Symbiosis makes a Geo tank stronger than a pure tank there. With as many enchants as a geo tank will have on them, they will have huge amounts of health. Not only that, but a Dwayna's kiss on them will do an insane amount of healing on them too. Relying on Endure Pain for increased health is pretty dangerous due to the short time that it will actually last.

The best tank will always be the player that understands the most about aggro, can communicate with the rest of his or her team, make good pulls, and set up perfect body blocks.

Each profession has some tanking potential, and might even outshine the warrior in some situations, but you can't ignore a warriors higher armor and absorption. When the enchants come down, pound for pound a warrior is still the best tank. Signet of Stamina and Endure Pain help immensely as well.

Personally, I think a Dervish is a much better tank.

AL = 134 (or 174 depending on build.

Natural armour of 70. Balth avatar. 110. Conviction. 134. Physical/Ele Resistance = 174.

Combine that with SoA, SB or whatever from your monks, your on a pretty good basis for a tank. Plus if you mess around with your attributes, you can either use the Scythe for the 40 odd damage, (and hit the other foes as well), or use Dust Cloak/Heart of Holy Flame for 50-60 damage to all surrounding foes.

Well each his own, i have beaten all the quests with the way i did it and you can beat it your own way, but that comment doesn't make a large amount of sense since you are suggesting for a warrior to run obsidan flesh with armor of earth and stoneflesh... think about the energy, i guess you are thinking BR touch instead of Bip which is cast, but i didn't run obsidan flesh.

in torrment a vow of silent dervish would be ideal with a stance armor build.

Vow recharge is less the what it last so the only thing you have to worry about is melee dmg

TheTanko Build--

Bonetti's Defense
Armor of Earth
StoneFlesh Aura
Dolyak Signet
Lightbringers Signet
Lightbringers Gaze
Signet Of stamina
Ward Against Melee or foes

Earth Magic 12
Strength 14
Tactics 3
Lightbringers Signet and bonettis are for energy and Have a monk with SB

With spell breaker and heal party on a monk you can tank for hours with taking Zero Damage from anything in game except degs and armor negating damage ergo the touchers inwhich you would have to change out lightbringers for charge and just have team spread out and run around
My hp is around 900

Do you mean base 900 hp ? ok i built mine i see i have 923 HP with Sig of Stamina up. I think you are right this is the tank for DOA.

Vow of Silence prevents you from being targetted by any spells, including your own spells and those of your allies. You cannot use Vow of Silence on yourself while the effect is up, which guarantees a 1s window every 11s where the enemy can cast on you.

Warriors will have more health than Elementalists both with and without Symbiosis, making them the tank of choice for Veil.

Ya the base isn't 900 it is around 600, the build will either work very well or suck, exhigh energy cost mind wrack famine etc really hurt the build.

and burst cancel i am not saying use it but if must use a dervish to tank it would be usefull in some areas and could still be healed with signet skills
