Personal thoughts, not alot of research just a general opinion but it think it goes like this...

Chosen - Ironbraker - Knight - Blackguard - Black orc - Swordmaster

Chosen Ironbreaker are the heavy keep defense tanks
Then knight blackguard are the heavy keep offense tanks
Then black orc swordmaster are the roaming tanks

Bubble sm hands down is the most hard to take down , parry, buble, wall of darting steel ,,,, Bg is and can be though but nowhere as sword master can be (rememberme style sms holding his ground agaisnt 3 or 4 players alone is a feat few other tanks can do).

my personal list is , buble sm , full turtle chosen , bg, ib, ktbo , the most soft of all the tanks is the black orc ,

Just a plug on the Black Orc

For pve with lots of mobs, the. Black Orc is really good with its can't hit me block ability running the action point gain and loud mouth tactics to trigger off your da toughest warbellow. Basically you can tank about 40 level 40 mobs solo with no heals and continue to suck em all in like a vacuum cleaner with your loudmouth.......However this build I can't really find a good use for in rvr as the block ability halves your movement making you unable to keep up with your guarded target to help midigate that guard damage, and all that chonk chonk chonk noise, no one is gonna hit ya. Also you still can tank the keep lord fairly well with high strength stacks in S&B, just run ya defensive tactics.

At the end of the day I feel that the Black Orc in rvr is the squishiest tank as all it's avoidance is set in stone and does not get boosted with abilities past the good wif shield 10%tactic and what you go in rr points. However you are handy as all hell with your thumping big hits with tree hit combo, your 'not in da face' timer increaser and that aoe snare bot with big brawling.

u mean da greenest maybe, because with DT triggering each 10 secs its the worst of the bellows to go around with loudmouth .

Da Toughest still triggers Loudmouth throughout the 10 second interval, it's only the wounds buff you receive that doesn't refresh until the 10 second buff timer has finished.

^^Is correct. Hence why you can use Loudmouth while PvE farming quite effectively...
