Can a 12fight/8barb build tank?

[Elceleb]

As title says. It can tank?
I would LR my actual blitz in a 12/8 THF build. The goal should be tank all boss raid...
Its possible? Can you suggest a build?

Yes it can tank, but not as well as a capstoned barb or fighter actually. With former barb past life it could totally, but the main problem is that frenzy (the main advantage of 8 barb) is way more effective on TWF than THF, especially now that your rages will kinda suck. Just go barb 20 or fighter 20 imo, more efficient.
A 6-11 splitted barb will always find a better tank than him now, while he could still shine with former barb PL.
Or just TR into 18 barb 2 fighter TWF (if u were TWF. Splitting 2 fighter on a THF barb is a blasphemy). You prolly have barb PL (that makes u want to LR your blitz lol) u can use it as thoughness and take quickdraw for max dps.
All depends of what u wanna do. Depends on your race too.
You can also shot the new defender prestige, and use your THF as your dps weapon. Lot of choices of you wanna tank, but 12/8 wont be so shiny.
My point of view of course

It could do, but then any build with enough hit points and dps/threat can tank. It wouldn't be my first choice for a tank build though.

I actually had the build (I TR'd into a FvS) and it did fine on Normal/Hard Raids. Elite was a bit healer dependent.
