I played all healing roles and tank roles myself, but I prefer healing to tanking. I heal mostly in random group flashpoints, rarely do any raid. So, all I can tell you is just in a 4 man group. From my experience, vanguard is the easiest to heal and easiest to play of the three tanks. They have more ranged aoe than the other 2 tanks. They also have charge and pull which are great tools in tanking. The downside is, vanguard have the least number of defensive cd and the the cd isn't as powerful as other tanks.

I have a lvl50 defense guardian, lvl 50 seer sage, lvl 50 cm commando and now working on my jedi shadow. When I was tanking with a random group, I always tell the dps my way of doing hm fps, ie, you pull it, u tank it. When I was healing with a random group, I also tell the dps that "u pull it, u tank it; I focus on keeping the tank and myself alive in the choas."

I fully support your points. GS definitely need to deal more damage. Its a joke right now to put 31 points into defense and get an almost useless skill.

Thank you very much. Its been a very useful.

Good post, it included so many suggestions that I would like to let Bioware to know. Keep it up.

I am 100% agree with you suggestion. But I doubt BW would listen to any of your suggestion. Just take a look at the crafters and their suggestion.

I would like to pay the full price (mine is a collector's edition) to add the flush bottom for me to flush my companies out of the airlock if I need to. Theran is so *********** annoying when I am playing the space battle and in the adventure, he act so coward. I would enjoy watching him pushed out into the space while I am playing my space mission.
