Yes, but he asked about tanking, so I told him about tanking. If he wanted Hybrid info, I'd give him Hybrid info. You've already told him that, so there would be no need to tell him now anyway.

Well there is such thing as a hybird tank/damage dealer no?

Just giving him the details that if hes willing to forsake a little health he'll still be able to tank bosses and mobs and dramatically increase his DPS>

Woah, woah, woah! You completely omitted the increased block rate! That's not fair at all! 25 stat points in to endurance also gives 2.5% block, which isn't that useless. Though it wouldn't matter much in the long run where you put those 25 stats. 5% crit or 2.5% block aren't groundbreaking stats. They're not going to make you go "woah, this fighters fantastic." Everything ends up the same in the upper levels, regardless of what stats you used. Someone could go pure int on their fighter, and still be capable of tanking on equal grounds with a full endurance fighter at level 80 in my humble opinion. They'd both probably have more than seven thousand HP, and almost equal defense.

I am going with a 6:1 END:STR ratio. It will be interesting to see how it works out.

I'm currently creating a END/SPR build, I have the benefits of HP/DEF and now I can get also a MGC DEF/SP/Crit %+ bonus. I find that it's pretty useful than going Pure END build. Besides, there's that point in the game where we'll fight a powerful monster that uses magical attacks. Plus I like that I have more SP so I'm able to use more skills without using up a SP Stone/Potion.

In hindsight that is most likely the best. That SPR:END ratio do you plan on using?

I'm testing it at the moment but I'll try a END 2 : SPR 1, I need to fix up my stats at the moment.

I'm currently going pure end 1H fighter. I'm taking the role of meat shield and basically going off the deep end with it. I already have 580 HP at level 15 and a gigantic stock of vit scrolls and hp potions.

i figure later in the game when i have to tank magic monsters, even with my shitty mdef, I will still do okay just with my ginormous amount of HP. So even if a monster can out damage pots+stones+clerics, i doubt it will be able to outdamage it long enough to kill me before it dies.
