Foresworn, Sorcery Tank build

Looking at the drops from the Ladyhawke/Dr. Ka arc, I started to think this might be a viable build. So far (lvl 37) it's been quite enjoyable. At this point, I'm trying to decide on my last power pick, and am open to suggestions. My current choices currently are Unbreakable (a second AD), Hex of Suffering (magic resistance debuff), or Circle of Primal Dominion (more resistance and KB defense).

Other tweaks are also welcome, but at present, I am really happy with the playstyle. Poz keeps my stacks up, and Void Shift brings the mobs damage debuff to about 27%. Question: would I lose effectiveness moving Challenge from Invocation to Poz?

    If you were to get a 2nd AD as a tank, it prob should be R3 MD if you wanted a mitigation option. Otherwise, due to the shared cd changes (and Resurgence's relative strength atm), I'd consider getting something other than a 2nd AD. A self-res also won't be as useful to a tank since you'd lose all aggro upon death, and Rebirth will damage your health over time when used as well. Hex or Infernal's Wisp could be good for the Magic dmg debuff, but also cause they both have Fear advs, so you wouldn't necc need Void Shift w/ adv for that.

    As for changing Challenge to Pillar, there's pros and cons either way. Storm has a larger radius for wider AoE tagging, but Pillar is more convenient to tap for 2ndary Challenge against bosses, since you'd already be using it anyways for the other things it adds to the build. So I'd say it's just up to you.

    I forgot Fractal Aegis. That's a good opener and buff while I'm building Defiance stacks.
