ok, elementals lose their effectiveness at around.... 60. after that they just are pointless imo. so, from 60 on, the bare minimum i think you should have to get by as a tank and not as a lazy nin are the following.

shihei
shinobi tabi (or powders, whatever)
sairai-ran
kaginawa

jubaku is up to you. I find that rdm casting paralyze if more effcient and easier for you to manage. 4s cast time is a bitch. you lose 4-5s of attack for something that might get resisted and which a rdm can do easier.

the rest, is up to how you want to gear yourself. DD nins hold hate well, but take a bit more dmg due to lack of evasion.

evasion nins + enmity is how i went up till 74. i took very little damage, but my damage output wasnt the greatest. however, i had the luxury of getting to 75 before the enmity loss from utsusemi. so i was able to go full evasion, no enmity and just enfeeble/provoke/melee to secure hate until renkei.

anyhow, those 4 powders are imo, must have. rest, is how you like to play your nin.
