Guardians wear heavy plate armor . I would highly
recommend investing in armor and / or doing your level 20 AQs. Your
damage mitigation will keep groups alive, so gear is key for this class!
Shields: while tanking, use a Tower Shield. Guardians are one of the
few classes that can wield the beast, so you'd best make use of the
ability. Shields both provide shielding (duh!) with completely
mitigates inbound damage, and allow for special combat moves like
shield bashing.
Weaponry: Guardians are masters of all the various types of weapons. I
highly recommend a 1-handed weapon (slashing type is probably the best
all-around type) and a shield. When you're taking a backseat role or
soloing, consider switching out to a 2H weapon for better DPS

Food: Player-crafted food
is best, and the best of the best is food which grant a little STR and
STA, like:
Drinks More power is
always welcome, and player-crafted drinks offer the best effects and
the longest duration. To be honest, I just use vendor drink most of the
time but feel free to investigate what's on the market if you've got
the coin!
Potions are a nice tool to have whether you are a soloer or a grouper and particularly needed if you are a raider.
Health regen and power postions are nice while soloing just in case you get a little in over your head and need that boost of stats to get through a fight.
Stats buffed up for named fights in difficult heroic encounters can give you a great edge. Potions that cure or resist stuns and stifles are an absolute must have for some encouters so if you've done the research on tough mobs and know that they have a nasty effect, prep ahead of time by grabbing the appropriate potions from the broker!
Have any suggestions??? I'm always
looking for new ideas for this guide, and if I include yours, you (of
course) get the credit. Email
your thoughts to me or
