What's the Tank Build in Fractured?
-
Hello, I'm new to the game and I wish to know which race / build is good for Tanking for PVE/PVP
-
@Koui None of us really know that as of yet, as the game is stlll in its Alpha testing stage. However, from spotlight articles the tank types for each races are "NHEEDRA (BEAR-KIN)" for the Beastman, "HELLFIRE DEMONS (INFERNALS)" for the Demons, and Humans are just jack of all trades.
Beastman are Primary PVE, and Demons are Primary PVP.

Mage and OP it to the point of making tanks pointless...just like all the other games. Lol.

You already got the answer to the races so I do not have to go there anymore. I would say tanks will benefit most from Warfare (melee) and Abjuration (protection) schools but nothing stops you to mix schools and abilities even more. Perhaps taking abilities from school of Restoration makes you more like a paladin type of tank with healing spells. You can read more about the abilities and schools from here: Feature Spotlight #4
Also attributes somewhat determines your role, therefore, using points especially for constitution is recommend. In addition, perhaps strength and charisma will be useful as well.

If you want look on spells currently in game: Schools of Magic, Schools of Fighting

I'm confused how you'll make Mage good when the current meta of 100% magic resistance + 100% ice resistance will negate a mage to do no damage in pvp.
if you're talking about PvE. current mage is only good if their is a fire nearby and they still are equal to melee in dps.

If they actually end up leaving those 100% resistances in the game, they will definitely be the first thing that everyone runs to. So, hopefully they will be adjusting those skills when they start to do their balancing.

Hello! As others have said, it is still early in the actual playable build right now so it is difficult to answer your question, there are still many features that are still to be implemented such as the talent trees and also heavy armor, as well as the racial traits. In the current state, melee was pretty OP in pvp, there is definitely a use for tanky builds in the game.

@Ostaff So basically it means choosing race is important for the PVE / PVP style? what things (skills or buff) determines it?

currently there are no plans on making a different skill between PVE vs PVP. They all use the same exact skills. With that said, other than RACE, the determining factors for a Tank build will be High Con, High Str and Skills (which do not know but a very small fraction of them at the moment, so it does no good to mention them here.)
Basically, what @Tuoni stated a few messages above.

The Fractured concept is three different planets for three different playstyles. To understand better what is planned I recommend to go to the news section and read all the seven Spotlight Series to get the base knowledge how the game is going to work. Start from this one: Feature Spotlight #1

Choosing a race will definitely be imnportant, and will affect the way you can build your character up to a deegree.
If you are not min maxer, you are more then able to chose your race by the looks, and social factors though.
But If you want to min max, then you gotta go with race that offers you what you want to achieve.
