Do you recommend Stalwart Defender for tank?

[swordfish]

Valerie is my pure main tank, just hit level 8 on hard. should I invest fully in Stalwart Defender or put a few levels only?
I am going pure tank only..

Yhh she is

Level 9 of tower specialist is very good and level 7 of stalwart defender also. Basically .. yes its very good on her

9 TSS/ 7 defender is solid for hard

I do what mork is saying. Take fighter to 9 then hop on the stalwart defender train

I concur with this. Valerie is a seriously awkward customer with this build. She don't do that much damage, not her job anyway, but they can't get past her and they can't really hurt her either, most of 'em anyway.

I don't really recommend a "tank"
It's better to make a DPS with a really high AC.
Not exactly the same thing

I always found stalwart defender underwhelming. Maybe bacause some of the key stance powers were not included ( ability to have a free attack to new-engaged targets for ex)

This too.
Really, it depends on your playstyle.

Wise words.
Hope you at least specialized her in aoe intimidation and equipped her with melee teamwork feats.
