 Flail WarHammer

Tank

&

The Tank is melee-based build for holding the attention of the enemy. 

​

A twist on the classic Sword & Shield build, it maximizes your taunts while applying powerful Weaken and Rend debuffs to lower the damage the enemy can do to you and your team, as well as increasing the damage they receive.

 

Tank Build Pros:

  • Flail provides many Fortify effects to you and your team, whilst simultaneously weakening the enemy, making it less likely you or others in the group go down during combat

  • Armor Breaker, Sundering Shockwave and Sundering Clearout allow your warhammer to stack up to a 67% rend on the enemy, massively increasing the damage you and your teammates do to them

  • When landing Warding Bludgeon on large groups of enemies, the Crowded Bludgeon perk dramatically lowers the cooldown of the ability, allowing you to maintain a permanent taunt and 50% Fortify, making you very efficient at tanking large packs at the same time


Tank Build Cons:

  • Neither Flail nor Warhammer are particularly high DPS weapons, so if you're looking to speedrun then other tank builds may work better

  • Due to its lower damage output, careful management of your taunt abilities' (Bludgeon, Shockwave and Barrage) cooldowns is required in single-target fights in order to keep the enemy attacking you instead of your DPS or Healer
