I have an easy question.

I'll a W/E Obsidian Tank Hero be effective?

If not why, and is there any similar build that will work?

Will any changes to build posted bellow render it more effective? If so which ones do you advice?

Build (straight from PvX wiki) :
Warrior / Elementalist 12 + 1 + 3
Strength 3
Earth Magic 12

Stoneflesh Aura
Obsidian Flesh
Wary Stance
Grasping Earth
Glyph of Concentration
Endure Pain
Dolyak Signet
Signet of Stamina

-----------------------------------------------------------------


Thanks in advance

Signet of Stamina ends when you attack, and in order to prevent your hero from Kiting and cause him to stay close and hold agro on an enemy, you will have to have him on defensive stance, therefore causing him to attack the enemy - ending the signet.

Hero tanks just dont work as well as player ones, it takes intuition and forethought to hold agro, a hero doesnt have this.

They won't chain skills, they won't stay still and they won't keep from attacking. You need a human tank because they will know to stand still and take the damage.
