tanking fighter

Empower all your AoE spells. Nothing else. AoE taunt cooldown to maximise your mob control. AoE stun cooldown to maximise your tanking. AoE damage debuff power to maximise your tanking as well. Afterwards I suggest you extending their effect durations through empowerments as well. Any single target skills aren't worth empowering for a tank.

not sure if its well known or not, i just found out that we can also add points to this skill's 'power', making it reducing the dmg even futhurer

like it will reduce the dmg of the surrounding monsters by 70 instead of 60 points (made up numbers)

Pure end nothing else

Str AND end are both useless stats atm unless u go full with them.

Actually IMO STR isn just plan worthless damagewise even with full STr.

If you want to tank Go full End
If you want to go a little hybird i recommend getting 25 spr and the rest in end. With atleast +6% crit sword.

and adding the 25spr would be helpful if you plan to pvp in the future. fighters have HORRIBLE mdef and mages absolutely dominate them.

I was wondering since eventually I will be having to tank monster with magic... so should I get that 25 SPR? Or just depend on rings?

KY_Jelly · 09-12-2007, 09:08 AM

its really up to you. I'd do it because i'm a sucker for crits.

+Tequila+ · 09-12-2007, 11:44 AM

Spr really has no place on a fighter whos built for tanking for two reasons...A:It wont really help your MDef B:Crits arent really that important to a tanker.

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.
