Holmgang and Foresight still.... Meh ? How I would do it

[Paikis]

One thing I noticed since I've started leveling a SCH is that Foresight/FeatherFoot is WAR only means of mitigation till lvl 35 when they get Inner Beast, Followed by Storm path at 38 and Finally Vengeance at 46. Which is sad since both of those are really weak and thats they have for so long. So what you have are WARs who still get hit like Trucks until they reach their 40s.

Pre-50 healing on WAR is still an issue. I now see what all the healers were talking about. There really no room for error when healing WAR unless the healer or the WAR is over geared.

Pre-30 you can cross class anything. I remember I went and got a whole bunch of classes to 8-ish while I was leveling my Paladin (my first class to level).

Flash and Convalescence from Gladiator to 10
Second Wind and Featherfoot from level 8 Pugilist
Feint and Keen Flurry from lancer level 6

All of these will help you with tanking pre-30, and then at 30, you get Defiance which is an effective 20% damage reduction. Either way though, tanking pre-30 is more about holding agro than it is about not dieing. If you've done any of the low level dungeons recently, you'd see that they don't really need a particularly tanky-tank.
