I figured a basic stance tanks with some removal might work, but what are your opinions and your builds?
(btw, I searched and didn't find anything...)

Here's what I've seen from Bonding. And, as I don't play Stance-Tank, it may be wrong:

Gladiator's Defense (E)
Defensive Stance
Disciplined Stance / ?Dolyak Signet?
"Watch Yourself!"
Sprint
Balthazar's Spirit / Essence Bond
Healing Signet
Resurrection Signet

I THINK that's what I've seen. Some people (like my guild leader ^^) use Disrupting Chop or Distracting Blow for Grenth's Footprint.

Try it out I guess ^^.

I wouldnt consider Healing Signet unless you plan to only use it when in GF. Balth Spirit is all good. I usually take some sort of disrupt and hex removal like smite hex.

I'm far from an expert on oro, but I've been using

cyclone axe
Exec Strike
bon def
def stance
glad def
heal sig
smite hex
res sig

you could swamp out one of the axe attacks for disrupt and the other for dol sig if you want even more def, but i like dealing a little more dam as I like doing this by myself with a few hench. Also, if you want to go w/n instead you can go plague touch to pass on conditions instead of dealing with hexes.

Pretty much my build, except Heal Sig and Res Sig are next to useless. Balthazar's Spirit is far more useful than Essence Bond for casting on yourself. Bonetti's and Dolyak Sig help. Sprint isn't necessary but it helps on occasion.

Thanks peoples. I'll probably go with Pheonix Arrow's build with some minor changes i.e. Bonnetti's and stuff.

Balance · Apr 04, 2006, 12:54 AM // 00:54

Distracting Blow
Dolyak Signet
Balanced Stance
Endure Pain
Disciplined Stance
I Will Survive
Bonetti's Defense
Gladiator's Defense {E} or Shield of Judgement {E}

XBC · Apr 04, 2006, 12:23 PM // 12:23

Right now I have :

Gladiator's Defense
Defensive Stance
Bonetti's Defense
"Watch Yourself!"
Dolyak Signet
Resurrection Signet
Healing Signet

13 Strength
14 Tactics
3 Smiting Prayers

Any suggestions? I was thinking of trying to fit some hex removal in there, but I don't realy know what to remove.

I don't think you need Healing Signet. In Grenth's Footprint is quite easy for monk to heal with bonder. If I am tank, I will bring I Will Survive instead of Healing Signet to reduce degen. And I also like Holy Veil to remove hex and cover enchant. I rarely see monk bring it, they often bring Remove Hex.
I use :
Gladiator Defense
"Watch Yourself !"
Dolyak Signet / "Shield Up !"
Defensive Stance
"I Will Survive !"
Holy Veil
Rebirth/Res Signet
Bonetti's Defense
If a monk has Holy Veil, you can swap Holy Veil for Discipline Stance / Endure Pain.
With protect enchantments from Bonder and Healing Seed, I think you will be always fine, just need to cover enchant carefully.

I was thinking of using defy pain in cunjunction with balthazars. Would this be a good idea? Or is it a no-no to take out Gladiator's? Also using watchyourself/dolyak for the health.
