Guild Wars 2

Ok I have a question for some raiders out there, I know that the standard build is 1 support 1 tank, 3 condis and 5 power for the 10 man raid, I have decided to try to shake up my build a little bit my focusing alot on the idea of fulfilling a tank role, without going into severe detail, I am a Herald running Glint/Jalis (Invocation, Retribution and Herald Lines) and according to my math once I have all my gear swapped around I will be running with around 2150 toughness flat, mixed in with another 250 on average from traits and consumables (hardening persistence) so my question, is 2150 mixed with 250 on almost all the time enough toughness to qualify for the “tank role” i.e. would it be enough to have more toughness then your average dps/support or would I need to do more gear swapping?

Thanks guys!

You only need to have more toughness than the rest of your party.
I saw a video where the tank was a reaper in full zerk gear, but he had toughness from traits while the rest of the team was zerk/sinister/viper so only with traits he was the highest Tou, therefore the tank and the Vale guardian actually followed him.

Alright! Thanks alot Belzebu!
