    Default New tank seeking advice.

    Hello all,

    I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction skills wise for a low level bear who plans on only tanking PvE. I am after a general skills set and which skills I should focus, on first. So far I have figured out that Rage is fairily important but that's about it.

    Thank you.

    Edit - Spelling.

    Rage- adds up to 30 crit (lvl 6) abd gives you an incredible damage advantage
    Stomp-good 8m range and push sometimes stun effect, at lvl 3 it gets 8m range extra lvls add damage and at lvl 4 escapes ice/root
    Taunt- great for stacking dodge, attracting enemys attention. At lvl 6 will give you basically permanent boost of 14 dodge if you use every 6 seconds (cooldown rate).
    Hellscream-decreases damage of enemies done by 65 at lvl 6 and has stun affect which stops movement for couple seconds
    Slashes-good for extra damage, crippling holds enemy in place for 5 sec.

    Those are mostly low level skills so at lvl 16 try and have at least 6 rage, 3 stomp and like 4 hell scream and 1 in each slash

    Later on get beckon, run into cornere use beckon step away use stomp and hell scream. Works really good for tanking

    Effective at low levels would be going bow or talon bear because this gives you the extra hit% that bears miss and gives really high damage. And as you progress try and keep half your skill points in dex and half in str

    as a bear stick to the back of the party and avoid taking damage as it risks death
    let your teammates kill the enemies because you still get xp and gold
    use only int as it makes you smart (smart people dont fight)
    or you can listen to meaningtree or someone that has a bear higher than level 6

    The best! MrWallace was one of the nicest, most humble players in the game. Very knowledgeable. He cleared up so many things for me when I started out. Need more players like bim.

    I'd say, get some armor with plat (Preferably ones with effects), so you let people know your a tank. Make sure to get a tough weapon too. You can check out my character if you want a good idea; ingame name: cpsnoopdog.

    Don't worry, you won't need any skill as a bear.
