Dragon's Party Defender

Taking a key from Stroker and posting my defensive build. I've had great success with this build so far, although it is mostly for online play, and isn't very good on his own as I haven't chosen any attack powers for him.

Invigoration Aura: 5 (Great speed, allies kill enemies faster, run through dungeons faster)
Battle Standard: 5 (Bonus damage, bonus Armor, and HP Regen, great for placing near your casters)
Heavy Lifter: 5 (Allows damage of two handed weapon, and keep shield)
Hardiness: 5 (+100 Armor, what's not to like?)
War Cry: 5 (Extra 60 damage for all attacks, at four party members, extra 240 damage for each round of attacks)
Weapon Specialist: 4 (Will be five when I level!)

If you don't mind the loss of damage, trade out Heavy Lifter or Weapon Specialist for Vengeful Aura. It will be trained next.

I know what most people are going to say... no attack powers, no extra potions. With this build it takes a lot to get me out of the fight, and boosts my allies abilities so that they're able to take down the baddies while I just draw their fire. Very handy in boss fights to lock down the boss and keep squishies from being... squished.

Also, when I activate Invig. Aura, Battle Standard, and War Cry, it still doesn't take half my mana, so I'm quickly able to cast them again once the timer is up, so they're pretty much always active (though I don't do Battle Standard as often as Aura and Cry).

I love having these type of warriors in the party. Specially when you are a mage or a bow n arrow rouge.

Great build keep it up. once PSN goes back online hit me up if you plan on climbing the leaderboards or need help.

Interesting build pure multiplayer sounds like fun. Vengeful Aura is alright but i found i killed every thing to fast for it to be worth using but in online play things are stronger and you probly get a chance to use it more.

Only reason I take Vengeful Aura is because the build has no area attacks, so when you get mobbed, having the Aura at least makes the mobs pay for attacking you.
