I’ve talked to some people and gotten good advice on my magden build already... but I just bought greymore today and on Xbox that means I’ll be grinding some stuff in a few days. I haven’t literally crunched any numbers but I have a good idea of what I’m trying for. You’ll be able to see from my choices that I do intend on occasionally killing people but more so in a hectic group environment than dueling. I want to know if you folks think this is a good idea for tanking and sustaining. Like tanking hard.
My general theme is that in new meta, whatever it turns out to be, I want to achieve tankyness through percentage based mitigation, high health, and permablock?? And and vampire and mist form.
Back bar, sword n board, crest of cyrodil, stam recovery health health heal 8000 when blocking once every 5 seconds.
Two rings of cyrodils crest. One uh... let’s say hands?
Mythic item chest piece blood lords embrace. Something like... when you bash a single target when you block attacks from that target you gain like 1500 magic can occur once a second.
Mythic item torc of conal constancy. Something like... when max stam is under half increase Magic recovery by 450 and vice verse.
Balorghs helm n shoulders.
Ice staff, waist, legs, and feet of clever alchemist. Health, health, spell damage, pop a potion get like 650 spell dmg for 20 seconds.
I’m going to put some attribute points into health. Run arctic blast for burst heal in combination with mesmerize for aoe stuns. Block block block, bar swap, bash block block heavy attack mist form.
Block cost reduction glyph. Blah blah. Do you think that sounds survivable? I think it might be amazing. I’m going to use heroic slash and shimmering shield for ulti gen and try to stay in vampire ulti as much as possible. Do a little ice damage for minor maim, correct?
Accepting all advice I have no idea if this is good. I think it might be OP?

Also I think this was theory crafted with good intentions, but I dont see this working at all outside of a zerg. (anything works in a zerg)PC NA - EP's Greatest Support1 -

✭Crap. Thought I figured something out. Well that wrecks the whole idea.
Assuming I find another way to go about the same thing... why won’t this work outside a Zerg? As a matter of fact I do want to run it in big fights but I also think it would be good for solo tanking 4 to 8 people. Why not?0 -

You really don't need the 2 mythics to sustain prema blocking.
Go Argonian
5x Robes of the Hist- Waist, Hands, 2 rings, amulet(stronger than Cyrodiil Crest)
5x Clever Alchemist - Ice Staff, Chest, Legs, Feet(heavy)
2x Balorghs - Head, Shoulder(heavy)
2x Defensive Position - Back Bar - Sword, Shield
All armor prismatic, All jewelry infused + Glyph of Potion Speed.
Green Bull Netch.
You can put all/most attributes in magicka, your HP is high enough.
Don't think you can get out of resources on this setup. It will be very hard to bring you down. with vamp ulti+Balorghs , you actually have respectable offensive capabilities.1 -

For one you just won't be tanky enough. I've run tanks for years in eso. I used to run a zerg tank back when you could with real permablock. The most tanks can do now depending on if you're a stand your ground tank or a unstoppable misting tank using LOS to be unkillable, with the stand your ground method the best it gets say a large group of pvp noobs come along which today usually end up getting us but a few times they just don't know how to drop your block or that they need to and as long as you manage resources carefully unkillable. Two great players can also in these new patches drop a tank maybe a minute or two... There are things that can be done. Robes of the hist is good of course it is light so jewelry weapons maybe 1 piece light for resources, goes real well with battalion defender. Thing is this build is amazing while block is up but drop block and bam it's over lol.

After more consideration, I think blue bettey will be better as you will probably have enough stamina sustain to support blocking/Defensive Posture skill. You need the extra magicka sustain more(if you take the frost staff passive ofc).
Also, you can consider changing Robes of the Hist with "Winter's Respite Set" and adjust attributes accordingly. Same healing potential as hist and will support your group as well(as this is mostly a group gameplay build as you mentioned).
Gripping Shards skill will trigger the set.0
