Vamp for a Templar Magicka Tank?

Celestrael

So they are reducing the fire weakness of Vamps down to 25% which can pretty much be covered with a fire resistance amulet, so I was wondering if it would be worth it to go vamp for a Templar Magicka Tank? I have envisioned him being more a vampire hunter but if you can't beat em, join em, amirite?

Thoughts?

    You will need more than one amulet, but I think the channeled focus + mist form combo will be really useful in 2.1. No need to block, even if you need more skill than just block.

    I guess I should start working on procuring that bite.

    Don't you lose aggro when turning into mist form?

    Vampire's Drain Essence is also very useful against ads to regain Stamina.
    (Won't work against bosses, because of the bloody stun, but something is always better then nothing)

    I don't believe so. The description says:

    "Dissolve into a dark mist to reduce all damage dealt to you by 75% and deal 3 Poison Damage to nearby enemies every 1.5 seconds.
    While active, you are also invulnerable to control effects and healing magic."

    You don't vanish, you just become difficult to hit and can't be healed.

    Two words: Mist Tank.

    No fire resistance needed.

    I'm going for it, but acquiring a bite has been a bit harder than I thought it would be. That thread for trading bites is pretty much useless.

    So I procured a bite, but I'm having a hard time finding a good magicka templar tank build to build off of around it. Any suggestions where I can find one? Google is failing me.

    I'm not sure mist tanking would really be all that efficient in the long run, since it lasts only a few seconds and it takes a massive amount of magicka to keep it up for long periods of time.

    You can do it easy. I've done it, I've grouped with others that have done it also. Just use one of the two aggro skills, then cast mist form, and just kite the boss around, or if you feel tanky enough, just sit there.

    PROTIP: You can regen magicka while in mist form if you cast channeled focus beforehand. :)

    I've got a PvP build on my youtube along with alot of other PvP videos, but you wanted a Vampire Magicka Tank for PvE, correct?

    Either or, I honestly just need some guidance. While leveling right now I feel like I don't know what the finish line is supposed to look like. I intend to be PvP with him too though, and I'm sure I could decipher which skills are for PvP and which aren't. Having anything to go off of at this point would be a huge help!
