If you see one Stira wipeing a group or a raid Its me
One of the guard advantages is their Tier gear is actually useful. T2 is basically T3 without protection, so a full T2 guard can tank most encounters.
From K6 gear, LL hate/str is usually the best. Get as much as you can of LL armor, except get the Wolf boots. Most of the other Wolf gear is fail.
For the protection set, if i rolled a new soldier, i would go for the xiba set, since it's a good excuse to go run Xiba, the set looks awesome, and, well, it's free.
As guard, you can also just get the base crafted blue plate with white gem slots and you're set. It's cheap and quick.
For a more expensive but just as quick approach, you can get the acheronian (or stoneheart) main pieces with stoneheart shoulders and warmaster gloves, completed with the blue steel wrists and boots.
All in all, the LL protection set is a bit too expensive for its purpose. You would use it only marginally and you can have same results with much cheaper and better looking gear.
Unless you're running with DT's or Conqs who don't know how to keep aggro off themselves... I actually prefer the con and general feel of the wolves set. Like many people have said +hate is generally overrated.
