Talent guides/PvM/Melee late game defensive
< Talent guides | PvM
This PvM build uses 378 talent points to maximize defensive talents, while still providing solid DPS.
Tier 5 talents Guardian and Executioner can be swapped as necessary, with Guardian providing more consistent DPS, and Executioner providing a large DPS boost on high health enemies to execute them.
Tekton's Rage and Ghommal's Might should be changed based on whether you're using one handed or two handed weapons.
