and while I'm waiting 3 hours for the patcher to finish, figured I'd ask for general advice before I start my trial?

I've been a healer for most of MMO career (or a miner if you count my time in Eve), thinking about rolling a tank to muck around with for a couple months to kill time.

Thanks :)

I'm not sure exactly whta your question is but I'm assuming you mean "whats the best tank?"

 

Depends on what you're looking for. Monks/Bruisers deal the most damage but have low defense. Paladins can heal as well as deal damage with a fair defense, but they kill things slower. Guardians take forever to deal damage but can take damage very well.

Come Get Some!!

I didnt catch a question in there either but am guessing like above, that it was supposed to be a tank question.

Well for your general all around plate tank nothing beats a Zerker with the Shadowknight coming in second.  If you plan to raid at all a lot later on then a Guardian would be a more welcome tank in the raid than any other, but the other two choices would win out over a Guardian for general groups any day.

The best of the non plate wearing tanks would probably be the Swashie/Brigand (Chain), or Monk/Bruiser (Leather).
