Any minor armor and spell resist buff for DKs?

vladimilianoub17_ESO1

I was wondering ,is there any minor fortitude and ward buff that I can stack with spiked armor major fort and ward buff? be it in DK class skills or any other skill lines? There isn't any right? or im missing it?

Minor ward can be found on reflective plate. Minor fortitude i believe wa sthe small health regen, that can only be found on templars reatouring aura. If you mean minor resolve stone giant gives that buff. Blessing of protection also gives minor ward and resolve (so does sturdy horn but that is an ultimate).

crap now i dont remember,to make it more clear,im looking for minor armor and spell resist.Like dk spiked armor and immovable do but im looking for minor so i can stack it with spiked armor.Reflective Plate? from which skill line is that skill?I know ransack gives you minor armor but only armor plus I prefer pierce armor than ransack.Im looking for a single skill that gives you both minor armor and spell resist if there isnt any such abilities then maybe 1 skills that gives you minor armor and other that gives u minor spell res.

Im just looking for at least 2 abilities that boost my armor and spell resist mitigation.Already have spiked armor.In live a use spiked armor and the fighters guild circle(forgot name) but the fighters guild circle in 1.6,I dont think its a viable skill for tanks anymore,sure the dmg reduction it gives its awesome but the huge stam cost it has in 1.6 will leave tanks with very few stam for blocking and using others stam skills like pierce armor.

So right now in PTS im testing using spiked armor and the medium armor active skill that gives u dodge chance.Both together are good,but still would like to know if there is a skill that gives you both minor armor and spell res in DKs skills or any other skill line.

Does anyone knows? or knows any site that list all 1.6 skills and their morphs so i can check?The problem is cant check all abilities on my toon since i have many skills i havent leveled up to see their morphs.Also at how much armor you reach the 50% dmg reduction on 1.6? Thanks for the help.

I am about to log on my laptop so i will post my google doc for you when i am on with the buffs and debuffs... but quick answer. Reflective plate is the defensive morph of reflective scales. Stone giant (earthen heart tree) give the minor armor buff. Restoration staff bless of protection gives both.

Thread that someone tested damage mitigation on PTS
http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/discussion/150429/armour-what-the-numbers-mean-in-terms-of-damage-mitigation-1-6 There was another one but couldn't find it.

If you have any questions on the skills (or buffs) in my spread sheet go ahead and ask.

My suggestion is when you do PvE stuff like dungeons or trials try and get the group to max out on buffs and debuffs in a way that no one is causing a waste of resource. For instance only one person has to use say a major fracture on a target unless you want to use an ability that does that as a dmg ability it is a waste if more than one person applies the debuff.

I put together a list last month with all the spells per buff, just look through the minor armors http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/discussion/148755/skills-abilities-listed-by-standardized-buff-debuff-effect#latest

Oops, sorry it's a bit outdated actually. I'm working on it now to match everything listed here as well http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/discussion/151658/all-1-6-2-skills-abilities-except-vampire#latest

UPDATE: the list has been fully updated

As far as I know, these are all the skills in game with these buffs (not sure about vampire abilities)

Panda244

Hardened Armor, Reflective Plate, Stonefist, Coagulating Blood... Just to name a few off the top of my head, I don't know whether they're minor/major but they all give buffs to armor/spell resist.

DKs will thankfully still be able to pull off light armor in PvP in 1.6 thanks to the buff to Hardened Armor

XEVENEX

REFLECTIVE SCALE

Grants immunity to AND reflects half of the abilities in the game. Can only reflect 4 ultimates since 5 would be OP. When cast again within 4 seconds, grants the Minor Flightless Bird buff. 100% chance to proc the Major Derp buff when flapping vs melee.

@NotSo Doesn't shadow barrier for the NB give the Major buffs? I was pretty sure they did when I went through and checked the buffs.

NotSo

@‌Nihil
You're right, it is major buffs. Made some other mistakes as well but I think I've got them all sorted out now :P
Nice google doc btw, I would leave it to you if I hadn't already put the post together last month.

@NotSo
If you want you can post the google doc on your thread. I just want to get the info out there as I think this is an important part in understanding the new update. I didn't see a post relating too it (missed your post), my post didn't have anyone comment on it.

If you know the vampires buffs / debuffs I could use that info, never did make any of my characters vampire.

NotSo

@Nihil Sure, I'll do that. I don't have any vamps either, I was only able to get the werewolf because pts templates are werewolves.

You guys think it will be a must for tanks to reach the 50% dmg reduction?I normally wear 5 heavy,1 light and 1 medium to take advantage of the undaunted passive plus a bit of light and medium passives.Do we have to wear 7 heavy pieces to reach the 50%?(32-34k armor?) Maybe using the plus armor trait on those light and med armour will help.What sux is that I have a few drop set pieces which comes with random tarits.I whish we were able to change tarits.

50% damage mitigation or 20%

As long as you can take the hit and heal up with GDB it shouldn't matter, I tank vet dungeons in all light armor on live, and use Igneous Shield to absorb all the damage, combined with Talons and Draw Essence, if sh*t gets rough I pop magma shell, mitigation really means nothing as a DK, as long as you can survive the attack and heal after it with GDB you're good.

paulsimonps

I play as a full heavy dk stamina tank and i get around 80% dmg mitigation with my armor and shield combined. If you go for mitigation as a tank remember that simbly blocking with no gear on what so ever blocks 50% so its not all that important. You get more than enough from just blocking and having your armor on you.
