Obsidian flesh tank
Pan Head
What is the best build for an obsidian flesh tank. I have tried out a few different skills but just have not found the sweet spot.
-.-
Obsidian Flesh tank just sucks. Go Primary Elementalist.
dies like fish
I use...
Obsidian Flesh
Dolyak Signet
Endure Pain
Stoneflesh Aura
Endure Pain
Glyph of Concentration
Wary Stance
Lightbringer's Gaze or Resurrection Signet (depending where you are, of course)

Okay.. if you say so.
*Makes party*
*let the eles tank with the earth ench*
*mobs use ench removal*
*ele dies*
*warrior was dmg build-up*
*monk dies*
*party dies*
*party blames the warrior*
Warriors are the only class that do not need enchs to tank, armor bonus like WY Doy and DP and stances that have "no" CD are all you need.
Get real.

Tanking is stupid.
Obsidian Flesh tanking is done with an Elementalist, who can chain Obsidian Flesh and use Earth armor buffs. No enchant removal via Obsidian Flesh is win...unless, of course, you get a Chilblains in your face...

well all of your questions have been answered Pan Head.
I shall now tell you that Warriors should not "Tank" ever. Ever.
Dealing damage? Tick
Taking damage? Sure, high AL means they are naturally resistant to attacks. And hell you can even bring Watch Yourslef in PvE as this is a very nice skill to bring. But focuss your building around dealing damage. Not Tanking.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about DoA, where tanking is in fact a viable option. I don't know if anyone's come up with a decent team builds that doesn't utilize a tank of some sort (haven't done DoA since the week it was released), but previously a Obs Flesh tank was pretty much a given.

EDIT: Obsidian Flesh tanks are not elementalists (well, not in DoA anyway), they are warriors, because you need more than just Obsidian Flesh, you need Dolyak Signet too.

ele with enchaments is dead ele,I know because I play mesmer and necro

Nibiru, don't get involved unless you know what you're talking about.
I have seen W/E successfully tank in DoA, although I'm not sure how it compares to a E/*. It can work though.

Ele with 20 less armor then warrior to tank?! please.......think what you are talking...... Point 1 - Learn how to construct a proper sentence.
Point 2 - As Yanman said, you're a pian in the a** in the Assassin section as well
Point 3 - An elementalist can "tank" (bah tanking is dead) much, much better than a warrior can. Warrior SHOULD NOT TANK EVER. (tbh I don't really know about DoA - but then again I don't give a monkeys bollocks about it either as PvE is not my thing.
Point 4 - Tanking is dead. The new AI makes enemies go for...guess who...casters yay! Tanking is stupid. End of. The only "exception" maybe DoA BUT it is probably a long, slow and arduous task. As I've said before, I am no expert at DoA. But I am possitive that Earth elementalists makes better "tanks".
Point 4 - I do not mean to sound offensive, but I want to drill into your skull my points. I hope you can take these on board.

Good build,but only for tanking...damage? I don't see damage.
Like Tan Blademaster said: "tanking is stupid"

As many have said, tanking is virtually worthless in Guild Wars. However, in the elite area Domain of Anguish tanks are still extremely prevalent and incredibly useful for thier ability to body block and pull large groups of absurdly powerful enemies to choke points where they can be nuked. I typically use the following build.
Signet of Stamina
Endure Pain (can be kept up constantly against Margonite mobs)
Obsidian Flesh
Armor of Earth
Stoneflesh Aura
Ward Against Foes
Wary Stance
Glyph of Concentration
The build can be more effective based on area, this is what I use in Ravenheart's Gloom to allow me to block Savage Shot and the effects of Broadhead Arrow. If you become dazed stop casting until it is removed or wears off.

Now, I'm assuming you're going to move critical chop in the spot previously occupied by Evisicrate? You can't have Obsidian Flesh on the bar, too. Two elites. qvtkc

It's just that every time someone says "Elementalists can tank better than warriors" I tend to remember something that happened in Eternal Grove... We had an ele who claimed to be able to "tank". Sure, he was invincible for the first part of the mission. Then the afflicted came, and he got pwnt by their rangers in no time. Also there are other ways to disenchant without targeting directly with a spell. Order of Apostasy and Avatar of Grenth etc. Well as said, tanking is kind of stupid, but needed/beneficial in a few (very few) areas. I don't know, but warriors and eles can use Obsidian Flesh efficiently, it depends on other things which profession is best for the occasion.

only 2 places to actually "tank" in this game now are The Deep and DoA.
w/e obsidian flesh tanks are in high demand in DoA...eles cant tank! snapple
Logan Staal agrees.

Did not know it was going to start a debate if is wa a good idea or not. Seems to me it must be a good idea or there would not be so many GP's wanting them.

Guineapig, I have no idea where you plan to use that build, but it misses the mark. Thomas's and Coloneh's are more on point.
On that note, I've seen some tanks bring Ward Against Foes to keep the mobs from breaking aggro before they get AoE'd to death. Something to consider anyway.

all i can say is: dude, plz dont!

Please don't what?
