help me improve my bear

[kavanah]

Right now I use the following:

Mynas Plate Mail of Thoth
Scarab Buckler of Isis
D'Jinn Spear of Isis
Mynas Helmet of Isis

Stats with gear on:
Str 143
Dex 71
Int 24
Hit % 110
Crit 16
Dodge 31
Health 372
Regen 21
Mana 212
Regen 7
Damage:
100-126
DPS: 81
Armor 123

Any suggestions to improve tanking while still keeping some mana regen? Post your build and stats if it is better please!

Well these are pretty minor tweaks, but IMO you can drop the 16 points you have in Int, and put them in Dex. At least move 8 of them. 8 Int with the 8 you get from 1 Thoth item will still give you 16 for 1 M/s. You could also move 1 point of Str into Dex since you only need 142 for level 45 gear. In general though it's a good stat build I think. What's your skill setup?

Good catches, I did the 16 int as a base stat and did 143 meant to do 142 accidently touched the str. So I doubt I spend respec points into it right now haha. I'll wait a while when new stuff comes out. Probably close to trivial to add the 9 more dex.

For skills I have at lvl 5, Beckon, Tuant, Stomp, Hellscream, Ironblood, Evade, and Crushing Blow (sp?), and lvl 3 Super Mega Smash.

I'd flipflop the last 2, but that's probably not worth a respec either. Plus when AO3 comes out, both should be maxed (though they really have to make some change to skills right? I mean everyone will have every skill soon...)

I hate how mechanics work here. We need items that give +hp. I use evade and iron blood but when they wear off, I can easily be 2 shotted by a boss... I hate this. I'd rather have to use a pot every 5-10 seconds during a boss fight, than to be invulnerable for 20 secs and then be highly squishy!

Good point, even when I was using all str bear with all Isis gear, I found that I was "highly squishy" when iron blood and evade were off.

I posted in the feedback threads about it. Hopefully devs will take notice. Go voice your support!
