Need help making shield brawler

    Since being pure AGI brawler makes me tanky at least on normal bosses I still find it difficult against minibosses. They seem to have incredible hit rate so I'm going for Shield Tank HP Dodge Stun brawler. I'm hoping you guys can help me to which one I need. The purpose of using brawler and high AGI is to have not only good HP but also good dodge rate as well. This build's ATK is weaker than going pure AGI early but I'm maxing out AGI in the future anyways so I'm satisfied for now even with lower damage.

    So here's my proposed stats:
    170 AGI
    30 VIT
    then after that go for
    1AGI:1VIT:0.5CRIT (Or 2AGI:2vit:1crit)

    As for the skills, I propose
    Martial arts
    LVL5 smash
    LVL10 Sonic wave
    LVL10 Bash
    LVL1 Shield break (So I can Triple kick spam with save smite combo and gain some aggro)
    LVL5 Earthbind (To learn TK)
    LVL10 triple kick
    LVL10 Aggravate

    Shield
    LVL5 Shield mastery
    LVL10 Protection
    LVL10 Aegis
    LVL10 Force shield
    LVL10 Magical shield

    Others
    LVL1 Holy fist (For fast finisher or combo starter etc.)
    LVL1 MP charge
    LVL10 light armor mastery (Not sure of this one since I don't know the increase in dodge and evasion)

    Future skill addons
    Sober Analysis lvl10
    (Total of 15 needed SP)
    HP Boost lvl10 (Total of 15 needed SP )

    Godspeed lvl10(For extra AGI total of 20SP needed)

    There should be leftover SP with current cap but my problem is, how do I keep my HP up without revitas? Should I go mini heal? Any suggestions or objections?

    IMO, you should have maxed HP Boost instead of Force/Magic Shield. 1st, it gives the same amount of Flat HP(1000) for less SP. And 2nd, it also increase your Base+Vit HP by 20%

    Heavy Smash is also a great skill against Physical bosses. It's a bit slow(about the same as Bash), but 25% Damage Reduction is great, not only for you, but for your whole pt as well.

    Hmm... How long does heavy smash debuff stay though? I think I might have to lower sonic wave and smash if the duration and chance is the same, which means not focusing on dps. Might consider getting HP boost early too

    It's kinda hard to tell since there's no visual effect of the debuff, and I only have Lv1. However, iirc NineArts(or was it another brawler veteran) said it procs consistently at Lv5. But I'm fairly sure that it's more than 5sec.
