    Default LockStock - Hate Tank

    Good HP, Saves and DPS
    Monk levels taken just for free feats and evasion

    HP:
    486 from planner
    10 GH Favor
    60 +6 CON item
    30 GFL
    45 Shroud HP item
    20 Minos Legens
    ---
    651 Before Buffs

    No stellar Intim: 23 Ranks + 4 StD + 2 CHA + 15 Item +3 (+6 CHA item) = 47 so probably no epic intimidations
    No effort chasing AC - just Good Saves, Evasion, Shield Block (25%), and DR
    Hate from Orc Brute (25%) and either DoS Stance (25%) or Divine Righteousness (100%)
    Any 2 handed Slash for DPS - BSword for sword and board

    Comments appreciated

    With the same class split, I went a bit differently on my Shield for hire. The basic idea was to be able to switch between Kensei II/DoS I and SD II/HotD I to facilitate leveling and/or to adapt to the equipment I could obtain.
    The main difference with your build is that I have significantly less HP (I end up with 623 w/ stance and yugo pot), but with AC (not exceptional but functional: 79 as a SD II/HotD I) and Intimidate (70 with the same configuration). AC is helpful on survivability and intimidate helps a lot on threat generation when using a shield (I end up with 330% threat generation on the SD II/HotD I configuration).
    While ignoring, you should try to aim the required Intimidate, at least for elite ToD and VoD (epic Lailat is a lot higher and would require much more dedication to reach).
    That being, your new build is much more appealing than the previous one

    Agreed with above - you need to try for some Intimatdate

    Minor suggestions - Improved Shield Mastery it hardely seems worth the feat for the 5% more... cleave or other?

    I would also take the Shield Mastery much earlier - it will be nice to have while leveling up.

    It is hard to find the "right" balance between HP and DPS for tanks....

    Why no Intim - what else are you spending your skill pts on?
    DoS Stance + Divine Righteousness for extra Hate
    IIRC, these do not stack, but SD stance will stack with Divine Righteousness.
    Paladin Divine Light I
    I presume this is supposed to be Divine Might. What a difference one letter makes, eh?

    If this is purely a hate-tank, why not go HO or WF for Brute Fighting?

    I meant it won't be stellar

    Heard the same: + meant 'or'

    Nope Light with the 'L' - DM competes with DR for turns and its only at the +2 level

    Tried HO - Lost like 50 HP - gained hate and some dps and even more action boosts - and it seems there are better Bswords than Daxes

    Post that he was refering to with Dwarf for reference:
