2h tank?

Is 2h tank ,ok?

 

no

 

2h is good if you want to make a semi tank semi dps char but if pure tank better to go for a shield char instead.

 

Wut you mean? Best tank is knuckles... they can't kill what they can't hit

 

Surviving is easy, maintaining aggro is hard, that's where 1h+shield comes in...

 

I just spam provoke

 

THS are best tanks cuz they kill stuff before enough damage can be inflicted. (I stg I typed this in like .2 seconds cuz of my sword passion)

 

You cant hold aggro against legit spammers with just provoke.
2h can be a better tank when you wanna add dps to the runs as well (semi tank semi dps) as their atk growth is high with just one stat, halberd, 2h and staff fu make the best semi tanks out there.
But if pure tanks are concerned best go for +shield builds to get guardian coz tanking 4x mini bosses is impossible without that skill also less spamming = more prorating for you. Or you can also go for knux+shield full agi rest vit only thing different here will be that it will be more of a pure tank in parties and more of a semi dps during solo

 

Yeah tempest alone can be enough if theres no huge aggro generating arrow mages in party.

 

Idk if you know this, but I am the knuckle + shield tank *cough cough*

 

Yeah i know xd thats why added the last entry on my post.
Knux shield tank pure agi rest vit gonna be the ultimate pure tank late game and can also be able to do fairly decent dps if high refined knux are used.

 

2H normally goes for DPS, but mine is a balanced build, high aggro, breaks well, quite high damage, so 2H tank is possible, BUT you can equip a shield, so...do reconsider cos it is normally ideal for tanker to hold a shield

 

That's what you call a semi-tank or a dps-tank xP... They can tank but not as good as those dedicated tanks...
(player skill not included here... Cuz for plebeians such as I, we ain't capable of what @BK. is doing)

 

You can be a semi dps tank 2h like me.....Just use gear plate armor(add gear) and knight talisman with Viollaccoon xtal. You can have a Str and VIT build for it.

 

Arco is squishy anyway. Real nightmare was tanking 8 nightmare potums XD.

 

But still nothings worse than boss colon for tanking.
