Fighter 12 Paladin 6 Rogue 2 Evasion Chimera's Fang Tank

[Messsenger]

This design was built around the dream of attaining an Epic Chimera's Fang for Tanking. http://ddowiki.com/page/Epic_Chimera's_Fang

I just want to know if it is viable for endgame being that is is quite DPS heavy on enhancements, but pretty defensive on Feats. I am very new to the game so I openly welcome any feedback.

I'd love to be an effective tank for some of the tougher situations; however, I'd like to do more than hold aggro and block. Please hit me up with ideas or suggestions.

I'd assume the saves are decent due to Paladin and good Charisma but my question is about AC and Damage reduction with only 1 level of Siberys and most of the focus in Kensei to ensure aggro control.

Bottom line: does this build have Endgame tanking potential? If not; why and how can I get there without straying too far?

Hit me wit you're knowledge . . . plz!

you dont need greater weapon focus for anything id grab quick draw or another toughness instead. also when allocating stats its best to create a gear outline as well so you make sure the stats fit the gear set.

Nice catch, I often get the two (focus and specialization) mixed up and Specialization is required for Kensei II.

Those are the two best options I could think of as well. I'd love Quick Draw but I'd prolly need the HP more.

Thanks for the correction

[Szordrinn]

if you plan to use only the fang as a BSword you don't need the Bsword proficiency as it is given with the first dragon mark.

[jeremyt]

yeah drop bsword feat for dodge prob, noticed its not included and im getting the strange feeling your trying to go for AC (combat exp)? still waiting on a planned gear layout :P I know whats going to be in your right hand, no clue where your going otherwise

Here are the changes based upon your suggestions. My only questions now are:
Is Dodge worth a feat? I know AC is the name of the game but an entire feat for +1 AC?
Is the base lvl 20 Intimidate (31) going to cut it?
Is the UMD skill (27) going to be high enough to be useful?

As far as an equipment list . . . no clue! I've only been playing for a few weeks so I'm not even sure what's available If anyone has a good link for a list of quality endgame gear, I'd gladly do some more investigating
