Tank Druid

[traitors]

OK just the usual making a tank druid could i get an awsome build stat skills and items and also if you could post your tank druid stats skills here to please so i can see what i need basicly thxs!!!

hmm.... well im not very good with druids, but there are a few things i can tell you: MAX OUT GRIZZLY if you want a second tank, MAX OUT OAK SAGE FOR SURE!!! AWESOME LIFE!!! MAX OUT LYCANTHROPY, and i dunno which is better for tanking.... werewolf or werebear sry couldnt help much

 

[WildfireFX]

Hmm.. Im guessing it would be your choice on wolf or bear. More options with wolf.

As far as spirits go, you're obviously going to want the life one.

An idea would be to keep your strength low and use enigma that way you can have more points into vitality. (vita= tankage.)

CTA would help too. You're gonna want high defence armor. I dont think this would be a cheap build.

Wolf is good.

Max Lycantrophy, Werewolf, Fury and Heart of wolverine. If you prefer life over damage / ar, max Oak sage instead of Wolverine.

If you want, you can put some xtra points into Grizzly to have one more tank.

Stats...well, it's up to you. You can stop putting points into vitality when you get to 2k life and then pump up strength to have more damage, or you can put the points in this way:

Str min for gear
Dex for max block (if you use stormshield) or to have a decent ar with your gear
Vita all the rest
Energy base

You also have to use an Act 2 Nightmare Offensive mercenary, cuz he has Might aura, and increases your damage.

if you want an absolute tank that can take anything get werebear, lycanthropy, oaksage, grizzly, maul. you can have over 3k life if you get some decent gear.

ive had a bear b4 and they just don't die... even if you have a 2 handed weapon

Wouldn't wearbear be better for tanking because each level adds to defense..?

Bear and use wolves if you want tanks. But with all those points going to defense, I'd be worried about your damage output. And you know what they say.... the best defense is a good offense. If an enemy is dead, it can't kill you.

 

[Guru]

Die facets nub. Or on a more serious note, if thats the case it'd make more sense to go elemental

 

[SteveDaGreat]

i say F*ck the druid and go witht he real tanker... BARB! but thats not you want and i went off topic, d@mnit!

 

[Darkmatter]

Way to go with OT post. Anyways, Tank Druids are nice, but I think you need very good gear to make it a good Tank though. That's just my opinion.

 

[simpleforce]

off topic:
y not tank zon.. with 7-10 points in each of the 3 dodges and passive and magic charms and wisp for oak sage and cta for bo

 

[c9h13no3]

I love how people don't follow up on threads they write.

 

[bob-marley]

would this be a pvp build? because i think werebear in pvp sucks. it attacks just to damn slow for me.

 

[drax]

OK just the usual making a tank druid

would this be a pvp build?

That was a REALLY dumb question. Did you even read the thread?
