Class: Guardian
Guardians are the most heavily armored and well drilled soldiers.
Capable of withstanding punishment like no other, they also have an array of deadly attacks that deal devastating damage.
Guardians aren't limited to melee weapons alone, however, as they can also use thrown weapons.
Higher-level guardians also gain the ability to use the deadly crossbow, for those who dare to try and attack at range.
Guardians are a Soldier - Main Tank with DPS.

Please Note:
These are just some suggestions that we have put together to give you an idea of what weapons, weapon buffs, augments, auras and unique sorcery items/spells that would work best for this class. It is up to you if your choose to use them.
Hyborian (+2 Strenght, +2 Vitality, +1 Guardian Trait)
Hyrkanian/Turanian (+8 Agility, +1 Guardian Trait)
Cold Embrace: +1 Templar Trait
However, you do not have to be one of these races or faction to be a Guardian, you can be any you wish.
More suited to tanking, not for dealing damage.
Tempest focuses on using a Polearm, where Juggernaut generally uses a 1HB/E and a Shield.
Level 10 Templar
Level 10 Barbarian
Level 5 Ranger
You can only earn 35 trait points, in total. So it is recommended that you lock the following trait lines, so you don't start accidently leveling them up:
Conqueror, Ranger, Barbarian, Guardian, Herald.
You can do this by going into your inventory screen, and clicking on the EEWA button/icon on the left of your hotbar. This will open up the EEWA menu screen.
Navigate to the traits section, and click the lock icon next to the traits you wish to lock. This will prevent you from leveling those traits and allow you to only level the ones your class will benefit from.
This is something only you are be able to do. If you chose not to lock any traits, you risk not earning enough exp to get the most out of the Guardian Class.
50+ Vitality, 50+ Agility, 30+ Strength, 30+ Grit.
By putting your points in these areas before the others, you will increase your stats faster, and higher then what you could as a default character with default attributes.
Great main tank class with enough damage be intimidating.
Cons:
Not great for soloing groups.
Each level has 5 tasks for you to complete, 4 hunting and gathering tasks, and a 5th task which is actually a test of skill within the NUGaming: Maze Training Dungeon.
You must complete all 5 tasks before you can progress to the next level of class training.
Each level is completed in a different biome.
