Tanking with Barbarians

Barbs. as you can probably tell, is a tank. They can use AoE (Area Of Effect) to kill mobs around them. If you are a high lvl you can tank bosses and take aggro. (distraction....they attack YOU). Barbarians have a lot of health which gives them the ablilty to do this. Any questions about Tanking. Reply.

I know for a fact that sins are beast at tanking almost as good as barbs. A known fact i was in a group with 2 sins a barb and my BM and the sins were tanking more than the barb. it was scary affraid

but yes barbs are one of the better tanks cause of the health. BUT!!!! Sins are good cause of the Dex

Ahahahahah.. I'm sorry, but I disagree very much about the Assassins being a good tank. Pretty much an Assassin is like the Rouge, very quick, very sneaky, and do a good amount of damage. The ONLY reason why someone should EVER say an Assassin is a tank, is if they're mostly a vitality + dexterity Assassin, which I know many Assassins that are only pure dexterity, which means they don't have much health because their lack if vitality and cannot tank very well.
I'm sorry, but an Assassin should not be counted on for being a tank.
Also, if you ever see an Assassin that is doing a better job tanking than a Barbarian, it is possibly because that Barbarian is a lower level than the Sin, or the Barbarian is going for more of a strength and dexterity build as in he wont have much vitality and not as much health, OR that Assassin has a build of vitality which gives him/her more health.
Just my opinion on things, goodluck ^^

Imho if a sin is better at tanking than a barb (of same lvl) they both screwed up their builds. The assassin willhave too much vit and probably could kill a fly damage-wise. The barb wont have enough vit and cant take a fly crashing into his foot, HP-wise.
Assassins are very convenient when some1 else is tanking, cause they make sure the boss dies just a little bit faster.
