As someone who enjoys group play, I don't find any use in having a tank unless your count spirit spammers and minion masters. There are likely already "running" builds for assassins on PvX and stuff for speed clears.

Well one thing... tanks do not need to deal damage. Why is 4, 5, and 7 in there? Makes no sense. Also you could just go A/D maybe and go with Conviction or something for the attack blocker.

I would say because crit strike keeps crit defese up 100% so 75% block + shroud when under 50% for an additional 75% which would make for a 93% block chance I think which is prity good.
No it doesn't.

The 75% block chance is just an example of two 50% block chances multiplicatively added to each other. It even says in the first sentence that there is no cap.

Dont forget the armor still isnt there. A lot of areas are going to eat though the little dmg reduction from shadow form. Should block quite a bit of incoming, but still lacks armor buffage in order to "tank."

ok so iused to have blinding defense or watever in there but i need to get glyph in there the reason for 457 is to be able to keep up crit defense as some1 said. conviction might work but only 50% chance. wiht crit agility in there thats also another enchant for -5 damage reduction so you have a total of 20 damage reduction 75% chance to block and no spells can target you. so you pretty much invincible. i was testing yesterday and found out that i almost dont need 4 and 5 so you could always put in something like silver armor with zealous dags of enchanting. i was able to tank a medium size mob pretty well havent tried hm yet.
