The Companion Executioner(a chanter tank build)

[Darab Masood]

So I like to play a tank chanter that just sits and everything burns around him. But I noticed that he would die sometimes. I wanted a character that was invulnerable and at the same a very efficient AoE damage dealer without relying on any per rest abilities or consumables.

The Executioner 

Difficulty: Normal

Solo:Yes(intended)

Class: Chanter

Background: Rauatai/Drifter

Race: Wild Orlan(for defiant resolve and head slot)

Starting stats:

might: 18

con:18

Dex:3

Int:18 

Res: 9

Skills:

Stealth and mechanics early game.

Than stealth(to reduce tedium) and survival(+15 accuracy)

Early game use the phantom summon and stealth and beetle summon for safety as well as the blunting belt. This build shines with stronghold adventures on so hire a companion to do the quests. Basically the head slot is the executioners hood. The fear enchantment gives you effective +10 defense. The dazed gauntlets do the same again while reducing enemy attack speed. As a chanter tank you should be getting hit all the time. Cloak of comforts defense bonus stacks with ring of protection/deflection and its armor bonus compensates for the blunting belt and ryonas low armor rating. You can use lavender wreath to eat mind grubs without getting sick. The head slot was missing preservation from garodhs chorus so I used malinas boots(which also gives move speed bonus for faster map cleanup). This combined with the little savior will make you invulnerable during stun and prone. I didn't use consecrated ground because it was triggering rarely because of high defenses.

Talents: All the defensive ones + beloved memories 

Phrases: dragon trashed. It stacks with itself so just keep using it. You can also use her courage thick as steel.

That's it. With this build you can face tank llengrath and just gather enemies into giant crowds and light them on fire because you will just outheal whatever damage you get thanks to beloved spirits.

An effective build for ultimate running, it seems. Little Savior aside, any other weapons slot suggestion?

[Darab Masood]

I mean you just sit tight I guess. And let the dragon chant/summon do their thing. Before little savior you can buy redfield from larha in old song for the harbinger passive which gives an extra effective +3 melee defense.

Yes, I guess Captain Viccilo's Anger can add more defensive stuff by the way.
