    Hey folks. Im trying to build a tank and was wondering how to distribute my skill points. I have read a few threads that say full VIT but none that really help with skills.

    The gist of it is full vit then gear to improve your aggro and hp. Skills are provoke level 10,mp charge level 10 and mini heal level 10. Use a Staff. Spam provoke when necessary(when you lose aggro) and recharge mp with mp charge. Mini Heal will restore more than any available pot at the moment will if your hp is high enough. A skill I'd also recommend is shield bash. Only one mp and the Stun is phenomenal(only recommended for bosses with low dodge as the skill is not a sure hit). Heavy armor mastery will improve your guard rate as well which is useful for soaking up damage.

    P. S. I don't have a tank so I haven't personally tested this but in reality there's no need. The theory is sound enough.

    I am not recommended to increase your HP by gear/xtall anymore tho.
    Full VIT already enough HP.
    Better if you focus on Guard rate and Guard power.
    of course +Agro% gear is very good choice.

    High HP but with just mediocre guard rate is not good for pure tank IMO. It's only make you hard to recover HP instead of reduce damage taken.
    for ex.
    get tortuga xtall instead of Roga xtall on your slotted armor.
    or
    get S.merc xtall intead of king potum xtall on your slotted ring.

    If u want hp and some atk as a tank id suggest doing around 150vit rest dex, ur weapon should be a custom sword that gives agro% then shield is up to u but if u want decent guard rate and power and added hp then use relief shield, as for armour id definitely suggest a npc blacksmith version plate armour slotted or 2s if u can manage to get lucky enough, additional should definitely be boss version stier slotted or 2s, boss version is from bigmask and is 30+def vit+2 hp+15%, accessory should be knight talisman slotted or 2s from npc blacksmith, that gives +25%agro and +250mp, seeing as ur a 1h u wont be able to spam provoke as ur mp pool will be low and mp charge will be slow, so a combo with hard hit then rage sword(consecutive) and triggerslash (consecutive) will be needed, and any skills u wanna add to that combo, u can get provoke lvl10 which will cost 200mp per use but only use it if u really need to, as for xstals ill say thats completely up to u, i dnt know how well this will turn out so try at ur own will, my tank is more support based with high hp def and high heals to heal me and the party if i need to, thats why my build is a 9Lives Paladin, and can hold agro fairly well too

    I don't care about the amount of damage just being able to hold aggro to keep my squishies alive. And being able to take hits from bosses and laugh in their face. So as i mentioned before considering full VIT

    Go with makoi build http://toramonline.com/index.php?threads/tank-paladin-build-guide-by-makoi.1719/, and tweak it a bit.
    Change your weapon to sword. (something like fan sword that give you more agro)
    Don't take his, bless + gloria skill.
    take "Rage sword lvl10" instead. and get hardhit lvl1 only

    Don't worry, you will not good as staff build at recover MP, but you can get the best tanker weapon in this game.
    +30% agro if I am not mistaken. create on sofya NPC BS.

    Your moves:
    1. Manual Provoke lvl10.
    *only equal to 1200 agro, that's why you need agro bonus equipment set. (fan sword+knight talisman+BD cape is enough, already about 65% more agro)
    Because, pure archer combo with save, can do over 1200 agro just with 100mp as this current version FYI.

    2. Combo to maintain agro (use it after provoke)
    HH > Shield bash (consec) > Rage sword (consec)
    that will be 100mp, with agro equal to 600mp, good for spamming while breaking boss moves.

    3. Manual Mini heal (use wisely)
    Heal about 300+10%Max HP.

    4. Manual recover
    Recover, burning + poison is worth of MP.

    And, sorry I kinda forgot, It's been a long time not playing tanker lol
    And all my previous tank's equipment are also sold already :D
