well going by your stats, your raising a well rounded tank, but this is only gonna get you so far, lol now is the time to pick, a MT pally or a regular grp pally...and since your going crusader right?.


__Crusader can be a solo or group/back up tank mc, The requiremenst for it are 200 strength, 125 dexterity, 500 cms spent, Religious Zeal 4, and Glorious Cry 4. It gives you str max +50, hp max +500, OF mod +2. The mcas you get from it are Crusader's Aura, which is a heal that heals your entire group everytime that you are struck. Erollisi's Favor, which gives you a 30% charisma modifier on your heals. __


id say, get your Str 250 ish, then raise your dex to the 125(try to buy this mostly in cms if you can dont pass 125, id say the dex gizmo on a tank is pointless, and the only reason heros have dex is so they have that 'chance' to hit higher.

then raise STA, this is gonna be your main stat so get this semi high. now isthe time to choose if you want any wis, for wis is your resist but on a pally it is also a nuke modifier for your undead spells. i suggest get atleast 150wis base and stop there with the TPS, now raise it up with CMS. now your PROC spells are CHA modified, so if you want to have a decent PROC hit get CHA decent...at least 150, then raise it with CMS...or go even higher with the base, its up to you, for its your heal modifier as well, but how many times are you gonna need to heal yourself?

now a 60pallys stats, now im gonna only guess, but from what ive read and typed down it should look like this..now these are just bases


Sta-350--just raise this one up,lol its your main power pool.

Str-200--this is your regualr DMG, since oyu cant quad and have no 'good' direct attacks its not needed, so just raise it with cms and as few TPS as you can, so you can do decent DMG,and it modifies your taunt, but to really use this youll have to raise it as in the high 300s.but with your heals you needed worry about losing aggro to much lol.

Agi-250--This will help you take hits a little better.

Dex-125--- Max 150, PLZ do not get your dex any higher, its a waste lol.

Wis-200---this is your undead DMG,so you might want it higher.

Cha-250-higher if oyu want a higher PROC abd heal, its all up to you, but a CHa of 250 is not that bad to be at.

now you might want something higher, i was jsut going by a rough scetch, but nontheless your pally at 60 should look something if not higher in stats like this exp. i rally hope i helped lol, i dont have a pally so i had to do some homework lol.

alright if anyone wants to disagree with me about the dex thing, i just wanna add this...a SK and Pally get only the DBL strike right? and a war gets the quad, so if it rarely works on a tank that hits 4 times, its gonna be even suckier on a tank that hits only twice...sure youll get a higher hit sometimes but are you willing to add something on a 'sometimes'?


Edit:T, Cel and Shad(and whoever else has a tank past 50+) can yous list down your tanks base stats plz. because i wanna see if the 'suggested' stats i listed are exactly helpfull. becasue i thinnk i listed to put WAY to much agi for a base lol.



RE:Edit: Alright since theres all this talk about pallys i dug up this post on pallys, this was a toon who had a idea for a support only pally let me know what you think about this, now remember this toon would be Pl'd to 60 and only used for this emergency alone(when tank needs this) here it is...



I've got an idea for a Pally. Mostly for support, which in every raid, you'll need. Don't go too hard on me with comments, it's only an idea.
Okay, so I know a Pally is a tank an all, but, I believe with the right gear, they can be sick supports. Here's the idea: Start off with an Eru Pally, build normally. As you reach 55+ add to cha, much as you can/think you can. The idea here is to be able to max it, as best you can. The idea in this is to be able to take care of heals, so the MHs don't have to, and so there's a lesser need for healers.
Next step, which is our path, is to follow the AC line. This will help those who can't protect themselves so well (i.e. Casters and some Melee) And it'll add on to the tanks AC if called for.
Now comes for the MC, this will sound strange, but bear with me. Go Scholar. In this, you can keep the MT going, because, as a lot of you know, most defenders don't have too good of a powerpool.



I personally dont think this is a bad idea.
