MA Tank

jaazaniah1

Suddenly, I had an urge to create a (mostly) MA tank based (mostly) around Chi effects. Equally suddenly, I had the urge to create a Nubian lion god. I smushed them together. This is the result. Guard and Brimstone because I want to use a specific weapon skin (why is Cudgel not a HW skin???). Wondering if I should opt for Form of the TIger?

I guess the toggle/form choice will somewhat depend on what your general attack rotations here are. FotM can't proc on quite everything here as is, but one upside to FotTiger is that Brimstone can now proc it, however FotM procing from BCR is also kinda nice. You could also opt to get the dodge boost back on TKicks, but then you'd have to drop the Demolish adv or apply it some other way (taking BCF to R3 and not worrying about the debuff is also okay, imo). If you wanted to free up some adv points then you could take a rank off the Ult, but it's up to you.

Here's an example edit of it, but it's just one option of many, kinda depending on what you want to shore up:
