As MD was released, i got bored with playing melee DPS, so for a change, i built a 18 Pally tank, with 2 cleric.
I have been asked a few times about this build so here it is.
Two Cleric for tier 2 Radiant Servant for Mighty Turning, and for the Animal domain, for the ability to turn animals and magical beasts as well.
It does not stop there, T5 EA grants, as an epic moment, the ability to turn any mobs(Might Turning means you destroy them), this is amazing fun for a tank, you zerg ahead, grab the agro from as many mobs as you can and hit the Epic moment and the 1st 20 kills are yours. Any quest with loads of undead, or animals are an absolute breeze. Any DW'd mobs are cowered, even reapers under the epic moment.
I will not go into detail of gear tetris, as all you need really is a sacred14\hallowed 14 item and a max Con\Charisma, I am currently farming MD items so my gear is certainly not optimal, but i can fit in artifact PRR\MRR and profane PRR\MRR.
I chose Asimar, as i was already Asimar, so just used a 20 heart, i think dwarf would be a better tank.
Could this be used as a 1st lifer, probably as 1st life tanks are defo viable in r10 and low reaper raids
Would i use T5 EA in a reaper raid, defo not, but for r10, it is more fun in T5 EA
Feats i took are shield line, perfect shield, toughness, epic toughness, legendary toughness, improved turning, fountain of live, quicken, diefic. The usual tank feats
Stats in reaper
An example of its fun factor in one of the new MD quests
Epic Destiny's
Enhancements
So to sum up this build, is it better than a pure tank- nope
Does it have any DPS- Nope
Is it more fun than a melee dps or pure tank- OOOO YEAHHHH
Try it in Ravenloft, Gatekeepers, Tethy Mines etc, its a dream
Filigree's in use are all the turn undead ones, but i never get a fail, so possibly not needed(my max HD mob is 81, so over kill), so if you want to be more tanky, use the tank filigree's and grab more Con, AC, i am also missing temperance of spirit and belief items , so there is 20 more MRR\PRR to be had
