Hello people
I am a new PVE tank
ATM I have
But I am not sure what class should I chose in the next rank the rest of the classes are not “tanky” they are more full dmg.
I have read some guide from this forum but… I don’t know I dont like the idea to be hybrid. I would like to be tank >>> support >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> DPS
I am wondering if any pve tank could share their build.
Thanks
For support pick squire for more cc, evasion and magic def pick rodelero.
Any advice with the skills points distribution?
rodelero>fencer; con/dex build.
Rodelero is tanky, Squire is support-y. Fencer is also a fairly good defensive option, although it does try to do damage, which you seem to be kind of avoiding.
As far as stats, you should definitely either be going full CON, or CON/DEX as a tank. (If you wanna go fencer, I highly recommend going CON/DEX).
I can see any good skills in Rodelero, all their look very PVP cc, silence… which one I should to chose?
And with Squire I only can see 1 useful skill “arrest”
TBH I like Hoplite for Tanks. Mainly for Finestra which gives a % inc to Block which you will have a lot of if you go full con
What about…
Honestly I don’t recommend you picking squire unless you have a 2nd char. Rodelero is probably the best choice if you went Peltasta c3, take advantage of high kick to increase your strike damage.
All of the shield attacks are considered strike damage so might as well put it to use.
Something like this…
I’d suggest you to max swashbuckling 
It’s the main reason to go peltasta c3 so i’d say it’s sad to only put 6 points in it. Guardian 15, why not, but i don’t find this much relevant (only 35 physical defense).
For rodelero, maxing shiltering only upgrades damages, you want it for magic immunity and attribute (+strike damage) so 1 point is enough.
I’d suggest you to invest in shooting star, since it will become strike in few weeks (already buffed on Ktos) which goes well with shiltering and high kick 
Something like that…

this is something ill be using (c1 rode atm) str/con/dex 1/3/1 build (using cloth armor,because palt and then hop will give me alot block for phys attack so m def is more important). Sadly for me classes in tos wont let me build my fav tank setup atm (maybe in future with more classes ill find my perfect match)
Why is rodelero so favored for pve tanks? its 2 circles for a magic immunity skill with a long cooldown s:
A third circle would just make rodelero do bonus strike damage due to high kick, not all CC’s works on bosses either.
I’d rather go Hoplite C2/3, with finestra you’d gain another 20/30% bonus block rate, along with peltastas blockrate, thats a 45/55% bonus to block ratio~!
You would also gain access to Spear Lunge, which makes your target vulnerable to pierce damage which means even your Langort would do even more damage.
And since you already went pelasta c3, you have access to umbo thrust.
Boss defense = 0
Pierce vulnerability = 50 or 100% bonus pierce damage(i forgot how much it was)
You’d dish out just fine damage, even if you decided to roll full con.
I woulda probably done this.
Edit: I put 1 point on guardian incase you were going for en evasive tank, 1 level on guardian is enough for the evasion buff it gives.
Edit2:At current content, there are more mobs that are weak to pierce and slash, less mobs that are strike weak.
Because magic defense / is THAT important at high levels. But I agree Rodelero c3 is kinda useless, even after the kTOS buffs.
If you’re a proper tank that stacked CON then your damage is crap anyway, whether u use spear or sword. This goes for Langort and Butterfly. The extra block from Finestra is nice, but physical attacks are not the problem at high levels, that’s why people are even willing to throw away their defense by wearing cloth, just to be able to tank magic hits better
Sure, don’t come crying when your party kicks you when you can’t get past the first boss just because you have so much stabbing potential but got one-shot by a magical boss.
Source: seen too much of it.
So this boss that does 30~40k+ magic damage in one go, is this something he only cast every 30 seconds or so?
The downtime is 18 seconds(granted you walk around in slithering for the full duration), i never said its a bad skill, but its not consistent, bosses tends to spam whatever as they see fit, well its your gamble.
Rodelero in general isnt a tank class, the only skill that gives them a tanky feature is indeed only slithering.
Get your elitism somewhere else.
