main reason we avoid that is bec of the useless feats, imho the only usefull feats there are plate agility and shield defense, that's it (maybe the shield talent feat can now be a bit useful bec of the guard buff). Whilst in conqueror the, only part where you might not like both feats is at the tier 1 level. If you really want to tank, you can maybe go conqueror, get the usual traits like the cruel cut, tactical superiority, wrathful warrior, take measure (this one sux but what choice have you?) then sacrifice encounter cooldown for plate agi and shield defense on the protector tree.

If you're going to do it, go STR/Dex as the deflection is better than the extra Con IMHO. Pick up the two armor class feats and the parry one as those don't have diminishing returns and the stats from gear come after them. That is whee most of your survivablity will come from: blocking and Parry. High AC is almost betterthan Defence in all cases, but you'll notice most GF is going to give you tons of defence anyways.

Still: DPS guardian = holding more threat. Even with the above i've mentioned Killing things = better tanking because a good offence is better than a good defense.

This is what I will be running after the patch change's, not getting into the DPS vs Non-DPS threat building because we all disagree on mechanic's when something comes into the game we actually test it on /happy (we need patchwork)

This is a full tank build with Max mitigation for you and your party, you will come last in damage but you can tank everything (tested on Mimic)

Weapon Enchant: Lifedrinker
Armour Enchant: Briartwine
Best Set: Stalwarts (Tier 1)
Pet: Acolyte of Kelevore

Offence Slots: Recovery
Defense Slots: Defense
Utility Slot's: Movement

Heroic Feats (note this is for Human so 3 extra point's)

3/3 Strength Focus
3/3 Toughness
1/3 Shielded Resurgence
5/5 Distracting Shield
3/3 Armour Specialization
3/3 Potent Challenge
5/5 Ubiquitous Shield

Paragon

5/5 Plate Agility
5/5 Shield Defence
5/5 Shield Master
5/5 Brawling Warrior
1/1 Iron Guard

5/5 Fight on
5/5 Daunting Challenge

Encounters

Enforced Threat
Frontline Rush
Knight's Valor (when working) Into the fray when not.

At will's

Cleave
Threatening Rush

Daily's

Supremacy of Steel
Threatening Rush

It works for me.

if you want a tank i suggest tactician its more usefull
i already tried protector it has lots of useless feats

human 3% def and 3additional feats

if you pick tactician your buffs will increase your pt damage and reduce mobs damage
for armor set i recommend t1 knight captain set it increases your pts damage and def and has high recovery stats

Why u wanna use a tier 1 set while u can get a cheap full t2 , AC stat is the the best stat for tanking a 14 ac armor and a 8 ac shield is ideal and its very cheap also.

trollgre · June 2013

what are the bonus of t2 set i tried searching item database but i think theyre still not out yet

for me the best set for gf tank is knight captain you tank while increasing your pt damage and def it also has high recovery so you can use enforced threat faster and use daily more often (vilains menace best daily for me and fighters recovery)

stalwart is for tank that wants damage
