The thing about tanking is that it either works so well it's broken or it gets ignored easily it's worthless.
And in this game, with so many ways to get to the backline or circle around the tank because they made it so the AI always do the best possible move, pure tank will never work and I doubt Larian wants it to work either since you can always spec a single point into any other school and branch out.
If you really need a tank, play a Leadership aura tank with geomancer and hydra for tons of shield and recovery. That's the best one for negative damage for your team. Leadership with Evasive aura is +93-120% dodge rate, allowing your teammate to dodge anything that isn't AoE and since you can break the level 10 caps with gears, you can easily step into 42-45% dodge and resist aura. If your dodge rate and resist are high enough, the enemies will start to hesitate and actually attack your no-aura tank char instead. This is very easy to spot with the Evasive aura source spell where enemy will just attack everything instead because they can't hit anyway.
