Hey guys so I was thinking about trying to tank my way to the reaper reward on the Hardcore server.
I have a sorc I’m running for the favor reward and most likely the first to 20. What I am looking for is a tank build for running reaper 1-2 in heroics TR’ing and going again until I hit the cosmetic rewards. I had a Con Barb that was doing just fine without any defensiveness besides stacking the temp HP. That is until I got held/incapped and panic clicked my temp hp til I died. So I know stacking HP is a great way to stay alive on the server. I don’t know much about the current Tank meta other than a few posts I’ve seen about some crazy splash builds being the best on regular servers with multiple PL’s.
I am wanting to make a pure tank to quickly bounce from dungeons/parties 0-20 on reaper taking the fear of dyeing away from members as much as possible. I will be trying to level as fast as they come with the intent on TR’ing and doing it again. I will not be stopping at any level save for farming those “better” heroic gear pieces. Does anyone have a strong recommended build for heroic lvl tanking. Probably something completely front loaded for very early tankiness. I have access to everything but bladeforged and asimar Scourge. I will not be using tomes in any capacity unless I happened to hit the cheap favor one while leveling but not likely.
TY in advance.
Edit: Dwarf racial enhancements, things like throw your weight around, are looking interesting. I'm curious if natural progression to that specific enhancement first would make for a pretty hardy tank or would I be sacrificing too much tankiness from other enhancement lines/races? Tanking is the absolute priority for this project, that damage from Con would be cool and all if it fits the bill but I would like to be as unkilable as possible as early as possible.
