DPS tank
This build is based off of Strimtom's build found here https://forums.ddo.com/index.php?threads%2Fbasic-dragonlord-build-to-get-started.10120%2F#post-106500 and just made it more tanky. Drahgon was the first to try a tanky version of this that I know of and after seeing him play his version of it and talking with him I made one as well. Drahgon is a excellent tank to have when you need a tank, and contributes very well to the party's DPS.
This is my version of Drahgon's build.
For comparison here are key stats from BoloGrubb Trapping tank against Gijo Dps tank with trapping. I am twaeaking this build everytime I TR it. I am about to start my third version of it. Each time it is just some minor tweaks.
Bolo - level 34 - 12 fighter/ 5 paladin/ 3 artificer
Attack speed = 15%
Doublestrk = 23%
Melee Power = 151
Heal amp = 318
AC = 517
Dodge = 27%
fort = 376%
PRR = 398
MRR = 253
Incorp = 10%
Conceal = 25%
Eff Hitpoints = 66,522
Threat Gen = 1,533
Gijo - level 34 1 rogue/3 bard/ 16 Dragon Lord
Attack speed = 45%
Doublestrk = 71%
Melee Power = 216
Heal amp = 160
AC= 370
Dodge = 28%
Fort = 360%
PRR = 329
MRR = 100
Incorp= 10%
Conceal = 50%
Eff Hitpoints = 61,913
Threat Gen= 1,170
Much of the DPS is generated with Swashbuckling requiring the use of Light Armor. For Greater Single weapon fighting you do need a 7 balance, I am able to get that because of tomes and only 4 points spent on the Balance Skill. You might need to put more points in Balance, just something to be aware of. I am still playing around with skill points and where to spend them. UMD is a problem in heroics, but once you get into epics you end up with more then enough UMD.
You can trap on this build but will need a good trapping item or two for swapping when getting traps. I use a Legendary Greensteel Intelligence skills item (+39 to Disable and search) with the SpyGlass from Crystal Cove (Level 32 insightful Intelligence +6, Exceptional Astute skills +10, and slotted with a diamond of Inteigence +14).
I have also spent 6 skill points into Perform so I can sing Bardic Inspiration, giving +4 to all skills (trapping, search, etc) may or mat not be needed depending on your trapping items. Since there is no risk to failing an open lock, I only spent 7 ranks there and use a Legendary Greensteel Dex skills item (+39 to Open locks).
I can get my disable device to 134, search to 137 and open lock to 90
The Build files can be found on my Discord channel.
Both build files have gear listed as well using the DDO Builder V2 found here. https://forums.ddo.com/index.php?threads/ddo-character-planner-ddobuilder-version-2.554/
