Nice! Well done.

Other than Intimidate, which I'm assuming as a tank, what else did you put skill points into?

Hey i like to get 10 in tumble to get an extra charge, rest in balance for those random dragon knockdowns.

Hello! New player here. I was following the build, and I think you should write that you need 13 INT ti get combat expertise feat. I suppose you have some tomes.
Cheers, and many tank (lol, thanks!)

Hey karl!
so you say boss bypasses dodge anyways, what do you think are the pros of going pure fighter tank vs the barb tanking for this raid specifically? what allows you to face tank him more efficiently as the fighter build if he is still bypassing dodge? i notice on my barb tanking in r10, when i uncanny or hood, i do dodge appropriately.

 

[Macenzie]

Thanks very much for the info!

It must be soul destroying to have the perfect set, with so many mythic/reaper bonuses and curses, to contemplate going through all that again a year or two later.

Hey the boss bypasses up to a certain amount, i heard 30% Dodge, wich is about what i have with a large sheild, so i just opt. for tower sheild for more hp/ defenses. and yes if you use uncanny + hood you will definitely see dodges occur. I use AC and PRR to mitigate the hits from the boss wich Barbs have less of.

I will only swap a couple of items not the whole thing still a pain, but manageable.

i would be very interested to see what your current gear set up is, i been spending way to much time lately developing gear sets for r10 pushes, love the collaborative efforts/ tips from others.

I am using the same gear as posted in first page, but instead of the large sheild from ToAN, im using the towersheild from Mythdrannor with 25% fortification reaper boost.

Finally managed to facetank R10 Relentless! lots of Radiant forcefield, and Dark discorp clickies is needed, and a monk to knock on the sky.

 

[Macenzie]

Very cool! Good job (all)!

Question for you. What Action Boost are you using the procs the LD Push through the Line? Im sure I am missing something. Also, do you find that LD works better than GMoF for the Absorbs?

Hey i use the Action boost Defense from Stalwart defender tree, i switch to Gmof for certain push raids where more elemental absorb is needed.
