So I picked the last day of double XP month to suddenly come up with the idea of making this build, go figure. Anyway, the idea behind this toon is a dragon with almost unbreakable scales. I've seen at least two other Bestial builds over the past couple of weeks here so this probably won't be that different. This is my take on handling the theme and this is what I came up with before I saw the other builds. Testing in the battle station against team size 5 hard mobs, I barely got hurt at all. This was with Merc and 15 SCR secondary gear. I also didn't have energy issues. I don't know how well that compares to "real world" experience like alerts, adventure packs, and endgame content. I need help fine tuning this build...

PowerHouse (Link to this build)

The actual link doesn't match what I have above due to the site being outdated. I currently have two unspent adv points. I thought about the Rip and Tear! adv for Bestial Fury but I seem to apply bleeds just fine and I didn't notice any energy problems. Maybe I can put the Furious adv on Pounce? Perhaps Evanescent Emergence on Resurgence to also apply Furious? Should I forego Quills on Antagonize to get rank 3 instead?​​

    Maybe instead of Aggressor or CoPD you could work in good old Ego Surge with Nimble Mind. Just trying to beat Flow to it :)

    I'm so used to putting Ego Surge on almost everything since it outshines the other AOs in most cases. At this point it would be a matter of getting that extra power or sticking a bit closer to theme and being slightly weaker. I would like to keep CoPD to really make sure I can keep up aggro.​​

    Well, if ur tired of ES/NM, then yea Aggressor is an okay pick for a Str/AotB build. Ice Sheath, Imbue, and LnL are still decent non-ES/NM AOs in general (or Ascension for the heal boost).

    Yea I'd pass on ranking up the end builder here. The Furious adv on Pounce is pretty good; EE on Resurgence is more situational if you already have an AO for the hold break (the cd is too long to take it for the Furious aspect, imo). I don't think you'll have issues stacking bleed to need Quills on the block, but its up to you.

    You may want to consider getting Messy on Eviscerate, as taps of it can refresh both Bleed and Shredded then. May also want to consider getting Challenge on Thrash and Massacre. Depends a bit on ur planned rotation, though.

    I am surprised you didn't get Str PSS, but Con PSS works alright as an alternative.
