I'm sure it's been answered on both threads but I was just curious what are the agreed on best augments for tanking capes for both rune fencer and paladin. I've seen the tp and ws suggestions but nothing for tanking. I apologize in advance if it's been answered tons of times elsewhere. Thank you!

That's cause there's really not much to do in the way of tanking augs.

HP/Meva/Enmity+. That's about it. You could VIT+ rather than HP, but well, that's a pretty minuscule defensive increase. Maybe INT if focusing on magic dmg taken? But again, meh. The general consensus is it's just better to have a high Idle HP.

The enmity+ reduces CE loss from taking dmg, and doubles as a general enmity cape. There's no PDT/DT option for sap augs, and nothing else in there has any defense benefit at all.

EDIT: There's significant benefit to be had from a fast cast+ cape. Btu that's not really a tanking piece persay, defining tanking gear as stuff you want to wear when getting hit. Still good to have though

Thank you I was just curious what would be a good general set for them. Would the other jse cape from wkr work better. I'm usually tanking low man ambuscade or escha stuff.

For Paladin I use the HP/ENM/Acc/Att combo. I'm capped -DT so I prefer to use that rather than JSE, plus it has more Acc/ENM. I do however use JSE for Phalanx.

You'd be better off going HP 60, EVA 20/MEVA 30, Enmity 10 for both RUN and PLD back pieces for tanking.
