Zebox' take on tanking gear
Based on the idea that tanks needs lots of +stam and +def. In some cases, multiple items are mentioned for the same slot. This means that all are usuable, but the first listed will be the best, and the second will be second best, etc. Please note that Zebox is a level 60 mage, and only has a level 21 warrior named Zibox, so this information may not be 100% reliable.
