now you will notice the last feat is kinda a pick between dodge or power attack. Got no clue what to pick here.
I am afraid that PA will drop my attack that hard that if not tanking on epic's i prob won't hit **** since i am no kensei annymore :(

you will also notice i got 10 AP left... i am puzzeled what to do with those! I can go +8 confirm crits or more hp or more dex bonus to armour or more absorb on shield.... the picks !!!!

You will also notice i take some feats like imp shield block etc that most ppl don't like. I do this because in the first place THIS IS A TANK. and so tank comes first. And no matter what damage reduction on epic is important in my stupid eyes.

If your wondering what gear i pack. i can say i can or have my hands on almost all i need (+2 luck trinket, circle of hatred, etc etc etc...)

And another question i ask myself is goiing chaotic/good a nice choise for lvling ? i do have my umd later on so...

If you got anny other thoughts or usefull tips/tricks/hints please do post em here !

I would like to tank you for reading this and would greatly (love) you if you reffered some epic tanking players to this treath for some feedback.

with kind regards.
