Finally some attrition with survivability in my build! Fighting me takes forever. You can not down me quickly, I am completely not what anyone expects.

Everyone melts around me while I just deathshroud life siphon. Sure I took a hit to my damage but I have already said, I would gladly give it up to be tanky.

I wont die anymore to focus, let the glassys burn around me

Please dont nerf me.

When I have tested this build and refined it I will share. I was hoping others would be able share some of their tankier builds so I could get a feel for what is working for others.

I assume you are talking about your typical MM/shroud build. Yes, it can take a beating, at one point my shroud health was simply not going down at all.

Would love to see your build

Just wait till you meet Mr Stun Lock, in which with these new specializations, at least two classes can solo lock you and one of them can even get you through DS. You are correct though that there is a noticeable increase in survivability, in particular with my encounters with blood bond and siphons in DS, but only if you’re allowed to free cast.

No, It is not your typical at all, I only run the flesh golem and sometimes a wurm for stunbreak depends on which master trait I run.

If stun locks an issue, perhaps I should run FITG.

I have 32k health, I transfer condis in 3-4 different ways. I life siphon on wells and run my ally siphon. I have fought burn guardians, mesmers, warriors, thieves and barely had my health moved. However I have yet to test it on an engi.

I dont run spite, at all. I don’t think spites that great anymore.

Its pretty good, I would like a bit more damage, I will post it later for people to help me determine how it can be improved.

Go ahead and post it now, nothing wrong with input. Here is my tank build:

I’m still messing around with the runes, just having fun with them. I’m not even sure if the summoned pets benefit from the traits.

Well I havent decided on the sigils although generosity right now is a must.

I also havent decided on the runes, I like the Wurm but there may be a better option, not sure I actually need the vitality but I do think this build needs ferocity. My crit chance is fine due to Death Perception.

I really liked this build last night, burning barely touched my health and I had alot of shroud uptime.

My damage is something you have to do over time, you have to attrition. Death shroud damage was great of course.
