Curse

Here's a build I made up for tanking FoW which combines a couple stances with ritualist restoration magic. If anyone has suggestions on what I should do to make this better please let me know.

Don't know how to do that thing where you show the icons for the skills and all that so I'll just list the skills (I'll add attributes later if someone wants them.)

Healing Signet
Cyclone Axe
Balanced Stance
Bonetti's Defense
Watch Yourself
Flesh of My Flesh
Resilient Weapon
Vengeful Was Khanei

You don't need any special equipment for this build, I used Victo's Axe with Malinon's shield on one run and it worked fine. My armor for both runs was Dreadnought's chest and legs with gladiators hands and feet and I think knight's helmet; nothing special.
VWK works great here because every time you're attacked you're healed for 29 (with 12 restoration), it has a low energy cost, and a low cooldown. Resilient weapon is also great here because you'll almost always have a condition or hex on you, and while you do you get +5 health regen and +24 armor, and you can always keep it up because its cooldown is only 4 seconds. Balanced Stance is really the only other skill you NEED so you don't get knocked down by the abyssals. Bonetti's helps when you're low on energy, and Cyclone Axe gives you adrenaline for Watch Yourself and Bonetti's. I haven't needed to use healing signet yet so if anyone has a suggestion for something to replace it yet please let me know.

I tested this in a NM 5 man FoW run a few days ago (2 rangers, 1 bonder, 1 tank, 1 ss) and it worked great up until the point where the SS left and we decided to quit because it was going too slowly.
I also tested it today in an 8 man NM forgemaster run and we flew through it.

I also figured out that after everyone else left I could use this build to somewhat slowly farm the dryders and snarling driftwoods on the beach, and that got me a gold shield and a shard, so you can make a little more money after everyone leaves by soloing parts of the beach with this build.

Anyway, let me know what you think of this build.
