Ok, so that is the bonuses from my template. It includes a few easy quest items, 6 artifacts, 1 very rare drop, and 3 MP chain pieces. It leaves me with 3 types of illusion (1 of which is group) AE songs from croc ring various reactives and /use abilities.

My spec is:
50sword
43BS
3(?)parry

Now for the explination. When I RVR i filll 2 different roles; 1) on the assist train 2) intterupt duty. As such, i thought it best to totally max out my damage output. While ill be the first to concede i give up alot of damage without the lvl 44 DD, I was able to maximize my melee damage with the 10%+ dmaage 4%+ style damage and 10% melee speed bonuses from ToA items and artifatcs.

As for my spec, 50 sword seemed natural. Ragnarok is your friend when you go out soloing, and paired with your instant mez lets you get some serious damage off when your interupting in a fight, or chasing a kiter on the assist train. the only reason i took sword over hammer is with instant casted DD and snare i have no use for the backstyle snare conquer gives you.

If you have the time and paitience to farm alot in ToA and level artifacts, i greatly recommend this template. You WILL be able to compete in terms of melee damage with other tanks and supplemented with your DDs you willl be able to frontload better than any tank in midgard.
