Berserker or Guardian?Follow

Hmm. Just deciding which to pick. Any ideas, or up and downs of each?
Berserker and Guardian are 2 sides of one coin. Berserker is an offensive tank with higher DPS, Guardian is a defensive tank with many taunting and group protection abilities.
Its a big difference in play style between. Zerkers keep hate by just going all out on the mob, they don't get a lot of hate reduction buffs or abilities that have a taunt effect attached.
Guardians are a lot more about finese and knowing what skills to use when. They don't do practicly any damage, but get a lot of hate related buffs and spells.
If you're just starting off I'd go with zerker. Its easier to get the hang off and become good with.

I started off as a guardian and switched to 'zerker. I've found that they can both take about the ame amount of punishment and still stay standing but the 'zerker can pump out much more DPS. My guild is small and our average group size is 3 so we can really use the extra DPS. The 'zerker really builds up agro and holds it well. I can't speak too much to the high end or end game strategies but this is what I've noticed thus far at around mid-game level.
I would start off with the zerker just because their damage is higher and cant tank just as well as a gaurdian (at the lower levels) they can use all the same stuff, just zerkers got more damage. Your going to want a little solo ability because in the early 50s its kinda hard to get a group.
