Hero speccing from 16 onwards...

[Avi N'dor]

Howdy!

I'm having a great time building up my first alt char, a hero. Spearo, to be excact. Ranger being my main I'm a bit lost in the world of tankage

I'm currently at level 16 and specced like this:

- 16 Spear (keeping maxed)
- 11 parry
- 7 Shield (have engage)
- 7 Blade (have taunt)

I realize that tank needs to take damage maybe even more than produce it. So my question is should I concentrate more on shield from now on or will I be happy with spear maxed all the way? How important is parry related to blade/shield? Blade doesn't need to be very high right?

At heart I'm a spearo, not a blade/shield user but I know I can't neglet the latter either to be versatile and useful in combat.

I short, what I need to pump up now that I'm closing BG levels and beyond? Thanks for any insight.

For teaming take shield up high, spear will do insane dmg anyway so focus mainly on your ability to tank.

One of the most insane things you get is the 42 shield specc 9 sec use anytime stun

You could go 42Shield/44Spears/39Blades/24Parry... is good in grps and in RvR to afaik

You could also got lower in blades and raise parry more, dunno whats best.
