QFT I did it at level 11 for the first time on my Vanguard, and I had no taunt, no defensive cooldowns, no threat multiplier, no significant advantage in total endurance over my DPS friend and very little passive damage avoidance/mitigation. It is a good thing you do not need a tank because at that level Vanguards are not tanks yet!

This is not true, everyone knows that the real reason the war ended was because the Republic Senate sent the Jedi on a successful quest to cut down the largest tree on Endor with a herring!

I have run the Esseles several times in Early Access. Tips: Off tank the strongest enemy while the weaker enemies are focus fired or aoe'd down if they are very weak. Use the explosive canisters if possible - easy XP. Most of the DPS companions can off tank quite well, except on bosses. I did find that in some cases the companions would bug and either not attack, or if you are in a group conversation or between different levels, unsummon themselves. You do NOT need a dedicated healer, but if one of the DPS classes who has a heal spell is ready if the boss tank needs a heal then with a bit of coordination with the tanks consumables it is easily 2 manned.
