direction.

After level 44, we have an advantage in taunting, so we are better at holding aggro. Not sure how much better.
Prior to 44 I'd say we were the same as every other fighter.
