Styphathal's MELEE REAPER INTIM TANK revealed (Khyber mentor)
First of all I would like to personally invite any informed streamers/bloggers to get a good 3rd person view of this build in action!

I spent the better part of 2 weeks cross referencing for an uber melee build that can withstand a solo reaper 4 quests and bosses without the use of hirelings. (hirelings seem to be on strike and really only usefull when the battle is over or as a backup policy)

I will do my best to fully inform and welcome any form of criticism but please follow this link as there may be further reveals.

This is an EPIC build perfect for ETR lives . Beware Arborean crowns they are the bane of this build.

This build can support Reaper 4 boss tanking given you have all the gear and physical past lives together.
to get the appropriate feats unlocked and useful epic twists you will need to complete the Martial 3 and Primal 1 and even access to tier 3 Magister for stronger Sentinel tanking.

Chaotic Good or True Neutral
8 Rogue (Improved Uncanny Dodge)
6 Fight
6 Lock (Fey)

Start your leveling as a Rogue to unlock the ability to search, open lock and disable.
Any races except warforged or bladeforged due to max dodge for body types. Mithral body type does not recieve expanded dodge cap as you would from light armor.
