Post your dps tank builds:
I went 175 Str/50 Dex/200 Con. Using reverse stab, bash, defiant stance. And took the leadership skillI from Sword master tree. I find my light attack chain does very good damage and my threat gen is amazing.
Wondering if I could drop bash and pick up leaping strike, lose a taunt but would
be way more fun to play
Are you finding the 175 STR/50 DEX build out damaging a pure STR/CON build?
300 CON rest in STR. I think 95. I went straight down the Defender type tree.
I also use tinctures and coatings when I fight. I can kill stuff pretty fast, even Elites. Though the changes AGS did to the end game Elites make fighting casters more difficult.
Seems to for sure. I came from a Con/Str build and damage wise this one seems to be superior. Keep in mind though, I picked up leadership and a few other abilities in the sword master tree to increase damage as well.
I used to use a max Con build, when I switched servers, people were so geared-out on the new server it became hard to hold aggro so switched to more of a dps build.
Yeah. Even with T5 gems for taunting I lose aggro. I kinda wish the aoe taunt would go off a bit more (faster cool down
From my experience, it seems that threat is based solely on damage.
I like to think of it as if each enemy has a list of players and their recent “threat damage” (not “true damage”). And whoever is at the top of that list has aggro. All taunts do is shove you at the top of the list, and threat passives increase the conversion of true damage to threat damage.
This is why you can throw out a taunt and then never actually get aggro; tanks still have to do damage lol!
Because of this, I run 280 str and 160 con, then 200 con with food. And since I’m rarely just sitting with my shield up, I choose to use the leadership perk. And for abilities, currently I’m using whirling blade for the rend, reverse stab for the CR, and defiant stance of course!
