I don't think you'll be at any sort of disadvantage not having played EQ. This combat system is sooooo far removed from what EQ1 offered that I doubt anything in the way of knowledge/tactics will transfer over.

And I think that's a good thing!

More than any specific gameplay experience, I think the most important quality of a good tank will be siituational awareness. In a lot of other games any additional mobs were someone else's responsibility... it looks like in Vanguard the tank is really going to need to be on top of things in order to keep himself in the correct position to defend his companions, absorb damage intended for them, and disrupt enemy attacks.
