Hi again =p I've decided to be force-cold-bicheon.
What skills are the best for me to get in order to be a good tanker?

errrr. cold?

you will need the phys damage buffs and the mag defence buff tbh. You will already have stellar defence with garms + shield, why get more phys def >_>

IMO go 90 fire 90 force 90 bich 30 cold.

but if you'r edeadset on ice just get the imbue + the might guard, book 2 lvl 1 of snow (about) and the passive, get the nova's if you want to.

but srsly. much better pve and pvp is force fire blader with 30 cold. you will see how slowly you kill in pve with the ice imbue, debuffs cant be casted on everything.

But I mainly want to be a tanker\PvP tanker.

you'll be a tank no matter what. without fire you'll get hit much harder from INT's too. PvE tanking? lmao, an int s/s can be a pve tanker too. pve isn't hard to tank. Bladers almost never die in PvE with good gear.

Since we are talking tanking.. it is a fact that you got the Force passive, nomatter what you will be managing the lvl 30 Snowshield cold 30 gets you, even without your Ice protection there is nothing of your gear level that can kill you fast enoug ( except for me ) I would pvp my best mate's Sun force +6 geared blader for 20 mins and over until I chain those crits with my +5 sword right Than he would pvp Alps' Sun+7 2H full sun warrior and kill him in 5 mins lol. Dont forget the Knockdowns too.

Ok then, PvP tanker only.
My mag. defense is already high because I use garm.. So more phy def. wouldn't hurt.
Snow shield lvl 80=50% MP absorption.. I'll NEVER die with that.
And I wanna be able to kill, but mostly tank.
I wanna be able to have like, 30 mins fights.
Or when killing uniques, to be the 1 all the mobs hit and he never dies.

50% snowshield is overkill...you'll run out of mp. Im a 73 blader going 90bich 90fire 90 force 30ice and lvl 30 snowshield is good enough and with this my mp runs out sometimes in pvp. i think another good blader would be 90 ice 90 fire 90 bich 30 light....good defenses with snowshield and ice imbue to use against warriors get them frozen so they cant swing that 2h so much and crit...

So 30 ice will do the trick? And stick to 90 fire 90 force?

fire blader : high dmg and u use more hp pots then ice bladers...
ice blader : decent dmg , best effect , snow shield and u wont die as quick as fire bladers...

yes 30 ice is good enough if you are doing a force blader. If you decide to go 90 ice, take 90 fire as well and use fire imbue in regular pvp and pve so you will actually be able to kill...use ice on those euro tanks like warriors...and use your status effect chains. you will be very annoying lol...leveling is so slow though so dont get in a hurry....

90 fire, 90 force, 90 bich, 30 cold
Ints are the ones that pack the punch. You already have enough hp to stand against a full str. Thats why you should wear garment, and get fire.
