So recently I started raiding as a tank herald, and noticed that my play style get’s a lot of hate from the people that do Gorseval.
In VG it wasn’t a problem to people since I guess it’s an easier boss, but people in Gorseval were mad at me because as a Herald I should be there for DPS and not tanking, since we lose DPS.

So I decided to remake my build to a tank with really high DPS, only this time I want the community to rate it for me.
The build

Now I shall explain.
Basically with Commander armor I get the toughness I need for tanking without losing too much power and precision, plus a bonus of concentration, for extra boon goodiness.
Trinkets are zerker for massive DPS increase, because I do not need more than 1.5k toughness.
With the trait Roiling Mists, while under fury, I will have 100% crit chance (60% from build + 40% from better fury), which means I will crit all the time, which gives me roughly 3.2k DPS only with autos and no might or stacks from Vicious Lacerations.
So basically this is the build and I would love people to rate it for me, especially raiders.

it’s a nice build if you were to tank on a rev.
I’d say the herald runes are probs a waste since you can get high protection uptime form the elite ( especially with all that boon duration from commander gear).
Leadership runes might be nice. Durability runes would be interesting on it. I can’t think of anything better off the top of my head looking at stats for a moment durability runes seem like the obvious choice and I’m sure herald runes aren’t really needed.

You don’t need high toughness particularly.
You just need more than everyone else.
As a result your hardened persistence trait ( and you maybe could take a knights ring or two since they are so easy to get from fotm) would yield enough toughness for most situations.
Mallyx or jalis might be better than shiro for similar reasons, and extra stats or 20% dmg reduction. and easier on the energy.

long story short: you could probably pull this off with zerk + scholar armour, a couple of knights trinkets and boon duration food.
Saving yourself an entire set of asc armour, which has to be a + point.
