SUMMARY/INTRODUCTION TO BUILD

This is a tank, do not play this for leveling or solo purposes, as it is literal agony. This is purely a tank; I repeat ZERO damage tank. In addition, tanks require high quantities of Past lives, Reaper points help quite a bit, and gear! However, this is a tank with some healing capabilities, as well as self-healing! It's been pretty fun in Reaper raids and R10s, although obviously it does not self-heal practically at all above R5.

While this may not be the best tank, it certainly is quite a fun playstyle!

Originally this was a gimmick idea. A build to get theoretical max of HP percentages. The build has 25% competence, 20% Legendary, 20% Insight, 10% Sacred, 10% Profane, 5% Quality = Total 90%. The only thing I'm missing that I can think of would be a curse bonus to HP.

Build:

All Photos Will Be In Reaper




The stats go up quite a bit during combat and buffed. Additionally, a turn undead charge would boost another 8 con, which can be kept up practically always, enhanced blood rage etc etc

As the photo shows the second largest issue of the build is AC. The AC is quite low, meaning you get hit almost every time in modern quests and higher difficulty raids.









Enhancement Note:

This is how I played the build as I wanted most HP possible. Upon immediate review, I will be dropping some HP from Warforged to get another 30 Hamp from T1 racial tree. Other changes will take more review.

Thanks to a reminder in the comments from WielderofGigantus I also plan to swap points in Eldritch knight to get Improved Mage Armor. Specifically, I will drop the point in Battlemage (+1 Intim) for 1/3 in Improved Mage Armor. The remaining 2/3 and 3/3 will be from completing my last two racial lives, thus granting me 2 additional points. With my build having mid to high 130s intimidate, I had no problem maintaining no fail (Not to mention getting racial completionist will balance out the swap.)

Equipped Gear Set:

My stats photos do not include all raid filigrees as I do not have about half of them. Regular filigrees were used instead.
Additionally, I plan to swap bracer to "Legendary Cuffs of the Forbidden" and slot either a lunar negative/positive amplification augment in. If so, I can swap docent to winter docent for Artifact +30 negative/positive amplification.

In addition, I may slot THTH cloak for insightful PRR...or maybe craft fire absorp and ins PRR therefore freeing up gloves to make another change? That part is obviously not fully figured out. Regardless I can slot Greater boon of undeath aug, int augment to make up for current cloak if that is done.

This Builds greatest weakness is healing amplification. My hope is my gear swaps listed at top of this section, granting 60 more hamp and 30 more negative amp (or vice versa) will be a large help. Additionally, the Warforged enhancement change will lead to a final change of 90 hamp and 30 negative amp.


DDO R5 Self Healing

This video depicts the self healing ability of the build. I sat in R5 Blown deadline soaking damage from various enemies, as well as a famine reaper. I think this displays whatever needs to be seen for this gimmick idea.
I did not feel the need to include a raid/R10 video as its practically obvious what a R10 tank looks like, and assumptions can be made based on the stats and this video etc.

Thanks for taking a look at this fun build! Id be happy to answer any questions!

Is the +3 to Intimidate from Battlemage worth more than the +10% AC from Improved Mage Armor? Because that feels like a very odd choice for a tank.

Thank you for the comment.

Upon building this character, I was worried about intimidate DCs being no fail in all content. Now that I have played this character, you are 100% correct that I do NOT need the extra intimidate and can in fact take the 10% AC from Mage Armor. While it will not be massively beneficial, as my AC is not terribly high regardless (I did test this), it is a valid change! I will edit my post to mention this concept.

Part of the post is also showing how I played the build, and not the perfectly optimized bit. Thats one reason why I theory crafted the gear rather than ironing it out.

Solid build, was fun having you tank that random R6 LoB that day :) and then the R10 Myth saga we did recently.

You held up quite well, though very taxing on the healer front from myself and azaal :p

Wondering if you thought to drop the +15 hp from EK tree and take Healer's Friend from the Warforged tree instead?

*Edit* Just saw you were planning to drop the HP from warforged tree to take Healer's Friend. 10/10 is a must for this build, everything else is solid!

That combined with the gear changes I mentioned in the Gear Section will make your life far less miserable. Thanks for letting me test out my build, great leadership and players in your group! I had a blast.

The split is interesting and I understand the idea of getting all the max hp bonuses, but I think you would be more defensive on the more common 15/5 split: 15 Cleric (or DA in your case) and 5 paladin (or fighter), with t5 stalwart or sacred defender. You would lose profane hp, but would gain much more flat hp and prr/mrr as well as AC.

Edit: I put the 15/5 in a builder with similar gear and reaper points. Ended up with around 8700 hp (loss ~350), 360 AC (gain ~100), 560 prr (gain ~100), 320 mrr (gain ~60), 310 positive hamp (unlisted), 280 negative amp (unlisted), with nearly the same saves and elemental absorptions.

Well you are correct that your build would have quite a few benefits over this. However, as you noted, thats the "more common" route. This is a gimmick build, so moving away from the % HP concept would've been a completely different post and idea.
