well, right off the bat i was upset...
[/q]Those classes fall under one of three categories Protective Fighter, Healer, Offensive Fighter, and Arcane casters.[q] the hell? its called counting people. thats 4 categories.

[/q]The Paladin of Vanguard is a servant of Righteousness, Truth and Light. These aspects are embodied by several of the gods in the Vanguard Pantheon, but it is not required of the Paladin to prescribe to a certain deity in order to gain his powers. Allegiance to a particular god will be a choice that the Paladin is free to make, but only when he is ready to take that step.

the hell? i saw it the first time.

overall a very poor article, it fails to mention that we already know that the inquisitor will most likely not be there during release, and their information is scattered. they introduce 4 groups/types of characters, then they only talk about one of them....i mean, seriously, who wrote this? >.<

Well it is obviously intended for an audience with little or no experience with MMO's. It stated information that has already been posted within our forums or the official forums. There is a lot of misleading information in there as well. They did indeed fail to mention that the Inquisitor is most likely not to make it for launch. The poster of this article may have did this on purpose to inform new people about the Inquisitor; or he missed out on all the drama that went on after the news that the Inquisitor wasn't going to make it for launch.

Very average and misleading imho.

I enjoyed the article personally. Sure, there are some typos and such... but I've made my fair share of those as well.

It didn't reveal any new information (and didn't include everything we currently know), but I think it was a good basic summary of what tanks do. Since that was the intention of the article, it hit the mark in my eyes.

I also like the fact that there is enough interest in the heavy fghters that people from sites that aren't specifically dedicated to them are writing about them. Tanks have never been the most flashy of the classes, and I'm glad to see a high level of interest about tanks in the community.

You know, thats a very good point - Tanking has never been the most glamourous or recognised of roles in a group, it's nice to see us getting some attention

Tanking is all about subtlty and especially in Vanguard (from all the writeups i've read) this was a little too general for my taste. I like to eat a little meat when I get thrown a bone.

Its like most posts i've read, trying to give us addicts of MMO more to read and in its own way, a little more info about tank classes in VG. I cant slam the post as they only know as much as we do at present regarding class info, which lets face it is thin on the ground 8)
