Fear Me! is also fine, but it's better to have 13 tactics for that instead of 12.

PvE or PvP?

For PvE Beonnetti's Defense is awesome.

watch yourself is one of THE KEY skills for pve with a big party...

It hits many members at once for a very nice dmg reduction bonus. at such low adrenaline, you don't need high tactics either to make it last.

If your tactics is 10 or higher, then Bonetti's Defense is THE skill for you. You can farm with it practically forever and at such high tactics, it's 8a charge will easily be done before or just as it runs out.

That skill also makes you the warrior nobody likes since you WANT to charge headfirst into mobs and get ALL of them on you. This tactics stance won't be appreciated till you see what it does to 5 lava golems pounding on your skull.

I like to spam "watch yourself" and "shields up". Shout are awesome... in PvE.

Tactics is really a defensive attribute line. I would recomend it solely for watch yourself and bonetti's defense.

Yeah, I was just in a party that just completed the Dunes bonus by splitting up the party 2/4, The two were my W/Me and a monk, who stayed behind to defend against the second wave, while the other four went out to kill bosses. I had Bonetti's Defense punched the whole time and with the monk at my back was able to tank 7 enchanted swords/hammers for several minutes, without breaking much of a sweat.

It's really a great skill. In fact, IMO, the Tactics line allows you to tank far better than anything a W/Mo gets from his secondary.

If you were an axe warrior i'd suggest ViM, however... gladiators defence is good for soloing certain mobs, such as giants.
