Trying out some new ways of party tanking for pve builds. [since pvp warrior builds are becoming harder and harder for me to make for some reason...

]

If the mythical Lord of the Seas had an avatar, would it be this W/E?

10+1+1 Sword Mastery
9+1 Tactics
7+1 Strength
10 Water Magic

goal: to withstand as much damage as possible and keep foes from leaving you and attacking your teammates. [yay ice magic] Couldn't find an effective way to make him solo however...

Riposte
Deadly Riposte
Bonetti's Defense
Gladiator's Defense {E}
Armor of Frost / Mist [when you're in the ring of Fire]
Conjure Frost
Frozen Burst
Res Sig

I made a booboo on my firey pressure cooker build. Can't use a Zealous mod with this one...

Nice Icey sword of Defense should do. [Fortitude if your'e fighting armor ignoring or degen foes]

The combination of Riposte, stance, and Enchantment make for a powerful defensive damage reducing role. [nice dmg output too with Gladiator's] Problem? Enchant killing enemies. If you're dealing with them, bring Watch Yourself! instead of Armor of X.

What are your thoughts? [think about having a smart player who's on your team using this build]

I can't say that I really see the point of the conjure, and I thought for sure Poseidon would have a water trident..

Seems nice though. *feeds Yukito cookies*

Overall very solid. Some minor tweeks depending on where you're tanking. If you go to ring of fire, it might be better ditch the stances in favor of Doylak Sig and/or Watch Yourself due to the Wild Blows that the Armors throw around.

You're probably going to want let your monk know to bring condition removal since Bonetti's is your only energy management skill. When you're blinded, you'll either be waiting for regen or not have half of your options available to you.

That's because this is Posiedon's BODYGUARD. Posiedon himself would obviously be an Elementalist/Mesmer with

Water Magic: 12
Inspiration Magic: 10
Energy Storage: 8

Water Trident *E*
Ice Spikes
Maelstrom
Blurred Vision
Spirit Shackles
Power Drain
Inspired Hex
Ether Feast

Obviously.

Oh, and Bugeater, it doesn't really matter about his energy management, because w/e has no condition or hex removal in the first place. Boing.

Nice inputs peeps ^_^

Might I suggest Healing Signet in place of Conjure Frost? You don't have any heals at all.
