How to become a turtle tank as SM?

[Xergon]

Mix 1~5. find balance between them.
toughness help surviving stun. 700
armor is not that important cuz high parry.
3.5k

sometimes offense is best defense in SC.
cc rdps so they can't dps comfortably.
wods when you feel focused.

and stay in heal range.
it's not like knight, put vigilance and do whatever.
SM buff/debuff constantly to survive.

isn't it already mentioned in this thread though?

Anyway, SM can not become a def tank as kotbs....SM is only worth for sub tank and off tank....

I have Knight RR 80 and when i rolled SM at 50 RR in Ruin i was feeling much stronger than on my Knight, avoidance levels, bubbles, self heals are simply sick on SM.

its impossible.. knight has 50% mitigation skill and the resist of SM is got suck.

SM seems good for high population fight due to the high avoidance, but actually its not.

SM with ruin is better than RR80 kotbs with which kind of gear?

Share your SM build please.

Who cares about 50% mitigationl when you can block/parry/disrupt attack completely, besides on Knight you can use Vigilance every 30s which means you have 20s window w/o that buff, while on SM you can keep super high avoidance levels all the time.

Thanks alot.

OIC, are u using Snb? w/o 2H WoDs, we cant reach the ultimate avoidance.

What do u think about being defensive tank as SM who should use Snb or 2H?

I have been using the build of prefect defense and calming wind for reaching 100 parry and 100 disrupt.

However, with low mitigation, i will also die instantly.

To be honest, high avoidance have a magical effect for offering u an immortal life in a short time.

Anyway, both mitigation and avoidance are important.

The main point is how to get a balance between them.
