    Going to be a quick one, I've been asked about my tank build for a while so figured I'd post it up here.

    Stats: 255 VIT, rest to INT
    (Vit is of course hp, INT increases mdef)

    Main hand weapon:
    For Nightmare/Ulti:
    - Toy Hammer (Nightmare Potum)
    - (Drop from Nightmare Potum in Garden of Beginning)

    For Normal/Hard:
    -
    Dark General's Sword (Pillar Golem/Aranea)
    - (Drop from Imitator Boss)

    Sub weapon:
    Marble shield/Dark General's Shield/Relief Shield

    Armor:
    - Brigandine (NPC) + Boss Roga/Cerabes/Aranea/B.B. Goblin/Super Night Mushroom/Arcoiris (For any boss that is not Dark/Light ele)
    - Sakura Kimono II (NPC/Event) + B.B. Goblin/Cerabes/Roga/Aranea/Super Night Mushroom/Arcoirus (For Physical based bosses that are not neutral ele)
    - Twilight Dress (Boss version) + Boss Roga/Cerabes/Aranea/B.B. Goblin/Super Night Mushroom/Arcoiris (For Light/Ele bosses that use a lot of magic)

    Additional:
    - Brutal Dragon Cape (Super Night Mushroom/Aranea/B.B. Gob/Grylle)

    Special:
    Knight's Talisman (Stone Mercenary)


    Blade skills:
    Hard hit - 5
    Astute - 5
    Trigger Slash - 10

    Shield Skills:
    Shield Mastery - 5
    Shield Bash - 5
    Force Shield - 10
    Magical Shield - 10
    Protection - 10
    Aegis - 10
    Guardian - 10

    Knight Skills:
    Assault Attack - 5
    Parry - 5
    Perfect Defense - 10
    Provoke - 5
    Rage sword - 5
    Binding Strike - 1

    Priest Skills:
    Holy Fist - 1

    Support Skills:
    Mini Heal - 5
    Recovery - 5
    Sanctuary - 10

    Survival Skills:
    Safe Rest -5
    HP boost - 10
    Short rest - 5
    Mp Boost - 10

    Guardian/Sanctuary Combo:
    Astute > Trigger Slash (save) > Guardian (save) > Sanctuary (swift) > Binding Strike (cons) > Perfect Defense (smite)
    Stun/Buff combo:
    Shield Bash > Perfect defense (save) > Protection/Aegis (swift) --> (depending on boss, can swap out shield bash for Assault attack or Holy Fist)
    Ampr Combo:
    Astute > Perfect Defense (cons) > Trigger (cons)

    Gameplay:
    Pretty much just keep guardian up with the Guardian Combo, use lots of autos, and use Perfect Defense whenever you can. At the start, immediately use the Guardian/Sanctuary combo to get up guardian, then use your buff combo, then just keep yourself alive however you can, you can stun bosses at good times to keep dps alive, and learn the timing for perfect defense, especially on boss fractionals. You should hold aggro from everything in this game that isn't another tank.

    I only see Npc/Boss drop versions of gears and no player-crafted/player-customized stats. Amirite to assume that this is a low-cost build for tanks?

    Also, why Perfect Defense (smite) in Guardian combo?

    Its not low cost when you start buying scrader crystals or farm TD for the armor and notice that you are not getting slotted armor at all then you will realize.
    Also the NPC/Boss versions are BETTER thats a reason as well. (Its tested true for armors at least if not for weapons)

    This is actually very low cost besides Brigandine slot, the Aggro comes from rather cheap gears and crystals and the skills used in combos, it's actually rather easy to hold Aggro, provided you have guardian. And as for the combo, perfect defense (smite) will cost double the normal 1mp, (2mp) so that eats the last 2mp from save on guardian

    I see. So for tanks, the innate stats of boss drops are better. Ty ;)
