Hi I'm new to the game and I basically got all i could out of the Miniguide, blockign FW freezes and whatnot proved invaluable.

But what of the later levels? I'm soon going to hit the level 10 bracket and I'd love to get some sort of guidelines on what skills to pick, So far Shield Bash and Chain caught my eye, but I didn't' spend anything on them yet.


Any tips from the russian veterans?

Best Tank build is: doesn't matter; hold magic wall.
Yep. Hold magic wall even in melee fights. You can block melee attacks with it for your teammates.
Hold that ish, and don't die by blocking power attacks, and bringing along a priest.

There is no Optimal tank build IMO.
The skills are somewhat lack luster, they depend on your teammates no matter what in the end.

There is this guys build: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JATgym2pSw8

water or fire runes only and learn how to play, how to use magic shiled right.
Tank is the best class in game in my opinion. After some time it will be second you.
