My character as of now

[ShadowGunX]

u all should get glowstone hoop of warfare(dmg) or
glowstone hoop of fitness(armour)
nd glowstone necklace of warfare or fitness
bt i prefer ring to b warfare nd necklace to b fitness.
these r lvl20 pinks.
u may also use ensorcerolled band lvl21 ring

[Reggin]

Ken... not sure what you ran or how you used the build, but playing it aggressively won't hold aggro. Friend me in game and I'll show you how to use it at lunch. Nice stats on the level 21 stuff lol...

Without Nexus




With Nexus



Using the same gears but Lv21 versions and using the same skill rotations, the elite tank build failed to pull aggro when i done with my guildmates.

Lol i have those gears but i'm following Reggin's one since damage is not important (taunt skills triggering) in this case for his build.

if i could make a suggestion take a look at this.....


skills are alittle off of uggs but i feel like i could tank just as well ;D gonna test it in amin to find out. just look at stats gear wise tho well worth any investment as for pet it adds no actual str dex or int..

Ambrose, can you post what gear you are using? I've been looking for a decent tank gear build and can't seem to get answers on ideal gear, regardless of price. You seem to have a happy medium with a relatively low drop in DPS for the good armor, health, intelligence, and dodge

Also, for being only 20, those are nice stats. Would you know the level 21 equivalents?

Thanks for the help.

DPS Gear

While I'm at it, Ashanto, can you post your gear as well? If you say your survivability with those stats are good, then a higher DPS would be better for threat output. However, how manageable would you say the mana situation is?

[Goria]

So that's the tank I'm playing with. Not the best, I know, but i wanted to show you my warrior.
Mana might be low, but it's not that tragic.

[Reggin]

Like those stats goria... I've actually been considering using esteban myself due to that awesome dodge boost... only thing is it will make me extremely mana pot dependent with no vengeful.

I just hope they fix taunts in a future update. The lag factor and massively inferior dps of warriors is actually quite annoying.

In fairness, I don't like using my own four taunt build, I'm just forced to if I want to maintain aggro. I'd love to be able to get away with 3 taunts and allow either vengeful to make other pets viable or war horn for the awesome defensive boosts.

However, I will say that it does hold aggro better than any other build when it comes to playing with rogues and mages. People who are having trouble holding aggro with it just aren't timing things right.

My stats are much lower than a lot of guys who posted here, but people who know me and have ran with me will attest to the fact that I'm an aggro holding machine.

It does require a party though, as a tank build is quite possibly the worst possible solo character possible.

Yeah, I see, and your thoughts are very right, I find mine in it. Lol
Actually, I believe you that you can tank very good, you made some sick guide in this forum.
Hope they make "being" a tank quite better. (game mechanics, etc...) You know what I mean.

And after experimenting, I found my new armor. Actually it's quite cheap, because it's not a "dps arm".


Dodge is quite higher since than my other arm set, less hp, less armor but I think it fits my style, playing as a tank, very good.

[Reggin]

Wow... 17% dodge... wtf... that with buff?

[Goria]

No buff.

I'll post my equipment later, with the pet's buff, Dodge would be like 18.7 %, since it gives me and my allies in range 15 Dex, Str and Int for, I think, 6 seconds.

I am now testing my new tanking build that rely on Rally Cry for greater dodging while maintaining aggro.
Most likely to learn Agility as passive skill.


Total potential dodge rate:
23.86% from gears + 25dex passive + 25% dodge from Rally Cry
= 48.86%% + 25dex passive.



Below are two of the gears setup before adding Agility.

Ideal Gear setup ignoring health if build tested to work:





My current setup with some Str gears:

[Kenoon]

** It seems that the 50% buff bonus from Rally Cry does not boost up the 25% dodge rate on character screen.
I tried several times but unfortunately it doesn't work.
Not sure if this is a bug though or maybe it just affect the initial skill effect which is the dmg reduction.




Ok this is a pic of my warrior after respec to full dex.
Dodge rate i managed to hit 54.51% and i get hit at lesser rate.
Apparently, it isn't that amazing due to low health.





And thus, i went back to Full str stats and Might passive this time round.


This is with buff and dex accessories:



This is with buff and high str low dex and dodge accessories:




Conclusion:
The mobs nearby Jarl no longer hit me that frequently and i can don't pot as though i'm at Lv16.
The downside for using this dodge pet is that we have no mana regen and thus rely on mana pot.
A swap on pet would solve this issue.

Skills i used:
Chest Splitter with interrupt skill
Axe Throw with all skills including stun
Rally Cry all skills except the 4th which increases movement speed
Horn of Renew all skills except for the increase range.
5 skill points to Might Passive.
All stat points are added to Str. Dex isn't really that feasible in this case.

I think around 50 plats.
Tried to skip CS with Jugg but threat lose out much faster so i gave up on Jugg.

[Reggin]

I got tired of tanking and since I capped decided to go with damage gear and spec. Using pure damage skills (ss, cs, wm, vb) and focusing on highest damage (not dps since damage drives skills). Here's my stats like this...
