Now I don't want to say that the economy on my server is the "best" but in regards of the damage/crit rune setup, if I don't happen to get those crystals from mobs nor the auction house. Is there a cheaper alternative to this that I can actually get? I am using mp regen and hp regen at the moment for soloing then changing out my hp regen to flat hp for dungeons. I love my lancer, it's just sometimes I feel like my DPS is too low and I get impatient with killing. Mind you I came from WoW and played a pally/DK tank so that might be why but when I play my zerker, it's like it's so tempting to make my main and honestly I don't want to do that due to my server is really in supply and demand of lancers.

Trying to fiddle around with the chained skills, so far I have;

Shield Bash > Onslaught
Shield Counter > Shield Bash
Spring Attack > Shield Barrage.

I have all them set to 10 seconds, do the seconds really matter? Also any suggestions to tweak these or new chains I don't have set?

Hey Eziel,

I'm back again and tanked SM without any problems after watching your video and the suggestions you made for me, please keep up the great work!

I need some pointers or something. I just recently hit level 26 on my lancer and tried the level 26 dungeon, SM I believe it is? Anyway, I have never died so many times in a dungeon. The first dungeon I did just fine, didn't even die once. Well the party I had in this second dungeon told me to literally just block cuz I was trying to attack, build up my mana, and block but I just kept getting beat up pretty badly. Even though the heals didn't quite heal me as much as they should, I still kept taking a bit of damages, felt squishy rather. I'd sincerely hate to give up on my tanking just due to one dungeon setback, but any suggestions such as should I just block and spam my AoE taunt or maybe chain skills? Much appreciated.
