actually not. basically the ST doesn't have any buff for wind attribute but for dark. also from gracia chronicles tanks are less ''tanks'' and more DD's. i ve seen many good tanks playing with str+4,dex+4 & con-8, wit+4-int-4. that doesnt nefre them at all cause they hit & run much quicker even with bow ( no one can kite them) and harder. and before u start bullsheting about the dyes and OMG 2K LESS LIFE i ll remind you that the tanks can have up to 4 excellent UD's (shield of faith,UD-enchanted at decrease penalty so that u can move-,Ven-also enchanted at decrease penalty and heroic miracle) which means that u are practically never out of UD's+ anti magic armor and reflect magic for mages. thats a whole bunch of skills :P
Also before every pvp u do pain of shillen and when it becomes lvl3 u do SOS which rocks.
P.S. i prefer focus swords cause if u have vampiric rage,dance of vampire (zaken and antharas) u can drain so so much HP
but again it depends on playstyle. if u just wonna raid with your clan do exaclty the opposite to what i said.
