well ive bought myself that 257ee plate lvl 55 and i want to make a nice tank.

and ive tought a full vita could be nice. well lmk what you think

i dont have much experience with vita tank barbs myself, but i would like to give you this on the way:

stated vita increases the defense of your armor/adds life.
but the defense on the armor only reduces the physical damage you take from your enemies hits.
it does not protect you from casters, you need int for that to reduce this damage.
same is for critical hits, dexterity will reduce this.

therefore i am skeptical towards a full vita built. but let others with experience on this built tell you what they noticed during their climb

i'd have to agree with Malte.


Imo, i wouldn't put too much in vit, i'd go 1/4-vit, 1/2 dex, 1/4 str

yes you are right. but if i have more life, im gonna be able to take more hits. but if i put some in vit some in dex and some in str , as brandon suggered, im still gonna have no defense against caster but just lower vita. and i have dex charm to help. its currently 38 to dex but im gonna check for better so ill have more defense against crit hits.

the best tankers can also kill fairly well too.

im gonna be able to kill fairly well with my 174ee club and the dex coming from my charm is gonna help me with crit hits


well i think im just going to try this. hope its good
