I was wondering if there was such a build to where i could sustain more damage without trouble.

don’t get me wrong, this build is pretty good.
I was just wondering what other type of damage soaking builds are out there?
and what stats would i want on my armor and weapons? power and vitality?

Go Knight’s gear Pow/Pre/Tuf or Soldier’s Pow/Tuf/Vit (more tanky, less damage) with 30 Valor which gives 30% critical damage (meaning your crits will deal 180% of base damage), 300 Toughness, and with Altrustic Healing that heals you every time you give a boon to yourself or allies. Valor has options for survival, damage, and support from traits.

i run with this:

points in radiance give extra precision and a blind. i swith between GS and hammer and scepter/focus , mace/shield as needed.
with soldier gear i’m pretty hard to kill.

also – don’t use sanctuary if you can help it. Shield of the Avenger does almost exactly the same while lasting 20 sec (more if you trait for it) instead of 6!
Shield of the Avenger + Wall of Reflection are my two best friends in fractals.

For tanking Soldier is the way to go. You won’t be doing as much dmg because your crit % and crit dmg will be low. You can also go Cleric which you use your high healing stat to stay alive.

For traits 0/5/30/30/5, is your best bet. So that way you can max toughness and vitality.
