<Pentacurse Tank> Full support / 0 dps /HC viable

Hello , due to the high amount of people interested in this build i have decided to make this thread .

This build is not hard to achieve but I do not recommend leveling directly into this. I have changed into this at level 92 , atm I am 97.5 , and ONLY your stupidity can kill you ( example : forgetting lv 20 molten shell +conc effect 20 +cwdt 20/20 in a ele reflect + - res map or forgetting shield on a Dominus GMP+ boss mod fight ... those were my only deaths.)

Pro/Cons
Spoiler

Pros
High survivability
Extremely wanted .. never paying fee
I can make a mediocre dps group fast , a good group becomes insane
Double bosses are easy , even piety / megara/ courtyard boss without freezer, still can't convince ppl to do dominus without freezer ..

Cons
0 damage
Game mechanics : Any curse casted over yours will cancel all , no matter the level/quality of the curses
Not a really good fit for public groups ... you sometimes find very "special" players there
will not let you do your thing ..

Gear

Gear explination
Spoiler

aorumvorax - 60% all res ... why not
chest - remnant from my previuos build
The 6L is not a must have for starting, use a 5l with reduce mana or even a 4l with only faster casting
Dying breath staff is for maximal cursing , IF the extra damage is rlly needed
shield - high Es+ int+res , crafted for this specific build , also perfection for CI flicker or Power siphon .. mostly any CI build that doesn't need spell dmg/crit
windscream + 2 paua - core of this build , required to reach 5 curses
Es helmet - nothing interesting there
dream fragment/ anvil/ sin trek / aventail PvP Gear variation .


Skill links
Spoiler
helmet - discipline + vitality + clarity + raduce mana . I use clarity only on 50% reduce regen maps or if group badly needs it .
chest : 3 blue damage curses ( i mostly use vulnerability + elem weakness + crit weakness ) + faster cast + enhance lvl 3 + reduce mana
Boots - cwdt + enduring cry + immortal call + incread duration This is a personal choice. I like to be the one in front cursing and tanking , this skill chain is a life saver , would say required for HC.
Shield : curse+ curse
gloves : warp +faster cast + reduce duration + reduce mana
weapon : rejuve totem + curse + curse
I own all curses.

People that have problems with reflect mobs (not even bothering mentioning reflect map mod)have NO place in party with you , they WILL 1 hit themselves and it IS funny as hell...unless you are the one 1 hitting you're self ..
This is a VERY active build ( casting 5 curses or at least the minimum 3 damage ones that fit your current group .. other 2 curses always being enfeeble + temporal chains ) and it only takes one moron to mess it all up for you . Be sure you understand this , because it will happen .. probably a lot untill you fill up your friends list with people who understand and appreciate what you are doing.


This build can do all mods except blood magic(CI). I am the one in front taking most on the damage in any other mod , no matter the combination .



I hope you will enjoy this build as much as I do .

Please do not whisper me in game , post in this thread so others who read this
benefit also.Questions and suggestions are also welcome . GL&HF
