ok well regarding guardian tanks.... you must understand its not that we cant tank.. we can... if we couldnt I wouldnt be 58... the problem lies in the fact
 
1.  Scouts and pet tanks.. tank about as well as we do pets sometimes bettter given how they hold aggro.. this is not right in anyway... and is due to the fact that healers just dont have a problem keeping up with the amount of damage that mobs are doing... I think this is partly due to alot of things one probably being the nerf to defense us having lower hp lower avoidance... so of course the mobs had to be easyier.. also probably healers got a bump of some sort or a mix of that.... I have seen a dirge tank ^^^ 4 levels higher then him in a trio... the fix for this is either nerf pet tanks and scouts OR make mobs hit harder and tanks actually have mnore of an edge in tanking..
 
2.  in regards to brawlers... yes we can tank about the same as them... though they do have an edge... not only that our fabled ability of being able to keep aggro.. which is fine imo... they can do without having to taunt like us... and they do it better along with have better self buffs better dmg heals and utility... this totally disregards balance in everyway... again its not that guards are not good enough its just that... we have no edge or any other class atm... and that is why people are ticked and it will cause problems
 
3. kinda part of the first one mobs in general are just to weak and this is becasue SOE is wanting all tanks to tank.. but the real problem is now anyone can tank... I have lost aggro to a warlock more then once and he goes and tanks the entire time... sure it is streaky.. and sure he is getting heals... BUT HE TANKS IT THE WHOLE TIME...
 
4. our legendary 52 55 and 58 spells are mostly jsut junk.... our 52 is useful no doubt but so not as cool as our orinigal one... and hey there are classes that hold aggro without taunting I want a buff SMILEY.. our 55 spell is one the useles intercept line but above that it doesnt work well and our 58 one is jsut bruiser one that kills our shield in 2 times
 
thanks I would think this is pretty much all of our problems
