Best tank build against each boss

Bosses take more damage from some damage types and less from others, so the best weapons and artifacts change from boss to boss. Damage taken is how hard the build's damage mix hits that boss: above ×1.00 it plays to the boss's weaknesses. Under each build, the best melee, ranged and rolling build against that boss, scored against it.
