I've never done it, but I've always found this kind of stuff interesting. There's so many ways to break these games in half in so many ways to do the impossible, and largely do it well, despite the usual pre-conceived notions. I love hearing about this kind of stuff I never would have thought of. But as far as standard tanks, I'd have to say Aveline. I love her personality and her usefulness in combat. As someone else said, she can frequently feel fairly invincible against a lot of different types of badguys. And her awkward thorny personality is fun to have around. And her unflinching loyalty in that game is probably second only to Verric. It's nice to feel like you have a reliable good friend
