Also for race, my guardian is a human. Human has a racial trait "diplomacy" which is an AoE (up to 5 targets) soothe spell. Some may argue...other classes get more strength or whatever other stat or I coulda choose better stats for racial traits for my human to help tanking, but if this plays out like EQ1, once you start getting good gear, any kinda stat bonus is pointless as all races will have gear that far exceeds your max anyway, but in the end being able to trick pull a few mobs that your group can handle versus the whole room that will wipe you is gold. Note, I haven't actually used this ability much yet, so am speaking from what others said in chat channels. All my other classes are gnomes. Gnomes are small naturally, so they don't obstruct my human guardians view and easier to move around in tight areas, also they can change into being a rotary flying robot thingy which I think is appropriate for a boxer
