Vanguard
Vanguard is another good tank class, with several handy abilities for directing enemies’ focus toward you — and away from your mages and rogues.
Abilities:
War Cry is a taunting shout that boosts your guard (guard provides additional health and must be broken before you can take damage). The Call to Arms upgrade grants you an armor bonus.
Challenge taunts a targeted enemy and improves your guard, and its upgrade gives you bonus stamina regen for successfully hitting a target with Challenge.
Charging Bull slams into enemies, knocking them to the ground while increasing your guard. Its upgrade after charging costs no stamina.
Unbowed allows you to gain 10 percent guard per enemy surrounding you, and its upgrade stops you from being knocked off your feet.
Bodyguard is the final ability, and it allows you to accept a portion of the damage meant for your party mates. You can ignore some of the damage transferred with its upgrade.
