Description

FullCompPDK Requires Lesser heart +0 to swap Fighter to Dragonlord. Interesting build as it can tank Lower R raids fine, and R10s. But still ahs decent DPS. Its made to be an off tank, shutoff stalwart defense stance to get -100 Threat gen, turn it on and use Intimidate for 450% threat gen on good DPS when tanking. Only takes one shield throw for aggro reset, on one enemy, so intim if your grabbing whole group. Shield throw is for red names/bosses and grabbing 2ndary enemies if tank needs support.

Other Notes

Versatile build! Great if you only have one character at Cap. Can farm gear for your account fine, and can tank raids or provide DPS. Good mix of DMG and tankiness, so you'll still feel fine when a dedicated tank joins the group and you can just DPS and visage clear. Not too tricky to play, but does require adjusting intimidate use for tanking, and not using it in rotation when just DPS.

You cant squeeze in Untouchable Soul?

StegoJR

You can try if you'd like too, need like 4 pts moved over from other things. A hard ask considering the 41 for visage need has no extra, and the 21 in stalwart for the HP is a has no extra.
