About the Tank sub-tree

Tank (a.k.a. Guardian) is the dedicated front-line role — shield-block scaling, heavy-armour proficiency, Earth Aura, Shockwave, Bash. Soloing as Tank means slower kills but near-immortality; in co-op you eat the boss aggro while your DPS team works. Pair with Battlemage for cross-tree resilience or Warrior for a damage upgrade.
