Make Classic Tank Viable...

[flat plank]

You're only going off info that others tell you and haven't actually tried making this into a viable tank set up. Nor looked into why tank viability exists. Can you explain why it wouldn't work in clear terms?

I'm doing a cursory glance at sword and shield mods and I can see some good potential with the right augments on your gear and the right gear choices. You should be able to tank most content aside from something like boss gauntlet which needs precise builds anyway.

What is odd is having such an opinion of finality when you haven't experienced everything in the game, I personally use an "off meta" skill set to tank and have major success without using cow/staff/shield.

The amount of players hitting for 20k is in the handfuls and usually only group together anyway

I do like that you used someone else's info though. You can overtake that aggro for long enough to gain your own with sword, did you look at how?

Where at?

You tested a fully geared sword/shield geared towards tanking?

which mods, which armors? which abilities?

what dungeons?

Gazluk is a level 70 dungeon, can i see your mods and armor set

I want to see what you're seeing so I can have your perspective

Maybe I can help
