So, I finally have her polished up.
Aasimar
12 Fighter/ 4 Paladin / 4 Artificer
12 Fighter = Extra feats as well as 4 uses of second wind. Second wind heals her for 13,471 in R1 content.
4 Paladin = Some saves, Sacred Defender up to T4.
4 Artificer = 1 Extra feat. Renegade Master Maker T3 enhancements.
Previous versions of the build have had similar splits but I feel this is the most optimal split at the present time to meet the goals of the build. I feel that T5 fighter enhancements are now better than T5 Paladin enhancements especially when you factor in the changes brought by the Macrotech destiny.
Stats:
14 Dex
18 Con
16 Int ( Full skill points in trapping skills for when you don't have another trapper. )
The rest dont really matter that much. I did start with 12 Cha, 10 Wis and 8 Str.
+8 Tomes
Feats:
Completionist
Racial Completionist
All Epic Past Lives ( Need that PRR, HP, AC and Elemental Absorb )
Feats:
Destiny Feats:

Fighter Feats: (7 at Fighter Levels 1,2,4,6,8,10,12)

Improved Shield mastery
Greater Shield Mastery
Heavy Armor Combatant
Heavy Armor Master
Dodge
Mobility
General Feats:
Spring Attack ( For fun. Another toughness might be better but sometimes you need to jump at that Doom Reaper)
Fighter Past Life (2 Intim , 1 Max Dex Bonus)
Toughness x8 (Yes that is a lot of toughness but a dead tank is not a tank anymore)
Skills: (Ranks) - Total (Trapping skills are with swap items)
Intimidate (23) - 124
Open Lock (23)- 104
Disable (23)- 101
Search (23) - 106

This gives her 3 Set Bonus'.
Abishai, Siren and 6x Winter
Level Order:
Start with your Paladin Levels. Then pick up Artificer and Fighter. Interleave the Artificer and Fighter levels so that you can spend full skill points in the trapping skills.
Leveling UP: DONT PLAY THIS BUILD TO LEVEL !!! I usually grab a heavy crossbow and put my points into Inquisitive / Battle Engineer/ Harper trees. Even without the ranged feats to back it up you will level much quicker and can solo pretty much anything with the pew pew. Once you cap then reset your Destiny and Enhancement points and put on the tank gear.
Enhancements/ Destinies: Refer to the screenshots above.
Reaper Points: The more the better. Right now she only has 102. Full Tank tree / 12 points in caster tree for extra charisma / rest in offense tree for some dexterity etc ..
Threat: 2133% She does not hit hard but it sure makes the mobs mad.
Future Plans:
Right now I am contemplating making her a dwarf again. The new raid Dwarven Axe might ne an interesting tank weapon to try out and I'll need to reset reaper 1st time bonus experience eventually.
I would loose 226 HP from the Aasimir Protector Bond but I would gain some back from being a Dwarf (+4 Con) as well as 20 HP from Dwarf core enhancements. I would also gain 3 more Max Dex bonus (Right now she has 28% Dodge this would potentially give her 31%) I would also probably drop Spring Attack to pick up the Lesser Dragonmark and potentially get Radiant Forcefield Clickies in the bargain. And another 15% shield AC.

My sentient filigree sets are
3 Piece Grandfather (5% AC)
2 Piece Beast Mantle(10 AC)
4 Piece Bravery (5% AC)
4 Piece Technomage (5% AC)
I am working on capping a second weapon for swaps. The second weapon will include 4 Purity.
Perhaps having a 4 Piece Nystul would be a good thing to swap in there. YMMV

You list combat mastery feat taken for artificer bonus feat... you mean combat expertise right? No such feat as combat mastery.
on non-tank I get 230 withouth thinking (light armor artificer with low dex)

You would not get anywhere near 700 AC on a pure class tank. All three of the selected classes have stacking bonuses to AC (for armor and shields) which are being utilized. Along with the epic past lives, epic destinies, and then with the mulipliers from Tank set, Reaper bonus, Filigrees etc. it all adds (and multiplies) up together.

Yeah, pure class tanks top out in the mid-high 400s if built for everything, or around ...600? I think? if built purely for AC.

If u dont mind, could you tell me how u craft your dino weapon? And another question, what u think about The Labrythine Edge (gives u asome extra CON/HP with a tradeoff -4 AC)?

Dino Weapon has 2 con and affirmation. The other mods don't matter just pick anything you like. The Labrythine Edge is nice. Try it out and see if you like it.
Sure go for it.
Really try anything. Personally I find that the 1k extra temp hp from dino helps a lot. It procs reliably. But if you prefer something else then do it.
