I was at Endless Tower the Other Day and our tank ended up dieing to the MvP's magic attacks (Don't Ask n.n)
So i got inspired to Create a MageTank (Not as in a character that can only tank magic but one that can fight/protect with magic too and Tank Physical and Magical DMG.)

I've heard of the Popular Sage and Kahii Soul Linker Combo where Indulge and Kahii would allow a powerful tank as it is
But i want to focus on a Sage that focuses more on tanking.

My Idea would be that the Build should go something like
Vit>Int~Dex>Str [(Str for holding Pots and other materials) Dex is Preferably Higher than Int... Perhaps]

Useful skills would include:
Safety Wall: For Cushioning and a Potential Life Saver
Blinding Mist: Reduces Ranged and Magic Damage
Magnetic Earth: Protect your party from MvP AoE moves. [Not sure to have it at lvl 3 or 5]
Deluge: Provides the Sage/Prof/Sorc with extra HP
Energy Coat: Reduces DMG received from the sage [Extra Handy with a Raydric slotted Wool Scarf + Tidal Shoes]

Complementary Skills:
Bolts: Can Help Dish out Damage while wearing an Orlean Gown or Phen Clip
EarthGrave/DiamondDust/VaretyrSpear/KillingCloud/PoisonBurst/PsyWave: Help Dish out Aoe Damage to Destroy MvP summons and Help out Party With Damage (Damage Dealing while Tanking also helps the Sage/Prof/Sorc gain the MvP status as well, but Tanking must be the Priority in Skill and Stat Build)
MindBreaker: Serves as a Provoke and Helps the Sage with Damage Dealing
FreeCast: Helps the Sage by not allowing him to become a "sitting duck" in dire situations
ElementalSummons: Can Help by Defensively Buffing the Sage or Helping out in Taking Down the Monster/MvP.
Sight: Uncover MvP's that can hide/cloak such as "White Lady"
Sense: With this skill you can understand monster attributes and weaknesses if the information wasn't researched prior, this skill can also show Monster's remaining HitPoints.
SpellBreak: Break MvP Casts

This could serve as an example of a possible TankSage Skill Build.

So any Suggestions? Sounds Reasonable? Would you allow a SageTank to Tank for your party?
