Warhammer: Mass Tanking with an offensive Tank and Healer

This video shows a short footage of me playing my Swordmaster (30) and a friend of mine playing his Runepriest (24) . You'r able to tank&kill alot, to do 6-9 and 9+ public Quests with 2-3 players if necessary and possible by the time limit. Have lots of fun while walls of Monsters clash against the tank. I'm playing with the german client, Game Version 1.2.1. I'm concentrating mainly on STR, secondly Defense(fix reduction) and some extra Life, my friend (Runi) goes for full Willpower with some extra Life. Well what's left to say, of course it doesn't make my SM a full-fledged DD or defensive tank but it's a blast in PvE and (situation depending) in PvP, especially Scenarios so far. However don't think you can use the offensive tanks potential without a Healer Friend that keeps especially your HP-Bar in Focus, given the possibility that alot of those mobs could crit simultanously, same for hard heros, your survivability is just not as great as a full defensive tank (even by equip bonus alone), although i don't see any grave difference in using a shield or not untill now. The only big difference is that you can't use some nice defensive spells and miss some armor and the Block-Chance to nullify any damage dealt. No clue how it will change in the higher lvls, but for now im optimistic and pretty happy with my build. So far i had no problems tanking any Heros, be it public Quest ones or the Lords of the Keeps, mass tanking proved to be espacially effective with this build because you can do lots of aggro on lots of Monsters simultaneously with your AoE Spells and the stats theft Sword Enchantment ... , all Monsters simply hate it xD

For most situations its just convenient to deal some nice damage as a tank class and to hold the aggro of multiple creeps, like in the vid, without them wandering off to the next healer after your "pull aggro" Spells wore off. Those Spells are only needed for Emergencies to peel mobs off your Healer. =)
