Kildok the Primal Tank
Build Goal and Tactics:
You can take a hits better than most. Your punishment some would consider sub optimal but we make it up with Crippling Crush, Earth's Punishment, and Sudden Roots. You make it so running away isn't an option, with Treacherous Ice,Form of the Entangling Spider, Form of the Crushing Mountain. Oh, silly Koval wait just one minute! What if they teleport? Well silly, i have a feyslaughter warhammer, so they can't poof. What makes Kildok tough? He has the most health possible for any class, unless that class went 20 Constitution and i would not grab for the maximum, for loss of accuracy.
Believe me when i say we still keep it real with our durability.Brooch of Vitality+Toughness+Goliath Juggernaut give us a nice chunk of health. Oh did i almost forget to mention once again that now you roll twice for all your saves and that you can take two of them before your turn even starts thanks to Enduring font. Facing a BBEG? Undying Vanguard is the ability that will take you to your peek, aura/forced movement/ongoing damage/granting combat advantage gone. Oh yea you come into an encounter with 15 temporary hit points thanks to lifeblood armor.
Being a Goliath brought alot of fantastic touches to Kildok. Vicious Advantage can make sure that those affected by your movement hindering effects help hit the one guy you really want to hit gets hit. With Unyielding Stone you can get 24 temporary hitpoints and 15 resistance make that 24 resistance with your PP utility one encounter per day. That might create enough incentive to ignore you, well you sure jolly gosh will make sure that's a a little difficult with Marked Fury your penalty to attack rolls can rack up with more pesky monsters around you.

Discussion:
We start off going with 18 Strength and 18 Constitution, as solid as it starts for an earthstrength warden, that has a bonus to both his primary and secondary stats. We have 12 wisdom for qualifying for battle awareness and it gives us a bonus to are will which is always awesome. We also put 2 into dexterity because we can't forget about reflex and initiative is something defenders like.
We took thorn strike well because sometimes you just can't reach em, and it pulls them back. Weight of earth just brings what wardens need, to stop there opponents from running away. Roots of Stone is a close burst 1 don't run away from me or else. They get punished even more because you got earthstrength juju in you. Form of Winters Herald is an untyped bonus to AC and a close burst 2 of difficult terrain that is ally friendly. Lets not forget about the close burst 1 immobilize encounter power.
We take weapon expertise which will establish accuracy which will soon be followed up by Markings of the Victor. It will help make up for the +2 proficiency warhammer.

Discussion: You become much tougher by grabbing Toughness and Goliath Juggernaut, 20 health is nothing to laugh at. Also taking an opportunity attack is pretty hefty, It is now a melee basic attack with your consitution modifier added to your damage and a slow! The Goliath Juggernaut PP in every way will make you a showstopper on the battlefield.

You make it so running away isn't an option, with Treacherous Ice,Form of the Entangling Spider, Form of the Crushing Mountain. Oh, silly Koval wait just one minute! What if they teleport? Well silly, i have a feyslaughter warhammer, so they can't poof. What makes Kildok tough? He has the most health possible for any class, unless that class went 20 Constitution and i would not grab for the maximum, for loss of accuracy.
Believe me when i say we still keep it real with our durability.Brooch of Vitality+Toughness+Goliath Juggernaut give us a nice chunk of health. Oh did i almost forget to mention once again that now you roll twice for all your saves and that you can take two of them before your turn even starts thanks to Enduring font. Facing a BBEG?
