Tank build

[Stuttrboy]

I'm looking for an intimitank build using shields preferably with shield bashing feats that's raid capable. I have 32 point builds and +2 tomes for level 7. high AC and HP are needed and he needs to be able to DPS but I don't care if it's the best DPS ever. He also needs some self healing whether in the form of halfling dragonmarks or UMD or even self cast spells. Can anyone help me find my perfect build?

No. Shield bashing is not "raid capable" It is not a viable fighting style. In order to do decent dps you will need to go either two weapon fighting or two handed fighting.

There are plenty of intimitank builds in the fighter forums. Look through em and see if any appeal to you.

This is pretty much the base from which all other intimi-tanks grew up from...

I didn't mean DPSing while using a shield. I've looked at a number of tank builds but none really fit what I'm looking for. I mean intimitank as in shield blocking for the DR while hitting intim as it refreshes and being able to shield bash at the same time, while alternatively being able to DPS when not turtling on the bosses.

As I understand it many of the top end bosses will hit you no matter what and you need big HP and DR/ to be a viable tank on top of a good AC.

I happened to be working this up and saw your post.

Overview
This is a very defensive paladin build with UMD for scroll use, healing amplification, and using bastard sword and THF feats to take advantage of the update 5 changes for that weapon. (it does glancing blows like a two handed weapon when used sword and board)

Why is it decent
It has very solid AC potential, better I think than a fighter based intimi-tank. It can self heal quite effectively as well as heal and raise others. UMD access for scrolls and selected buffs. It can switch to THF for added dps. It has that Palladin/Bastards sword thing people seem to like from their PnP days. DPS for a sword and board is pretty good. It can intimidate decently (might miss elite bosses though) but also has hate tank features.

Compared to dedicated DPS builds its a 5 out of 10 or so. Not much is dedicated to adding to damage although paladin buffs and basic smiting help a little. This is more about a good weapon and decent attack and reasonable strength, likely on par with most fighter defensive focused builds after buffs, but in your favor they can't heal or match your saves.

Working in power attack might be good since you are interested in DPS. I had built this one more to really focus on turtled up sword and board combat.
