In general I recomend players to wear 5 pieces of heavy, however if you have good friends to do dungeons with regulary, it's best to adjust to the group to get overall better results in dungeons.Steel_Brightblade wrote: »What he said but with an added:
Give it a try with guild friends for testing, sounds interesting and you may find that it suits your play style.
I'm currently in the process of getting gear to get my standard hist bark dk tank to swap to 5 medium pieces with reinforced, been told I'll hate it by a few people but that hasn't stopped me getting ready to try it out for myself. Also received some helpful advice and encouragement from a few (less of those though).
I'm levelling my Nord DK because I want to switch my Imperial to a Stam DPS, I was wondering if a health recovery build (PvE) is viable for tanking.
My Idea was 5 Orgnum (or Willows Path), 5 Permafrost and 2 Engine Guardian.
Most of the new builds are heavily based on ultimate regen and warhorn spam but I want to try something different.
Is it worth it?
Regen does NOT get cut in half in combat...it gets DOUBLED outside of combat, so you have 3k regen on stat sheet, that's the regen you have in combat. Sooo.....yeh. Also health regen builds work fanTASTIC with templar max health builds, nord, and using blazing shield primarily. 55k health, 4.5k health regen, takes a LOT to take me down. Casting blazing shield every three seconds sustained. Your doing crazy damage for a tank too. GL and have fun
