Im a level 34 Jedi Guardian and find I can do a competent job of being a Tank, especially with two of my taunt abilities that manage to keep attention on me. I'd recommend a Jedi Guardian.

Could you please post a pic and the name of the pieces of your similar looking Jedi kit ? Might try my luck on the GTN once I have the name.

I remember playing KOTOR and being ticked off because I didnt start with a light saber...but then when I got it...a pretty cool sense of video game achievement. Same sense of accomplicing something in SWTOR. Enjoy the story and soon enough you'll be hitting the z key to randomly flourish your light saber in front of the other Padawans on Tython who are trying to earn one
