I do not understand the way of the tank....

So i've been playing on my warrior for a bit now and got him to level 99, ive tried many builds with my stats for example everything into vit except some to equip my weapons.. And i never get agro, whenever i'm with a mage or a rogue who does tonns of damage they always die quickly and i am unable to take the agro due to my low damage.
So what do you do as a tank? what stats and what items.
I want to be a tank but it is very confusing.

You need to max out the skill taunt

not good to be full/semi-full tank when youre lvl 99

but if you really want aggro youre supposed to use taunt and/or warcry

better lvl up. tank is only usefull at 150 (for ow bosses - if u are in a lower clan) or 180+ for dl bosses (if u are in a good clan). so better wait cuz its hard to lvl a tank and at 99 you cant use the good tank stuff (bastion shield, aggy/hrung braces and rings, frozen or dl etc.)

just dont be a tank at ur lvl, i gotta say that rogue has very high aggro rise, this is why they got distract, even with full dps skills its still tough to take aggro, even when i lvl with rogues and outdps them, i still dont get aggro so often, but as for mages, as long as i outdps them i get the aggro

OP - as lots have said, level some and also use taunt. I would go with a mix of vit and str until you are about 120+. You don't really need to be a tank at your level at mo. Most of the serious bosses will smack you too quickly - even with a good healer. Level level level (oh and good luck)

I'm 124, I don't max taunt and I get aggro fine off 130 rogues as long as I use my primary DPS skills.(11/30). I have high vitality, taunt improves with vitality
