Tank

The tank’s primary role is to draw attackers to them while absorbing damage that might kill, or severely injure their allies. While other archetypes seek to avoid pain, the tank thrives on it, increasing their durability, and damage dealt with every strike. 

Their mastery of defense allows them to redirect, absorb, and negate incredible amounts of damage that their party members might otherwise take. A well-played tank controls the tide of the battle, distracting enemies, and hampering their movements while rallying their allies, and leading them to victory. 

No one lives forever, but a renowned hero who reaches his, or her twilight years probably owes their longevity to a reliable tank.

Courage

The tank loves being on the front lines, and gains Courage when they deal, or take damage. Courage increases their damage dealt, and reduces damage taken. Courage is used as a special resource to activate, and amplify certain tank abilities.

Protection

The tank provides layers of protection for their party. The tank can choose to protect a specific party member, redirecting a portion of the damage they take to the tank. Some tanks may also choose the Aegis ability, which redirects a portion of the damage all nearby party members take to the tank.

Endurance

The tank has a supernatural endurance that is enhanced by their arsenal of survivability-enhancing abilities. Good timing while using these survivability abilities is key, as a dead tank cannot protect their allies.

Disruption

The tank has access to many skills that disrupt the enemy, locking them up, and preventing them from harming the tank, or their allies.
