How many of you, when you first saw Darth Baras, instantly thought "BEEFCAKE!!"?

Thanks for all of the advice!!! I will finish off my companion characters on my main soon. I have decided on Cybertech to aid in my gear. I assume with Vigilance that you should go more strength than endurance. Or should I try to balance it out? Also focus or shield? If vigilence is the best build what numbers are you looking at? Are there any specific things in defense or focus I should pick up as well?

I am a casual player that has chosen to roll a Guardian as my next character. I have been reading the forums for some time now and there is very little information for a player of my type. I am a solo player that has little interest in PVP and even less interest in end game content. I love the story and the leveling process. That being said, I am looking for the best (strongest, most fun, quickest, etc.) build or builds for leveling my guardian. As of now I am focusing on the Defense build, but I was looking at the possibility of switching to a more DPS style.
