The pic older than the video, when the achievement was first introduced.
Made slight improvements since then. Also it Was 2 PM really not 4 AM but no one believes me:D
Made an updated version of this build using Fevered Rage. Kill time vastly improved to 5:30 min. HC players beware and mind the gear

[i]So, Ravager, he hits like a truck and when he goes below 50% health he hits with retarded amounts of physical damage and at increased rate. After Trying a couple of active Tank builds I had this idea that it could be great to tank up even more and use his stupid strength against him via retaliation and %damage reflect. Tank/retaliation and HC fans might enjoy this.
My choice of class was commando, a solid choice, but also the only one i had at the time. Tactician and Witchblade can both pull this off, even other class combos, more on this at the end.[/i]
Video (last 5 mins of fight which are the most crucial). Overall duration is ~24 minutes and i cannot record that long:

You may or may not need Menhir’s will. I suggest you keep it and use it to gain the mod on the Shield. For Resistances you only need to concern yourself with physical resistance. The other resistances depend on the type of ravager. Mine was Ravager of Minds and did a minor poison dot. I suggest keeping Vitality capped as all forms of Ravagers do some %health damage. I also suggest filling yout the reast of armor slots with Wendigo’s Lifescent to get 20k health. Also you can replace the medal if you want with Ikrix of your choice in affixes. The one I use seemed balanced enough for the ravager I was facing
Devotion Binding:
Shield Wall -> War cry (Most important)
Stone Form -> Menhir’s Bulwark
Healing Rain -> Vindictive Falme or Field command)
What you need:
Armor: The build boasts 6.1K base armor and with shield wall up 80% of tha time you could say nearly 7K most of the time. With Stoneguard set proc and Boots it goes up to over 10k topping at 11.3K armor with all procs up
DA: Just enough. Before all the bloodied crystals i had runed topaz all over the place and it was too much. I had 4K da and with BWC he had like 50% chance to hit me. It’s overkill. Ho I decided it’s more efficient to get hit more but increase armor to be able to take it. You can try even lower DA than what I have. But make it at least 3k. Highly recommend Survivor’s Resillience.
Absorb-flat and %: Flat comes from Blast Shield that is there for you whenever Ravager goes berserk and bursts aided sometimes by Stone Form from Menhir Devotion. % Absorb comes from Menhir’s Bulwark and Menhir’s Bastion relic which you will really need. Mor on relic ability in gameplay section.
Perma Great shield damage blocked and %chance to block:
-
Ever wondered what is the use of Markovian’s Defense transmuter? Well here they are, the two reasons for it: 1. As a retaiation build, the damage penalty DOES NOT affect you. Ans 2. with the transmuter and Markovian helm you have 11.8 sec Cooldown on Overgoard. Just 1.8 sec Downtime.
-
With Shield wall up 80% of the time and Overguard 90% your Shield blocks 6908 dmg. Could be more with runed topaz but we want armor.
With Gildor’s guard poc it goes up to 7307 damage blocked
Health regen: You can’t life steal unless sume massive rr is involved maybe, a problem for many builds. So Bulwark+Tree of life are a most. Helath pots, i only used them to show that proccing Menhir’s will can be avoided. But you can do the opposite and gain a retaliation boost via Zollhan shield mods
Gameplay:
-Always have Bwc cast to rr him. Also helps after 50% health when it can get dangerous. Don’t underestimate him because you can tank most of the time. When he nears death he can sometimes burst you out of nowhere.
-
Always keep Overguard up, for obvious reasons. Take full advantage of transmuter
-
War cry. Remember that Shield wall has 7.1 CD with markovian helm and Shiled wall 7.5 sec. When War cry is ready wait just half a second and cast it. This way you will always have them both at the same time. It’s very important to remember this and make it a reflex.
-
Menhir’s bastion. A fantastic ability that gives crucial stats :15% absorb and 30% armor. You will need this when Ravager is below 50%. Sometimes Ravager will burst you suddenly after he debuffs you. Blast shield will proc. Generally if you see ~40% of your hp dissapearing at once it’s a pretty good indicative to use this ability. You can stack a health pot on top unles you want to rely on Menhir’s will for more retaliation bonus vis shield mods.
-
Blade Barricade. Just cast whenever ready
In closing:
While commando is a very solid choice, Tactician could also do it (Replace Mark helm with Octavius to have Armor from Word of renewal). They are very similar, both have rr only Tactician has linear defense from Inquis seal and commando has a greater defense when you are burst by Ravager. But in the end both will work. Witchblade is also a good choice. Good regen and better phys resist. No additional absorb is pretty scary though but doable. Good luck if you Fever him:p There are possibly other combo’s like battlemage with Turion’s Reprisal, Wardens with Myth Dawnguard etc. this build shows what any tank retaliator/tank type would need to be able to face Ravager solo.
