There's a section on TK tanking here.
http://www.lineage2.com/guide/guides_tanking1.html
is it fair to call this dated material now ?
ne-ways I am about to hit 71 on my TK so I'll give you my 1 cents on TK .
1. Magic Power SA dose not increase Cubic DMG or anything lol
2. Never Ever Ever Ever Ever invest in the Charm Skill =(
3. It is true that the Guard Stance Toggle is VERY Mp abusing, but if you have a head on your shoulders you will know the enemie's pattern of strong atk ... so if an archer redies up a stun shot /GS if a Dagger uses MigyMortal skill /GS and if some Melee class is charging a [censored] ATK turn it on .... it saves you HP/CP and makes them feel bad ^.<
4. With the addition of PVP Hate in C5 you can fight with the DDs and if you see someone about to get Zoinked /SPAM HATE ... give em a few moments to gather CP =) and if you see a archer, after you obtain lvl 55-58+, root them and Tribunal them thus making them utterly worthless <3
5. As far as Tanking goes hate i.e. aggression is almost totaly worthless if not for its range. The new Root works wonders for our ability to get/keep hate on us.
6. A good TK isn't a DMG SPONGE HOG !!! If your people have freakin vr on let the BD/SWS take a few hits at the end of the 4X HP mob's life ... I mean when you get hate again with root or what eva they will eat that HP back up =)
7. This one goes for all you dumb dumb tanks out there ... AOE hate can be used to pull single linked mobs if you eye ball it right :o So you dont get 4 lillims ..... just one ^^
8. The gear I used for my grades were as follows ... C = FP set and Delus HP < I was tanking in CT1 and 2> B grade was Doom heavy <even tho it is ugly as balls> and a AOBA Hp, and for A I began in DC with a Tallum blade caus clan wouldn't gimmie better rofl I accualy hated it ... even when I got my SA Haste on my Tallum Blade ... I sold all that and made a killing in INf ore when it was close to 20k a pop and over a few months had enough to get my DLE HP +3 and Tallum Heavy Armor =)
9. Tats .... NEVER GO - STR !!!!!!!!!! EVER !! I mean ..... I'll kill you if you go -STR with tats >.< After many years of grining TK I realized I could accualy shed some Dext ... <voice from the angry mob... BOOOO NOT YOUR DEXT ><....
After my Tallum Set tats I come out with 38 Str 33 dext and 36 con which is not a bad set up at all for both PVP and PVE =) and btw with -2 dext I am still a CRIT MACHINE ! and the Tallum gives me a nice 8 % Atk Speed bonus so I never miss an extra swing =)
That's all I know .... that and how to compose full orchestral works =(
