WB tanker build

So, for an optimal tanking build...

Every 2 Levels

+6 STR
+3 CON
+1 AGI

Make minor adjustments for EQ as needed.

---

AoE skills are...

- Billow (human, useless IMO, don't bother)
- Ground Rending (Human, useful, only reason not to upgrade is if you zhen from 70-79 you'll be using this skill to lure mobs and the farther you knock them back, longer it takes, level if you don't plan on zhenning.)
- Surf Impact (Tiger, useful, lvl if you plan on spending a lot of time in tiger form but get bite and devour first. Level 10 increases range to 8m)
- Bluster (useful but having high levels of this skill is not that important IMO, I'm 85, have it at level 3 and it does everything I want it to do, Good for initial grab or to quickly grab mobs running for the DDs)
- Frighten (useful but for reasons that don't really involve AoE, like reducing boss damage in HH or slowing down players in PVP)
- Perdition (GODLY but impractical for everyday use, I use in massive FB19 runs and 1hit-KOs on magic based chars in PVP)

As Solty8 said, be the tank. Your job is not to do damage, it's to be a giant meatshield for the DDs made of glass. If you're AoEing, bluster, then bite/devour any stragglers as needed.

argh closed internet page by misstake but it comes from official forum.

Thanks for posting this! It is really useful, but it lacks specific skills and such

I did find this though:
WB skill guide


Loving the wb so far, but I just can't put my main down long enough to level him!

Well, I'll try and take some time out someday to post a general WB info. I've played WB quite a lot, and I think I can guide new players quite a bit. Will definitely post someday.
