haha i lol'd

Its a shame the bladed lantern doesn't come with its own attack, or get a damage bonus with Shield Bash.

I've got a tank build on my GLA atm, but we're getting a few more high GLA's in our linkshell now, so I might experiment with a DD build eventually.

Presumably if your no longer tanking, you can switch your plate armour out for something that favours ATT/STR instead of HP/VIT?
