Guild Wars 2

I would like to thank everyone for their input. Since Race / Class is not a factor (like some other MMO I won’t mention), and Tanking isn’t necessarily the same as I am used to, it would seem that a Guardian Asura is my first step, but rather than building it for soak, maybe I can manipulate more damage output. I don’t have to tank, but I do like being hard to kill and easy to kill others. As an example, my favorite class from the “other guys” was Paladin. Had I been able to make a very small Paladin (you know the race), I think I might have enjoyed it more since aesthetically, I prefer the shortest of races. Not sure why

Hey there. First time here and just now downloading the client. Can’t wait to log in later and finally get to try out the game. I’ve been a 7 year vet of the “other” MMO, and was really looking for a change. That game just isn’t what it used to be.

So, as a first timer in GW2, I’m kinda curious where to start. I should mention that I love tanking, so heavy gear is a must. As for which race, I am a bit torn between Norn and Asura. I know… polar opposites. I was looking to get some input on some other’s favorite Race/Class combos for Tanking.
