Tips for improving low level aw tanks

Sigel Knight Started Last reply 6 posts
Hi, I love playing as a tank (PK lvl 87 + sub msen 76 + sub sag level 56), but after awakening my class is quite sh... if compared to others. I being playing for two months (however last month i only played a couple of days).

I am not sure what is happening, specially with kartia (group 85), sometimes i make a party with a tyrr that blast away zellaka hp and his hp doesn't go down (may be it is draining the boss hp by % dmg), while me a tank do null damage and die with 7 aoe hits of the boss (the healer was down).

I know that I need better equipment (I have the immortal set from mentee's, in def mode) and upgrade it. My pdef with knight buff is 5.5k and it goes to 6k if I use the defensive aura. My p. atk is 2.7k with the knight buff (220 for cri and 900 for a.spd). I can't heal myself (sacrifice doesn't count 500hp in 27khp is nothing when a hit from zellaka is around 4k).

Someone said me to buy a better armor, like twi+6, but would it make any difference? (I need like a 1-2 billions adena, chronos). Or should I get a better weapon first?. I just like doing pve only.

So I ask, for tanking role:

1) best armor for sigel between lvls 85-94 (max 2 bill)
2) best weapon for sigel between lvls 85-94 (max 2 bill)
3) healing tips (potions, enchantments, whatever, cuz if the healer dies I die with him).
4) best subclass skills (I got 3% (1+1+1) in pdef and mdef already) and dualclass skills (I want to be an iss-he)
5) Any other tips you think that I should know.
even a +6 S80 armor set would be better then a +3 Immortal one besides that have a look at the pm I sent you and just decide on what you want to focus and take it 1 small step at a time to improve/gear up slowly but steady.

also on dual class an ISS is a very cost effective one to have as you can use the same gear plus you can use the mp cost reduction/regen talismans then on your tank as well.

thanks for all the tips.
I know its too late, but maybe for future newbie tanks...

If u wanna make PVE cheap tank:


Immo hvy +6 its about 400kk + bless 5x50kk (or 100kk) ~800kk and u have set till 99lvl. Ofc attribute 3x120
Special PVE Defence belt
Shirt Oct/Isti +1 all stats
Cloak Zaken have +15 all attribute rezist
Weapon Apo sword/blunt with 2SA: Body + HP Soul = +37%HP and +15%MP
Dye all CON +15 will be perfect (if no cash will be -STR too)
Hair Accessory CON+M.def
Brooch: Diamond +P.Def, Emerald +CON, Pearl +M.def
jewelery Special Resistance rings/earings + istina necklace / octavis neck warrior
Agation Freya +1 stat all the time
Duals/Subclass Certification Skills: all to HP% and p.def m.def
8 AP +HP%
Fish Stew +3 CON all the time
Talisman Venir 8lvl +1 all stats

U dont need p.atk and when Healer goes down its only time when u die too... U can run in a circle ;^)


And ISS SWS its the best dualclass if u r rly TANKplaystyle and u dont have too much adenas ;^)

A lot CON, isn't CON limited when you are near to (90 CON) and unnecesary continue putting CON? let me know cause i'm outdated.
Mcenchanter the "90 Con thing" is to achieve 100% block shield rate on knight H buff..

But CON is needed for:
- HP pool
- P.debuff resistance


Thouse two mainly XD. So more con = more hp = more boost to thouse HP% bonus. CON means more tanky.
