HI,

I'm building a character who's primary SS is CON and will be running in the tank role. One of the character's secondary SS is DEX and I'm trying to decide between the two trees. I have already decided on Guardian for one of the trees.

When I look at the two trees I'm having a hard time deciding which is a better route to go. My character has two maintain attacks, one of them being the primary damage dealer/debuffer.

I've looked through Dr. Sage's spec tree guide and they both look pretty good and the guide says Vindicator is really good. I was just looking for some feedback on the two trees.

Thanks

well my opinion would be to go with vindicator since you're using dex as an ss so you can get the specs for more crit serverity along with increasing the crit chance for aoe and single moves and for the rush of battle that gives an HoT for every kill you do.

But if you're going to be a ranged tank from what I'm guessing based on your spec tree choices perhaps protector should serve better since the bulwark spec increases your threat in hybrid so you don't have to take the damage loss from being in the tank role and should allow you to tank better.

Without knowing the specifics of the build in question...between the two trees I'd go with Vindicator. It's much more versatile having offensive as well as defensive options (even a heal), has the highest flat crit severity buff in the spec trees and has ways of easily pushing your crit chance above the soft cap constantly instead of conditionally.

I'm a representative of the Underworld and I approve this message. ob

Thanks guys. This build was built by another player before the On Alert update and I haven't been able to re-locate the original creator to see his thoughts, so I re-launched it the best I could, as I loved playing it in PvE.

Here it is and thanks for the feedback...

Run in Tank role or Hybrid (haven't decided which yet)
