Gameplay tips and progression	I know what you're thinking, NO ROLLING?!?! Well this build primarily focuses on damage mitigation. Tower Shield and Brushwood set does exactly that and with Warding your an unstopple force. With high amounts of HP and very high defense you can take any kind of damage so there's no need for rolling. You can face opponents head on and with the great axe and its uninterruptible attack animation and knockdown you're sure to kill anything or anyone that moves or you can 2-hand mirdan hammer for that stunlock combo and also its uninterruptible R2 swing. For stat points its obvious that VIT is key. END of 40 is so that you max stamina and high carry weight. Magic of 10 so that you can learn Warding from Sage Freke. STR for Tower Shield requirements. So thats it my simple build haven't tested on PVP but I will sometime this week maybe :) Open to constructive criticism.

Ha nice try! For the record, the dark silver set is better for "damage mitigation" because it blocks a fair amount of magic damage (which goes right through warding). If you want the best tank, use OKD's armor/DS set, the DSS, and the DBS. Honestly, this is a stupid build because what you have here is obliterated by Faith builds, spellswords, mages, and BBS users. The most durable tank possible will be a faith build, period. Sorry man

it not really what you call a

TANK it doesnt seem that strong any way as youll be heavy as shit most of the time not even bein able to carry shards or anything and i agree with astrichthyes dark silver or mirdan armour will work better with tour stats that you have and aquired . no vote.
