Defensive capabilities are noticeably weaker compared to the Champion. The Guardian's defense is limited to physical resistance and damage redirection, which is insufficient. Giving enemies a +2 bonus to AB、DC the TAUNT is excessive and unbalanced. The sacrifices made in terms of AB do not seem to be worth it. The cost of the ARMOR BREAK feat is too high for the minimal benefits it provides. The Guardian's support abilities for shields are inferior to those of the Champion.
