Hello boyz.

I'm running a sword saint right now and while it's only level 5 and I'm enjoying it, many people are telling (on ancient post here I find most of the time) how great of a tank it is. Like super effective. Mine is doing pretty well at the moment but knowing what's to come and what kind of AC I'm gonna need to survive later, I'm asking myself : why ? Sure cany defense is good and there's some feat to make things easier but I can't see what specific difference make the sword saint a "really good" tank.

So of course I'm not here to debate and saying that this is actually a bad tank. I know that I'm just too dumb to find myself why. So is there anyone who can explain it to me, please ?

​

Thanks !
