A terra tank, or earth tank [in DoA anyways], is a W/E that tanks using Obsidian Flesh as the elite, along with other earth skills [Armor of Earth, Stoneflesh Aura, etc].

I thought Terra Tank was mainly E/D or E/Me?

Terra Tanks are Eles using Earth enchantments to increase their armor and provide damage reduction. Terra is Latin for Earth.
They mostly use Obsidian Flesh + Serpent's Quickness to provide infinite immunity to spells and then Armor of Earth/Kinetic Armor/Stoneflesh Aura/etc. for high armor and damage reduction, Silver Armour or Ward of Stability for soloing/anti-kd. Stone Striker & Storm Chaser for energy management.

OBSIDIAN Tanks are D/E's or W/E's who run Earth Magic to tank.

There was a build on The wiki that had this and it was a W/E build but the builds have been wiped.I would check around the farming forum it might be there.

For the w/e tank build it was max strength+earth. Obsidian flesh, Stoneflesh aura, Armor of earth, optional, the one signet with +health, endure pain, res sig, grasping earth or ward against foes to slowdown/ hold mobs together.
