Tell me what you think? Tell me any ideas you have to help me make the best TANK ever. Please tell me what armor set I should get. Also, help me select runes to use on my armor.

Thanx for your advice in advance. Don't negatively criticize me please, this is my first GWG thread... ever. Also, my first warrior account.

First off, I recommend a switch to axe.
If this is for PvE:
Dump strength for Tactics, and dump sprint and heal party for healing signet and bonetti's defense. Tactics skills are more useful for the good PvE tank and should be fully utilized. Any armor set would work, but if you are looking to use all of those healing skills, Gladiator's is recommended. If you want to do some soloing, I'd recommend this build:

12+2 Axe Mastery
12+1 Tactics

Axe Skills

Cyclone Axe
Penetrating Blow

Tactics Skills

Gladiator's defense {e}
Bonetti's Defense
Shield Stance
Defensive Stance
Watch Yourself!
Healing Signet

This build is the basic idea of the invincible solo warrior.

If, however, you are looking to do some PvP, here's what you should do:
1. Scrap your entire build
2. Smack your head against the wall a few times
3. Switch to Elementalist, Ranger, or Necromancer secondary

Warriors are meant to do 2 things in PvP: kill and disrupt. Tanks cannot do either. The best warrior for these purposes is a Knockdown warrior, prefebly with Aftershock off of the Elementalist secondary, but Axe using tiger's fury W/R's and cursing condition-stacking W/N's are also effective options.

All tanks can do in PvE is wait until they are all that's left on their team, and while their Gladiator's Defense is owned by the smarter Warrior's Cunning user on the opposing team, yell repetedly "OMG U CANT KILL ME LOLOLOL" until you die.

If you want a true pve tank, you can go swords. That's just cause tactics allows for some awesome tanking + damage capabilities...

12+1+3 swords
7+1 strength
8+1 Tactics
8 Healing Prayers

Sever Artery
Riposte
Deadly Riposte
Shield Stance
Gladiator's Defense {E}
Bonetti's Defense
Healing Breeze
Restore Life / Vigorous Spirit

That's a tank for ya.
