This is one of my first builds. For gear I currently use Embershield heavy armor, Mephala medium for head and shoulders and robust agility or endurance jewelry.

First bar is for pure tanking in group PvE. I like to use Fragmented Shield as a way to restore stamina with heavy attacks. Ultimate can be switched before the battle depending on what you need. If damage shield is not needed I switch it with Absorb Magic ability or Power Slam for easier fights or when there are Templars in the group to help with stamina recovery.

Second bar is for solo PvE and backup DPS for battles in group PvE where a dedicated tank is not applicable. Switch in Coagulating Blood or Igneous Weapons if needed. Draw Essence is great for groups as it can basically pay for itself. If you don't need critical boost from Flames of Oblivion it should be switched out.
