Curse

This is my first guide hope I did good. This build is ment for when Teams need a tank(not for going out on your own for farming or soloing mission) to take most to all of the dmg, it doesnt deal much dmg but it can take most everything to an extent. I was able to solo 4 mursaat in ice caves mission with out any help(depends what u call help,there were to uninfused people mursaat attaked them killed them each in 1 hit but gave me enough time to get all 4 stances up), but when it comes to health degen u can handle it as long as it is 3 degen or lower, any higher you'll need monks help.

W/any
Tank

Stats

Strength 14 (12+1+1)
Tactics 13 (12+1)
Sword 4 (3+1)

(Your stats can be higher if you want but I wanted all health possible.)

Skills

Beserker Stance
Bonnetti's Defense
Watch Yourself
Endure pain
Defy Pain
Doylak Signet
heal Signet
Resurection Signet

Runes

Superior Absorbtion
Major Vigor(u can have better, this is all i could afford)
Minor tactics
Minor Strength
Minor sword
(my health comes to 521)

Equipment

furiuos sword or furious axe
-3 dmg shield or better
I use complete Platemail armor from droks with +1 strength helm.

Summary
Start by casting endure pain run into group of foes , when u get there cast doylak sig from there cast heal sig then beserker stance and start attacking, when u get enough adrenaline cast defy pain and watch yourself. From there just keep attacking and build up adrenaline if u find yourself dropping below 800 health use heal sig. If you for some reason need energy or your other skills charging cast bonnetti's defense(don't use while u have other stances up wont help). Also make sure if your aggroing the group and they all come after u first u have monk heal u till u get all 4 stances up from there you should be able to take all dmg.(Don't try to solo things, u deal 1-4 dmg it'll take forever to do. only do if your like the only person alive in group or in that area if group split, but remember if you split take at least 1 monk with you to heal you while u first putting up stance to get u started)

Weakness

Heavy health degen(above 3 degen)
Anti Stance
Anti Melee
hex/curse(such as SS or things that stop adrenaline building)
Blind

Strengths

Against melee

Stats should be (minor correction though):

Strength=14 (12+1+1)
Tactics=13 (12+1)
Sword=4 (3+1)

Sentinel's Armor would be better, 100 AL vs everything and you have 13 strength.

Where is this ever needed though? Why don't you wish to damage anything, some personal pacifism thing? Try an wa/el with Obsidian Flesh and a +20% enchantment extension (just an idea):

For 8...18 seconds, you gain +20 armor and cannot be the target of enemy spells, but move 50% slower.

By "solo" do you mean they could not damage you or that you actually caused damage and killed them?

they were deling like 4 dmg and i was dealing 3-4 each hit lowest i got was 400 of 1103(with 2% morale)

Also i didnt make it a specific build because i wanted any type of warrior to be able to use it and not limit anyone.

I didnt put sentinels cause i dont have and again for same kind of reason as above i dont want people to think they cant do it just cause they dont have sentinels. Also As it says thats what i use just because i use it doesnt mean its whats best for you.

I guess its nice to be a wall, but you do no damage and will be totally dependant on you teammates to kill. Guess thats okay but sometimes in a pug they won't really like that...

Watch Yourself + Dolyak Signet + Bonetti's Defense is all you'll ever need to tank...

However, since Dolyak slows ya down, making it tougher to football body-block for your softies [or intercept their attackers, which is more important usually], perhaps, only Watch Yourself + Bonettis Defense would be all you need.

Protector's Defense is Godly for that btw... ^_^ Despite the long recycle, if your team can't kill off most of the enemies by the time it runs out [10 tactics usually is a smart idea], then you messed up somewhere...

Bonetti's has never added anything for me, the only time I've used it was using a W/E aftershock/whirlwind/armour of earth build for farming griffons, e-management (what was I thinking..)
