I'm posting this for kicks... so.... anyway's I'd make a table for builds that dai recommended in his guide later, I hope my allocation table related to dai's sticky's

So the ultimate tank plan.... in endgame LVLs...

Appropriate build, Appropriate gears, Appropriate skills / genie skills. I'll post them up

VIT > STR > DEX > MAG... GG
HA > LA > AR... GG

HA + VIT = win b:bye

    ok... Its a good idea for min on gears, rest into VIT... for armors that is... It can be that much but you can get your hands on the latest equips and the build is min STR and DEX requirements on -req equips. In endgame, we can get for like -30% equip requirement for armors and to 50 % on weapon (looked in database) So we can follow the min STR/DEX requirements on -requirement equips. It is a plan, all that it needs is experimenting

    It is going to be this way to build... 3 STR, 2 VIT on even LVL, then 2 STR, 1 DEX, 2 VIT on odd LVL. stop adding STR/DEX at a certain point and raise them by a fraction of points, dump everything to VIT. Might take slower to kill but who knows if its worth it?

    highest LVL gears with -requirement gears.

    So the ideal tank gears are like this

    -requirement
    -P.DEF value+
    -HP value+
    -HP recovery value+
    -VIT value+
    -P.DMG suffered decrease+
    -element resistances+
    -HP recovery / Sluggish / Provoke / stun (weapon only)

    at least 4-5 of the above (weapon must have an auto ability) and -requirement is a must for tankers.

    ok, All tiger skills and the barb buff skills SHOULD be maxed like in the guides...

    But for the genie skills? O_O what would u get... hmmm...

    There is...
    the supports

    Ones I personally find the best friend for tanks is tree of protection (self healing) and solid shield (increased DEF)

    Flesh ream AOE mobs... how? try to spam it on multiple mobs by targeting them. just spam flesh ream, then use roar to get argo

    I heard they nerfed solid shield. Not sure how effective it is now. Also try Alpha Male, for getting aggro. Helps for tanks, especially in RB.

    aite i read all 4 of your posts and i have no idea what youre trying to get at.

    yeah sure i guess weapons can have up to a -50% req ability, but who wants to be level 90 with your dex capped at half that of other barbs? youll never land another hit again.

    that would probably be sucky but flesh ream never misses

    yeah flesh ream will work but you get another 3 hits in between every flesh ream while its cooling down, and if all those miss then :|

    also alacrity will miss and you wont be able to tank magic very well.

    That can be a bit of a problem if missing, but there is another skill to block off magic. beastial rage is a really good life saver

    Sage barbs for the win, but its better to have the latest gear, but it will be very hard to manufacture them b:surrender

    Yeh Solid Shield got uber nerfed QQ, but its ok because its still decent enough to help.

    I have Tree of Protection, Extreme Poison (Why this got nerfed idk, ruins the whole reason i have it, for pulling >.>) and Solid shield, Alpha male will help with keeping aggro if 5 mobs get taken by the wiz (Like they normally manage to do) or getting aggro regardless
