Advantage of duelist as tank?

[ulises]

What are the advantages of a duelist as a tank? They can't even wear plate armor.
I am starting the game for the second run with a totally different party than in my first run: Prot, Priest and 2 elementalists. This time : Duelist, Necro, Man at Arms and Assassin

Hello,

Duelist is easier to hold aggro but he's a bit more fragile, especially in early game for both.

He's also more technical as he has to build Streak Points and use them wisely, so it adds an extra challenge and offers a different gameplay from the Protector... :)

OK. I see. Then I think a Priest, who has better healing abilities, would be a better companion for the duelist IMO.

Agree, Priest is the best healer to pair with Duelist.
Since Duelist has higher chance to Dodge/Parry to avoid damage, Priest shield is the best to avoid overheal and mana wastage.

I had a Duelist and she did really well through the game. Definitely recommend the class! =)

Thank you guys. Im trying to play the game for the second time using a totally different party than in my first run. Im going to stick with the necro just for the challenge, until I feel is hard enough to make the change. ;)
