Note: +3 skills pot only for Lailat until I can get epic gear, I still don't even know if I'll even be able to survive her without epic gear. I'd use human versatility for +5 against the hound so that pups could get sneak attack/flanking damage and avoid bees/overrun as much as possible. The Epic Brawn's Spirits would let me skip the pot, even uncrafted. Eventually TR will alleviate some of the feat requirements.

GEAR:
I'm going to list my immediate needs, some of this I already have(* next to name), some I will collect as I go.

Helmet:
* Minos Legens
Armor:
* DT Plate (same as below, for when I don't need evasion)
Already got: Earthgrab Guard, Charisma +6, Resists +5, Armor Ritual +1
Shoot for: Dodge +3, Charisma +6, GFL, Armor ritual +1
* Dragon Touched Leather
Already got: Destruction, Charisma +6, Resists +5, Armor Ritual +1
Shoot for: Dodge +3, Charisma +6, GFL, Armor ritual +1
Shield:
Levik's Defender (If I ever get this **** thing I'll drop the 2 shield feats)
Ring 1:
* Cinder's Band
Ring 2:
* +15 Intimidation Ring (Shoot for: Circlet of Hatred)
Necklace:
* Stalwart Necklace
Goggles:
* Blindness Ward (have one that is a solid fog clickie)
Airx3 Goggles
Tharne's Goggles
Trinket:
Head of Good Fortune
Bloodstone
Epic Brawn's Spirit (+2 Luck)
Gloves:
* Spectral Gloves
Bracers:
* Chaosgardes
Belt:
* Any with GFL (have 6con GFL, DI GFL belts)
Cloak:
MinII cloak
Boots:
Striders/FF/Anchoring/Innocent/Greaves, etc.

Shroud Crafts:
1 - Cloak: +45 HP, MinII
2 - Goggles: +6 Cha Skills, Air Guard, Haste Clicky
3 - * Heal Stick: 10/20 healamp, +4 AC, Raise Dead Clicky

I already got +6 cha on my DT, so that was great. She's 19 right now and I've tanked pretty much all normal raids except ToD (no boots yet), tried VoD on hard yesterday but raid died to talibats. Did VoD on normal at 16, elite DQ (at 16 also) was very smooth, Reaver not so much (intimidated a bunch of elementals which kept tripping me).

I'd love comments and suggestions, she's pretty much strictly a raid intimitank.

So far she can UMD raise scrolls without much problem and I can pinch heal scroll if needed with no fail using a human boost.

UPDATE:
Made it to 20 and have gotten some gear and skillups, UMD right now is no-fail heal scrolls when I have GH and bunny hat up. I am really disappointed with the Earthgrab GA I made. 10 comps (really 28 comps on both characters) and I haven't seen a single Levik's yet, I really want to drop the 2 shield feats.

I have found THF to be a bit lacking so I may LR into 15/15/15/12/8/12 and +2 dex tome for TWF, I plan on switching to dwarf after TR (don't need sentinel dragonmark because of past life) so I'll be keeping dwarven axes.

I may have missed it, but points into balance would help with the eles in reaver. Also if you were using a shield in there, drop it. These two things should keep you from getting knocked down/and or staying knocked down.

I highly recommend points in balance on tanks. Nothing worse than being the big bad main tank flailing on your back like a bug cuz you cant make the check to get up :)

Yeah I put points into UMD, Intim and Balance, ended with 22 ranks in balance. I will keep the shield thing in mind, makes sense, but it will only affect me after I get Levik's since L&D doesn't have skill check penalties.

then you shouldnt be getting knocked down that much vs the eles, my pure fighter rarely ever gets knocked over

As posted in the OP edit, I was thinking of LRing into TWF, here's the breakdown I had planned:


Itzpapalotl

True Neutral Human
(18 Fighter / 2 Rogue) Stalwart Defender

Starting Stats:

STR: 15
DEX: 15
CON: 15
INT: 12
WIS: 8
CHA: 12
Stats at 20:

STR: 34 (15 base + 2 tome + 3 enhancements + 6 item + 4 levels + 4 stance)
DEX: 24 (15 base + 2 tome + 6 item + 1 enhancement)
CON: 30 (15 base + 2 tome + 6 item + 1 enhancement + 1 level + 1 exceptional + 4 stance)
INT: 14 (12 base + 2 tome)
WIS: 8
CHA: 20 (12 base + 2 tome + 6 item)

Feats:

1 - Least Dragonmark of Sentinel
1H - Toughness
3 - Force of Personality
6 - Bullheaded
9 - Toughness
12 - Skill Focus: Intimidate
15 - Skill Focus: Use Magic Device
18 - Toughness
Fighter Feats:

2 - Two Weapon Fighting
3 - Weapon Focus: Slashing Weapons
5 - Exotic Weapon Proficiency: Dwarven Axe
7 - Combat Expertise
9 - Improved Two Weapon Fighting
12 - Greater Weapon Focus: Slashing Weapons
14 - Greater Two Weapon Fighting
16 - Shield Mastery
18 - Improved Critical: Slashing Weapons
20 - Dodge

Overall changes to performance:
+ 1 AC
+ Imp Crit
+ 20 HP
-1 To-Hit
-1 To-Damage
-3 Blocking DR

I am thinking that between the enhancements and gear I can safely fiddle around with the stats in order to swap 2 strength for con for when I need to hit stuff (stricly by gear change). This will be made even easier if I get a Litany.

Yay, I got my ToD ring on sunday and yesterday I got done with my DT's eldritch and tempests for both armors, I am gonna switch stuff around, my free slot will be goggles now instead of cloak, going to use a minII cloak and 3*Air goggles (10 more comps for a cleaner). Now to collect 30 different kinds of sov runes (or live with what I have and wait for update 7).

The few AC difference is gigantic in terms of survivability, not to mention the extra hp from the ring evening out CON.
