People have been complaining about tanking? Looks fine to me. :)

I think a build like this might be good for me.

I like to go out solo to flag keeps, something like this may keep me alive longer. Also I belong to a guild, and this would be beneficial for the group. It would possibly allow me to revive the dead without dying.

In BwB when the Enemy sees me they think it's Dinner Time. Nobody can turn down an Emily Kill no matter what danger it may cause them. So ya I think this build would be a great distraction for my guild mates.

I might not be able to kill anyone but that is ok I die most the time anyways.

@LegendaryMage what race would be good for a tank like this?

Any race works really. My preferred race for a tank is Argonian.

I love it.
First, it adds variety.
Anything other than Hunding/Eternal/Julianos/Vicious, other than WB/Exec/Crystal/Ambush, is welcome.

Second, it makes DDs angry. And impatient. It causes them to make mistakes. Always a good thing.

Third, it's super fun to play.
I run a similar kind of build, slightly more aggressive though.
I can't hold as many players (three max), but then I'm not really good.
Still, I had a lot of fun last night "bricking" solo in Azu (almost made it all the way round the map).

Thanks for the vid and the ideas, Mage

I love builds that don't kill, especially if they can get attackers killed by stealing focus and soaking up their resources.

Can you make a video without that specific monster set? There have been mulitple thread's already stating the set is broken and over-performing, not being effect by battle spirit etc.

I'd like to see how your health fair's without it.

Second best set would probably be blood spawn. Malubeth is doing a bit too much healing, but it's not bugged or exploitable. It is just zOS didn't attach major mending to that extra healing so it currently stacks. TBH, till they fix it you have a very strong helm set for tanks and I'd warn against quick calls for nerfs.

Something that helps PvP tanking!? Well, we can't allow that to continue.

I will test out bloodspawn (don't like the stam regen being irrelevant while blocking though) in combination with tava's sturdy set. BS should give more damage reduction and tava should help with regenerating ultimate as well as BS's ulty buff, which could be a very good alternative.

As a pvp tank that gets hit all the time, BS should be up almost all the time and tava can be utilized with shuffle. The only thing to figure out is if shuffle up time will be too draining on the stam pool, but with unchained and a bit of training, it should work out pretty well.
