Since they -_-ed up avengers, im changing to druid.. Its level 84 at the moment and im planning to make it a druid-tank. I do have a few questions:

1. I'm wondering what skills i should use for tanking (raid bosses, mobs)?. I'm sure i will have some remaining points left over for other skills, where should I put these? I'm wondering the same about DNA (i have 45 dna points atm)

2. What weapon(s) should I use? Knuckles or a 1h Sword/axe + magic shield?

3. Does the blockrate% you get from a shield work when using doomguard/inferno ?

4. Is it possible to hold aggro awith just 1 taunt? Dont want to lose aggro against hard hitting people.

Keep in mind that im planning to use a s2 fascination armor set and 2 jewel sets a lab M-C set (for tanking) and a phys. jewel set for. So no skill spamming.

Thnx in advance.

Max revenge telekinesis and use shield for te block

1. I'm wondering what skills i should use for tanking (raid bosses, mobs)?. I'm sure i will have some remaining points left over for other skills, where should I put these? I'm wondering the same about DNA (i have 45 dna points atm)

- Max Doomguard, taunt, HP buff as a minimum (I assume you got this)

2. What weapon(s) should I use? Knuckles or a 1h Sword/axe + magic shield?

- Knuckles will give more HP overall because magic shield suck, but you need block rate and block defence as a tank. So sword/axe and shield that has CON on reinforce if you can.

3. Does the blockrate% you get from a shield work when using doomguard/inferno ?

- Yes

4. Is it possible to hold aggro awith just 1 taunt? Dont want to lose aggro against hard hitting people.

- Not with +30s. With an average party you'll be fine though

Druid tanks have one major advantage over prots, and that's the HP buff. It sucks that they have no block skills though

i will heal so don't mind xD

Thnx for the reply.

Ye, I got Doomguard maxed + maxed Taunt + Maxed HP buff. I also took staggering shout and the self-heal at lv 1.. Is it worth it to take Revenge of teleknesis + dna?

Also, when i use Doomguard or Inferno (both lv 10) i get an defense increase to 10K. Working as intended?

[Akro]

1st magic shield block rate on + increasing not each 2 steps like for carus melle shield
2nd druid dont have block defence skills so even if block will work it will block 100 damage or so depend on shield
so just go uncursed knuckles

[codoncio]

Max telekinesis + DNA

[Fudd]

Tank build:
Doomguard - 10
Taunt - 10
HP Buff - 10
Self heal - 1
Heavy Blow - 5
Staggering shout - 2
Revenge of Teleknisis - 10 + 10DNA

This leaves me with plenty of skill points which can be used for other things, like solo PVE. Are there any suggestions where I should put these skills?

[Fudd]

Currently build i use. (leaves me with 4 skill points at 85)

Lightning Chill Slash - lv 1
Lightning Chill Throw - lv 1

Natural Healing - lv 1 (little heal)
Instant Healing - lv 1 (little heal)
Wave of healing - lv 1 (little heal)
Wave of purification - lv 1 (to remove dot)

Approach Lv 10 + 10DNA (love this 3 sec dash skill)
Armor Mastery - lv 1 + 10DNA (Passive def, always nice)
Revenge of teleknisis lv 9 + 9 DNA (still have to see if this is going to work out well)
Robbing of Willingness - Lv 1 + lv 1 (for the extra defense)
Promise of trust - lv 9 + 9 DNA
cry of Will - lv 6 + 6DNA (critical % is always welcome)

DOOMGUARD:
Doomguard - lv 10
Taunt - lv 10
Giantizing - lv 10
Heavy Blow - lv 5
Healing power up - lv 1
Staggering Shout - lv 2

INFERNO:
Inferno - lv 10
Swift Arm - lv 4
Storm Slash - lv 5


So this leaves me with 4 skill points. Any opinions where i should put these?

[Akro]

Wave of purification - lv 2 - pluger have 2 dots and on svs u can get even more
put some pts in vilovy and sell rex

Yes, I was thinking of putting 2 points in wave of purification, for the same reason.

About the vilovy, i wont use it, I took approach lv 10 + 10 DNA. I really love the 3sec dash

[Hugh]

I'd go with knuckles for as much damage and hp as possible.

I'm pretty sure you'll lose aggro in raids to high + ppl since I've seen protectors lose aggro even though they use both taunts. I think the prot/commys that dont lose aggroe are properly spamming single target taunt every 3s.

I'd consider putting 0.5 crits in your hp jewery and use crit ball but ofc then its very hard to get enough hp to tank raids.

Double post lag.

use knucks, max tele+dna, but can leave doom on lvl 1 and max armor mastery and promise of trust so you dont need to rely on the often missing robbing of willingness.


tanked RH, LW, scarecrow, butler, and js bosses, just ask for 1 min time to taunt if you have +30 ppl in party, and taunt non-stop. otherwise you can lose aggro in a few seconds. so far only one who took aggro from me has been an almost full +30 defi, but took him 15 min for that and a full +30 zerk on drugs (haste).


also start practicing your "fu, i rly can tank" speech for pug raids xD you will need it, because despite of the loads of "druids" only a few can actually play them and know the potential.

why on earth would you use vilovy instead of inferno or dashes? or inferno and dashes

im thinking of making two jewelry sets.
one for DPS and 1 for tanking. Probably a reinforced bjiou set + rare neck/belt enchanted with 0.5% crit xeons and a SL-MC set for HP enchanted with HP xeons.

Thnx for all the advice.

first of al;l i have tryed tanking on my druid but still get pwned in 2 hits with 14k hp in Rh, robo, LW, DC aparently defence is useless on raid bosses and also telekinesis unless you max it and spend some dna will be useless. max resistance it is really helpfull also use shield for block rate i tryed tanking with full SL set +15 and on mine enchant in tottal 9k hp but still failed so i blamed my RH +10 splendid set. and aggro you can easy steal it from a protector if you spamm it so just hardcore spamm the taunt but need to be maxed. i use healing on +4 it crits for abouth 2k with axe of control pretty usefull. but since the unstunable doomguard still can be stuned by raid boss it is useless in raids.
