As a tank, you should focus more on absorbing damage rather than healing it. Especially if you're in a group, where I think it's the monk's jot to heal. And the best compliment to a tank is a healing monk who's bored to tears because they have nothing to do.

Just pack skills that increase armor. Dolyak + Watch yourself give u 50-60 unstrippable armor, which really helps. Shields up is good agaisnt ranger mobs. Just look at what you will be taking on, know how they do damage, and think of the ways it can be countered. If you go w/me, u get elemental and physical resistance, which are both awesome stances for tanks.

Why on earth would you use Healing Signet on a tank? Your job as a tank is to absorb damage, not amplify the reception of it.

Anywhere there's lots of enemies? Just go to Deldrimor War Camp and start advertising yourself as a tank.

Do you mean a pure tank for Solo PVE farming or Party PVE (with monk)?

For Solo PVE, choose Strength if your foes' attack is frequent and hard. Choose Tactics if your target's attack is less frequent and you will have time to heal yourself constantly

Whenever you have a Monk in a Party, you can just go for 2 more Strength (if your monk is reliable)

Heal sig is an excellent skill for a warrior, and even a tank. You use it only when you have dolyak + watch urself on you.....the damage doesn't get amplified.

Using Healing Signet gives you a spike drop of -40 armor for 2 seconds.

If you're in a farming group, you should have a monk to heal you.
