User:Mgrinshpon/Grinch Warrior

A build (in testing by myself, for quality control) designed for both tanking in PvE, RA and AB. It allows more tanking with a monk, due to the decreased damage that Shield of Judgement Offers. If you have suggestions, place them in the discussion page.

Equipment

 * A Totem Axe or, prefferably, a max Zealous Axe of Enchanting with +15% Damage while Enchanted.
 * A second weapon of any sort that isn't zealous, to regain energy when not attacking (if using the Zealous Axe of Enchanting).
 * A max shield that gives -2 Damage while Enchanted and +45 health while enchanted, requirement strength <10 such as the one available from Weaponsmith Nago in Wajjun Bazaar. If not, an Exalted Aegis (Strength requirement) or Merki's Gaze works well enough.
 * Choose the best (while enchanted) gear available.
 * The best Vigor rune in any armor except the chest and Absorbtion rune in your chest piece.
 * Like every just about every other warrior build known to man, this needs Gladiator's Armor with Stoneskin Gauntlets for increased knockdown.

Usage

 * Run in first with Shield of Judgement on. Whenever anyone attacks you, make them pay with it by using one of the two strikes.
 * Shield of Judgement doesn't last forever. After taking two or three hits, due to Balthazar's Spirit, Bonetti's Defense should be ready to roll. This is not only a defense, but a way to regain energy when against melee fighters.
 * Bane Signet is a skill to use when another person is attacking you and Shield of Judgement is down. Just use it, and quickly drop a Holy Strike or Stonesoul Strike for a bit of damage.

Variations
Replace Rush, Executioner's Blow, or Penetrating Blow with a method ressurection, prefferably Rush for Resurrection Chant.
