Only bad people need a tank for FoW.

IF you really wish to run a tank in FoW then you only need two ele skills.

Obsidian Flesh and Grasping Earth, you can run an axe build with cyclone axe to power up Bonneti's Defence.

Keep in mind this build is not the best for FoW, but it is effective if your party knows how to work it. You pull and agro letting foes waste there primary attacks on you while your party moves in and mops up.

Good luck

Obsidian Flesh is a great skill, but its a slow way to play the game.

To run a Obsidian Flesh tank your party must have patience to wait for you to agro, then move into range, heal you, pick the high priority target, kill target, pick next, ect...

Now with the skills available a party can just rush in and obliterate everything before a single party member is at 50% hp.

Why would you want to use a tank in FoW?

The obsidian build is from long before Factions/nightfall/GWEN/PVE skills.

It was used when you didn't have the means to wipe a mob in 10 seconds.

Re-read the last line before you post.
