Pure endurance. If you want to tank and only tank, do not get strength. Getting strength means you've committed yourself to dealing damage on some level. Going pure endurance means you just want to tank, and that sort of commitment is respectable.

Tanking simply means you keep all monster aggro on you, and only you. You're going to be tanking for a party of course, you should never tank for yourself (it's slow levelling). When a monster is attacking an ally, simply kick the aggression it has back to you with snearing kick. If there are too many monsters, use mock (AoE taunt) and that should force all aggro onto you. Doing this will make it easier for the cleric to heal you, and keep your DPSers out of harms way. The tanks job is to protect everyone, just like the clerics. If you don't do this, things can go bad. Tanks are pretty fun in the KQ. A level 25 fighter can take on a mob of 15 monsters and live without much harm done to him in the Mara KQ. It's a satisfying job, in my own opinion. I speak from experience.
