Any other tank builds?

I have a gs marauder now (Jerk), I love tank builds...
But I want to try something different for the next patch.
Anyone know of any other viable tank builds?

Elemental ranger with iron reflexes is pretty tanky, you will find dozen threads about it

Crit-based CI with evasion, high ES and Surgeon's Granites is pretty tanky as well.

High blocking tempest shield and/or molten shell is amazingly tanky. Can pull it off with Templar or Ranger pretty easily.

Sounds interesting... would like more info :)

Any others?

My armour-crit staff templar is very gear dependent but works quite well.

An axe-board build I'm looking into, built around Neokolza's diamond unique champion shield. Can get away with much lower reduction with that thing, since ES indirectly provides mitigation. Tag skill in this build is IB, so just edit out the fire/AoE passives to do something more normal.

That shield is going to bring a whole new meaning to ES tanking. Examining the math, at 50% reduction, with 2k ES and 2500 armour (easy enough stats to reach), your ES will only eat 7% of the damage coming its way.

My 75% block chance Templar with 46% chance to block spells. I tell ya what currently my damage is ass with Tempest Shield but Molten Shell clears up mobs easily. When a hit gets through my energy shield can usually take it. I really need to clean up that tree though.

Not yet linked in the unique tracker, but I can link the candidate art:

That's... quite GOOD. Do you know the implicit block chance perhaps?
