Are you going for a pure tank or more of a hybrid approach?
Pure tanks don't need battle tactics while a hybrid would. I would only recommend SC if you had BT plus a whole other set of DPS gear, otherwise i wouldnt put points into that skill.
Aura shield is great it helps lessen the strain on healers during party time and is a useful to help stay alive all situations really.
I don't have anymore skill points for Shield Cannon so I'm just gonna ask about the combos for S.Cannon to help me think about it.
How do you pull it off?
S.Charge>Bash>Concentration>Bash>S.Bash>Bash>S.Cannon?
PS:
If I'm going to get S.Cannon, should I need Aura Strike and Aura Mastery? Because S.Charge, S.Bash and S.Cannon all cooldown in 30s so how am I going to use AS in pvp? Yeah I want to focus more on pvp but also I hope I could still effectively tank raids like CoA H. How about this build? http://www.ro2skills...dCrBdBrBeBnobs1 or this http://www.ro2skills...dCrFdBrBeBnoas1
PPS:
What I don't like about Concentration is that you need 1 Aura to cast it, which means you can't use it before battle, which means it might be a waste of time during pvp because ever second the enemy is stunned is precious because as soon as he gets up I'm pretty sure he's going to snare/free/stun me.
So is Concentration really that good? It just boost atk power in 15s in exchange for, I don't know, 2sec of precious free hits to the enemy?
PPPS:
Can a Knight survive 15-20s being in S.Fortress and Aura Shield against a Ranger in duels? I'm thinking of using those skills when I'm snared or probably if I wan't to wait for my skills to cooldown.
