Dragon's Immortal Tank (Updated for 1.2)

That is the beauty of regrets. I will post the results asap.

Ok, here are the results! All results are including Discipline aura.

Armor/ES start: 6787/908 Including grace aura

Without IR: 3904/908

-Leather and steel and the point leading to it: 3029/908

10 points spent in all the body and soul nodes: 5873/1523


So what we ended up with was:

-914 armor
-11% runspeed
-60 dex
+615 ES
+5% all resist
+131 HP at the loss of grace aura


The results speak for themselves. It is up to you to decide which you like better. Personally, I will be respec'ing back to my original build. The loss of dex and the amount I have on my current gear is 30 short of running FA. The 11% runspeed has a clearly noticeable effect on clearing speed and fun. But that is just my preference.

I feel that I should again point out that having more ES will not help you vs a boss. You will be taking constant damage that will not allow your ES to refill on its own, and the chances of you blocking enough boss attacks in a row to completely fill your ES is insanely low. As for more es vs regular mobs? I hope my first video proves that 500 is plenty.

I gladly spent 20 regrets to show this because so many people have been asking about body and soul. Now you can choose for yourself after reading the results. I also have screen shots should anyone doubt my results.

You have the facts, the choice is yours. I hope you find the build fun no matter what you decide :)

You are amazing!
Thanks for everything.
I am in doubt - it would be more profitable? Weapons are not too high physical damage + elemental damage (fire), but very high attack speed or slow, but with a very high damage with hitting?
For example:
- 90-210 Physics, 29-57 fire, attack speed 1.61 (DPS 310)
or
- 167-242, attack speed 1.29 (DPS 263)

In my opinion the answer is not too obvious - because we have a crazy speed boost from gems and build, elemental damage we get from the conversion of damage, but the alpha-strike better in the second weapon. Accordingly, more physical Life Lich, stun works better ... Well, maybe something else missed.

I wish there was a build like this, only with Kaom's included. Would rock to be super-tanky AND have 10k+ hp, especially for Hardcore.

Means either gimp DPS by restricting only to 4L or use staff and have <40% block.


My tank is able to tank large mobs that are +10 or greater above me. I tanked VAAL (merciless) at lvl 54. I actual survived two critical hit in a row without dying with only 2300 health.

DPS wise I am able to kill +10 mobs without much of a problem


Lol I don't know how is this related to my message.

On topic, with a staff+kaoms I'd go Glacial Hammer, less need for block, more dmg to compensate lack of mob explosions. But that's a whole another story.

Ehi Dragon, thx for your amazing guide.

I'm trying to make an immortal tank using Facebreaker, do you think it's better to use 1 hand or the dps of Facebreaker it's comparable?

Hello there.

I have not really messed around with facebreakers to much. So, I have little advice to offer in that department. I will say that the new bringer of rain helm seems like it would be amazing paired with facebreaker and a high block build.

I can tell you that if I put facebreakers on right now and take my mace off my dps is only 800. I know very little about those unarmed builds but I think I remember a friend telling me you need straight physical damage on your gear to make it work, and since I have very little of that it is no wonder the damage is low for me.

I had hoped to get my hands on the new bringer of rain helm so I could test out a build I really want to try. I have dreams of a cyclone/discharge mara tank. The thought of it alone is enough to make me laugh. Someday, rng will give me the gear -_-

Contrary to what a lot of you that have pm'd me believe, writing a guide on the forums does not mean you are rich in game :P I have exactly 5 exalts worth of currency to my name. If that is rich, I don't even want to know what those with hundreds of exalts are called.

Is there a reason that you do not take the Amplify node? It is very cheap to get with your current tree and gives a nice area boost.

The reason is that I don't like having to spend points for aoe. If I had points to burn, I probably would. But having 20/20 on gems provides enough aoe for my taste which leaves me with points to put in better options.

Hey man

How exactly are you thinking of making such a build?
I suppose with Cyclone you have to quit all the elemental dmg nodes and focus to physical.
But how do you fit Discharge in, thats something i really want to know :D

And whats the possible links for Cyclone? I can think of Melee phys dmg-Faster attacks-Added fire dmg-?-?
