Help with Tanker

Rodelero for a pure Support Tank Build is still viable. Plus The class got buffed in Ktos and is now really good.
And even without the buffed rodelero that we have actually in itos the class is still decent , it give you short CC to control mobs in pve or players in pvp and an anti magic shield (im sorry but 10 sec of Anti Magic ,Yes Please, i’m LOVING it, every tool i can have to counter magic is usefull as a Tank ! ), of course the CC are not powerful as a wizard but hey its normal … we are a defensive melee class … and the CC are highly enough to protect our DPS & help them kill the other team.

With this build , don’t forget that in pvp your role is not to kill. You don’t have enough DPS , your role is to engage , protect and land your short CC , to allow your DPS to land their big burst or big CC, without being killed.
That your role, in PVP.

I will take rodelero to class 2 its enough, rodelero c3 bring only two big dps skill, that is not useful for you since you are a support tank, you will work only in teamplay.

I will then grab Squire to class 2 ,for PVE utility: to have The CC that you can use on Bosses , and all the utility to help your team repair their weapons , armors and give them storage or buff , when you are in a long grind session or in Earth Tower. Making you very useful !

In Final we got something like this :


For stat i will go full CON , to have a lot of block ,so you dont need finestra.
With this Build you are not a Killer but an excellent Support Tank who is good at both PVE and PVP.

I’m not sure why you think anything else then a rodelero is standing there ans press c…i guess you did only see horrible tank’s if you can out damage a hoplite lol.
Knockback skills only have a small aoe so only usefull for pushing away a few mobs if needed, and should’t be used in a mass because it only seperates the mobs out of the dps nukes.

Slithering is really the only good thing about a rodel, but i dont want to waste 2 circles for just 1 skill with too much downtime, while i can get pelt 3 full con, mass pull 21 mobs kite them around untill they are in a small density and bunny hop if (M atk) or press c (P atk) and not die even without a healer.

Last thing, giving advice that people should add SPR as a SW is really messed up -__-

There’s almost no 280 tanks on the game, and most people who pick Squire3 just do it to make money off it and play other classes. But the few who pick pelt3 and Squire3 to actually MAIN it, they can tank anything without a healer for quite a while.

Can’t give an opinion about Rodelero since i haven’t seen any Rodelero3 past 250.

Here is a Full Support Tank Build for both PVP & PVE , giving you High HP pool , Very High Survivability , High Block, a Magic Block Shield, Good Support with repairing , storage and 2 big HP buff food (for long dungeon run) and a lot of shorts CC to engage in pvp & allow your Team to burst the opponent.
(In Dungeon, you can easily play without a healer if you know what u doing & have enough potion) You are basically a ROCK. With this build you have everything a team need in PVE or PVP as a support tank.

Your only weakness is that your DPS is very weak , and you might have trouble dealing big damage.
(but for solo pve quest its all OK if you buy buffs & enchant ur weapon from other people)
Anyway as is said that build is meant to be full support and not DPS.

For Stat : full CON
For Stuff : you need to equip cloth armor and Sage Wall as Shield to have a lot of Magic Resist especially if you are going full CON , you 'll have enough Block.

That’s what i’m running at the moment, but with high CON instead of full CON. Slithering takes a bit of skill to use, u need to prepare to run when it ends. The Support part from squire 2 is more for convenience as the food doesn’t give you godly hp regen like squire 3 does. I stack physical defense as well because even that hurts a bit if you’re not blocking late game when tanking a big group

Yes it does, although it’s not something to be relied upon, and certainly doesn’t work well in PVP. Wizards won’t even bother to cc you, they’ll just destroy you instead.

Squire 3 is totally unnecessary and overkill outside earth tower. Without Rodelero 2 and just pelt 3 would be boring as hell and you will struggle a bit with some quests where u need to kill like 8 magic mobs with 50k - 100k hp.

Having close to no damage is not very fun, i can barely stand it with high CON, i’d probably reroll with full CON

The market’s saturated already, if you’re only c2 squire forget about making money. Even c3 doesn’t make that much. Use your dps toon and farm for high lv recipes/mats, you earn a lot more that way, especially since u have corsair in your build
