Fighter Tips?

[lynnl87]

Ok, I've been reading a lot over fighters and tanking. In every game I've played, I've been a tank (ogre warrior on Sarryn during EQ, Protection spec warrior on WoW, Lord Knight on Rag, etc etc) so I generally know what to do during tanking. I can't decide on this game though. I know endurance is good for the tank, but it leaves little to help during solo times. I've read the builds that say do 25 SPR or 1Str:1End, but I can't decide which would be more beneficial. So far here is what I can figureout.

Pro of Full End: More hp/Shield block/Defense(while small, still there.)
Con of Full End: Lack in crit or damage, forced to party more often.

Adding 25 SPR then rest END: More crit/Magic Defense
Con: 25 less End added? I dunno.

I just need help figuring pro's and cons of each possibility and then choosing which seems best for my playing style. Any help would be appreciated ^^

Im a full end fighter and really, I find it easy to solo, sure I cant take orange monsters or red ones, but green ones I can, I keep all the loot, sell it all, and make a profit while still stocking up on full stones. The block rate is useful and critical at moments *rather take no damage then deal a little more with crit*

As for magic defence...magical monsters are easy to kill, sure they can take off a lot of damage, but mages can tank for that, plus magical monsters have lower hp, meaning less time fighting. A few points in mdef is minor on taking away damage.

Well i have a 48 fighter on Teva my build is 15str 38end at the moment. At 60 it will be 15str 40end 10spr. I have no problem soloing orcs in uruga without even useing a stone. As far as tanking in a pty this build has been working extreamly well for me so far. When i was 44 i droped a 49 fighter in a GW without much trouble. So either this other fighter really sucked or my build is working really well. For main tanking or soloing i use shield and 1hs, when im in a pty and not the main tank i use a axe for max damage output. Gota love aim scrolls and a ggk +19 dex axe to offset the poor aim on a axe.
