how to build a tank in throne and liberty

Building a Tank in Throne and Liberty involves selecting the right weapons, skills, stats, and gear to maximize survivability, crowd control (CC), and threat generation while supporting your team. Heres a step-by-step guide: Weapon Choice for Tanking The best weapon combinations for tanking are: Sword & Shield (Primary) Best for defense, blocking, and threat generation. Greatsword (Secondary) Provides self-healing, mobility, and AoE damage. Wand & Tome (Secondary) Offers supportive buffs and minor healing (if playing a hybrid tank/support). Alternative Options: Longsword (Main Hand) + Shield (Off-Hand) Similar to Sword & Shield but with different skill variations. Axe & Shield More offensive but still tanky. Stat Allocation Prioritize these stats: Strength (STR) Increases block efficiency and melee damage. Constitution (CON) Boosts HP and overall survivability. Dexterity (DEX) Helps with evasion and critical resistance (optional for dodge tanks). Recommended Ratio: Early Game: 60% STR / 40% CON Late Game (Hard Dungeons/PvP): 50% STR / 50% CON (or more CON if needed) Essential Tank Skills Sword & Shield Skills (Core Tanking Kit) Shield Bash Stuns enemies and generates threat. Provoking Roar Taunts enemies (must-have for aggro control). Defensive Stance Reduces incoming damage. Shield Charge Gap closer and AoE threat generator. Counterattack Block-based retaliation skill. Greatsword Skills (For Sustain & Mobility) Bloodthirst Life steal for self-healing. Whirlwind Slash AoE damage and threat generation. Leaping Strike Mobility skill to engage/disengage. Wand & Tome (Supportive Option) Barrier Temporary damage shield. Healing Light Minor self-heal (not as strong as Greatsword sustain). Gear & Resistances Armor Type: Heavy Armor (prioritize Defense, HP, and Block stats). Best Stats on Gear: - Block Rate / Block Efficiency (reduces damage when blocking). - HP / Damage Reduction (for survivability). - Stun / Knockback Resistance (to avoid CC in PvP/Raids). Enchantments: Focus on Defense, HP, and Threat Generation bonuses. Playstyle Tips Aggro Management: Use Provoking Roar and AoE attacks to maintain threat. Positioning: Face enemies away from your team to minimize AoE damage on allies. Cooldown Awareness: Rotate Defensive Stance and blocking to mitigate burst damage. Self-Healing: If using Greatsword, weave Bloodthirst between attacks. Best Builds for Tanking Pure Tank (Sword & Shield + Greatsword) Focus: Maximum survivability with self-healing. Best for: Dungeons, Raids, and PvP frontline. Hybrid Tank/Support (Sword & Shield + Wand & Tome) Focus: Tanking + minor party buffs/heals. Best for: Group content where extra support is needed. Final Notes Practice blocking and dodging Even as a tank, avoiding unnecessary damage is key. Adjust stats based on content More CON for hard raids, more STR for solo play.
