If you’re talking about farming mobs, I believe you need at least lvl 26 for that. But use the aura that does dmg to everything around you, the one that does dmg back to melee attackers, and then heal aura. That’s pretty much it. You can throw a thorns potion on top of that, if you want to get really fancy with it.

It's extremely simple really. Use those 3 auras that was mentioned before and these tactics:

Everything else can be anything

So its been many years for me on the KotBS. Can you not solo on this class using the defensive build and killing with the damage that is dealt back anymore? I remember making a tanky build and just letting people kill themselves by attacking me. Not possible here?

It is possible, in fact everyone suggested this in this thread in the previous posts :)

Another question:

For PvE AoE farming, would you guys suggest stacking wounds, stacking toughness, keeping them equal, or something else entirely?

For SC/RvR this won't work, people will just stop hitting you and walk away.

Keep in mind that the Toughness stat has crappy effect on PVE, so stack armor (best stat for pve), avoidance skills like block/parry (2nd best) or wounds (3rd best).
