I was wondering if master 2hand sword and master TKA would be a good combo to choose, even though this limits me to strictly melee, it seems the defense i would get with this combo would be insane if the defenses stack. Anyone know if it is possible to tank the higher lvl mobs atm? I have heard that PC's cant really tank higher lvl stuff thats why everyone is going CH so their pet can tank. Anyways my other points would go into Medic and scout-explore4. If this sounds too limiting or there is no possibity of being able to tank the higher lvl stuff then i'm gonna go Master 2hsword/ Master CH

in order to tank high level mobs, you have to be with a group of high level people, a high level doctor to buff your stats, high level chef to buff your stats, you need a high level armorsmith to make you a full suit of armor, so you can have 1/2 the damage from each hit absorbed, and a high level doctor/CM or 2 to keep you healed while you tank

if youplayed everquest, you didnt see warriors walking up to aten ha ra solo, with no buffs, and expecting to win the fight? with good doctor and food buffs, and full composite armor, you can tank pretty much anything in the game, if you have a doctor or 2 with you for heals, you can get your health buffed up to well over 2k health, and if a mob is hitting for 3k, your armor will absorb roughly 1/2 of that, so you get hit for 1500, which is manageablecause your buffed over 2k health, and just need a heal from your master doctor with you, alot of people are sort of "ruining" the end game experience, by just using pets to tank everything, so when you are fighting a really hard mob now, you dont really have the end game experience, or raids, like from everquest, u just get a creature handler to put 3 gurrecks on it, and call it even, while u sit back all safe and sound shooting at the mobs

As long as it's melee/ranged defense, it will certainly stack, but not the specialized Unarmed Toughness or 2-Hand Toughness. That's limited to what weapon you are wielding.

Perhaps you may be able to solo the single mobs (Like lone rebel or imp NPCs outside the respective towns) with Unarmed Knockdown and all with the TKA, but don't try more than two at once unless you have high armor. It gets REALLY painful when spamming special moves and getting shot in the head also.
