Hey guys, I'm about to start Tyranny for the first time and I'm working on learning about the game and deciding what to play.

I'm wondering how necessary a classic tank style character is, i.e. heavy armor, shield, very beefy, etc, lol.

About heavy armor soon forget. Only Light Armor.

Pretty much not needed at all. I would probably go unarmed quick high deflection build for 1st run.

My first run was 4 mages all with light armor (1 healer and damage dealers) and I had no issues, although you might want to be careful as to how you engage, as if 1 mage gets targeted by a particularly big group he might explode (unless you use illusion spells to help him survive).

By the way, Emotion school of magic has a tanking spell, if you wanna still run a tank and do not feel like using a 1h+shield build for the main character (nobody between your party members has talents that ensure constant taunting).
