with con 14 and intim 20 augments available, would it be better to slot in 2 more absorptions
instead?

All my augment slots are filled. When I find 2 free slots that might be an option. Though to be honest I will probably not revamp my gear until the next expansion.

Now that I've gotten my tank a bit closer to where I want it to be, I'm really curious what value you see in the heavy AC approach. My impression was that AC only works in a few raids (VOD and other older raids). Is this wrong? Do you find it's useful somewhere else? Otherwise, it seems like you give up a lot.

If I may ask, What am i missing as far as large shield and and dodge? I am under the impression they are exclusive.

Tower shields do cap Dodge as they limit the dex bonus, which in turn limits Dodge.

And the reason why I would go with medium instead of heavy. But I never went as far out as OP does.

Kudos for that OP, those numbers are insane!

As far as enhancements go, I only have 83 AP's as I have not yet started the racial grind. Could I still play this build and be decent? If so, what should I cut out and still be relatively okay as a tank? Or would you say it wouldn't even be worth playing without racial completionist and all of the other bonus AP's?

This build works for a first lifer. Your numbers will just not be as high. The racial AP and completionist feats make it better but I know people that have run this as first life and been able to tank high reaper quests.

Any chance you updated your gear with MD stuff? I'm not about to farm any of the rare crap, but a lot of the the augments will replace the set bonuses. I've been working on gear planning but just can't seem to land on something I like. Absolutely love the build though, my favorite tank build so far. Does everything you want it to, simple to start and continue to build up, and it can trap!

I have gone nearly full MD gear. I've been just too lazy to post it. I'll look at what I have as well as try to set up a non rare loot version.

Hmm maybe something like this ( Might not be fully optimized but it should give you an idea of what I would start putting together. )
And yes the Bracers of the Glacier look out of place until you want the full time fire shield in the new raid. You could potentially use the cloak of Ice instead and use a different bracer.)

Awesome. Right now I'm rocking 4 forbidden knowledge until I get more MD items, but this is close to what I was working towards. Thanks again!

impressive. does DL do anything fighter doesn't for this build?

DL should work fine. You might have to take a couple of different feats due to DL Auras. However I really do not see much benefit to it. The main benefits of DL are deep into its enhancement tree ( Displacement, Crit Threat). If you want displacement there are shroud clickies, and crit threat ?? Not really in the tank wheel house.

DL as a tank is more for ravager capstone.

Got any updated screenshots?

If you are taking ravager capstone then it isn't this build. This build is about maximizing AC and the AP spend is pretty tight. So for this build there is really little to no point in DL.

Agreed for this build, but for "in the tank wheelhouse", there are uses.
