New warrior - builds/strategies?

[Akia]

Hello Warrior community!

Before I start I'd like to say that I haven't had time to sort through all the different posts. And the ones I have looked at, are confusing...to much abbreviations going on...

So, I was hoping for some help!

I'd like to build a straight defensive tank for dungeons and only dungeons. As my server seems to have a lack of them.

I understand that I will really only need two roles? one for soaking up melee dmg and one for soaking up magic dmg?

With that being said....if anyone can post some helpful builds and strategies that would be most appreciated.

My first thoughts are this.

Role 1) Paladin / Warlord / Riftblade
Role 2) Void Knight / Reaver / Riftblade

No clue if those are good combo's, looked good at first glance.

Thanks for any help, I'll check back on this before I create my new Warrior.

Kruunch's build works great, can really vouch for it.

What would I prioritize for stats?

1) toughness
2) +hit
3) strength

??

or endurance instead of strength?

Depends for which peice of content.

Levelling up, you'll find Strength and Endurance are what make the most difference.

At L50, you will want 50 Toughness and 50 Hit (for T1s). Strength and Endurance remain your top stats (pre Experts).

For T2s you'll want 100 Toughness and 150 Hit. At this point (into the T1s) you will start glomming on to Strength, +Block, +Parry, +Dodge (pretty much in that order unless the +Block far exceeds the +Strength). Endurance will come with items and certain rune slots (i.e. Boots) ... mitigation/avoidance is generally more important.

For raids (T3) you will want 150 Toughness and 200 Hit. Your stat priorities may shift a bit from +block to +parry/dodge as your block starts hitting the 75% range.

For the upcoming content (T4 raids) you will want 200 Toughness and 300 Hit. I'm not sure yet where the stat priorities might change to yet.
