Guide

Here is build I'm currently using to run Arah all paths and some FotM runs.

Knight armor type should be used with this (Power+Precision+Toughness).
Just keep in mind, that stat wise: you gain 5% of your toughness as Power, so it becomes a bit more valuable stat; you gain 5% of Power as Vitality if activate trait (and also you gain Vit from your Tough - 5% of tough -> power and 5% of all power -> Vit).

Food: I'd suggest Omnomberry pies as they allow you to heal as you crit with some chance.

You can customize build a lot by simply changing some skills or traits.

Current version is DPS-shifted.

To make it Tank-shifted (but still capable to dps) change:
Last Stand -> Shield master
Get Furious reaction trait instead of one of Arms traits
Slashing power -> Great fortitude
Signet of fury -> Endure pain

You can tweak it more, just use imagination.
