Magical team playthrough with Fane as tank doable in honour mode?
So last time I played this was back in 2019, but back then I did a physical playthrough. I don't remember why I did not finish this playthrough, but my party got to level 15 and we got as far as Bloodmoon Island. I don't know how far that is, but that is of no importance anyways. This was played on honour mode with a party consisting of a ranger(Sebille), a summoner(Beast), a tank(Prince) and a healer/mage(Lohse). The characters we used were Sebille, Prince, Beast and Lohse. This was played on the classic version. Even though challenging at some parts like act 1 boss, I never found the game to be too difficult.
However I was planning a new playthrough and seeing how much elemental arrows I had left on Sebille I was thinking I could play some sort of Elemental Ranger, and because we thought it would be fun to include Fane, then switch it up and have him as a Tank. I kind of want to drop Lohse because I did not really like her character that much.
So my question is: Is Fane doable as a tank in Honour mode. I was thinking that going geo on a mage character I could use poison spells as healing. However if I remember correctly the game was more about killing stuff before it could get through armors because then characters was susceptible to CC's which sucked.
So with that in mind to make elemental ranger and fane as a tank. What would you do with the 2 remaining characters? A summoner felt like it was useful during my first playthrough as it meant 1 more body for AI to attack.
I don't know how much easier or harder Honour mode is in definite edition, so any suggestions are welcome be it classes wise or general game knowledge(without too much of a spoiler that is).
