Tanking Skill Set

Before you say anything this will look like a combo of the damage and healer rings sets. why? because they need to survive and do damage to keep attention.

Slash (nice to use when Area damage skills are recharging, hits 2 monsters at a decent damage rate, some people prefer hack or mantis, they cost less and hit only one monster though)
Fire Rain (MUST HAVE)
Dervish (nice to use Fire Rain + this, you have constant damage on enemies then push them away.)
Diagnose (nice to have incase healer is in trouble and you can back them up and other crew members will like it)
Meat (for that nice bonus HP)
Turtle (eliminates all incoming damage for like 5-10 seconds, they reduced the cooldown to 3 minutes so this will be a much nicer skill in a pinch)
Taunt (if you cant do enough damage to keep off the Damage sets, use a rage rank 3 or 4 to grab an area of enemies, the higher the rage the more you grab.)
Bandaid (if you are in a pinch and need a little more hp, use this on yourself and use diagnose this will get your hp back up and a healer should help you out after that.)

This set is more for absorbing damage, and having the ability to hold onto enemies, some bosses however are immune to Taunt sometimes so beware in boss fights its free reign and Damage might take some hits, so thats where you can make a difference with Bandaid and Diagnose.


Again these skill sets are made to work together. I'm hoping to get a group of people together to test how well it works and I'll post the outcome. If anyone is interested in joining me to try these out I would be more than happy to do any of these skill preferably tank or healer though =D.
