I'm pretty sure necros and demos can't use swords.

Yeah I had a reaction reading "isn't a spellcasting weakling" too. Funny way to put it when you consider the reality of things in certain scenarios
Good thread, but Please change the wording "healers" to "priests". Priest is way better word to use. We have no healbots in AoC!
good mages double tap forwards from time to time to stun
i also find staggering rate high with daggers

If "all soldiers are equal for tanking" as per the OP, and guards can only be tanks, while both the Conqs and DTs can double up as DPS (with DTs also good for magic-based DPS), then that seems to leave the Guardians at a severe disadvantage: there's nothing they can do that others can't (since "all are equal at tanking") yet the other soldier classes have other uses - DPS / magic DPS - therefore will be more desirable in a 6-man or raid.
What's a Guard for then? It seems they drew the shortest stick in the class lottery.
Well, for starters guards are manly men who wear skirts.
Also, other soldier classes have other drawbacks: DT's gear dependence is just insane, and their survivability is not on par with other tanks in encounters where they cannot constantly whack something (since they largely rely on life taps). And conqs... well thinking about it, conqs don't rely have any drawbacks - except boring gameplay
