Which is the best race and class for tank?

[Hildegard Schlievogt]

Race doesn't matter since none of the racials are noteworthy.....and the only classes that can tank are Lancer and Warrior....Lancer is a stand in place taking hits tank, and warrior is a dodge tank..who holds aggro while avoiding hits by rolling out of the way....Hope this helped even a little.

I would pick Lancer. I have read Warrior is the weakest class of the game.

As I understand from your post, for group PVE in boss fights Lancer is better?

[Reiyel87]

Warrior is not that bad if u learn how to play them, but if u like tank, lancer is better.. Choose what u like most

[Hildegard Schlievogt]

@orexin, in pvp AND pve(AFAIK) Lancer is the same playstyle......and warrior is NOT the weakest class in the game...most people just suck at warriors......if you're skilled they're amazing...

[Goritude]

If you're skilled, aren't other classes more amazing ?

Go Baraka Lancer, you're huge so it makes it easier for healer to target you.

Warriors are better at tanking if done right. back on eTera i had a friend whom out tanked lancers including myself. Even if you look at kTera theres alot of brillaint warrior tanks, they are HARDLY ♥♥♥♥, they are good at dps while evasion tanking due to their iframes.
Only difference is that warrior takes skill to be good, lancer is a bit easier on the tanking side. Really depends on how much of a challange you want?
Personaly i would go lancer frist, see if you enjoy the first 30 odd levels, if you feel you want a harder more engaging time, hit the warrior.
But that saying, lancer is no slacker, and does wonders in pve/pvp alike, and that lance is damn sexy =3

Lancer.

If you are going for PvE only, the race doesn't matter.
If you plan on doing some PvP, pick an Elin Lancer.

Elin's don't have a long reach. It just looks that way because of the animations and the nature of combat in TERA (and yes, I've seen the so-called 'research' people have done to try and prove this, and none of it holds up given the unaccounted for variables and inconsistencies present in TERAs combat system that these people ignored).

Also the hitboxes on all characters are close to the same so race size is mostly a non-issue.

I tank warrior, and its very easy to keep aggro and dodge attacks. I think this is more fun than just standing still absorbing damage, but its really all on opinion (I like fast and quick classes).
