I'd honeslty take any of those WoW sets over the tranny samurai we got.

I remember seing a dev saying they felt Guardians were fine and didn't need any buff/adjusting. It was in the old Knights/Warriors need a big buff thread from 1-2 weeks ago. So I wouldn't hold out too much for anything honestly. I agree that we need some more AoE love or a ranged pull/disarm tho

They should turn Saberthrow into Link's boomerang, so it brings the enemy back with it.

They shoot lasers and pewpews, are ranged AND make your hp go down, 'nuf said. Buff vibroknives imo

Arguing about it for pages does tho. But hey, don't let me tell you the internet isn't serious businezz

I didn't realize Sidious had so many fanboys This thread made me lol Also, Vader in his prime got beat by obi-wan

Obviously some internet troll knows better than the author himself. Thats common internet knowledge tsk tsk tsk

Die! Meatbags!

Playing a light side Jedi Consular There is no emotion, there is peace. There is no passion, there is serenity. There is no chaos, there is harmony. Now excuse me while I go slaughter 45 random smugglers trying to feed their families in cold blood

T7 has really good AoE threat early on so its normal. He will keep doing this until you turn off his taunts or switch him to dps mode. Either way, get used to having a hard time keeping aggro until lvl 16-18ish where you will get your first taunt and soresu form. I also find that for leveling, speccing in vigilance for the free Sweeps helps with AoE capabilities, but you will be more squishy tanking flashpoints as you'll lack the -40% damage cd from the defense tree. Guardians are all about choosing your weakness while leveling. Either be very tough and have a harder time on AoE, or squishier with good AoE capabilities, or all out single target dps with the Focus tree. Most of the complaints for Questing and solo PvE can be narrowed down to the fact Guards get their healer companion way too late (Sith Assassins suffer the same issue). Most people will tell you their guards was tedious to level but that it picked up in the 30s, well thats also when you get your pocket healer, which is essential for any serious solo content. Like the old saying goes, a tank is nothing without a healer. Sure, troopers and consulars "feel" easier, but it has a lot to do with getting their healer earlier than Guards. With the guard, there's this awkward feeling that you're naked for a long time. Being a tank you'd expect to be this wall that doesn't die easilly, yet you do for around 35 levels because you have no heals to back you up when things get rough. So before your mid 30s leveling your guard will mostly be a dps race against every encounter, which doesn't feel right when you remember you're playing a tanker. Hopefully, something will be done eventually to remedy this kind of situation as it affects a lot of classes, something along the lines of companion respec'ing or being able to pick each companion's role would fix that. Meanwhile, leveling is a dps race, so the most effective way to level a guard solo until you get your healer is to spec dps and burn them down before they kill you. That or tank a LOT of flashpoints to compensate. When all is said and done, Guardians are a lot of fun. It is afterall the iconic class and the Kenobi template.

I'm calling bull***** bub. Only Vanguards can do it, and even then their health bar disagrees. Assassins can't handle the damage. Guards could handle the damage (using cds) but can't keep the threat. The reason behind this situation where no tank is truely comfortable with real AoE tanking is because the devs wanted to force groups to CC 1-2 adds on pulls. I agree, having to CC is a chore and its not fun when you run with randoms. I also agree that guardians need a ranged pull, a ranged disarm or a ranged AoE skill. Either that or buff the hell out of saberthrow

Lmao, the set looks like a Samuraiish Tranny from the Futuuuuuurre They really need to fire the designer for republic gear, that guy is single-handedly causing Bioware to lose money. Fire that guy Jedi Knight gear needs to be bulky, not metal spandex or w/e they call this

Just a tribute to the best Jedi Guardian that walked the Star Wars universe. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=la3DTpgg6wA Good ol' Obi-Wan had it rough from the start and all the way trough to his death, lost his master, lost his apprentice and yet he never turned to the dark side despite it all. The one that stayed true to the Jedi ideals from the beggining to finish, he wasn't the best in any specific area of expertise, yet he was one of the best Knights the Republic ever had. Long live the Jedi Guardian template! Makes me proud to play a Guard.

I actually like this, but it really belongs in the suggestion forums if its to be brought to the devs' attention.

Where the hell is it? It should be ready by now and if it isn't then just give us the old Match to chest option back...

Anyone saying old MMOs had no grind is either a liar or under 14...

Wouldn't mind having more skills that don't shoot out of our rifle. Soldiers are trained to use their bodies/armors as weapons too.

There's your problem. I know, it sucks. Also, if we had Recount, this type of situation would be easilly solved.

If your group can't be bothered to focus fire the merc first then you deserve to die.

Any ACDC song would fit well with the ******ness of troopers/BHs

Optimus Primes No seriously, Revan. Anakin was just an emo kid who needed 20 years to get that Palpatine was bad.

Especially if you plan on healing, theres no point playing an Op

Free Consume procs and reusable medpacs would like a word. Good Sorcs don't run out of force.

Not only does it need to be made passive, it should also get buffed a bit.
