Full END mostly party from what i see

Well full end stand greater chance against surviving the barage of spells sent at them then a full str or some hybrid build. But yes full end can be killed by a mage but it takes longer. If you say otherwise well thats your oppinion I guess.
And I didn't say they CAN'T solo I said they have a more difficult time soloing. There experience comes from the party mostly. Cause I have had to solo from time to time myself. Not saying we can't do it just it takes work cause you dont hit as hard.

Oh well, fighter full str with full +9 stuff...i see no difference with a full end if it's about 250hp less (at lv 50-55) or block rate =D.

But seriously, i had switched from full end to full str yesterday, the difference of def isn't that much, strange =/; I receive between 10-20 more dmg from mobs, like orc hunter, mush or navars.

The "free stat" End "def" is not added into the def on your screen. Instead its the amount of dmg that will be taken away from initial dmg taken. Example.... a mob hits a normal person with no free stat in end for 100 dmg. Then hits another person with 50 end, which will result in 25 less dmg without including the def added on by armor and/or gear.
And dont underestimate the blockrate... by all means dont underestimate it lol. It helps a ton when fighting mobs that hit you for 400+ dmg. You block a few of those and it saves your life.
Also in pvp no stone fights I have won many of battles cause of block rate. They would miss devastate and/or their most powerful attacks (precise attack and power hit). And end up losing.

You said they can be killed just as fast as any build, just takes longer... How does that make any since?

Usually full end tanks can't hold my aggro at all. When I was lvl 50ish I can pull aggro off a 60+ tank in about 5sec or less. When I hit 60 don't even talk about it, aoe = bloody massacre for me. :/ Only 2 tanks have hold my aggro so far and one of them have charms/extenders/full str build the other one have full +9 set and lvl 70+

Well in my experience there are only a few mages who I have had trouble with and that was when I was in my early 60's tanking for lvl 67+ pure int mages. But as my skills got stronger and as i perfected my timing for each particular situation there was very few or no casualties. And usually the few were by the mage attacking before I even got the mobs together.

Also your armor has nothing to do with how well you hold aggro. It depends on how much damge you do or the timing of your skills. Which Pure end have to depend mainly on the second one.

So very true.

Although the last factor is how fast you kill in an AOE.

If the mages cant kill fast enough, then there are bound to be some dead mages when they are hitting things the tanker isn't.
