Energy Sigils: 1


Skills:

Protective Stance: 13/25 Yes I know it should be higher for a tank build I do realize my mistake.
Defensive Formation: 7/25
Enduring Guard: 6/25 I've been considering not using this anymore.
Rupture: 23/25
Giant Swing: 23/25 (20/25)

Bandage Wounds: 9/25

Meditate: 7/25


Equipment:

Armor: Bloodstrike

I suggest you stay off tank build unless you can have an insane amount of gold (tens of millions) to fund the lux and gear.

If you decide to stay, you won't be able to level without partners.

Let me know if you still decide to be a tank and I'll give you a guide.

Can I ask why, as at 101 there's nothing to tank? I had a tank at 105 I started leveling on quests in arawn for tanking frozen and dl bosses for a small clan, but that wasn't a main...
Anyway I'll write your guide when I get a chance,I'm walking through Chicago atm

I am going to level up to a much higher level, I just want to start tanking early on.

Take my word on it when I say that's a terrible idea.

Just spend 15k on alt and reb books at 220. Before 220 it's honestly not worth it to go full tank, maybe 200 if you're clan doesn't do gele often

Take my word on it, leveling will be hellish and extremely expensive full tank as you have literally 0 dps skills.

Alright, well what do you suggest? Like a DPS/Tank build? Or just complete DPS?

Hybrid is best.
Use this stat build- 2:3 vit:str per level

For gear,
Get astral asap. Use either astral or level 100 shop sword.
Offhand get either a golden blade or a level 100 axe.

Skills-
Max pummel
Max frenzy
Max shatter
Double attack 10 levels above you
Get defensive formation up to level 5-10
Extras in giant swing

With this build my level 80 managed to get 1k damage and attack with minimal lux (basically you can kill any mob in 2-3 hits)

Thanks man, I really appreciate it. I am going to try this ASAP. However I do have some questions, what about Dexterity? Do abilities compensate for the lack of Dexterity? Also, I have been saving up for the 375k Amulet in the Carrowmore Lux shop, should I just get the golden blade instead? Should I get Fire or Ice?

Dexterity only adds attack and defense.
The usage of frenzy combined with the strength not being used in dexterity will counteract the missing dex and actually get you MORE attack and damage.
Also the usage of defensive formation is a great feat to make up for the missing defense.

Abilities do also in fact counteract the dex loss further

Do not buy that ammy. Get the golden blade of MAGIC and also in the low level lux vendor get a energy regen amulet. Eng regen between 10 and 20 per tick is more than enough up until level 180, and health regen doesn't do much past level 30 anyway so it doesn't matter
