I was reading some guides and it sounds like my set should be full zerkers + some toughness to keep aggro. Does anyone have a good benchmark on what my toughness should be? I assume it’s pretty simple, just over the base of w/e the highest toughness class is.

Heya

Sreatly depends on your allies. In theory 1005 toughness is enough to tank. However full heal Druids (if you have those in your team) often are around 1200-1300 toughness due to cleric trinkets, Necros and Warriors also have traits that increase their toughness (Warrior to 1400 while rezzing for example).

So 1405 would be a good value to aim for while tanking if it is not for a speedrun.

Yeah, above 1400 is a pretty solid amount so that your warriors can revive without stealing aggro. You can do it with less if you’re confident that your party isn’t going to die a lot, but over 1400 is safest.
