I recently started playing DDO. Were talking 3 days. I have researched a lot into DDO, been reading up on the forums, etc. I wanted to build a defense heavy pure fighter(20 levels in Fighter). I used DDO Character Planner program I found out there.
What I wanted out of this:
_note: I am a min/max kind of person always seeking to bring out the best of the best in a build._
Hold as much aggro as possible...while reducing as much damage, that actually lands, as possible.
I assume I will hit level 20 eventually, which will change it to doing this endgame content. Endgame what are the things needed from a tank(hopefully a very good one)? What is the things that make a tank a real tank endgame?
I hear things like AC(Armor Class), DR(Damage Reduction), Intimidate, and more.
Build Major Notes:
1)Intimidation based for gaining aggro along with "brute fighting" enhancement for the +25% aggro on weapon hit.
2)I went with a lot of DR feats because I have heard a damage reduction build is great. I assume a HP boosting build is good too? This is a major point of this build. I could swap out all the DR and go for toughness and other things..thoughts?
3)Attributes get very high in dex and con. Wanted the +4 max dex bonus because at the end of all my enhancements i'll get +4 out of my Docent armor(i think) AND my tower shield.(I assume tower shield is the best shield you can get). Docents start out with a +1 max dex bonus, and with enhancements they can go up 3 more, equaling +4, correct? same with a tower shield? //Side Note, but related::How can I get the best Con possible while keeping that +4 dex bonus(assuming I can even get that high) while not suffering in STR, and Int(for skill points)? enhancement attribute buffs and the 5 points you get while leveling up..think its 4th/8th/12th/etc. I also wanted to ask about the stalwart defender line that increases your max dex bonus too, can theoretically this go higher than +4 max dex bonus?
PLUS you can buy off DDO store or get eventually by favor the tomes that +your stats too! What ability scores should I aim for?
4)Very important->Enhancements:Should I go for Stalwart defender? and not just random stuff i think will help me tank better?
5)I calculate my base DR without any items to be 10/adamatine just body feat and DR+1/ feats only..dunno if this is right or not.
Build deleted because of my own changes, will repost once its complete again.
