Hey, another person who'll put a bunch of nice things on his twink tank and probably just quit by the low 50's anyway. SK's are probably the single most common class I see being stripped and parted out in East Commons. If you don't like a hybrid tank for 20K, you aren't going to like it for 120K.

If you're determined to repeat the same mistake so many other folks have made, you'll want a fungi and as much haste as you can squeeze out, though you'll probably have to tolerate a Flowing Black Silk Sash or Sash of the Dragonborn just due to budget limits. Those two things will actually take up the majority of your budget. Ebon mace plus Atramentous shield are good suggestions for weapons. You want a Circlet of Shadow, and at that budget there's no reason not to get Jboots. Depending on what race you are, cultural armor may be looking at. Other than that, once you have the specific items mentioned just fill out the rest of the slots with the usual type of equipment (Darkforge, Blood Ember, etc) You might be able to snag a Blood Ember BP for 20K or so and stay within your budget, although I wouldn't suggest it--if you want the buff, get a Stave of Shielding for 1/10 the cost.

EDIT: Actually there IS a reason not to get Jboots. When you get bored of the SK and decide to sell off its stuff you can't sell them. Perhaps stick to Sow potions until you reach level 55 minimum.

Thats probably because people realize that they are 100% useless endgame. At least for now.

I love SKs and mained one on live but yeah, warrior all the way.

120K on a Tank is just chump change to be honest. That is a Fungi and not even a CoF which you NEED when you have a Fungi to counteract the - Dex, Agi. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

So go bigger or go home as they say. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] In a group no one cares what you have other than Raids. And a SK is not going to be the MT in one anyways. Solo well yeah, good stuff helps, but 50 to 60 solo on a SK is worse than a sharp stick in the eye, I don't care what gear you have.

Great gear is WAY overrated to great player skill on here. Get smarter not richer, but you seem to get richer the smarter you are for some odd reason,phht.

I got my super twink SK to 27 before i had enough of him. They're fun to play but at the same time I think a paladin might be a little more fun. LoH doesn't get resisted =)

Im sure they are not.

When velious open ,i often tank in raid, not for bosses, but for trash clearing on the way to boss.

Best tank for this is pal/sk, which can snag agro fast and from ranges.

we dont need hammers/strings to build intial agro. we call assist fast as hell. we improve the effeciency of entire raid encounters.

that's sk ,you gonna be proud of it and love that feeling.

but you need to be high enough for this ,yea 60ish the best. and put all stat to sta/hp, choose gears for tank type.
