>>It might change in 3.0, as for now being able to dodge an attack is infinitely better than trying to absorb it. No matter your guild, chain will always be less hindering than plate.

It is impossible to block/dodge every attack in 3.0. You can go out stark naked and still take the occasional hit - moreso when facing a boss. A boss might have a 75% chance to hit you for light hits. That means you die in 12 hits with leather, 15 in chain, 20 in brigandine or 30 in plate. Which do YOU want to be wearing?

Yes, we are trying to make the concept of a tank actually viable.
