IHNIWTNT-14P/4Divine/2Sorc

[PeWBOOMPeW]

I have no idea what to name this. Lets get that out of the way.
First of all, i'm an altoholic, and its terrible. I cant play the same style of character more than once. I went out on a limb and tried to make something to take a beating cause ive never played a tank. The goal was purely to make something that would just keep going through pretty much anything. So i went for maxing AC and PRR over damage.
Two versions, Sunelf using hammers with a bit more damage, Bladeforged using whatever it can get its hands on. I looked into a 3rd with PDK and bastard swords but couldnt figure out how to get rid of the first level of fighter, but PDK also looked very interesting.

Much Iconic, many DPS.

[unbongwah]

So i went for maxing AC and PRR over damage.

I recently got my first-life Dwarven Defender to level cap. As a personal challenge I went almost-all-S&B-all-the-time just to see how I did. Thanks to the High Lords of Malkier's teaching raids, I've even been afforded the chance to try my hand at tanking a few raid bosses.

There was pretty much never a time where I thought AC & PRR were more important than DPS. Never.

Don't get me wrong: survivability is important. You can't tank when you're dead. Saves, HPs, Dodge, PRR, etc. are all important. Threat amp is important. Self-healing (if you can squeeze it in) is important. But DPS should still be your primary focus, even as a "gimpy" S&B.

Need to breeze thru a quest for completion? You need DPS. Need to finish a caster ASAP before he gets to launch an AoE nuke? You need DPS. Need to peel a mob off the healer or other squishy party member? You need DPS. Need to hold boss aggro? Oh look! You still need DPS.

Threat is still based on DPS; and threat amp only goes so far when your DPS is anemic and you're struggling to hold aggro over the Shiradi sorcs and FotW monkchers and Blitzing Cetuses (Cetii?) of the world.

Just my two cents.
