This build was heavily inspired by Tru's komodo, but adds in stormlord for some extra damage.
This was built for limbo, but works everywhere.
The number 1 goal, was to maintain the crazy tankyness of the original build, but keep up with the other tanks in terms of damage output.
Divine power from stormlord gives this 7 attacks per round, and it can self buff electric, with bonus dice from stormlord.
The major drawback, is that you do a LOT less damage without divine power up, and you only get 5 casts, lasting 9 minutes each. With a death or 2, this runs out REALLY fast. (slot gear does not merge when shifted, so there is no way to get more)
If you're modifying or fiddling with the build (everyone seems to want to take weaponspren for some strange reason), I Strongly recommend to not mess with the paragon feats. Any changes here MASSIVELY reduce your survivability, especially in limbo. In particular, the #1 best feat in the entire game for survivability is Paragon environmental adaptivity. Do not drop these.

Note here: we're taking listen only on the ranger level... Maxing listen is SUPER important for DPS, thus getting a source of SF and ESF is important. You should end up with the following:

50 ench
13 wis
13 SF+ESF (Augment these)
Total: 119 (not quite maxed unfortunately)
Heal? Why?
Healing circle actually heals quite a lot! It doesn't last very long, but throw it up before spawning, and it'll negate most of the kickback from bashing alienists or white slaad, not only for you, but for all the melee tanks!
