    Default Tank Wizz Build improvements

    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.

    Race: Deep Gnome
    Class: Wizard 20

    36 points build:
    STR 6
    DEX 8
    CON 18
    INT 18
    WIS 10
    CHA 14
    All points go in INT

    Skills in Order: Intimidate, Heal, Balance, UMD, Spellcraft, Jump, Search.


    Feats:
    1 Single Weapon Fighting and Spell Focus Necromancy
    3 Shield Proficiency (General)
    5 Quicken Spell
    6 Shield Mastery
    9 Completionist
    10 Mental Toughness
    12 Improved Single Weapon Fighting
    15 Skill Focus Intimidate and Extend Spell
    18 Improved Shield Mastery
    20 Improved Mental Toughness
    21 Greater Single Weapon Fighting
    24 Embolden Spell
    26 Perfect Single Weapon Fighting
    27 Master of the Dead
    28 Mass Frog
    29 Deific Warding
    30 Epic Mental Toughness and Scion of the Shadowfell

    *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.

    Enhancements
    https://ibb.co/sRrfMKh
    Pale master core choices: +2 Necro, +2 Enchantment, +10 Incorporeal Miss.

    Epic Destinies

    Magister: https://ibb.co/CsL9mR6
    Twists: Arcane Hymn (Fatesinger, tier 3), int, int, int, int (i take INT from the Draconic and Shadowdancer Epic Destinies.

    Sentinel: https://ibb.co/bH6fMKH
    Twists: Sacred Ground (Divine Cruzader, Tier 3), Arcane Hymn (fatesinger, tier 3), Consecration (Divine Cruzader, Tier 2), Coocon (Primal Avatar, Tier 1)
    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.
