Who's the best 2h-Tank?

[dalinvar]

Hey guys wanted to try something new and thought about a dps tank. I'm not a veteran so I decided to ask.

Who are the top dps-tank on RoR? I prefer 2h but if any SnB is not a problem at all

From what i read on topics looks like Chosen and IB

[Penril]

Not Chosen.

It is between BG, IB and SM imho. My vote goes to BG.

SM

The best 2H dps tank is SM imo, thanks to WoDS, the 2 spirit debuffs and Ether dance.
Best at both defense and offense, and not particularly hard to master or limitating, unlike BG or IB.

[Penril]

But lacks AoE snare like a BO/IB/KotBS/BG, a superpunt like IB/BG/KotBS/Chosen, and even a KD if you go for a Khaine/Hoeth spec (for the strong double spirit debuff).

That's my boy!

Has less conventionally-tanky 'stuff' than the BG, that's true, but it depends what the OT means by 'best'.

Where SM has the edge in damage, other off tanks got more utility.

[Penril]

In my experience, you can't do damage if you are CC'd. On my BO, I HATE when enemies keep punting me around and I can't do the same to them . On my Chosen, I love superpunting SMs away from the fight

BG can do the same, and they can arguably do more damage as well assuming their targets use Detaunt. Because Anti-detaunt.

OP is asking for the best dps 2h tank, and it that respect my choice would be SM -- spirit damage is no joke when you spec into it. Obviously there are other factors about what works best in the team role from a 2h perspective, but for pure damage probably SM.
