Full Tank Builds

I don't know how others feel about this, but I would like for a way in this game to make a character that deals damage based on reflect damage. I enjoy being really super tanky, but this game only allows for this damage from hp/tank stats style play in righteous fire builds. I would like for GGG to make armour shields that reflect %damage taken or something of the sort. Just an idea.

And a tree build at the top of my head without much planning would be smn like that



33% additional block chance (with tempest shield), enough life and life regen to run use with damage reflection.
You could probably sustain righteous fire as well for some extra damage if you swapped thousand teeth temu with a phoenix shield.
For late game weapons you could use a doryani's mace.

Voila! The return damage tank (all while burning, if your heart desires so).

Ofc, the tree is not optimised. You could try the north end of the tree and grab some curse buff passives along with the ability to cast an extra curse. It all depends on what you want to build for.
For instance, if you dont want to use counterattack gems and want to go pure reflect tank you can drop the block passives.

The bad thing is, you wont have a way to reflect damage back to spell casters(only viable way to do it in a way, are the counterattack gems).

I understand these things exist as I have tried very hard to make an end-game viable full tank build to no avail. This is why I mentioned that GGG should add a reflect shield of some sort or maybe a unique to help facilitate this.
