Tanking in Trials

Anil235

I just respecced my Stamina DK into a tank, with around 270 CP and 31k health. I'm running 5pc armor master and 4 of Allessia's. 2 infused, 5 sturdy, 3/2/2 health/magicka/stamina purple enchants. All of my gear is purple. What skills and rotations should I use? With Armor Master I have hard capped resistances. I want to tank vSO at around 400 CP.

Personally, our tanks use

Tava's/Ebon/Bloodspawn or Tava's/Alkosh/Bloodspawn (only if you have alkosh jewelry). This will allow you to get a warhorn very quickly which is really what can benefit your group. The ebon or Alkosh are also great group buffs. This is what good groups want from their tanks.

Defending stance is good on both bars, have igneous shield to convert mag to stam if you run low on stam. Chains....Taunt obv, both inner fire and pierce armor. run your DK scales if your resistance ends up being lower than caps. the rest is fluff and up to you like Talons, speed pots, tri pots, etc.
