Help Creating a Tank with Full Meteoric then Reset

Hi all,

Can you help me build up my Tank's stats to where I can get full Meteoric Melee, then reset my stats? I will accept strategies from any Tank on any world, although I'd prefer strategies from Lugh and Gwydion, but I'll look over other worlds' tanks' strategies. Thanks!

It sounds like your having a tank build problem. Unless you reset for dps after, don't change because that means you have a good build.

Anyway, from my experience, a ratio of 3:7 for dex to vit works well for most bosses. However, these new bosses spam skills, so this is what I think is good... 5str 5fcs 1:3 dex:vit

Okay, because I was planning on keeping Str/Dex/Vit high for full Meteoric, and using Crown Shield and Heroic for Energy, then resetting and using Dex/Vit for when I have full Meteoric Melee + Meteoric Sword. But the tank-building's not the problem, it's the stats after full Meteoric Melee that I'm having the problem with, even though I'm thinking I'll use mostly Vit/Dex once I hit full Meteoric.



Thanks!

Simple. Compare the difference in deffence, divide it by 2, and put extra stats into str.
Example: with the new gear, your deffence goes up by 60. After restatting, you will have 30 less dex and 30 more str.

With this, you will have the same tank stats before the meteoric, except more str and elemental resist. Attack will suffer From this, but not by much.

I'm a tank from Gwydion lol.

My stats are 5/10/5/430

Most people on here just beef up on Vit, much like i did, sans the 5 extra dex, which I have just to experiment with.
Dex imo doesn't really help much at all, or at least isn't nearly as effective as beefing up your vit as a tank.

Hope this helps.

I would rather block a few times than endure just one more hit

I am writing as if it's a matter of surviving the longest rather than tanking the whole thing because if the Druid heals more than you are hit, it really doesn't matter.

Tank build boils down to your druid situation. Have 4+ at all times? Max vit. Otherwise dex helps lots on most bosses because you'll be using potions to heal.
That's really about what it boils down to. With enough Druids even low level ones you can out heal damage and thus win the fight.
Sure you can exploit shivercowl with rangers and other things here on other bosses there but that has no bearing on tank build.
I miss the days 1 group was all you really needed for any fight. Current mechanics make either an abundance of Druids or potions pretty much needed.
