Guild Wars 2

Does anyone have a really good tank build that also has decent damage? or even a good balance between damage and defense. I just don’t like zerker and want to be able to survive a lot.

when you dont like berzerk gears raids might be the wrong place for you, due to by now, you need a decent amount of damage, to deal with the timers and apart from conditions berserk is the gear to go for damage.
That been said, if you wanna “tank” you need 2 things:
1) more toughtness than others
2) somethink to avoid/migrate damage
For point one just switch out one or two trinkets with toughtness.
To reduce your damage taken, just use dodges and a block/evade skill. I’d prefer using double swords and staff with regular damage build. when you run out of dodges or want to stand still, just use the block from sword. When your on “stun-mode” just use staff evades. Additionally, you got 100% Protection uptime from glint and endurance refill+dodge at shiros.
In case you mess up, you got a 100% heal at glint with some smaller heals at shiro/staff.
When you get ported at first boss, just use shiro to get back asap.

Thats all you need. Only change is the extra toughtness trinket and standing infont exept behind the bosses.

(Of cause, you can take jalis and/or ventari for braindead afk tanking with full def gear, but thats boring and when your team cant carry your missing damage you might better let someone else “tank” and just do damage)
