Owning a class =/= playing it. For example, I never see you on your 56 pally or your 51 platinum talon bird. Nor do I see your 80 mage to back up all of your "mage knowledge".
Ah, so the rules of scoring change depending on what you're playing, makes sense.
Tank mage at 80 means pure nuke mage, considering Magor has 40 something dodge. Tanking and nuking go hand in hand, please understand that.
But you said earlier having high armor is equivalent to high dodge, which is the most important stat. If that's the case then who needs damage or heal capabilities?
Chin, you would get absolutely destroyed with that build lol.
You haven't yet addressed the reply I left you, I'd like your opinion on it please. My initial suggestion is still better than your suggestion in terms of tanking, and my other suggestion is the best of all if you choose to kite.

Also, I'm starting to think including nightmare is more beneficial even for tanking, as it gives your hit/dmg debuffs a higher chance of hitting.
I often ask myself, why am I so attractive?
Because he's saying it could be a viable option if you're trying to be "tankiest"; by using weakness, you reduce damage of opponents to minimize damage you and others receive.
Still, though, he doesn't understand an "effective" tank in PL would not use this build, that 9 weakness is just dumb and that you're better off tanking with 9 nightmare. But what do I know, I just twink on my bear, I don't even play end game.
I've thought about it more, this is it. This is as good as tanking gets. (If you're kiting like you say)

Weakness > BoM, you need your debuffs to hit, losing a few damage on your drain isn't as significant as reducing the opponents dodge slightly so you can land a few more debuffs. If you have a logical refutation to this then please provide it. I really want to see how you think your initial build is better than this one. Remember, this is tanking, BoM is purely offense and doesn't help tanking at all (besides the slight boost to your drain which will heal you more, but debuffs are way more important than that).

My mage ceased being a paladin a while ago, it was changed about a month ago to Pure Dex. I've played Pure Dex, Str/Dex, Str/Int, Pure Int, and Half Int/Dex Mage. You speak as if I've never tested or tried different things which is quite odd, since you do not know me nor ever played me except in Endgame(Which is the only thing you do as you told me?).
You're not of my concern. My corcern is providing the OP with a competent build that fits his liking. Pure STR will never be the same as Pure DEX, so I found it astounding how you argue it to be. I've played endgame for quite a while, so I believe my advice is irrefutable, you've yet to provide concrete reasoning. In fact, out of all of you, Xyzther is the one giving me the most noteworthy replies.
