Another build update - this time my old DwD. Yeah, I know....but what can I say? I'm a contrarian.
At any rate, Rumpuv was often mistaken for a player named "Rumpp" when I first played him. Haven't seen that guy (or girl) back in a while so the name is all mine! You can actually see the first iteration of Rump on this board.... but that one didn't work out so well.
Rump is a tank in the purest sense - he has super thick armor and one big (but slow) weapon. He's great for pulling backspawns away from casters and picking up those who stumble and can still knock out trash mobs with a decent amount of efficiency. He also works as a front line tank as he makes most skill checks, but you have to be very strategic in your stone guard use or you could find yourself a few steps behind the party when the big hitters/casters clear out the trash. He uses a warhammer because I have a lot of unused warhammers in my bank vault.
As with most tanks, gear dependency is always an issue, but the +20 natural bonus frees up a necklace slot and while his hide skill maxes out at 120ish, he doesn't really need it to survive - that means you can sacrifice mord/breech immunities to make gear work. I suppose you could even swap out Hide skill for parry and max it out by lvl 80 to get additional critical resistance. HS Greater Restoration is great for clearing afflictions and other nasties.
Still, if you're looking to lead the party in damage, then this isn't the build for you.
