With 10+ characters -> the idea of you filling reaper xp/trees is laughable as a premise.
People said the same shit when Epic Reincarnation came out. "Oh noes, we can only sustain one character now. Boo hoo, Turbine is killing my stable." Now I have 8 Epic Completionists.

I strongly advice anyone from using this build.
I also strongly advise anyone against building a tank. It is thankless, less fun, less useful, etc.
However,
if you are dead set on building a tank anyway, I believe that this is currently the best way to do it.

I think the build itself is fine though you could very easily argue that it is trying to do too much but I don't think the gearset works. I think its very difficult to totally ignore LGS when each piece is adding ~300HPs. not sure if the 5 set piece is worth it but its definitely worth considering.

How many stones you ate/recycled or how many saga's you recycled for that:)
Not hating, as i think everyone on here including myself used/abused these when they were freely available, but to reach 8 epic completionist toons surely takes a shitload of grind - ie full time ddo player or some sploits

You dont know how bad i feel for doing all that shit legit on over and then seing how some on my friend list did all that work of mine in a week.
Years of effort vs a freaking week... Sigh
(not hating on them, but on myself for not doing it as well)

I wouldn't worry about it over. Never knew how to dupe here, no one told me, I didn't seek it out, didn't bother trying half posted methods I saw here. I do fine. It's a game just enjoy it.
On the other hand if you enjoy manipulating game systems for your benefit then do it.

This is why you are, imo at least, one of the top 3 players on cannith...you actually learnt how to play each class...properly...multiple times...
you get many completionist toons that cannot even hold their own in a slavers run....i reckon stones are partly to blame for this

Intimidate is a CC. Its great.
Yes I agree. When I posted that I was still thinking this was an hybrid dps/tank build because of the thf and bsword feats. That said vermins are a problem, specially spiders, and you can't hold them, they suck. If you aren't doing slavers on high skulls than skip it. Anyways, I would not recomend any tnak build that doesn't have at least 3 levels of wizard and 4 of paladin and fighter to anyone, and I don't see what are those 2 extra levels of fighter are helping this build more than 2 extra wiz (shield SLA and arcane barrier). If one doesn't have that, it's hardly a tank for 10 skulls.

As to wraiths. Well... if you ever played a healer you'd know it doesn't work. It's virtually impossible to heal with negative energy, except if you have unlimited potions. I also asked that guy you were talking about on cannith and he does not have have any point in PM tree, he said he had more wizard levels to get tenser and displacement as a spell so that he could cast them without interrupt. He also has only 11 levels of wiz, not enough for wraith.

Worth looking at. 14 fighter is 12 PRR and 12 MRR. I was already looking at ditching that for 2 more pally levels and +8 to saves.
Shield makes up 10 PRR of that and Arcane Barrier is very nice in the rare occasion that it is up when it makes a difference between absorbing an extra hit and dying.
The problem is I can't afford 9 extra AP in EK without giving up a lot. I can ditch Swift Defense for 1 point, but everything else in the defender trees is too good. That means losing Human Shield mastery and Improved Recovery. AC can take the hit if you limit to non-tower shields, but losing the double dip heal amp might be too much.

I saw someone complaining the other day that Purple Dragon Knight "isn't a proper race."
Made me think I should have named this build "Purple Lives Matter".

It's refreshing to see Dire Charge instead of Deific Warding on a tank build.

am playin' a toon that switches between dps and tank atm. Works ok!
Pure paladin since Holy sword is cheaper than 11 AP in kensai.
3.6k hp Blitz, 4k hp sentinel
Gear:
3 piece LGS (Helm, Cloak, Necklace)
Slavers Ring (Sheltering, Seeker, Stunning, Quality Con)
Ravenloft Bracers (INS 7 doublestrike, Quality con9)
Knight Set (Raid Armor, Belt with Con 19, both goggles depending on if I want ins7 deadly or Intim)
Cannith Gloves (Hamp, doublestrike 17, Ins Stunning)
Cannith Trinket (STR, Armor Piercing, INS CHA)
Ring of Prowess
Flow (for Guardbreaking)
Best Defense
on Kor Kaza:
swap gloves to Cha gloves from Ravenloft for saves.
swap weapon to LGS healing AMP.
swap trinket to Electricity Absorb, parrying, and Insightful fortification since she crits a lot and 80 saves help a ton

kor kaza flips an ass ton with just Intimidate. Intim is only like 25k damage every 6 seconds. That means when ONE person exceeds 25k damage in that time that it will trigger a dragon flip a second or two latter. Dragon flips can kill!

Just saying if you want to go full retard; you might want to consider trying this on an arti. 18 arti nets you 45 shield typed AC if you twist from Sentinel. 12 arti/6 pal-or-fig/2 wiz. 12 arti is 30 shield AC, before you add the bonuses from pal/fig/wiz, so it's still respectable.
You'd also end up with more HP since you could snag renegade's construct line for the 20% racial bonus. The recon SLA that's definitely broken on how much it heals. And the admixtures which can be used at full range even if you pop on Epic Defense.

Pricey for a 15% situational reduction. Worth it for specific fights I guess.

Sorry if obvious, but could you clarify the shield bonus?
Also the SLA seems to be healing less, not more. Is that what you mean?
