    Default Cleric Tank Build?

    What do you all think of that build?
    All they that take the sword, shall perish with the sword.

    Pretty much identical to what im going for, however if your willing to miss out on the end root abilites of justicar i see some taking a few points out (Doc. of Bliss since Valiance is superior and humility if you dont pvp) and put extra 3 into purifier for another instant heal.

    I'd personally prefer to go for something like this:-

    http://rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=10...sVee0oo.Mfd.Vg

    By putting the points in Purifier soul, you get additional armour after heals (which you're doing constantly) additional parry from the 5% wisdom, and a larger shield.

    If you'd rather keep 14 points in the Shaman soul for the mana regen from Ageless ice, I'd be putting 5/5 into Overwhelming, rather than Unyeilding, due to the healing bonus.

    it's the other way around.

    valiance is crap, DoB is superb.

    valiance with a two hander and full stack of convictions heals less than dob, cost 4 convictions, and a crap load of mp. In your usual snb gear it hits for less than the shield attack...

    also you forget that each point into justicar =1% extra armor.

    and if you are worried about threat 51lvl skill seems to offer a cheaper alternative than DoL while offering some utility as well.

    although i don't advocate full 51point builds unless for something like raid boss tanking (where each 1% matters), imo the best points to lose are valiance and light makes right. If you are willing to lose the root of humility (which is good in case you need to grab a runner or a wayward mob) then i don't even see the purpose of putting humility at all, single target snare is laughable for a pve tank.

    the aboeve are 5 free points to spent as you see fit.

    The consensus on most of the threads is that 51 points in Justicar isn't necessary. Most builds are 44 or 47 Just, which gives you a few more to put into Pur for wisdom and buffing your shield.
