Best endgame gear setup for a DoS Pali tank?

[Arysta]

Title says it all.

My current raid/epic tank will be TRed when the new update comes out, so I have been working on her replacement.

Flawlless is a human DoS dual kopesh wielding intimi/dps tank. She's 15 now, but leveling fast. I'm not sure exactly what kind of gear I should make/grind out for her. I want her to be able to tank the usual suspects (Horoth, Xxyzzy, Sully, etc) and hold her own in epics and suchlike.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Depends which kind of tanking you are looking for.

Are you going for some AC ?
Are you going for max (82+ intimi) ?

If you plan tanking lord of blades, you'll need a solid tower shield like levik's or a crafted DR breaking one i guess. Assuming you got enough intimi for it.

If you AC-tank it on normal and hard, maybe icy raiments is still be solution

Khopesh with +4 insightful AC (so alchemical or GS)

I like abishai set for any build actually. Usually cloak + Helm + one of the three depending on what the rest of your gear is.

Claw set is real cool, especially gloves. +5 intimi, 30% heal amp. Awesome tanking item.

For the rest... if you don't go for AC try to go for dps rings in tod (ravager, shintao, encrusted...).

For the bosses you quoted only xyzzy requires quite high intimi (79 for non fail on elite ?), horoth is passable up to hard with some HP and heal amp, AC and/or DR appreciable on elite. Kinda the same for sully i assume.

To be honnest, pure paly 20 TWF is not what i would aim for as a end game tank but well geared w/e works i guess. Or is it splashed ?

No splashing, she's pure. I know that she may not be the best endgame tank, but I wanted to try something different from the usual suspects. (My current tank is a pure Stalwart fighter with all the gear for tanking, which has gotten a bit boring, tbh).

Her intim should be good enough for elite Hound at 20 with gear, buffs, etc as her Cha is pretty high.

Right now she has ok gear, but nothing fantastic. I do have everything to make her some Epic Frozen Plate, but.. I don't know if that's the best armor choice for her. Some decent AC would be great.

What is your character's past lives if any?

My human is pally 18 fighter 2. I use khopeshes and the epic chimeras fang for my weapons although I am not proficient in the khopesh
Has these feats:
twf
itwf
gtwf
power attack
icrit slash
least sentenial
lesser sentenial
greater sentenial
shield mastery
Barbarian Past life

Gear:
Goggles: Epic Raven's Sight
Head: Shroud mineral 2 +45 hp
Trinket: epic gem of many facets (greater false life)
Armor: Epic Deneith Heavy Chain/ Epic Marilith Chain
Cloak: Epic Silver Concord
Necklace:Shintao
Belt: Ravager
Bracer: +13 intimidate w/lg guild slot (has lg hit point item slotted)/Epic Bracer of Hunter
Glove: Epic Glove of Claw
Ring 1: Shintao
Ring 2: Ravager
Boots: shroud Air/Air/Air +6 cha skills Wizardry 6 +150 spell points.

Weapons: khopeshes such as epic chaos blade, ls2, alchemical fire fire, epic chimeras fang when tanking.
Shields: has epic kundarek warding shield but usually use +5 tower with medium guild slots and have two of these.

Intimidate is 82 with prayer and yug pot but if get lg guild slot tower shield and if can get +15 skills crafting goes up to mid 80s.

This is a much different gear set than what alot people have posted but it has more dps and to-hit and will have more flexibility for fitting in other gear such as the circle of hatred and the like for more hate, intimidate and the like. Really one of the best advantages of being human is they have a higher base intimidate so they do not require epic brawn set to get a really high intimidate..

Very nice setup; Couple other options:

Helm: Epic Helm of Frost
Goggles: GS CHA hp item or MIN II
Cloak: Epic Envenomed- Toughness
Boots: Epic Boots of Corrosion- Heavy Fort (If no MIN II)
Bracers: Fabricators Bracers- doublestrike
Armor: Epic Deneith Heavy Chain
Belt: Ravager
Ring 1: Ravager
Ring 2: Shintao or epic seal of earth
necklace: shintao
Trinket: Epic Brawns Spirits (+2 exceptional con and +20 intim)
Weapons: Epic Chimera's Fang (if you have the full sentinel line you need these, just for the awesome bonuses)

Also you have Greater False life on Epic Gem, seems kind of like a waste if your first choice for armor is epic deneith as it has superior false life.
