	There are several aspects in game: aggro managing, defences and utility. As for aggro there are several types of mob AI and behaviour: intellegent basic (e.g. Elf fighter), caster (sometimes ignores aggro and choose random target), assassin (switches targets a lot and teleporting), non intelegent basic (oozes, golems, undead, incite working against them) and non intelegend that ignores incite (twigs). The very core abity for any tank is intimidate, its not only refreshing aggro, but adding 200xskill hate points as you've done this damage to enemy. So there is never too high intimidate. 115-120 is something very minimal to have for legendary r10. 130-160 is something comfy to play with any party. Incite is something easy to get on many tank builds but hard to make it usefull. Say, on pally you may get up to +900 incite meaning your damage calculating x10 in hate. Yet many full retard tank builds have around 500 to 2k dps and it drops to 250 to 700 due to low to hit. And 500 x10 is still 5k. Incite tanking is something you need only for mobs and bosses you cant intimidate, this is not musthave thing and actually working better on some dps builds (2hw barbarian or bladeforged e.g.). But still if you have divine might or kta and can slot accuracy in your build, you may find a use of it. Initial aggro. Thats pretty obvious and any party that start to play learning it fast enough: tank always need to get initial aggro, thats easy way to cc mobs and to keep party members protected from random ranged attacks/oneshots. Defences are saves, dodge, hp, prr, mrr, ac, healing amp, magical effects and %reducing damage effects. Its all bound and matters. Everything is hitting like a truck on r10. Physical damage is something you always will have to deal. Minimal numbers comfy to play with are 400 prr and ac, 8-15 dodge (depending on shield you use), lesser dispacement, ghostly. Magical damage is something much easier to deal with high saves and large/tower shield. There are still some bosses and mobs doing a lot magical damage on hit (like archons) forcing you to have good mrr. Minimal set of effects for comfy play is 200 mrr, 90 total saves against spells (non failable on 1 ofc), large or tower shield with block energy (from US), spell absorbation items for swap. Spell resistance is almost useless unless you play drow monks or occult slayer. Hp and heal amp are bound too. The more hp you have the more healing amp you need. And usually the less other defensive stats you have cause of lgs gear. At least 4k hp and 200 hamp is something comfy to play with. Yet its possible to have much more and possivle to build a good tank with 2.5-3k hp. %damage reduction effects are radiant forcefield, thick skin if LD, book clicky and t5 rmm enchantment. Never undersstimate those thing, they are really superb. And utility. There are not really lot variants for tanks I can see since to get all the stats you need many specific items leaving no ways to have, say good dc and spell penetration. But still, there are some options to make your tank less boring and single rounded: 1) traps and lockpicks if artificer. Will reqire int and skill tomes, swap gear 2) healer/selfsustain if cleric 3) dps if divine might class 4) CC if fighter or druid Overall the better utility you want the more investments you need: better tomes, pastlifes and gear. For a simple fullretard intimidate bot even first life toon may work. As for classes, currents are pally, fighter, druid, cleric. May be built tanky FVS, barbarian, warlock, artificer. 1 level of wizzy gives you +10% total AC, 5 levels of artificer gives -25% positive healing (from feat) and +20% hp (and other stuff in RMM tree). Yet as I said anything with min stats I wrote may work in hands of adeqate player, if you manage to build pure wizzy with 400 prr, 400ac, 200 mrr, 90 spell saves, 4k hp and 200 heal anp and 130 intimidate it still will work for sure. There are never overkill in tankiness though, 600 prr over 400 meaning you will take not 1000 but 720 damage from champs. 6k hp over 4 meaninf you'll survive 3 crits instead of 2 (some champs ignore fortification). Thats just some theory. On practice I made several lifes tanky and semi-tanky enough for r7-9 and one full retard tank life I ran entire game r10 with. That was 14 ftr 1 wizzy 5 arti, no lgs at all, ended with 450 ac, 460 prr, 300 mrr 110+ spell saves and almost alll possible effects (ghostly, tenser, displacement), 4.8 k hp with 280 hamp. Was boring AF honestly, but hat was somehing making game incredibly easy.

	You want to get a combat line for epic defensive fighting. there is none for sword and board specifically. so you go THF and bastard sword or dwarven axe because those too benefit from THF, namely glancing blows.

	One more noob question, how do you get 95 AP for enhancements? I know the cap is 80 and I saw you could purchase a couple of points in the DDO but how do you get the rest?

	For some reason, I can't seem to take Elusive Target and Dire Charge together at the same time. originally this was because I didn't have all 3 martial destinies filled, but I rectified that problem. when I went to Fred to swap out the feat...I couldn't get dire charge unless I swapped out Elusive Target for it. I am sure I am overlooking something obvious as to why this is but I cannot put my finger on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I apologize for such a newb question but I was away from the game for a few years and am now back. I'm trying to learn the game all over again basically.

	Probably the minimum level for Dire Charge and the level you took Elusive Target at meaning only that level's feat slot is available to swap? If so I guess you could swap Dire Charge in at 29 and then Elusive Target back in at 28 feat slot.

	I have a gear related question for this build. I am currently farming the cloak out of Newcomers (I forgot the name). It has insightful combat master 7. MY current DC for Dire Charge is 113. In R1 Grim, it stuns all the Abishai but typically doesn't stun the champion cultists. In R1 newcomers, I am probably only stunning half of the mobs on the first try. I had to modify the gear set on my toon because I play on the wasteland that is Wayfinder and raids aren't as abundant as other servers so I do not have the CC trinket of other raid gear that is listed in this build so I am trying to make do with what I can obtain. I don't have the crusader's cloak either. As far as I can tell the cloak in newcomers is my best option for insightful combat mastery and would make my dire charge DC 120. This toon iss only a second life toon...no completionist of any kind and still working on maxing out destinies. all in all, the toon does fairly well...on Wayfinder in low to upper mid reaper quests. I am going to TR into this build again for a third time just to get the PDK and fighter lives done. Obviously I need a bunch more PL's to make this a good tank. I would like to try out an Arty tank or even an undead tank...is that even possible? But after my next life, I'm not sure what direction I should go in in terms of trying to get PL's. Ultimately, I would like this toon to end up being a tank but I will try out other builds for PL's to make leveling easier. Leveling a tank is horrible if you dont have a regular group to run with.

	Beware, with the Divine Might nerf, I believe Insightful Combat Mastery will not stack with Divine Might as of this week's coming update. ... I'd say paladin past lives are most important for a tank.

Good characters wielding this weapon will suffer one negative level, Improved Destruction Filigree: 3-piece Grandfather's Shield 4-piece Nystul's 4-piece City's Beacon This is the build I followed, Knight Of The Chalice isn't in it. All in all for being a second life toon and not having all the gear and PL's it holds its own. Granted it helps that I play on the space server of Wayfinder so high-level reaper parties are hard to come by and so is raiding....which really sucks. My stats are nothing that is going to set the world on fire either. Currently, I have: 3027 HP's 371 AC - buffable to low 390's 345 PRR - I can buff it to 375 if I switch to Unbreakable and use action boost buff 240 MRR - can get to 250 is I use mirror plate tower shield and block. 106 - fort save 82 - Will save 81 - reflex save All stats are not in Reaper mode. I have slightly higher stats there but I only have 13 reaper points so far. I really need to work on racial PL's so I can get more healing amp. I am lacking those PL's I only spent a couple of points in the PDK tree to get charisma to damage. Even though I never have the stats, PL's or completionist[s] feats you do, I enjoy playing the builds you post. Ultimately, I want to keep this toon as a tank in the end but I will TR him into other things along the way to make leveling through lives easier because trying to level a tank solo is painful.

	So the % hp bonus from the defender tree doesn't stack with Epic Defensive Fighting? WTF?

EDF grants a Competence bonus to HPs and Glorious Stand (5th Core in Sacred Defender) is supposed to grant a Sacred bonus to HPs. Edited: Tenacious Defense, also in the Sacred Defender tree, gives a Competence bonus to HPs. Maybe that's what you're referring to? Yeah, that doesn't stack with EDF.

When I activated Epic Defensive fighting my first life, it did not work. I didn't gain any HP's from it...I have no idea why. However, this life I am getting some extra HP's from Epic Defensive Fighting. Without it, I am just over 2900 HP's. With it, I am at 3027 HP's. My Hp's are on the low side because even with a +7 supreme Tome and Sharn gear, my CON is only 74. I used all stat upgrades in Charisma when leveling for attack, damage and lay on hands. Now, I have changed cloaks to the cloak from Newcomers (sorry, I forgot the name) to add Insightful Combat Mastery 7. I did lose 13 PRR in doing so and am looking to see if I can find another Quality PRR item. I'm using the epic hands of house Jorasco in my gloves slot which is upgraded with a displacement proc but I am not sure I really should be using them. I don't think that they help lay on hands but they do help cocoon or healing spring. I think skintight gloves have quality PRR so those may be a better choice. Also, I dropped the Eldritch Knight Tree and went with Knights Of The Chalice. I now have more strikethrough as well as Divine Might. My Dire Charge now has a DC of 131 (for 2 minutes).
