Hey guys, I was wondering if you had a suggestion for a W/Mo tank elite, because I am usually the main tank, and I used to use Healing Hands, but I don't know if you're able to get it in factions. Anybody please!
Eeeep!

This would probably properly belong in the Warrior forums. (suggestion, erase later)

Well, I focused my axe warrior build around not an axe elite, insert gasp here, but auspicious parry. My build is:
Attributes:
Healing-8
Axe Mastery-15
Tactics-12

Skills:
Auspicious Parry{e}
Watch Yourself!
Cyclone Axe
Furious Axe
Executioner's Strike
Healing Signet (I never use it, but it is good to have in emergencies)
Live Vicariously
Ressurection Signet

This build has some pretty adrenaline dependent skills in it, furious and executioner's, and Auspicious takes care of those easily. Just spam Auspicious when being attacked and use Watch Yourself! and Cyclone Axe a lot. Whenever you have enough adrenaline, use Executioner's and Furious. I just bring Healing Sig for emergencies.

If you want to be a dmg tanker, just use Defy Pain{Elite}, and watch yourself.
This, of course does not prevent degen dmg though.

This, of course does not prevent degen dmg though. Why defy pain? It will just increase your health by a certain amount but otherwise wont help you much

Healing hands on the other hand at 8 healing (very easy to achieve) means a 21hp heal for each time you are attacked. And if you have done the kurzick elite mission, during those 10s duration you are attacked, A LOT.

This, combining with a heavy tactics build works quite well.

Don't forget, watch yourself, shields UP (vs lots of ranged) and none shall pass. You can chain cast these last two for maximum efficiency.

Riposte and dylak signet as well as endure pain for that quick heal would also help.

Note that this build pretty much composes the ultimate tanking build and does NOT focus on damage dealing. your only damage dealing is gonna be riposte.

What you could do is switch, HH with Asuspicious parry and spam your riposte for increase dmg dealing. Works moderably at maintaning agro vs melee opponents but will reduce your survivability. (trust me, there is nothing better then being attacked by 6+ opponents, hitting HH and watching your health go up. And thats every 25s with a 10 sec duration. downside? your dmg will suck)

Sorry for the late responce, the reason for defy pain, is the +20 al then the extra 20 al from watch yourself.
