This guide will help you build your Defender class into a PVP based tank. You might notice that when starting out you will be a lot weaker than the Sagittarius, Rogue, and Taurus classes, but that will all change in time if you choose the proper skill set. You can only use a total of 50 points so you can’t afford to throw points into every single skill you want. You won’t be able to add points to the skills you need at low levels because of the level requirement, so keep in mind that you may need to use a skill reset item when you reach level 50.
For the most part you will need skills that do AOE damage or raise your defense and health points. Skills that provoke enemies are useless because most of your AOE skills automatically do that for you, and they also don’t work in PVP. This guide will help you find a basic, yet powerful PVP build, but don’t be afraid to experiment with other skills, because every skill is useful if used correctly.
