For those that date back pre 2008 etc like i do, you prolly remember how old time casting went, either dc to the max or the totaly fun way to play aka dot casting.
So as we got the new prr/mrr changes i was looking what to do with alt.
Saw sestras knighslayer thread and just modified it to suit my own taste.
That build alrdy has incredibly survival, but what i did and many of you as well as you can look thro palie tree was swap it to 3 palie levels.
Stanced tower shielded old time dot casting.
No need to write a deep in build progression, just check his thread, swap to 12 soul 5 wizz 3 palie and swap ins reflex and force of perso to shield feats.
Youl need to have acess to some hosue c alchem mats for evoc t3 augmentation to get max mm, since it will play out in shiradi most of the time.
Build in my mind, and working wonderfully on live, and as pointed out from a friend that he made on lama a nice dot tank, i assume it will work out.
For those that despise mother forums, build feats n such.
12 soul 5 wizz 3 palie bf
feats, shield master, imp shield mastery, empower, maximize, past life wizz or completionist, addie body, toughnes, enlarge, quicken, epic toughnes, force spp, ruin and hellball.
I assumed the new wave of casters will be harmor things, this is my first attempt on such a build, as i personally play monkchery and shiradery a bit different then most players this take on the idea will fit my playstyle better.

I dont like to kite 24/7, sometimes i like to stand there like a boss and kill the thing in front of me with brute force, and armor up /stance/shield feats will allow me to play like in the good old days.

Also same thing could be done with sorc, a bf 3-4 palie 4 soul  12 sorc build is first that comes to mind.

Being survivable is nice and affects your dps since being dead or having a hassle keeping the red bar up interferes with your dps efforts however ultra survivable brings about lower dps (wasn't impressed with his dps video).

I like a decent defense and an overwhelming offense.
I know Sestra is into soloing raids so not dying ever is top importance for him but not so much for me.

If you do like to stand there like a boss, as you said, till the mobs die then this is indeed a good build .

Hey the stand shield block with dod and dot was old time casting as well!!
Con based sorc wf anyone?
Could solo any raid on that shit!
Couldnt on dc caster
Back in the day..
Good old days...
Shiradi is just what you add to the mix to be effective in ee-s

As I said in that thread, I think it's overkill defense.  You don't need to turtle up and shield tank on a caster ever.  Movement is a free action and costs you nothing.

I still prefer 2 barb. With the changes 3 pally is overkill with stance and needing to use shield/stand there. Plus 2 pally will be nerfed at some point. The rain of mega ultra speed begins as this build is meant to zerg not stand still
