<p>Is there a build for pretty much full on tanking?  Want to see how much I could clear with my brig tanking and warden melee dps/proc healing.  Only ever PvPed on my brig so no experience with shields, different AA builds etc.</p>

<p>If you are only grouped with a Warden I don't really see a big benefit going tank spec. Will loose a lot of DPS.</p><p>In general Brig can somewhat tank but we are far from real tanks. No death saves, our defense is nowhere near real tanks either. Aggro control is weak and since you'll be doing a lot less dps aggro can be a big issue if you are in a real group.</p><p>It all depends on what exactly you have in mind. Pre 80 it can work fine. If you are trying to tank DoV... good luck.</p>

<p>Yeah I've run as a brig tank for a couple of pulls like Sara Greenheart in SF when our Swashie wasn't available and agro is an issue since you normally cant get any of your back attacks off, it's the majority of your CA based DPS. Personally if you were set on the idea of running a Rogue as a tank, go Swashie for agro control since rogues would need to hold agro with DPS not taunts/snaps.</p>
