Now Enhancments Are A Touchy Subject With Me, So Feel Free To Play Around With Them If Youd Like.

[Inspire]

Looking At The Build You Could Not Take The Paladin Charisma, And Wear A +6 Item... Or Eat A +1 Cha Tome And Take The Enhancment.

Also Eat A +1 Str Tome And Have 28Str Which Is Respectable, +3 Tome Gets You 30Str Which Is How Allegaince Got His 30Str, I Think 6Ap Is A Bit Expensive For This Build.

[Davinna]

You rock, thanks for your help

**cupcakes for you**

[Inspire]

Suggested Weapons;

Scimitars Would Be Best, Unless You Can Free A Feat Choice And Take Khopesh(Reccomended If You Can Fit) But Scimitars Are Great For Weakening/Enfeebling And Other Crit Based Attacks, As DPS Isnt As Important To You. Power Attack With The SoS or Greataxe Is Great For When Intimidate Dosent Matter, Or PA With Your Scimitar/Khopesh Is Fine Aswell.

Lightning 2/Mineral 2 Would Be Good Bets For This Toon, However Positive Works If You Cant Spend The Larges.

If you're going to spend larges, get Mineral II. Why? Because you're going to want that +4 AC all the time so...

From the screenshot of the Vision plate in the definitive loot thread, it seems that should be 19 not 21. Also, for Levicks, there's a problem in that it's not a mith tower, so max only dex 2. So at DEX 22 you'd need 4 levels of Tower Shield Mastery, but currently there's only enhancements for I-III. So that knocks 2 off, as the max dex then negatively affects both your armor and your shield.

Not to diminish what looks like a fun build, just helping with the numbers. :)

My Numbers Are Correct,

I Added In Tower Shield Mastery And FAM For 21, Levicks Defender Is Mithral, If Yours Isnt(Pre Mod 7.1) Put It In The Marketplace Alter Or 12 Alter And It Will Make It Mithral For You(+4 Dex Bonus... +6 With TSM 2, 22 Dex = +6), Both Equal +6 Dex Bonuses With The Enhancments I Chose For Her.

Anything Else Tc12? Any Other Adivce/Problems You Notice Are Welcome.

[Borror0]

Mobility & Sring Attack? Not a fan of these...
Improved Trip? How good can it be without the enhancements and lower Str?

You didn't address the other point, that FP has a base armor bonus of 8.

8+5+6=19 :D

Mobility Gains 4Ac When Tumbling, Of Which My Toons Do Alot. Spring Attack For New AI, I Just Hate Missing.

Improved Trip, I Guess Im Used To Allegiance Using Serrulae And He Has All 4 Fighter Enhancments. Perhaps This Feat Can Be Switched For Greater Weapon Focus Or Khopesh.

[Inspire]

8+5+6=19 :D

Its Almost 4Am Here, Very Sorry Lol. Fixed.

When is it really useful? You're most likely Tumbling to repositionate yourself ewith blocking.

I'm sure you don't need the AC too often.

Intimitanks Dont Want Free Ac?

Mobility Is Part Of Spring Attack, I Tumble All The Time... Maybe Its Just Me.

[Borror0]

Intimitanks Dont Want Free Ac?

When do you Tumble for the AC? (Or find yourself happy of having Mobility.)

[Inspire]

Well Ill Say It Again, I Tumble All The Time To Get Flanking Bonuses To-Hit + SA Damage(On Allegaince) +4Ac Just Sweetens The Deal, Plus I Can Tumble Faster Than Moves Some Times Anyways, And You Can Move To Get Your 5th Attack Swing In W/e You Want To That Way.

[Leyoni]

I've often wondered about intimitanks. As I look at the build I have a question about hitpoints. Seems very low for a character that is intending to draw all the aggression. Is the AC enough to prevent getting splattered?

Thx

[Riot]

Intimidate + Spring Attack = ticked off companions.

Stay still. Mobs dies faster when they aren't running around.

With a buffed AC of 72 very few mobs are even going to be able to hit this girl at end game.

[Durack]

great post .........................1/2'ers FTW

[EKKM]

Looks interesting, also not sure I would do spring attack but whatever you like.

The intimidate number doesn't seem to include the -4 for effective size modifier compared to other races.

[Borror0]

Is the AC enough to prevent getting splattered?

Yes, it is.

[Leyoni]

Ok, thx. Didn't know that. Gives me a new goal for my next tank project. I've already got one that went the HP route and he doesn't get splattered by much at all. Of course, he's only L15 and I haven't been in the highest content areas yet (its tough playing at non-peak times) so I'm sure that the time will come. :(

[Davinna]

Here's her stats at lvl 9. This toon is so much fun to play.

With GH
Intimidate =33
UMD=21 *still need to get golden cartouche*
AC=49

yep... keeping mobs still is half the point.

if i wanted to chase someone's aggro, i'd find someone with a bow/repeater.

I totally agree, which is why I stand still and shield block while in party.

[Inspire]

I totally agree, which is why I stand still and shield block while in party.

So Does Allegiance, I Only Use Mobility When Im Not Intimidating... Anyone With A Brainstem Knows To Stay Put Or Pull Mobs To A Firewall Or Other AoE "Trap" When Intimidating.

There Is More Than 1 Use For Spring Attack/ Mobility, I Probably Couldnt Solo Half The Stuff I Can Without Either, Cause Im Always On The Move.

Looking Good At Lvl 9 Dav :D! I Cant Wait To Run With Her On One Of My Fellers!

Her AC is standing 57, 61 w/ haste and a pot of barkskin as shown in picture above.
Intim w/ GH = 44
UMD w/ GH = 29

I have swapped out some of her feats and took bullheaded and force of personality. Force of personality made a BIG difference on her will saves.

[Davinna]

She's now standing at a 59 AC unbuffed. Once I craft her +4 AC insight weapon she'll have a standing 63 AC. In the original calculation the shield alchemical and one from dodge was missing. :D

[Inspire]

Lol, Oops! Updated :D

[Davinna]

Solid build. Would rethink the race w/ size penalty and hound if I had to do her again. She does just fine w/ sulo ;)

[Davinna]

Great fun to play :)
