Help with Tanker

I am wanting to make a tank, but do not know how to make the class combinations, build, etc …

Could someone help me with this?

Note: I want to make full tank, but I need tips to not suffer killing mobs quest (Exp card).

I thank everyone who can help me.

Thank you!

I think full tank and not suffer killing mobs can’t go together in the same sentence.

Anyway most full tanks usually go Peltasta C3 > Squire C3, or well Peltasta C3 for full tank, not sure what else could be taken for rank 5-6-7.

Full CON btw.

im thinking the same…after some research im going for
Pelt C2> Rodelero C2>Fencer C2
Con/Dex ( may put some Str)
Pelt for taunt
Rodelero to Dodge Magic and good CC on PVP
Fencer for a better evasion and Rapiers+Shield is awsome xD

I had to agree, is a perfect sinergy. Unless you want MAX block, by getting peltasta 3, but I think this not worth it, because the skill on lv 10 is not toooo much inflated than on lv 5.


Another build is using Hoplite, but you will need to like use spears. , and be the style of Leonidas.
Hoplite Finestra amplifies the skill High Guard of Peltasta 2 really great, and you still you do much more damage than taking Rodelero 2.
But by using Spears will be much better if you using Dragoon as the final class, or even Cataph, than using Fencer, even if you had to be making swaps of weapons since High Guard of peltasta only work with Shilds, instead 2 handed SPEAR, so will depend on the situation you are on.
So you can make for example:
s > pelt 2 > hop 2 > cataph > dragoon.
s > pelt 2 > hop 2 > cataph 1 > cataph 2.
s > pelt 3 > hop 2 > dragoon.
s > pelt 2 > hop 1 > cataph 3.
But are even more combinatios, like:
s > pelt 2 > hop 2 > dopel > dragoon

Can you even keep aggro on you with High Guard on? Half dmg on every skill but Umbo/Rim Blow doesn’t sound particularly appealing.

remove the buff after you use Umbo/Rim blow.

If we speak about PURE tank, pelt C3 is not required.
Even sw C3 will be better.

Rod C2 is something because of some CC and the magic evade but will really become mandatory when KToS buff will be apply on IToS.

So, pure tank should be more like this : sw1 > pelt1 > hop2 > rod 2 > hop3
Here you have +30% block (perfect scalling with your CON), pierce debuff, multi hit aoe skill (also give you evade and magic resist during channelling), etc…

Don’t mess your tank char with pelt3.

Rodelero is a bad idea. Slithering magic immune is a gimmick and will never be practical. Slithering makes you immune to magic and will just die to the the rest of magic mobs once it’s over

Squire C3 is still the best way to tank as the HP bonus from refreshment vendor will trump any CC/Magic immunity the other classes offer.

Based on how magic mobs work in this game, tanks job is not to just blindly face tank the mobs but to just group them up so that AoE kills them and take pressure off your squishy DPS

Pelt3 Squire3 will be your best choice till 280. Can’t tell how would perform that class on Earth Tower, but you’ll get a free trip to 280 with it.

80-100k hp tank, why not?

Maybe rode is an ok class for pvp as you mention in the example above. But rode got nothing except slithering that make him a tank at all. If you go full con with rode 2 or 3 your damage will be really low anyway, so I would rather take extra utillity as squire 3 and get even more hp and hp regen not only for me but the whole team.

What’s your opinion about switching Pelt2 for Barb1 which gives +50% slash atk later that’ll buff flanconnade and stun+cleave combo, i know it’s not that great but at least still better than Pelt2, right?

Rodelero’s cc is a joke compared to other classes like cryo… + It doesn’t even work on bosses. There is reason you never see anyone saying i need a rodelero in my team, and there is no situation in the game (yet) where you would need slithering.
The concept of a rodelero is cool but atm its the worst swordsmen circle. I really hope they will fix the class
