Talent guides/PvM/Melee late game defensive
< Talent guides | PvM
 |
This PvM build uses 323 talent points to maximize defensive talents, while still providing solid DPS.
You can swap the Tier 5 talents Guardian and Executioner as needed; Guardian provides consistent DPS, while Executioner offers a large burst to execute high-health enemies.
For increased damage reduction, replace your Tier 5 pick with Absolute Unit.
Tekton's Rage and Ghommal's Might should be changed based on whether you're using one handed or two handed weapons.
