Happy Holidays! Guardian vs Vanguard revisited!

     Hello everyone!  It's been a tiring holiday for me.  I had a week off from work and had too much fun at my Christmas party.  I've been busy leveling also, though not what's expected.  On a whim, I decided to revisit the Jedi Guardian, but this time to level as a tanking spec.  Now the reasoning behind this was two fold:

1. I gave it quite a bit of thought and felt that perhaps that the Guardian would have better class synergy with the two people I would PvP with.
2. I wanted to try leveling as Defense spec with the Guardian.  The reason being, I enjoyed leveling as Shield much more than Tactics on my Vanguard so I wanted to compare apples to apples.

Trooper Vanguard vs Jedi Guardian

So typically in MMO's, I am usually drawn to the heavy armor classes.  I primarily played a Resto Shaman in my WoW days, and while it's not really a heavy armor class, the fact that they could use a shield helped offset that.  I did also play as a Ret Paladin for some time, mainly to do 2's with my usual PvP partner as Rogue and Ret.  So that being said, I've been playing the Jedi Guardian, Trooper Commando and Vanguard for a while now trying to decide what to play post release.
