Ardeth

D2,609

Although Ardeth has no real defensive abilities, his ultimate can provide some surprising damage, whilst also providing magic vulnerability, which is paired with a sizable health buff, decent self-heal and a stun. He may not have shields or extra defense but with his good base stats Ardeth can still do it all. A surprisingly good tank in a class filled with greats, Ardeth can and will do the job, but there are so many other good choices here.
