Pot, kettle. Clearly someone else enjoys being a pompous *** as well.

Nope. I am however fairly certain double negatives are double negatives regardless of your native language and carry the same result. In regards to the OP there is a link to a blog by a top level pvp guardian the name of which I think is Nyan and I may be wrong but I do believe they play an offensive guardian.

So you are saying they can do something against 2 people?

Lord Praven took three tries at a yellow con while tank spec'd. All this complaining about these bosses is just silly. Use your cooldowns, rotate your interrupts and they are challenging (as they should be) and not at all impossible. I will say since Praven I have downed every boss on first try as tank spec and that isn't always using Doc.

And sages have a heal and two dps trees so are you saying one of their dps trees should be a tank tree then?

Yeah if you don't have a lightsaber and you are off the starting planet you've gone waaaay off path.

My guardian is level 35, tank spec'd and as it is I can plow through 4-5 groups before I have to stop and rest using Kira. Now that I've received Doc I can pretty much just chain pull my way to happiness with only the very small rest if I do something silly like pull 3 groups at once. Leveling up though was the same way, I had no problem pulling 2-3 packs before having to stop and rest. Make sure you're keeping your companion geared up otherwise their efficiency is massively reduced.

There are several treads about this particular encounter I'd start with browsing those for tips.

Synthweaving as has been mentioned can get you some blue/purple recipes. You're going to be looking for "redoubt xxx" if you want a synthweaved item with +defense on them. Starting on Tatooine you'll be able to collect + defense enhancements from some of the later quests as rewards. If you've got free money and don't mind spending it on Alderaan you can purchase a lightsaber for ~12k and strip it for another defense enhancement, Other than that you're stuck waiting on crafted items and random drops.

All I hear from this is I want to play this game like the AoE-fest that WoW became in the WoTLK expansion. What you want and what this game is currently aren't meshing so it probably is best you quit tanking and went dps.

The system isn't broken. Your belief that you should be able to AoE tank like a paladin in WoW is the issue. I have 0 problem tanking and holding threat. I don't find myself waiting around on a cooldown to be effective. If you have fail dps that are nOt CCing and focus firing your target news flash let it end poorly for them. It isn't your job or the healers to carry stupid. Maybe the issue is that I run with a fairly constant group who understands CC and assist targeting and you seem to be runnin with fail pugs.

All of this is what I keep seeing with everyone single QQ thread about tanking. DPS needs to not be fail, use your CC (it is there for a reason) and have a kill order. If you can't hold threat single target that's a you issue not the class.

You need to expand her tool bar and right click the ability. If you do this she uses it as it comes off cooldown as it will be on automatic.

I actually had no problems on this fight. Went in with Kira and downed him in the first go. I did use interrupts whenever I could, stun removal and used ward + the damage reduction in order to do it. I will say the next boss fight on Tatooine took me a handful of tries and required using the force ability to reset the defensive cooldown. Varis I did at 25 and the next guy at 27. My guess is having a few more levels would really simplify the fights.
