Stat setup help and recommendations

[shygorgon]

I am a level 55 warrior who is looking to set up my character as a tank warrior. Right now my stats are as follows: 1 1 76 1 52 1. Does anyone have any helpful ideas on how I have this setup and if it can be improved? Thanks

A tank needs high enough Vitality to survive attacks, and high enough Luck to not take critical hits from whatever monsters are attacking. Once those are satisfied, raise your Dexterity just high enough to hit the monsters, then raise Strength to give your attacks some damage.
The graveyard is perhaps the hardest place to be a tank. There, you need at least:
Vitality 60 (ideally closer to 75)
Luck 63 (ideally 66)

Because a tank needs so many stats, it's difficult to do this at level 55.
In my experience, it's fun to be a tank when you play with friends who are archers and mages, you share XP as a party, and they're careful to keep healing you so you don't die. As a lone tank, other characters tend to jump on your targets and take most of the XP and drops. It's not the end of the world, but you need patience and a mild temper.

Some of the guilds have discussed various stat combinations, which might give you some ideas.

Thanks for the tip. I was playing around on the test server a bit and I was able to find a setup that I like for now. I am now level 59 (about 15% from 60) and am getting everything I need for the setzer quest. As soon as I do that, I am going to try the raging quest. I know I sholdn't wait too long for that, but I figure once I get the setzer, I can try the test server again and setup for that quest.

Thanks again for the tip.
