I can only repeat to this topic:

Quoted from "andreasels;490642"

One p.att stat per item is enough for a Wd/W tank imo.

Next gear I guess I will aim for:

Hero/Glorious/Crimson/Bunker Sta/Pdef
Glorious Sta/P.att
Castle Sta/Pdef, Hero Sta/HP or Hero HP/Pdef

Accesory ofc Aoth Salvation Set....about other 2 items not sure yet.
Rest items it will be basicly all from Tomb of the seven heroes, but not sure about the nonset parts from there which I will use.

First class to be equipped is my warrior anyway, so it will take a while till I will make new gear for warden.

So far it seems that my values are enough for now anyway (~220k HP, 350k Pdef, 42k p.att instance fullbuffed with p.att food, but without rice dumpling or other GM food)

I agree with druff on pretty much all that. My last 3 items have been 4x stam/def 1x hp/def and 1 x stam/pa. I'm super happy with results.

Quoted from "andreasels;493477"

I can only repeat to this topic:

i am only 40k HP and more warrior statted, but with Hero's Child T9 without plussing, around 20k patt, I have problem over aggroing R/S's in parties. I am still thinking, if i should go semi DPS / semi Tank and stat around sta/patt (3x or 4x, or even 6x?) and rest - sta/pdef, patt/def or one wis/patt (1x on every second gear - for MP) or 1x dex patt (for accuracy). Or go Druff's way by 3x(4x) sta/def and rest sta/patt.
And is it usefull mainly to stat gear that gives more critical?
I do not know mainly purpose of tank - to max def and sta to hold many attacks and suffer less damage, or to be able to over aggro other chars in party and take less damage, because if someone overaggroes me - the result will be his sure death.
Please comment above, couse i am really confused around tank style of play

The only crit on my gear I got is from Necklace (+15) and Fatal rune (IV), nothing else. So crit is really not needed.

I guess the R/S you can't keep aggro against is far better geared than you and/or has no recon runes.

I really got no problem at all with anyone's aggro usually, even I got really low p.att and crit (now with Lekani's Strength t11+16 not anymore anyway

)

Really important that you run the correct Aggro rotation. When I start bossfight I usually do:

Caviar Sandwich, Savage Power, Strong Stimulant, Rage Potion/Strong Stimulating Scent, VN Cape (can be exchanged with Strength of Battle I guess)....then run to boss and use Energy Absorb, Double Chop, Beast Chop, Pulse Mastery, Double Chop, Will Attack, Slash, Double Chop....and then just keep Double Chop/Will Attack/Beast Chop on CD and use in between, when everything is on CD or buff ran out Pulse Mastery/Slash/PotWS.

I use a lightly different rotation.....I start with Ire then Energy Absorb then will attack. This assures I keep aggro while I use energy absorb. This also helps with reducing the boss attack damage (Will attack and energy absorb) right away. After that I just rotate through the aggro skills making sure to keep will attack debuff up. I use slash and thorny vines (Yeah low damage) on the boss also for that little extra bit. Seems to help some..

I don't understand why wardens are using thorny vines. The damage is beyond bad and there is no agro modifier.

The best agro skill wardens have in my opinion is briar shield. It hits absurdly hard for a thorns buff and as long as the boss is hitting you you should have no problems keeping agro.

Unless I'm missing something and there is a reason to put tp in it.

There's really no need to pump tons of TP into thorny vines. I just use it and slash to keep DOT's on the boss. I only use em when other stuff is on cooldown. But as far as aggro....I use a Hatred X and most my aggro skills are maxed, so nobody is gonna take aggro from me anyways.

Tanfrag and I are both on grimdal. I'd love to see what other servers' tanks are like. Even if not warden (I know it's wrong section). Let's see some more screenshots people.

So, I'm slowly making equipment for my wd/w since I started playing again.

I'm wondering, no need for at least one STA/DEX, or PDEF/DEX? or something similar.

Just wondering, because I noticed a lot of the knights in my guild seem to throw at least one of those on.

Kind of stinks, all current equipment are for chapter 3 wd/w. So lots of patk, and the odd patk/wis on pieces here and there.

im not a warden, just a knight, but you wanted to see tanks so here i am ;-)

thats mine atm. but im far from finished. only 2 tosh level pieces new so far, Chest+(memento) Cloak, got boots lying around here.

one example: i STILL do not have "Annelia's Right Hand", so my Shield is still "Aoth Deep River Barrier" ...the damn thing just wont drop).
