For those curious I'm looking at a shieldmaiden approach since Shar has a Deathbringer:
Protection Talents - 32 points
Redoubt rank 5/5
Precision rank 3/3
Toughness rank 5/5
Blessing of Kings rank 1/1
Improved Righteous Fury rank 3/3
Shield Specialization rank 3/3
Anticipation rank 5/5
Blessing of Sanctuary rank 1/1
One-Handed Weapon Specialization rank 5/5
Holy Shield rank 1/1
Retribution Talents - 19 points
Improved Blessing of Might rank 5/5 or Benediction rank 5/5
Deflection rank 5/5
Vindication rank 3/3
Conviction rank 5/5
Seal of Command rank 1/1
Problem is that the best tanking talents go contrary to established tanking procedure. Avoid + to defense because a lot of the specials rely upon crits, more intellect for judging and firing seals...
Edit: I do have to state that these "awesome new changes" :rolleyes: have pretty much depressed me on the viability of playing Sharanna as anything but a buffbot.
