Shields Moaning Shield: Your primary shield, forever and ever.

Why Tank Most builds in Dark Souls 3 revolve around quick rolling and high Damage-Per-Second.

But a Tank build is still incredibly viable, and in the long run will make Dark Souls 3 a walk in the part.

In PvP, players will often exhaust themselves trying to break your guard.

Intelligence: 10.

Vitality adds both to your physical defense, as well as your equipment load.

Your Tanky shield is heavy, your strength weapon will mostly likely be heavy too.

Any equipment load left over will be taken up by your Tankiest armor Vigor: 27-36.

Remember that your estus flask at max will only heal for 600HP.

A large health pool is mainly required to give you a few extra hits before chugging.

In total, a chugging Tank can endure 7000 damage at Vigor 27, but only 7157 at Vigor 36.

But with a range of between 27 and 36, you should be able to take a number of direct heavy hits without dying.

Attunement: 10-18.

You want at least one slot for your shield.

Deep Protection and Sacred Oath will give you an extra 15 damage, and extra 15 damage reduction, additional stamina, and additional resistance.

Faith: 0-30. Depends on which spells you hope to use, and what levels you have to spare.

Endurance: 20-. This determines for a Tank how many swings youll get in, once your opponent has exhausted their stamina.

Ideally, adjust according to the stamina requirements of your favorite weapon.

Dexterity: 0-25. Around 10 is the basic requirement for most Tank weapons.

A higher dexterity can be useful, in allowing you to use less Tanky weapons in exchange for Tankier armor.

Luck: 0. Where were going, we dont need luck.

The only instances where this stat miiight be useful for TANK is with Anris Straight Sword, or the spiked mace.
