Runes of Magic US / AU

Hiya!! Ok, first off comes the weapon.. it really all depends on which you prefer/can get a hold of. I prefer 2h axe's, some people prefer the swords, u just have to see which is best at your level (ghost stat and damage wise).

As for Stats, I mix it up, I wear mostly plate, with 3 chain pieces (Paicha belt/Gloves and Boroboro Shoulders). I statted all 3 pieces stam/pattk castle/crimson/bunker Str/pattk crimson/bunker Stam/def Crimson (or bunker, whichever I already had)
and with the rest being plate, Im getting a nice pdef boost as well as stam/hp boost. But I statted the plate gears with Stam/pattk crimson/bunker Stam/def crimson/bunker HP/def bunker, pattk/def Crimson. My wings are crimson/glorious/hero stam/pattk and str/pattk.. I have roughly 105K HP base, with 47k pattk.. I use a t-10+16 hero's Child. Tho, being lvl 70, I kinda feel pressured into running ToSH more often to get the drops adn learn the tanking patterns..
Yes, Wearing chain does have its uses, as in the extra pattk/str u get in the ghost stats and from +ing it while on warrior side (no matter what level, just be on warrior when plussing to get the extra str (^_^))
So, Hope I could help out!! And have fun building your Wd/w

I'd actually advise against statting str/patt. you'd have not enough hp/pdef to tank, and can't play the role of a dps either because your main damage skills have high aggro multiplier.

stam/pdef Glorious
stam/pdef Hero
stam/pdef Crimson
stam/pdef Bunker
stam/patt Glorious

last one, depends on whether you want to be more defensive or offensive.
stam/patt Hero OR one of (stam/hp hero, stam/pdef castle, hp/pdef hero).

going stam/patt instead of say stam/hp, you gain something like 4872 patt, but lose 12772 hp....

About plate vs chain, i'd say that if you're not going for complete sets, you can wear some chain (for example belts because they give stam when plussed).

If you are building a complete full Wdn/W tank I would stat

Stam/P.Def Hero
Stam/P.Def Glorious
Stam/P.Att Glorious
Stam/P.Def Crimson
Stam/HP Hero
Stam/P.Def Bunker or HP/P.Def Hero (HP/P.Def would be cheaper and is guaranteed stat in case you are low on funds)

As for weapon, use the current best 2H. If you don't like the look of a sword or axe you can agg it don't let what it is or looks like influence your weapon choice. Best 2H at the moment is Lekani's Strength from ToSH- H.

As for gear, don't use any chain. Just stick with the sets meant for tanking, all Plate. Don't worry about P.Att, Wdn/W can hold immense aggro.

Looked through knights and warden threads, but think they might be gone.

What should be used for the accessories? Anything I should look at? Is it better just to pull ones that give more patk and stat them as my gear, or go with ones that give dodge/parry/accuracy?

The 3-pc mem vendor accessories are nice and are easily attainable if you are not running GCH for the Arcane set. Some even say that the mem vendor pieces are better for Wdn/W. They are Defense Earring of the Bunker from Redhill Mountains Vendor 560 mems, Necklace of Heroic Defense, and Ring of Demonic Defense. Necklace and Ring are from Valley of Glory vendor, 630 mems a piece. All pieces either give parry, dodge, or both. And a set bonus that adds both parry and dodge. In the other ring slot I would wear Skeletal Ring, it gives parry and dodge . The other earring slot can also be another Defense Earring of the Bunker if you like or an Arcane Earring (str and parry)whatever is easier to obtain.

Best Accesory would be full Aoth Salvation btw (ring and earring twice), but hard to obtain, especially a 2nd ring (if you can even access the first)

I wear Ring, 2x Earring and Necklace of Aoth Salvation and a Skeletal Ring. Thinking about exchaning the Skeletal Ring for a Memento one with either Str/P.att or Dodge/P.att though, since I don't really see so much use in parry atm. But maybe I also keep the skeletal ring, since basicly I don't have Aggro issues with only 23.5k p.att unbuffed (tanking ToSH Hardmode)

Wow. There's no way a knight could hold aggro with that low PA, right? Maybe if he went 2H but the defense wouldn't last in ToSH.

Wd/W is nuts.

+50% 2h weapon mastery does a lot i suppose

Well, a knight needs to use a bit more p.att on his gear, but has more def/hp than a Wd/W with same gear (at least K/S got noticeable more), so a warden can use his aggro advantage to reach nearly same pdef as knight.

Atm I am sitting at 215k HP and 430k Pdef instance buffed (without unicorn/gingerman/rice dumpling), a knight with equal gear should have quite some higher Def and HP values already. Anyway....for comparison I need to wait till I am fullstatted (6 items to go)
