I'm having a hard time figuring out which of my skills I should take if I am doing the tank build. I know one of the stickies provides a link to the my site, but i don't know the international equivalents. I also know that by lvl 89 I can max them all. I would really love an overview of priority skills. Thank you for your time.

    Definite need:
    Flesh Realm
    ShapeShifting Intensity
    Beast King Inspiration
    Strength of Titan
    Axe and Hammer Mastery (Swimming Mastery)
    Sunder

    Maybe Needed:
    Frighten <- useful for fb bosses
    Alacrity <- used very often for mob's first mag attack

    Low Priority:
    Talk is cheap <- saves clerics from the pain of death if no BM


    --- Other Info
    1. Barb are tanks when they have > 6k hp and > 5k p.def.
    2. One round of TT set on high = big repair bills. 40k-60k
    3. Flesh Realm lvl 10 is needed to hold agro from archers/veno (9 can't hold archers at all but lvl 10 can, weird)
    4. lvl 80 u should have all these leveled to 80 with no problems.
    5. Do No level left side (for barb tanks) until these are lvl 10.

    -- good luck

    One comment from me:
    I think Talk is Cheap is also important because the most persons I know are attacking the monsters and tacking aggro.

    The problem is the most persons do not have very much defense and in case there are dying very fast. b:angry

    So thats my comment to this xD

    I hope you all understand my comment have some problems speaking english...
