RGs and Suras

So far Defending Aura takes care of ranged attacks, Guard to block 30% of atks, Shield spell and Prestige to increase defense and 30%ish probability to negate magic. MS still has the benefit of reducing all damage to 1/10 so if i get hit with magic or a strong melee atk it'll hurt a lot more. HP aids in that category but when you're trying to tank an MvP spamming skills/magic on you, MS still has the advantage...
I'm looking for advice to become a better tank and hopefully not get flamed to death in the long run. RG's specialize in defensive capabilities but it seems like a true tank is Sura's calling. I'm hoping to compare or even bypass that somehow. Thanks for your help

ultimately? Sac the sura.
Yup. You can TRY to be "as good" as the Sura tanking (and are not all too likely to succeed), but the combination of the two classes is the best tank.

Bleh, I don't want to but I guess it's the lesser of two evils~
Thanks
Well remember your defence skills carry through sac as well, so as well as MS they're gettig guard/DA etc.
That's the best best way. And they get crit wounds, you don't, since you're the one taking heals, you're increasing that tanking ability a least 10x

How about kaahi + RG's Sac on a Sura with 120 VIT and highly upgraded gears.
Umm... rather keep the SP for mental str recast O.o

He's talking about kahii on the rg...
I dunno if I'd bother, but it's not a terrible idea

Personally, I can tank better on RG bc of DA-S.Spell-VF-Prestige-Guard and got also Sacrifice w/helps precaster squishies. /no1
In WOE, RG tanking is fun.

If other classes could get as good reduction as an MS sura, it would nullify the usefulness of the MS skill, so I think the designers intended it to be the way that it is. Bottomline: Just be happy that you can both DPS and tank at the same time, rather than being unhappy that you get hit harder than a Sura using Mental Strength (which is what I'm detecting from your posts). Also, as Ramen said above, you're going to be much better at tanking in most parts of the game. Mental Strength is limited in where it can be appropriately utilized. You'll only really see it in ET (for certain MVPs) and Bio3. Everywhere else, you're the better tank. Heck, even in ET you're often the better tank, at least for the weaker MVPs and monsters.
