Throne and Liberty: Tank build, skill enchants, and stat priority
Your one-stop shop for Throne and Liberty tanking.
So you want to tank in Throne and Liberty? First of all, thank you brave comrade. Short dungeon queues and big health bars will be yours in time. But, if you want to tank well, you'll need to build your character and their equipment properly.
So we've written this Throne and Liberty tank build with some basic information on how to build up your character. It includes where to invest your stat points, what equipment stats to look for, what skills to use, and what skills to enchant first.
Throne and Liberty tank build
For this tank build, we're using a sword (with shield) as our main weapon, with a wand as our secondary.
Throne and Liberty: Tank stat points
For your tank, you'll want to invest the majority of your stat points into strength. This stat not only provides defence, max health, and health regen, it also provides an increase in minimum and maximum damage like all other stats. What's wonderful are the milestone rewards for investing enough stats into strength, including a max health boost at rank 30, damage reduction at 40, and more max health at 60.
Secondary to strength, you'll want Wisdom, which increases max mana and mana regen. Third you want Dexterity which increases crit, quickness, and evasion. You'll not want to upgrade these much above 20. Strength is your main stat dump.
Throne and Liberty: Tank equipment stat prio
As for equipment, anything that provides max health, endurance, health regen and evasion in that order. These stats are incredibly important for stats. Max health and endurance make you tankier, obviously. But evasion reduces you damage taken (which your healers will appreciate). Look for these if you can when gearing up your character, but don't worry about them too much until you reach the epic tier of gear.
Throne and Liberty: Tank skills to use
Okay, assuming you're using a sword and shield, these are the skills you should use.
- Shield strike
- Counter barrier
- Strategic Rush

- Provoking Roar
