    I never understood why you need Toy Hammer? Aren't there better weapons for tanking?

    This build doesn't have good accuracy yet because dex hasn't been built up. Eventually a different weapon can be used but to compensate for low accuracy but so attacks don't miss use toy hammer. The 100 crit rate makes hits not miss.

    Ahh I see, thank you for such a quick reply! Loving the build so far, holding aggro pretty well, even with a 2H burst in our party.

    Sword and shield is probably the strongest aggro holder because you have access to guardian and the knight skills rage sword and binding strike. Glad it's working well ^^

    Sis what about Jiangshi Hat? Offering 15 % physical and magical resistance seems promising as tank gear and the extra 300mp is nice too while the nega of -long range damage has like no Effect for this tank. Also we can use enhanced Version of Stone Merc crysta now (8 Guard rate + 12%aggro iirc)

    I'll look into the add and test ty. It looks like it would be good. Will lose quite a bit of hp but there should still be plenty and resistance is better anyway.
    I saw the enhancer I'll add that later. It's so expensive atm lol

    I wouldn't use nure mask. It gives you high hp but you will have no ailment resistance so you will always get burned poison etc... if you want more hp I suggest unicorn helm with no negatives. Jiangshi hat is now better for tanks then brigan helm.

    Its a case to case basis. There are some boss who doesn't inflict an ailment status. And even boss do, most of ailment attack can be avoided by dodging the red/blue areas coz in fighting any boss, tanks are the fastest to adapt to boss patterns sets of atks/skills not unless youre a static tank. Having a high HP pool be usefull to some boss like Inzanio. his unpredictable fraction sneaky atk is a fix fractional dmg. And with Pdef now in game, you can easily regain HP back as fast you loose HP from ailment

    All bosses inflict some sort of ailment status. Some just don't always effect your hp. While p def is a great skill you shouldn't rely too much on one skill or one stat. You don't need tons of hp to be a great tank. Like any build it requires balance. Too much hp makes it harder to recover especially since p def is reliant on timing it right. It may work for you on some bosses like inzanio but don't forget to build up your resistance for all atks. That combined with decent hp will make your tank versatile to be able to fight many different bosses. And this is something I have learned from building tanks for over a year.

    I talking about the fire ailment that im sure many are most concerned of. I agree im lvl125 and never felt the need for pdef. its just with so many stuffs for each class, we need to also consider potential possibilities. for builds, stats, gears may be different for every types of gameplay, and im not a high hp focused build too. my sets of gears are strange never saw the build guide posted here before coz im gearing for the worst

    Its not just the ailment resist its the negative motion speed. The -15% you can see very clearly when you use slow skills like guardian and sanctuary which means you will not be able to use any long combo at all.
    High Hp doesnt mean high survival lol if you get hit by a 60% fractional at 20k HP it will do 12k damage to you and if you got 30k hp it would do 18k damage to you 18k > 12k as in you take 3 extra revitas to heal that completely. And no p def doesnt help you with this as it gets capped at maximum 2k heal it wont heal more than that. Theres so many recent bosses that do fractional attack that are more than 60% (bexiz, aranea, imitacia). I would like to see a tank with 40k hp tank aranea at close range lol if they prove me its possible to tank that spider with that high HP I will take my word back. My shield mage with 7k hp can tank that spider better than my pure tank.

    Even for bosses that dont do that much fractional attacks the negative motion speed can still lock you in a combo more than you wish I would rather use something like rose in mouth (20%HP 20%aggro) instead of nure mask if I really needed more hp.
