No, heroes cannot tank to save their lives. No matter what you do, they will always move around and break aggro, but I guess that shouldn't be a problem for a smiter.
Still, you'd have to control all their actions which can get (i suppose) a little annoying. You could try it but I doubt it'd be very successful.

Only works when you tank. Mircoing a tank is far too hard

OIC. If the heroes can't do the job, how if an Ele do the tank? Will 12 Protection Prayers too low? Maybe Obsidian Flesh can do Spell Breaker's job.

Basically any caster or char with 4 regen "should" be able to do it easily. Use the same skills as the rt/mo minus vwk and vengeful weapon. Bring that same smiter so you have spellbreaker. Smite bonds is enough to kill enemies. If you are an ele you could use obsidian flesh too to help.

Two problems.
1. I don't think you'll be able to take all take to 0.
2. No offense

My friend tried an Ele build using Obsi Flesh/Stoneflesh Aura/Armor of Earth.
It worked from the tanking point of view, but was only dealing 1 dmg from the smites, because of the damage reduction.

I did it with an ele, but not the terra tank, just take the rt build and alter vwk and vw to obs flesh, glyph of swiftness. works fine, make sure to take all the non energy regen armor off though.

Thanks all of you, guys, I'm going to try it out with my Ele.
