Overview
This Defender hybrid PvE build focuses on mixing attack power and resistances to make the Defender into a bruiser capable of taking down all content either solo or in a party, more than able to deal damage while remaining very resistant. The build is perfect for any skill level, great for both new and veteran players.
Skill Bar
Champion Strike: Your primary damage skill. It deals solid damage and helps maintain aggro while also hitting multiple targets thanks to 
Splash Wave, further upgraded into 
Blademaster for even more damage.
Shield Throw: A versatile ability that damages and stuns enemies while also reducing its own cooldown. Be careful, though, if you miss, the shield drops to the ground and must be retrieved, leaving you with reduced armor until it’s recovered.
Assault: Your main mobility and AOE tool, letting you leap onto enemies to deal damage and apply a taunt while also offering the ability to fear the mobs taunted thanks to 
Intimidator.
Stand Behind Me: A powerful defensive buff that reflects all frontal damage back at enemies. While active, you take no damage, and allies standing behind you also benefit from reduced incoming damage.
Vanguard: A passive skill that increases your armor and magic resistance based on the number of nearby enemies (up to 6).
Mana Boost: Important for leveling, use it whenever its up and you need some mana, very straightforward.
Cleanse: Very useful when dealing with mobs and bosses that apply DoT debuffs as this clears them all out.
