This is a fun build. You can CC, Instakill, be tanky even on Magister ED.
You can switch to Sentinel ED to tank harder.
This build heals all the time with three auras of death, so even on Magister it is very tanky for high reaper, being able to take the front and the first agroo in every fight, making it easier for the DPS.
Im still trying stuff, so any suggestion would be nice.
Im doing pretty good on r10 and im thinking on some improvements and more testing for the future.

*Since this build uses EK tree and it gives the shield proficiency on Tier 2, im thinking on changing the 3 shield feats for something else. It may be Barbarian past life for +2 Intimidate, maybe Spell Penetration feats or more DC feats. I'm still thinking about it.
**All the four Single Weapon Fighting feats are for +20% HP when using Epic Defensive Fighting.

The last twist i switch between Fire or Eletric Sheath.
*Im not keen on which are the best twits for tanking, so any suggestion would be cool. The ones i use are mostly to spam non stop heals.
Gear for CC/Instakill: (Magister ED)
DC on reaper with no boost or any pots: Enchantment 115, Necromancy 125, Evocation 112.
Good enough for r10 so far. Problems only with Despair reaper whch seems very hard to control with Hold Mass.
