Welcome to the board, Dedzy !

No, I think it isn't a good idea to give piety to the tanks. As you already mentioned, HP's and carry capacity are very important ( an ebony plate with weapon and shield is heavy ). It also builds up stamina, so that the tank can fight longer before he gets exhausted. And VIT builds up resistance to poison, disease etc. too.

I havn't tried it, but I'm sure the highlevel monsters with turncoat or instant death ability aren't really impressed by the "Iron Will" resistance.

With all magic protection up ( like you had ), death doesn't happen that often and you can ressurect a dead character during combat easily.

But, of course, that's only my opinion.
