Tanking advice (for Demitrik's Bastion)

<p>Hi,</p><p>Looking for some advice/pointers/tips!</p><p>My friends and I have been trying out the Bastion - mostly to try and complete Ritsy's quest line for the hat.</p><p>We are:</p><p>Me (90 monk) - tank</p><p>Gear - <a href="http://everquest2.com/Mistmoore/Adelea/">http://everquest2.com/Mistmoore/Adelea/</a></p><p>Spec - <a href="http://www.beetny.com/eq2aa/?c02r149@24a@24a@2aa2149@28@28@1212i353535@1215555 555535@41@455@2121p@35@15@25@451555@1551@15@25@111">http://www.beetny.com/eq2aa/?c02r14...@1551@15@25@111</a></p><p>90 Illusionist</p><p>90 Templar</p><p>90 Berzerker</p><p>90 Ranger</p><p>Not an ideal group makeup I know!

you can also use Outword Calm (the self ward) that will take 10-15k of that aoe. you can grandmaster it and it helps with aoe's.
