Sorc tank

Kingslayer · April 2014

Hi This is to do with my wanting to level my one hand and shield line. I am wondering how i should go about my build, Am i ok going light armor and having bound armor and boundless storm on my bar?. Or should i go full heavy?.

Bound Armor morph Bound Aegis, wearing 7/7 light armor will have you capped on spell resist and armor. To be honest, a sorc tank has no reason to go heavy armor, the additional healing received isn't worth giving up all the spell cost reduction.

As you will be capped on your armor and resist, it's either Boundless storm or Bound Armor in my opinion, not both.

Dark Magic as a sorc tank is your friend. CC options, the morphed ultimate Absorption Field is great, and the instant cast proc Crystal Fragments is handy for extra damage, or getting a pesky mob off your healer.

I personally like my Hardened Ward for taking the edge off hits.

Either/or here. I would personally go with only boundless storm and skip bound armour. Storm should get you to overcharged on it's own, is fairly easy to keep up, and you have tons of mana regen. Bound armour is a nice fire and forget buff, but it doesn't do anything for your spell resist, so imo, I'd only take it for the heavy attack buff morph.

It wouldn't hurt to have a couple of heavy armour pieces, but you could totally go 7/7 light.

The AOE root in the dark magic tree is blatantly awesome for any sorcerer, especially a tank. I also like velocious curse for a nice AOL nuke.
