Okay so I think some people are not familiar with tank builds in LoD . A tank just needs the right skills and items to shine.
Skills:
1. Return 2. Atrophy Aura 3. Morph (to str ofc) 4. Berserkers Blood 5. Dispersion 6. Heartstopper Aura 7. Reactive Armor 8. Dragons Blood 9. Bristleback (preferbaly picked along with Quill Spray) 10. Corrosive Skin 11. Mana Shield 12. Anti-Mage's Spell Shield 13. Counter Helix 14. Flesh Heap 15. Untouchable 16. Gravekeeper's Cloak 17. Cold Embrace 18. Blur 19. Backtrack 20. Drunken Brawler 21. Krakens Shell 22. Devour (preferbaly devour Ogre Magi/Enraged Wildkin) 23. Unstable Current
Ultimates:
1. Chemical Rage 2. Reincarnation 3. True Form 4. Borrowed Time 5. Exorcism 6. Sunder 7. Flesh Golem
Sorry if I didn't mention more of them, these are all I can remember. NOTE that if you pick the wrong skills together, you will have an USELESS build e.g. Bererkers Blood, Dragons Blood, Spell Shield and Reincaration. Maybe you will be hard to kill, but you can do nothing, so smart people won't focus you. Good builds should be like this: Dispersion, Corrosive Skin, Reactive Armor and Chemical Rage. You have 20% m.resist from CS , Dispersion gives you 20% damage REFLECTION, Reactive Armor and Chemical Rage adds you more health regen, hp and armor, in other words, more survival abilities. It is not an useless build because Dispersion does damage and still gives you tanky stuff, same with Corrosive Skin, and the two remaining abilities focuses on survival abilities. Oh and almost forgot - Return + Morph is sorta IMBA! . Return deals damage equal to your strength (only 50% but still ) and morph morphs all your agility to strength. This combination works very well especially on Dragon Knight imo, because his str gain is 2.8 (sorta high) and agi gain is 2.2 which allows you to morph more agi to str
Items:
1. Vanguard 2. Hood of Defiance (+upgrade) 3. Radiance 4. Str giving items (e.g. HoT) 5. Armor giving items (e.g. AC) 6. Even health regenaration items if necessary (e.g. BS) 7. Power Threads (Strength) 8. Blade Mail
The item picks should be according to your skills. For example if you have Berserkers Blood or Spell Shield, you won't need hood of defiance and you should buy vanguard. If you have lots of armor (Dragons Blood or Reactive Armor) you won't need vanguard and you should buy hood of defiance. If you just have amazing synergy with your build (lot of m.resist and armor and HP) imo you should buy blade mail OR, if you can, you should rush buying radiance.
Hope this helped you
