Don't think I'll agree... My wolf tomorrow maybe will become a Fenrir and it has 1700 p attack... Wouldnt -5 dex +5 con with a health weapon be great? Just one agression and its about time only

Your wolf will act as a DD for only so long... it's 1700 P.atk is stiffled by its max P.Def of about 600... that's a few stray hits from most mobs.
Even with hate, mobs have AoE skills, stuns, and other ways of robbing you of your ability to protect the wolf, and its not reliable.
It's been my experience, that DEX is the one stat in Lineage II that you NEVER want to loose. Most stats corolate to one or two game functions... like Con being HP / Stun resist etc.. WIT being Cast speed / Heal-revive...
Dex is the uber stat; it affects Speed, attack speed, evasion, sheild block rate, accuracy, crit rate, and crit damage. That's a lot to loose for any class, the tank classes not withstanding.
also, for an SK, Dex is a great addition to your high STR... attack fast, accuractly, and crit a lot for lots of damage... you're not a main tank anyway, you're a support tank. -Dex would just needlessly complicate things for you. (Maj Heavy + Sheild you think looks pretty, and a DLE or Tallum blade is MEAN settup on an SK, and they can rock in PvE and PvP).

"Yes, it's the only tank class who can summon a pet or a similar thing to help him."
this was evidently written some time ago. like, before wolves existed? XD
It's very telling that you guys have posted the article about tanks on MMORPG.com, but not the newer article on the very same site about Lineage II's broken economy.
Just a quick question(don't want to start a new thread for something simple)
DA's dyes must be STR - DEX - and CON ++?
Tat setups are dependent on how you want to play your tank. I chose a +4 dex -4 con and a focus wep. The dex helps with run speed, speed at which i can use my skills, a little more to accuracy and crit rate too.

why u didnt post it...
===========
about the article I think the same as Spudnik posted
But oh well. I actually just wanted to comment that +CON is in practice a very bad idea, and it's getting worse in Gracia 3 with the new Hate system. I highly recommend all tanks to get +STR for both pvp and pvm. Take it from either DEX or CON, up to you. DEX affects a lot of things but actually, modifying DEX through tattoos barely affects anything at all. Use a DLE w/Health through A grade and by the time you're 76+ with a Forgotten Blade, you will no longer need the Health SA (or anything to boost HP but buffs, really).
The difference between a tank with +7 STR (IC set) and a tank who has -5 STR (and cancels the IC set bonus by getting -2 STR/+2 DEX) is far, far more significant than the difference between a tank with +3 DEX (again, IC set) and a tank with -7 DEX. If you don't think damage matters for a tank then you might want to try it out. I mean I hate to break it to you but xp is not good in 9 person parties when compared to a tank w/+STR soloing or duoing with 1 damage dealer or a BD. CON doesn't really do anything for PVP, either; you're better off just spamming those CP potions.
After 2 years playing a TK, im using +2str -2dex, and its working very well, it can fits all the 3 A grade sets plus IC with minimum loss using both focus and health weapons.
BTW, i lost something or that article only licks DA?
