What is the perfect Tanker?
 

Just wondering ?
What would be the perfect Tanker stats?

I was thinking maybe:
- 25 SPR
- 50 END
- Rest STR

?? Could that work.

Sounds like my cleric build XD


But I'm sorry I don't have an answer :angel: I've never played a Fighter.

Well if you like crits go with that but , pure tankers are Full END

Build is unimportant - the best tankers I have found are the ones that combine the proper weapons (1 hand and shield) with an understanding of what they are trying to accomplish, while not pissing off their support party members by running off to attack everything in their path just because they are the tank. Of course, being heavily CS'd can make up for a lot of stupidity..... :laugh:

thatwas my strategy, cs it up. of course i was a stupid archer that liked ot tank MD not a stupid fighter.

ROTFL, and by now I bet Hessah is trying to tank Gordon Master with her mage.... :laugh::laugh::laugh:

hmm a good tank, is someone who can use mock accordingly.

full end fighters are best tankers

Ah ray, but my fighter was str/spr and I could tank huge mobs in DoA with a 2h at lvl 49 ;)

yes mikey but! u and i both no u no how to use all classes on fiesta
and u got the gears that make it so nothing hits u rly and ur just
godly end of story =D

HAHAHAH!!!!

With no shield, and no END built, just lots of INTELLIGENCE.. I'm awesome like that xD

A "Perfect" tanker would be full END. If all you wanna do is tank. Having SPR and STR is trying to make a fighter more hybrid so they can do a bit of dmg too.

TBH a shield, some END based gear, and the highest Tier scroll your character could put on, would give you a good base built for tanking.

Once you don't get 1HKO like most "tankers" do nowadays, you will need good skills in keeping aggro, and not to rely 100% on a cleric to keep you alive (meaning to watch your own HP and bring pots and stones).

And as mentioned before, KNOW YOUR LIMIT! I hate it when a tanker runs in a whole heap of mobs yelling "I'M TANKING!!" then dies in 2 sec and yell "WHERE'S MY CLERIC?!"

lol maybe that's just me, but a lot of people do that in the honeying KQ...

A complete tanker is only END, but if you wanted a little bit of damage, do 50 STR and rest END. (In my opinion) :P

My fav part of kqs is tanking. So I am a full end with a shield. I don't even need to use a scroll and I hate str build fighters cuz I'm a cleric and we need to spam heal them unless they are scrolled. And I was a lev 22 in goldhill with no scroll or buff. A lev 30 fighter got pwned, I was tanking without a sweat... The lev 30 was an axe full str build with buff...

I would say +5 SPR +15 DEX Rest END.

In theory the perfect tanker is a character that can take A LOT of hits without dieing or being spam healed. They also need to be abble to keep agro and if they lose agro, they need to be able to get it back asap. My personal experience with tanking is this: I have all +9 armor, a +9 sword and shield, and I'm looking for a +10 axe. My skill empowerment is: CD on Mock, CD, dmg, durration of Devastate, CD on WW, and dmg on Slice and Dice. My build is: +50 END, +25 SPR, +10 STR, +10 DEX. I'm currently alternating with DEX and STR.

necro o-o

that's uber hybrid D:

I think that best build is 25 spr rest end:eex(1:1)

It's not so much the build but your skill as a tanker.

The build stated by the OP is pretty standard. After 50 pts in END it's just like the 25 SPR, the bonus is negligible. Unless you know you'll always have a leveling partner a full END build will level rather slowly. So best to invest in STR after 50 points and by then you'll appreciate the extra damage even if you are forced to solo.

Of course, always carry 1h+shield and an axe.

Half-assed DEX is pointless and spreading your stats out is inefficient. If you find your aim to be crap then find DEX gear and use aim scrolls.

After that you need to learn to tab through mobs and use Snearing Kick. Once you get Deva then you can alternate. As a tanker your job is keeping aggro, not damage. That's what the Mages and Archers are for.

full end ftw!

My 7x tankers build seems to work great for me. Im 10 spr/rest end with High END items. The spr gave me a little bonus to my crit and just enough magic def to not get 1 hit k0ed in MD by his AOE. It is mostly all up to what you feel is working.

The perfect tanker is full end one's with +9 stuff but you can't damage like full str one's but for the cristal castle it's perferct when you are 61-69 you can do it in a week if you are a full end tank but you also need sets and end stuff if you allow me i will put screen on my 75 fighter and his stuff



Yours Dersf from cypian :3

full end and full blues... like meh

Well, let's say you are full end but dont reaaally have nice gears, you wouldn't really be good. So if your pure end you need the coresponding gear that goes with your build. in that case you would need high end/dex/str.

rings with good end and +9 gears with those stats would be awsome too

I think the most awesome tank should actually be a 25spr, 50 dex rest str.

Why? NO END wtf? Yes. You can get a lot of END from gear, and I really think the aggro effect from the extra damage outweighs the 5% block you get for spending 50 stat points. Besides fighters have enough base END anyway. Really END builds are for AOE parties only.
Of course scrolls and +9 is necessary, but if you are willing to spend golds, DD fighter ftw.

Yeah. I've gotta agree, +9 are obviously necessary. If you keep looking you would find gears with really high end. If you want to make a good fighter you've definitely have to spend LOTS of money:zomg:

i think the best build a perfect tanker would be
25spr
50dex
50end

where u can make use of eva and block rate to the max.rather then relying on 1 def style.

Don't listen to them
 

I've had tremendous success with 50 END, 25 SPR, then some DEX. I don't even need a cleric most of the time. STR is ok but you need to be able to hit wht you're fighting. i usually fight mobs 10+ levels higher than me.
