SAP TANK build - returning player

Hi didn't play the game for many many years and just downloaded the game now.

I remember having fun with my old sap tank build for my magicka nightblade using the siphon line for skills.
Wearing heavy armor, sword and shield and strong self healing.

I remember it got a huge nerf at that time. Is the build possible right now?
I am okay if it not that strong, it was funny to me.

Do anyone have a guide to follow? I am very newbie. Can not replicate that build on my own...

Thanks!

    They killed it.

    If you want to try to make one, you could always throw on Leeching from Imperial City Prisons with Bahraha’s Curse from Hew’s Bane.

    If you want a decent Nightblade tank, I was messing around with editor and made a build video for a friend a patch or two ago that I’ll post down below for you to reference…

    one of the new sets from the endless archive (the one for for nightblade) could get you closer to what you are looking for.
    At least 3 of each class. PVPing Since IC.

    I was thinking that it might not be the best because a percentage increase to an already small number would be tiny, but I completely forgot the reduced costs on the skills.

    This might be a great option now.

    Thanks a lot Tyrant_Tim for the video! I will start from this base and see what happen.
    Quick question, why did you put 10 stam and 10 magicka points? Just to understand

    Also nice to know that there is a nice set to look for! Thanks Sharquez

    I don’t believe I had all tri-glyphs when I put those points in, normally you want to full send your points into health because resource management is trivial with the new CP system.

    Wow. Haven't heard the term "sap tank" in years. I suppose one could work well in a dungeon, but would have a hard time in a non-Craglorn trial

    My Sap Tank was my most fun back then in PVP /sniff :'(
    My TTBK (Time to be killed) was approximately doubled in keep fights. Was so much fun. Wasn't OP either like some of the Troll tanks of later years.
