Buckler shield = Agro hold for dummie's 101 , becasue of the sheer autoattack Dps u get from it u almost dont have to Cast any ca's Especaly if you have a good dirge and a good Coerc and Assassin Backing you up, or any 2 out of 3 for the 3rd healer, when needed , But , some mobs u just simply cannotuse buckler when u get to t2 and t3 and VP ,What i am saying i cant rely on your Buckler all the time , in a raid if u are losing hate , your hate Transfers are kinda slacking , or u to busy taunting and not spaming your Ca's as they are up, always remember Good tanks rely on themselfs everyhing else is a bonus ,and make our jobs easier, Dps = Agro hold taunt when it up but focus on your Dps

Well i've tried the buckler line and at least trying to use it solo'ing it did not work very well, just 1 regular lvl 79 mob almost took me out, how ever i will play around with it some more,but it's kinda hard on the cash flow as it's 10 plat for respecs for me at this point, i have manged to get some items that raise my combat art's to about 125 know. Also using buckler line my avodiance i can get up to almost 9 thousand but my mit is only about 4 thousand, i have been upgrading my armor i know have 4 pieces of the raveged set, i don't have the bp yet but still tryong to get it. Any other advice will be helpfull. Going down the str,agi, & int lines though i have noticed a big differenc in dps and i am most pleased with that..thanks all for suggesting those aa lines, at times i'm seeing hits of a bit over 2-3 thousand damage and my auto attack has taken a real big jump compared to what i was doing before.

For KoS lines I'm running this on my Guard atm:

STR 4, 4, 8
AGI 4, 4, 8, 3
STA 4, 4, 8, 8, 1
INT 4, 4

I generally don't have problems with DPS, or holding aggro. I should mention Tesh, that not all set items will be the best choices for your gear.

I've seen a shit-ton of the new set items that are just crap compared to alternatives that are easy to pickup.
