These may change slightly but the general idea is to boost evasion, and have as much armor rating as possible. Rally is upgraded asap for the defense boost.ДЇor armor, I'd get Bergen's Honor, Evon's Mail, Gloves of Diligence, and Cailan's Greaves Starfang and Duncan's/Howe's Shield as weapons Cinch of Skillful Maneuvering, Spellward, Lifegiver and Ring of the Warrior/Ring of Ages as accessories. Reaver augments Taunt and Threaten, while Templar provides one more CC. Overpower and Assault are ignored till very late into the game as damage dealing is not the priority.ДЇor specialization, I'd usually pick Champion first and Templar or Reaver second, unless it's Alistair, for whom obviously Champion comes second. I guess you can work out the ability progression yourself, there's not much that can really go wrong. Taunt and Threaten are also picked up early. Flanking immunity is the first priority after Shield Wall. The defensive shield abilities are filled out as soon as available.

STR - as low as possible capping at 42 modified.ДEX - bulk of the points, if not everything everything is better. It's your choice of course, but here I'd like to mention how I like my defensive tanks in general. You should get enough CON from your gear, but it's up to you.ДЄ CON focussed build will surely work, although if it's near immortality you are looking for a DEX tank works far better. Perfect Striking gives +100 attack for 15 seconds, and it's made a difference for me in the Deep Roads. My build is a little different from the standard build which is get the shield defense line early. it may have been unnecessary with a warrior but I wanted all these abilities at 12. if you have a Formari Tome, you can have level 4 by Ostagar.After I max Combat Training, Persuasion was the next to get points into.ДЄt level 12 I used 3 tomes. Persuasion 1 at character creation, Combat Training 3 at Level 3, Combat Training 4 at level 6. Skills-You have a good start with 2 in Combat Training. I then put a few points in dex as needed to meet the ability minimums. I went with the premise that the best offense is a good offense. Stats-all strength to 32 at the start so I could get Assault as soon as possible.

I've only been knocked out a few times, except when I got swarmed.
