I think we have heard from almost every intimitank builder in the game. I have seen about 3 intimitanks in game. They are more scarce than WF rangers.

That's not true. There are something like 6 of them in my guild.

I think Intimitanks are coming back into style..

It's because of Vision. We finally got to show off in a raid. Now, people know what we're capable of.

Before, it was pretty much unknown. We just finally got a place to show our potential.

hound is tough elite get a -12 to intimidate check (42 if you started at 54) and i believe he is right around 60 to grab could be mistaken.

I dunno normal less than elite.

Did a couple elite hound runs yesterday, and she was somewhere around 69 (57ish after the size penalty). For a long time I was running around with +37 or so, and recently did some moving around to get it up around +50. The trash mobs are still easy, but I do notice that I can get pretty much anything else consistently now. I think the earth ele in part 2 of the Shroud is still one of the highest DCs though on normal.

Its about time people realize how powerful intimidate is in this game on the right tank. Now turbine just needs to keep the pace with 1 raid boss + adds to really hammer it home to some people. I always laugh and die a little bit when I go into the hound and ask who has the highest intimidate and get a number like 20.

Coolest one though was the acrobat 2 rogue who tanked the puppy.

Want cool? Intimi-rogue with Acrobat II! That was neat so see.

What about the Maul of Malice?

I know haveing an item with a higher + to your Intimidate Skill will outweigh the weapon, but the 20% incite bonus when attacking (obviously switch to it after you intimidate with your GS weapon).

Also, you may want to include Prayer (+2 to your skill checks) AND Recitation (-1 to your enemies skill checks), that may give you a +3 bump.

May not work, just throwing it out there.... Be gentle

since intimidate seems to create "real" aggro (ie. the kind that remains even after 6seconds pass), it might be the case that the Maul of Malice makes this aggro "bigger".

Unfortunately, it's a two-handed weapon (no shield/less AC), that doesn't do much damage compared to other options, so that 20% is just really making up for the deficiency in DPS.

Prayer adds +1 skills, recititation doesn't add skills. If i recall -skills debuffs don't work on mobs (their skill values are static).

Question -

Intimidation of 52 needed for Hound and 54 for Harry/Sally -

Is that on normal?

As you know, intimidate is very useful in MANY quests... I'm amazed more people don't use it...

I use it all the time in Shroud Part 2.... I can keep the devil right where I want him... or any of the other lieutenants as well (last night I kept the troll swinging at me all turtled up, while the other fighter kept him from regenerating too fast - no need for a cleric for either of us, even though we had to wait a while for the other teams to get their guys prepped)

It is a rare build that has it though... I'm still surprised (pleasantly!) when I see it go off on someone else in my party

I know that very well, but standing around and pressing intimidate is a pretty lame contribution to a party regardless of how powerful Intimidate.

And yes, about Shroud part 2, Intimidate awesome for the Devil.

I have it on my barb with the shaken effect. Too bad fighters didn't get that.

I think the tank of tomorrow will be that hybrid DPS guy who can turtle up if necessary but that 'when necessary' is going to be a high intim or it isn't reliable enough.

I would say mid 50's buffed is solid, low 40's for the once in a whiles.

Normal Hound @ +53 (as listed on character sheet, -12 for size on actual rolls) I was failing on a 5, passing on a 6. Haven't had a chance to pinpoint Harry & Sally yet, but from what I recall it was pretty similar. Elite Hound was effectively either DC68 or 69 (failed on 67, passed on 69). Edit: apparently I wasn't paying enough attention, and it's 67 elite.

My fighter either uses GTWF with khopeshes or turtles up with 60ac (with only CE turned on, not sure what he would get with external buffs) and 53 intimidate, still trying to get a +15 item and making some kind of shroud accessory.
