"I feel a beserker or other heavy hitter would be better main.. simply helps keep argo. I agree with guardians should be back up tank.. for all that normaly aplies of saving mages, taking add ons.. and their abilities can help main take less dmg even if nothing goes wrong."
No.. no .. no.
Guardians get more combat arts for protecting the group then berserkers ever can. Making Guardians better tanks. And as for the damage, guardians can equip 2handers as well. Sure we don't get fury or anything like that. But for defense (which is what a tank is suppose to have) guardians take the cake.

Try no subclass, this is not FFXI. If you want a shaman to heal you, group with one.
Oh, and for the record any healing class can usually get the job done in most cases, but as a warrior you won't be any of them.

Thank you for helping me but i do have a question. if i want to sub a warden or w/e for when i am soloing can i change it or once i pick it do i have to keep it? cause soloing would be better to sub a healing job for a melee type char rite? but wen i go into a group id simply take off that subclass. ( please make another statement about this question )
you dont get a "sub job" like in ffxi, when you get your subclass you become that class
like fighter becaomes warrior then guardian, your not a fighter/warrior/guardian, just a guardian
and you cant change your class

Ok thank you, i think i undertsand now. a subclass, achetypes or a class are just what you would call a sertin type of class, so a reg class would be fighter mage priest and scout, a subclass would be a Fighter: - warrior, Brawler, or Crusader-, Mage: -Sorcerer, Enchanter, or Summoner- Priest: - Cleric, Druid or Shaman- Scout: -Scout, Bard, Predator. And for each of the subclasses therea a achrotype you can be as long as you were the subclass for that certin achrotype? ~please tell me if i got it rite or wrong -thank you- ~
