(Well, don't know if I posted this or if it got deleted so here is it again lol)

I want to know if someone have tryed to tank things in heroic instance in this game as a dirge. With the shield from runny (25% more shield effectiveness) and the shield AA we have some nice avoid, and a proc damage when we receive damage.

Is it viable to be a tanking class for instance ? xD

i tanked CoA, SoF, Vault and Maiden without shield, so yes it s viable but obviously not a choice. i did it only cuz it took me more than 5 mins to get a tank.

Kall could tank everything for us if he tried, too bad he didn't bother getting stoneskin boots(though they are quite shit now).

What kind of HP/avoidance/mit do you guys have that can do it? Looking at AAs I would assume pretty close to the standard. Drop the 5 in Int to max out sheild block, and maybe take some from posion to max parry in Agi line. Would the Sta final be worth it in case you catch a damage spike?

aye, ive tanked in coa(coa end boss handed me my ass), cok. Just stick your hate buff on yourself and pull away. It's not easy mind you but definately doable.

Deathsnote

no need to adjust your aa's around from the more common aa spec biggest issue you might run into is high burst dps classes stealing aggro but other then that just have some solid gear and you should be fine with a skilled healer or 2 in the group

If you are a VP raiding dirge, use the Wardancer for tanking. It gives you more base avoidance than the shield from RE2.
