Ive been tanking for a long time now and im a good tank in my clan. Heres my Tanks set up

Strength: 40
Dexterity: 5
Focus: 10
Vitality: 405

If i do boss fights with no druids and i still need to level up, Is this a good set up for a level 88 warrior?

Very great set up, but i think you might want more strength so you don't get ks easily :D but really good health will last you way longer in boss runs!
mine are: 134,7,5,314 not sure about the health forgot but it is 300+ i have 2340 health :)

DEX DEX DEX
The only reason you survive is because of your Druids. If your dex is high enough to dodge attacks, then you don't have to worry about the Druid being able to heal you as much. As long as your being healed more than your being damaged, health can be as low as 1500. So to answer your question, I would say no. You don't dodge or block enough to solo well.

Even with a Druid, one miss can lead to full replenishment, so add more dexterity reguardless.

Hope this helped, good luck.

When i have tried Dex it has never worked for me SB, and too be honest if you are getting the astral armour now, that has defense bonuses incorporated, so focus on vitality; 5,5,5, rest, although if KS does occur on your server add a bit of strength on there to prevent it happening to you. I'm mixed and can tank and hit hard; 125, 5, 5, rest and my hp are around 3k and i dodge some boss hit too..

If you dodge with astral, then you will dodge a lot more with dex. If you don't like dex, that's fine. What I find is that if you play long enough with dex, you won't notice how useful it is until it's back to 5.
I put full strength for a while once. I hit hard, but I missed a lot compared to the times I had dex. Missing may not be a big deal but the dodging and blocking is very handy.

Personaly, I think 3k health is a bit much in any situation:
-soloing a harbinger with a few pots. Less pots are used if you dodge
-tanking a boss that hits 200's fast with a Druid that heals 500. You are losing more health than you are being healed, so dodging can potentially buy you enough time to refill your health.
-your role is to attack a boss. Miss, miss, miss, miss? Or Hit, miss, hit, hit?

Dont stat yourself with all or almost all vitality until your 90+ (higer the lvl the better).

Dont even try tanking until at least lvl 90, especially the meteor bosses.

And last, remove your focus man its a waste of points -__-

Just so everyone knows, the default Warrior stats now are 5, 5, 10, 10. If someone makes a new character or uses a Book of Rebirth, they cannot have 5 Focus. This actually goes for all character classes. The only people who still have 5 Focus are those who had 5 Focus before the patch which changed this and who have not used a Book of Rebirth since that patch. The patch which changed this occurred sometime after the big Update 3 and was an actual patch. Most people had 5 extra stat points upon logging in and thought that they forgot to put them up after a level, but no, it was 5 extra stat points for all character.
