yes I know fire weakness ARGGGGGG

however I am really interested if this is possible

the biggest thing it comes down to are do the benefits outweigh the fire weakness and if we devote slots (enchants) to combatting that weakness are we worse off?

right now my tanks jewelry is all slotted with stamina cost reduction for obvious reasons, as it helps with bringing block cost, roll doge cost, skill cost, and break free cost all down. I would need to replace at least one of these with fire resistance MAYBE, more on that now!

fire resist vs spell resist. I cannot find info on how these work with each other and to the best of my ability I think that total mitigation is capped at a possible 50% and that if you are hit with say a fire spell you would use which ever is higher (spell resist or fire resist) to mitigate the damage, if that's the case then I would not need to invest in fire resist and my magic resist is almost capped (around 45%) from being a tank

please correct that if I am wrong

vamp perks strictly from a tanking perspective:

-resource management, vamp gives 10% to both spell and feat cost reduction, solid.
-low hp damage reduction, while as a tank you should never be in the position of being at low health stuff does happen and this could prevent a possible death.
-ult might be useful, I don't know how the invis works against mobs and devouring might be nice for large pulls thanks to the hp return.
-mist form maybe, if something happens to the healer and you need to buy time, also last I checked HoT effects seem to persist while in mist form, though this could have changed, on my NB I used to funnel health and mutagen before misting to get health back.

big downsides
-lack of hp regen, all your healing is going to be from heals with no passive healing, maybe not a big deal with healers that you should have.
-fire weakness. . .ARGGGGGG
