Is it even possible to be a Guardian without being a tank? I like tanking, but I wanted to be a heavy armor melee dps instead of a medium armor dual wield dps.

I am specced in Vigilance and was talking with my brother who said I would end up as an off tank even if I were to go into an ops attempting to be a dps.

Anything on this topic would be great and much apprecitated.
Thanks

The guardian can do good dps. You might become an off tank if that's something you are interested in; though truly all of the bosses can be done with one tank(with a decent group)

I can't say a ton about lvl 50 guardian, mine is lvl 40 currently. But like any class do a little research, and your dps will be there.

Depends, Vig is great for DPS, but if you plan on PvP, Focus is the route to take. Helps keep you from getting kited and the procs lead to some healthy crits off of Force Sweep.

Yeaj, I wasn't planning on doing too much PvP with my Guardian. I just wanted to ask and see what other people thought of DPS from a Guardian.

Thanks for your responses!

Well in general, most melee DPS are a few steps behind some of the ranged classes :/

What if you wanted to be a hybrid? I'm spec'd with both the defense and vigilance trees, and it's worked out pretty well so far. Any thoughts on using the focus tree as a hybrid?
