With that said, your skill point distribution makes a pretty well rounded bear. I prefer to be a full tank or dps build.
I see what you're saying. My usage of the word "tank" to describe my setup is actually a bit misleading. It's more of a mix between that, and Berserk. Enough points invested in skills that allow proper herding, and few in skills that allow me to contribute some damage(bosses and such). I'll be sure to try out your build, thanks for the suggestion.
