1.6 Imperial DK Tank Attributes Question?

deathmasterl_ESO

So for any VR14 Imperial DK's or any Tanks, I'm curious as to what you have now for your Attribute points for tanking, currently I'm sitting at 15 Magicka, 32 Health, and 15 Stamina. Everything works out fine as far as managing resources, but I'm wondering if I should focus more on stamina now, cut a few from health, or keep things as is.

Current stats w/o food buffs
Heavy Armor
Sets: Hist Bark 5/Vampires Kiss 4

Magicka: 11212 M Regen: 514 Weapon Damage: 1348 Spell Damage: 1144
Health: 24686 H Regen: 763
Stamina: 12087 S Regen: 514
Spell Resistance: 20871 Armor: 20193

Will post skills as well if people are interested.

Anyways any input is welcome.

That's way too much health for my taste, but that's just my personnal opinion

He's a tank, he's supposed to have 25k health.

These stats look fairly similar to those flying in our guild chat last night. You could use a bit more armor and spell resist, though. The hard cap is 32.5k if I remember correctly. But Wards give about 6k together, so it's pretty close.

Hmm I've heard it was around 25k for max mitigation. Although that could be wrong. With wards I would hit if not get close to the cap then.

Also keep in mind I don't have a 3rd Jewelry set to flush out my build atm. And quite frankly not sure which set I should look at going for/getting.

But overall from whats been said attributes seem to be in order.

Looks pretty good, use Razor Armor for the extra Spell Resistance/Armor, then you won't really need to get sets or enchantments to boost it, so long as Razor Armor gets you to the 32.5k cap, or right below it.

Well have 5 Piece Hist Bark, and 4 Piece Vampires Kiss atm, also if I remember correctly I have main pieces of armor enchanted with Health, with minor pieces enchanted with Stamina and Magicka.

I would like to start looking into a 3 Piece set for Jewelry though so any suggestions?

Footman or Unassailable is nice for tanks, other jewelry that isn't technically a tank set works well to, play around with different stuff, if you're low on stamina, go for stamina jewelry sets, vice versa if you have magicka issues

Well changed my main tanking skill line up as follows:

Pierce, Unstable Flame, Volatile Armor, Flames of Oblivion, Green Dragon Blood - Ultimate Ferocious Leap

Results from testing in Craglorn, I have to say I'm quite pleased and shocked how changing 3 skills has changed my survival when fighting against massed enemies solo. I've been able to take on much larger groups including VR13 Groups that I've had extreme struggles with before like they were nothing now, and just with the S&B on top of it.

Only problem I have is I run out of Stamina pretty quick if I'm not careful, but starting to get the hang of management now, but I might start looking for a Jewelry Set that add's more Stamina Regen.

Don't get Stam Regen, it's not as useful as everyone thinks, get Block Cost Reduction or Stamina Cost Reduction, recovery is bleh, and you already get a large boost to it from GDB

deathmasterl_ESO

Well already wearing 2 Rings that drop Stamina Cost, so set there unless I can find higher level ones.

Oh btw, with a food buff

Health jumps up to 28770, Stamina to 15519 so have quite a bit of health to deal with lol.

Rosveen

What are your thoughts on Coagulating Blood instead of Green Dragon?

deathmasterl_ESO

Well... not sure about CDB, over GDB, I'm sure it has it uses, but I for one can't see using it on a Tank style character, the Heal and Stam Regen for me is the better choice.
