Ultimate Tank

Build Overview

A faith and strength tank reflect build focused on the Climber's Pick - the best one-handed hammer with excellent charge attack combos. This zero/low focus build emphasizes extreme survivability with 730 HP while dealing damage through charge attacks and comprehensive blocking mechanics.

Key Features

  • Climber's Pick Mastery: Best one-handed hammer with superior charge attack combo and 4% health gain on charge attack for constant sustain
  • Dual Ring Strategy: Snake Ring (must-have) for block damage, Thistle Ring for non-blocking damage - they don't stack but cover all damage scenarios
  • Low Focus Synergy: Drain focus enchants on all armor maximize "at low focus" bonuses like +30% healing and +20% damage reduction
  • Maximum Resistance: Blocking brings all resistances to 75-85% cap, with status affliction backup providing same protection when unable to block

Playstyle

Aggressive Tanking: Walk or run directly to enemies and charge attack as your main DPS. It's okay to get hit - you'll tank it and get HP back every time you hit them back.

Block and Reflect: Blocking also damages enemies while maximizing your resistances. The shield provides both armor and resistance when guarding. Extreme Survivability: 730 HP (probably overkill, but a tank is a tank), stamina recovery on all armor pieces to counter ring penalties, and comprehensive damage reduction systems ensure maximum survivability.
