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.

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)
