Tank build viable in term of PVE?
Some mobs will still kill your tanky guard if u dont know what skill have to be blocked and dodged, so DPS is much better for pve and much mor eeffective, play for power damage for easy gameplay and use well your dodges and trap spam if u have DH.
Hey there,
Before HoT came out I used to duo-trio 50s with some friends on their guards. She would sometimes hop into Clerics gear to get the aggro.
However, you still need to watch out for tells of hard hitting skills. Other than that it should work as that’s how we duo’ed a 50 once – me on ele and a guard or two depending on the fractal.
I think this would be a good baseline Tank build, focusing on shout, plenty of boon duration for shouts and plenty of condition removal.
I focussed on aegis, so aegis damages mobs and heals when removed.
Also plenty of uptime on Retaliation, wich i like a lot, since u wont be dealing that much damage. Its good to give a portion back. Trinkets and amulet are personal choice, dunno what the best options are for your taste.
Hope it helped!
Cheers!
This is i think a nice build if u want to use DH spec in it. My end game build for pve/hot maps will be something in this direction.
Cheers!
This is my normal tank build for dungeons/fractals (for raids I dont tank, since I have a chrono in group)
Retreat is also usefull if reflect is not a problem (remember that shield of the avenger give aegis when you use its active)
Besides that, its mainly a “learn the tell tell signs” of the boss/mob and dodge/block at the right time. It take some practice in the start, but its worth it.
Also remember to reming your temp friend to help you tank, breakbar control and blind (sandstorm) is importent.
ohh and earth elememtal from temp elite (rocky), dont forget that one
