I realized my Arcane Wall wasn't dealing enough damage, IGMS is practically his only offensive magic, as I won't try spells that have DC, DC is low with these guys.
So, the levels haven't changed, the real change is on the feats, as I took Improved Expertise and Autostill Spell on V1, this time, I'm trying to minimize my AC and maximize my HP, let characters hit my DR while I'm covered with Elemental Shield and Mestil's Acid Sheath, so that they kill themselves, it works very well on melees. This is a tanker.
Playable Levels: 1-40
Basically a good caster on pre-epic, might get somewhat tough on epic levels as Damage Reduction and HP boost come until high levels.
PvM, untested PvP
PvMs suicide very well against him, but PvPs can change to ranged weapon after noticing it is suicide to go melee.
Race: Dwarf
Alignment: Any lawful

Basically cast Extended Mestil's Acid Sheath (45-50 acid) and Extended Elemental Shield (23-28 fire) (68-78 total), as well as Endurance, Extended Energy buffer, Shadow Shield, and stuff that gives resistances and go tanking, leave Epic Warding only for when you need it, don't waste it or you could be sorry.
As for attack, use normal, expowered and maximized IGMS, or if you like, the same with Ice Storm, however, always leave slots for Mordenkainen's Disjunction, without it your spells won't have much use.
Equiment: Resistances and stuff, but no AC, let them hit you kills them faster, CON boosting as much as you can. Something that can make you immune to critical is definitely "the_best_equipment" for this guy.
So how do you like it, want to hit him?

... It's a little annoying not to get any replies, and it has more than 40 views already...
Hmmmm.... maybe he needed a story......
I actually started to use it, he's good in PvM, and I'm still not in epic levels, using Premonitions for DR. I'm also using Extended Death Armor, only 1d6+5 magical damage, bit it's still more, and magical is a great type of damage.
One of the things I'd like someone to clarify me is if Perfect Health is really worth it, I mean, there wasn't much to choose, I saw it and couldn't resist it, but I don't know how good it is.
Perfect health is no big deal IMO, Epic Toughness or Epic Energy Resistance (fire or acid) would be a better choice.

Epic Energy Resistance sounds better, +20 HP doesn't sounds so great to my 704, I suppose fire is the most common.... thanks.
Oh great, I just realized I could take EDR much earlier, I only need to manage 1 bonus feat at Dwarven defender 14 for that...
