Please note that I put points into Death Blow but didn't have it slotted on the image of my PVP build! 29:20 This was due to me using Death Blow previously but simply forgot to edit the correct specializations in. There was bound to be a mistake in a video that's over an hour! For the PVP Build, please take points OUT of Death Blow (Obv IF you decide not to use it) and instead choose the 5% Counter Barrier Dmg Increase, as well as the Damage Increase of Ascending Slash IF you are to have Gaia Crash equipped instead! Furthermore, under Base Stats - I believe what was listed there included some standard gear you obtain by leveling. You should aim for 34 Strength, and 30 Perception as soon as you hit 50 (no gear included) Apologies!
@@JackoffeeTV Also appreciating your tank guides for the dungeons ALOT! One thing tho, do you have a favorite or prefered selection of armor pieces for pve? Im struggling to decide what to go for 🥲
Hey man great guide, a lot of your ideas I have been implementing myself (although through much trial and error lol) it’s so nice to have a solid guide for people that want to join the gigatank crew 💪
Hello for trait portion of the video. I got confused because the suggested trait to prioritize are melee evasion and range evasion. But you also mention that we should build endurance for end game because everyone one would have the proper hit by end game. Can you explain this? Thank you!
@@dxresuello When you get all your blue gear most of it will have evasion on it. You can level up those traits as you begin to farm for epics. Once you find your epic pieces you can transfer your blues and get blessing from those traits. At that point when you farm your purple gear you will trait them with endurance instead.
Yeah but considering you're usually in a party of 6. Huge diminishing returns over Davinci's or Stalwart. And again, the content at this time just doesn't call for it.
Do you have footage of mob managment in a dungeon? I was really struggling keeping enemies on me while gathering others. I also felt like sometimes i wouldnt be able to gather enemies bc i had no skills left. Great vid by the way.❤
@@botdog78 my channel has videos of me running through every dungeon. Just check them out under the GigaChad playlist. I walkthrough the pathing and you can see my gameplay there!
@@MigZenkai focus on ranged and melee evasion. Also because you'll replace them fairly quickly just unlock traits anytime you get the same item. Your goal is to gain as much blessing for when you transfer to purple. Also thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Yo man, thank you for the guide it made me see clearly through how to play as a tank. one question, as level 50 i can't reach the 40 STR & 30 Perception on base stats, am i missing something ?
@@DubWave_Official No i made the mistake and counted some gear in. Put 34 Str and 30 Per as base. Obtain the end game stats per your gear drops. And I'm happy it helped!
Thank you for bringing this to my attention! Bound to get something wrong in edit with a guide this long. I'll make a pinned post! As mentioned in the video, you can sub Gaia Crash for Death Blow and use those points. If I were to take Death Blow out, I would instead put points into increased damage for Counter Barrier, and Increased Damage for Ascending Slash!
@@botdog78 The exact same. The boss tree of SnS just doesn't provide worth enough stats at this time. Food can more than compensate for any hit you may be missing against bosses.
@@rcoelhoo The first build I mentioned I would recommend for PVE.. You can certainly go more aoe damage such as using annihilating slash and having your taunt do damage through the specialization. In regards to item builds from the link I sent I just follow Kanons itemization. Will do more than enough in PVE.
No, the shield block chance is for when you wear the SnS. Which is why I mentioned at the start that you will be wielding that primarily. For GS, you are primarily using Counter Barrier for the counter attack.
So when it comes to world boss it says depending on your contribution depends on the reward you get but as a solo tank I don’t do much damage so if everyone else is doing more damage than me how can I get that epic loot
@@Zoretsu You bring up a valid concern. I have no idea what they base their contributions off of, but I do swap to a more damage oriented tank to be safe. I think it's based more on uptime and whether you die. Your taunt can also do damage when you specialize it. Just swap chain hook for annihilating slash. You got options to do damage as pure tanking becomes difficult when you have other tanks there pulling aggro as well.
What about Paladin build tho? Been running this for dungeons. Damage is extremely low but death doesn't exist. If you can juggle then you can also be the tank AND the parties off-heal. Good players will barely ever need healing tho. Only issue is CC, but a lot of people run GS Dags anyway.
@@rustedhands1379 Until the PVE side of the game actually becomes difficult and not a pure tank and spank than I can see this being useful.. If we get actual mechanics tied to damage taken, no reason to sacrifice the damage at this time. Sure. You can be unkillable, but you pretty much are anyway.
When you talk about base stats you say 40 strength and 30 perception but caonly have 49 points to spend and after 30 it costs 2 points. Im not sure what im missing
@@JackoffeeTV Thanks man!! I went ahead and pitty crafted fury also. But don't you think that the passive of provoke is goated? now I'm heavily regretting my decision and I fully traited it :(
You really glossed over how incredibly good is Provoking Roar in pvp... Forcibly swapping ppl 's target to you in large scale or even arenas is amazing. That can be slotted instead of Gaia crash. The mayhem you can do dashing in a bunch of backline ranged with provoking roar and counter barrier can't be understated.
@@JackoffeeTV it's a bit different play style, but suits gvg a bit more I think where you trade some DMG potential for control, and protection of your back line. I play a bit more battlefield control than assassin and it's been paying off well for sns/gs.
How did you manage to have have 30 in PER and 40 in STR with the 49 stat points? I could only do 40 in STR and 23 in PER. And I only have 12 in DEX and 10 in WIS.
You are correct. That is a mistake and may have included some gear. You will want 34 Strength and 30 Perception. The bonus hit from perception is really needed early. Forgive my mistake!
Well i kinda went into the game blind and picked sns and wand and now i feel gimped. Not one point and click stun that works how i want apart from sleep which can a bit awks... 😂
@@ayameyashida9333 there is an entire section on the rotation where I describe how to tank. Also I've made tank guides for every dungeon on my channel walking through optimal pathing and tanking tips. So feel free to browse there.
dude your pvp build is bad first off all you dont get counter barier 5% dmg buff and you chose vilent brow one wich is 2 sec only while counter barrier is for the full duration ... and my friend where is you ascending slash specialization ?????? Over all you dont need range for Precision Dash if you have played the game a lot you will know at second phase of the skill you will cath anybody .
Part of the reasons I made the guide was to hear others opinions! I made the mistake of having Death Blow specialized but not in the PVP Build page. Mistake bound to happen in a guide over an hour long. I would take the Death Blow Points out and sub it for the Damage Increase of Ascending Slash and and Inc Damage on Counter Barrier! So thank you! The points out of Death Blow fit perfectly there! In regards to Precision Dash, the reason I prefer the long range is at higher ranks you will get CC'ed mid dash and the range helps to prevent that. That being said I appreciate you sharing!

Tornado combined with SnS roar is honestly one of best AOE skill combos on the game. Don't sleep on it for farming and clearing mobs in dungeons.

For the mastery section. If were not interested in pvp what would you reccomend for the sword and shield tree?
@@botdog78 The exact same. The boss tree of SnS just doesn't provide worth enough stats at this time. Food can more than compensate for any hit you may be missing against bosses.
What build would you recommend for PVE? I´m seeing a lot of builds on the website but don´t know which one to follow up.

Does counterbarrier actually work (as in give you block chance) while wielding your greatsword? I assumed you needed to have your SNS out
No, the shield block chance is for when you wear the SnS. Which is why I mentioned at the start that you will be wielding that primarily. For GS, you are primarily using Counter Barrier for the counter attack.
@@JackoffeeTV Awesome! Was just a little confused because you had your GS equipped when you were demonstrating the skill
@@09Drdray I noticed while i was finishing editing. Was way too lazy to redo it :P
Tanks are ALWAYS big babies to babysit. DDs are a spectrum that ranges between trash and godly being and healers are babysitters.

Great guide, but i'll still go with my sns wand build,
@@mnrd6089 still a great choice!
How do you have 40 STR, 20 DEX, 10 WIS, 30 PER without gear?
Only to get 40 STR you need 40 points of 49 possibles....
Yep - that was a mistake on my end. You should aim for 34 strength and 30 perception, and build the end game stats I mentioned with gear. Apologies!
Hey great video man, what sword would be better for sns/gs? Duke's fury or Duke's provoke? Thanks!
@@MarioBermudez-jy2rt I use Duke's Fury for its PVP application as well.
@@JackoffeeTV would you replace Dukes fury with Adentus' Greatsword if you could?

FYI link to build is broken.
mann i can't play on classic mode😔
Pain now. Glory Later. Learn it!
You can use the ALT button to bring up your cursor when you need it instead like i do
actual pro tip, never build evasion, go straight to endurance. its a waste of time and lucent. no reason to ever go evasion as a tank
@@AWhiteKidCanDance solid point. Evasion just comes naturally through the resistant gear. But the move to epics should always center toward endurance.
So does endurance actually do anything against mobs and bosses in PVE? Or is it just PVP only?
Ya you will be noticbly tankier. It lowers your maximum and minimum crit damage recieved@rodcon75025
So hard on controller
SnS Wand is the superior tank. SnS GS is a hybrid.
T(h)ank!
Now go out there and SPANK!
