I have recently got a guide published by mmominds that i hope encourages more GF tanks to hit the scene. It is PuG friendly and has seen me through even Cragmire crypts legit from Quing up with randoms and not using mics!
Hey just started, was playing a GWF, but i really like the sword and shield classes, so i'm going to give the GF a go, just wanted to say Thank You for the guide.
I am saving up for upgrading my Portal Hound to blue, been a great companion. Quick companion gift procs is a plus. I notice though it does disappear of get stuck a lot in dungeons and I have to resummons him back lol and loves to fight directly under my feet and dies a ton. Thanks for the insight. Been a tremendous boost to team DPS Output with the added 3x personalized pieces for the additional defense stacked.

Fun thing about portal hound when upgraded to blue i think, is he teleports to enemies when not in range so no running.
Also dunno if i mentioned it in guide (man i need to reupdate it) but encounters (like ITF) when activated use all your current stats to scale buff and CD timer (defense recovery)
So for me this can be the differince starting combat
Early ITF 65% dmg bonus 10Second CD
Paused ITF for 2 bonding stacks 95% dmg bonus 8 second CD (next itf seemless)
I've actually changed to the Shield Maiden now. She also has a lunge attack, though it isnt quite as long distance as the Portal Hound, but has the advantage of an extra ring slot. If you use the Underdark gold rings you end up with a total of 9 defensive rune/enchant slots on her.
