The really gimped but super pure intimi tank

[Erdams]

Ok i just started on the US servers crossing over from europe, and was looking to rebuild my tank. Inspired by Coltsfoot (Tus pure tank) i wanted to make a tank build purely for raid tanking (ToD, Vod, etc).

So i have tried to make the strongest possible intimi tank i could think off. Yes he is 0 dps, yes he is a pain to level yada yada, but as a tank in TOD elite etc he should be nice to have around and let me add the traditional warning, dont make this build unless you are a weirdo like me, or have too much time on your hand hehe

There is no need to spam me about i need to be able to dps, and have util etc etc, for ToD elite and the likes its simply much easier and cheaper in pots to run with a build like this. This is not for speed running shroud and that stuff. I am simply looking for the best possible shield blocking intimi tank to bring to those raids

So what am i missing?

Dwarf 18ftr 2pal
STR: 10 +2 tome +6 item + 4 stance = 22 (more with madstone etc, but dont care about str or dps)
DEX: 16 +2 tome +6 item +2 exeptional = 28 +8 mod (2 yug pot) max of (28) (+9 mod)
CON: 16 +2 tome +6 item +2 enhancement +4 stance = 30
INT: 12 +2 tome = 14
WIS: 8 +2 tome = 10
CHA: 14 +2 tome +6 item +5 levels +1 enhancement (28) can add pots, shroud items etc, but shouldnt be needed

Took a +2tome to all stats at 7, +3/4tomes will ofcourse be nice later.

Feats
4* toughness, shield mastery, imp shield mastery, quick draw, CE, Bullheaded, SF: intimi, dodge, weapon finess,...
I have some fighter feats to spare, and will most likely take the imp crit piercing and twf feats so i can dual vorpals, banishers, smiters etc for "DPS" mode

Saves
Fortitude: 36
Reflex: 26
Will: 27
11/6/6 L18 Fighter
3/0/0 L2 Paly
10/8/9 Attributes
1/1/1 AUra
9/9/9 Divine Grace
2/2/2 Head
-----
Add a resist item and all saves are 30+ add gh, reci etc and they should be decent

HP
20 Heroic Durability

20 L2 Paladin
200 Con Bonus
88 Toughness Feat
60 TOughness Enh
30 GFL
45 Shroud Item
20 Minos
10 favor
-------
656hp unbuffed, leave out shroud item and minos and it should still be enough

Skills
Max UMD, balance and Intimidate - left over in jump and 1point in tumble

Intimi:23 +15 item +6 shroud +4 enhancement +6 defender +5 feat +9 cha +4 GH +2 luck +2 skill song= 76
UMD:11 +9cha +4gh +2luck +3/5 (golden or gloves) = 29/31 could drop one toughness and take sf umd, for raise on 1, not sure on this.

AC

base 10
Dex 8 (can get to 9)
DT armor 15
Levik's Defender 9
chattering ring 3
dodge 1
CE 5
Prot 5
armor ritual 1
shield ritual 1
defender 3
5 insight (sos armor levik's 3 piece set)
defender ring 2
aura 2
Stance 4
--------------------
AC 74 Unbuffed

+1 haste
+3 pure paly
+4 bard
+2 recitation
+5 barkskin
+5 Shield Blocking

AC 94 buffed + blocking - Add dos paladin, vs giants etc for a bit more in special conditions.

DR
Will have full dwarven enhancements, shield feats, so after wf this should be top of the line dr and not dependent on procs or anything.

So far i am almost 12 and really miss the 20% xp boost for the last levels before i can start raiding hehe...

Any comments?

Um reincarnate. If you are willing to have someone carry you through all those raids to grind out that great gear, might as well reincarnate to get some dps to add to it. The past life fighter feat is nice for a defender build. You can drop like 4 points of ac and add a few intimidate and still run around with a str in the mid 30's.

Then you can twf tank in tod norm/hard vod norm/hard etc.

At 76 you wont be able to intim lock in dq epic. I cant imagine totally gimping your dps and not be able to intim every raid boss in the game.

i don't know much... but i think "agro" AND "intimi" needs to be worked on by the devs in general because one nasty firewall is all it takes for a boss to chase a mage around until he's dead, archers too. it seems the ONLY thing that will flip that agro is some HARDCORE damage from someone else. otherwise, both mages and archers are going to be dancing in circles to stay alive, also known as KITING.

kudos to you for thinking about this build tho.

Intim can keep your baddies in a fw or off the archer. But the intim needs to make every check or risks losing agro. This is unless of course the mob cant be intimi'd

Intim has a 3 sec cooldown and 6 sec duration. Even if you fail an intim, so long as youre spamming it, the mobs shouldnt break off you. This build wouldnt have any problem holding aggro. Someone else suggested TR'in into this so you can grind a lot of the gear you need with a better dps type build. I would recommend leveling a ranger to 20 so you'd always have a +5 bark available, but thats just me.
