Haven't played this for a while but I'm going to pick it up again shortly with a couple of friends. We're all going to start new characters. They're probably going to be a thief and an elementalist. I was thinking that warrior might be a good class to support their choices. I tried guardian very briefly but it seemed a little dull. Does it pick up at all?

Would a group with thief/elementalist/mesmer work? Would we not need something a bit tankish?
With two squishies yes, a meat shield/heavy is preferable. I.e. the Guardian.
It's by no means a hrad and fast rule though, just preferable in some sitautions. In PVE you won't have any problems with 2-3 light/medium armour classes. In some dungeons and Fractals you will find it easier with a heavy at some points.
I run a condition mesmer as my main with lots of toughness. Makes me far more durable. I cope pretty well in dungeons, even with light armour.
