Tanking advice.

[Omgbennlol]

Hey guys,
Started this game not too long ago, say... less than a week?
Anyways, I've been playing a bear tank (level 32 as of today)
and I have some questions to clarify.


1) Str over Dex
I realised that Str is pretty much the "primary stat" of a tank.
Not only does it increases dmg, it also boosts health.

Dex on the other hand, adds dodge and hit, which is crucial to tanking as well.
But my question is, how do i prioritize one over the other?
How do I know how much Str/Dex to add?
Would having more health be easier for the healer to heal you?

Been hearing stuff like "get enough Str to equip my gear and put the rest to Dex".
What is the rationale behind that is you guys don't mind explaining.


2) Tanking technique
Currently using the "Beckon-against-wall-then-move-forward-and-stomp" technique.
I realised that it is very effective if i can get them all into a corner.
However, places like swamps have very little walls to execute this move.

Any other tanking techniques that you guys know of?


Btw, correct me if I got my facts wrong and please advice accordingly.
Recommendations on anything (i.e tanking gear/weaps, leveling areas or tank style)
is greatly appreciated.

Hey Boulder, I'll post a list of the skills you will need to upgrade to be a great tanker. But most importantly, as a tanker, you are most powerful but you must respect other players, i hate it when other players Stomp when your attacking, it becomes frustrating, try to see to it from my point of view. Also, there are many experienced tanks out there, try asking them and look at their Build.

To be a true tanker that won't die you either want it all in str or dex until 100% hit then rest in str. This works well, especially with higher lvl bosses
