Werewolf Tank Build
Table of Contents
Description
Sentinel is a Werewolf Tank Build, suitable for every Class and Tank. A fun Tank Build that is utilizing the Werewolf skill line to complete 4-man Dungeons mostly.
The Tormentor Armor Set is what makes the Werewolf viable as a Tank and for that reason is essential to the build.
For a Werewolf DPS PVE Build you can take a look at The Beast.
If you are a new player, take a look at my Vampire vs Werewolf Guide to understand the differences between the two skill lines.
Armor Sets
Lord Warden as Monster Set: A great Tanking monster set that increases both yours and your group’s resistances. Swarm Mother as an alternative to simulate a Pull ability in Werewolf form.
Tormentor: Essential for the Build to work. Can use it as Body Armor or Weapons and Jewelry.
Roar of Alkosh: Great group support set
For more Tank Sets you can take a look at my Best Tank Sets Guide.
