Best TanksFollow

I personally think that pally's are the best. They even get some attack spells. :)

Paladins are good but they in no way, shape or form even come close to a guardian in holding hate, all because of one little ability. Hold the Line, every time the guardian gets hit they have a 50% chance to increase hate with the mob, and not by just a little bit either.

Plus a guardian has spells like Manuver, which is a buff on an ally that reduces their hate by quite a bit, and allows them to have a chance to use the guards avoidence if they do get hate.


I've played both to fairly high levels and I'd have to say that guardians are much betetr tanks if played right.

PFFFT man pallys get amends it is just like hold the line and also pallys can hold hate with healing spells. It isent the job it's the player and if guardian had all armor and spells as pally we would still win them over. We also get wards which if you have money and get masters you can ward yourself for 800 at level 40. This is a huge ablity and causes hate toward mob like a taunt spell. Also using sheild bashes for hate and kicks plus stuns and when in trouble healing just like a healer it is a very big help. Iv'e fought raid monsters with my pally and epics and had no prob. I think it depends on what your looking at and what level. It all depends on the person playing both the jobs can be good but pallys can do dmg/tank/heal. What can be better. Also if you have money you can hold hate pretty well if you get masters. But i am going to try out a guardian it looks kinda kewl and heaard some kewl stuff. I know at higher levels guardians get spells where they can hold 3x of dmg that they hold but i mean thats like 65+ so it will be awhile. This is the only thing i think people see when people gloat about guardians.
