What is the best things for a dragon knight tank

Lynx7386

Earthen shield, spiked armor, corrosive armor, dragon blood, and reflective scales are all the top taking/defensive skills dk's have at their disposal

For PVE reflective scales is extremely situational and Magma Armor is far better for tanking with a group. Obsidian Shield, Hardened Armor and Green Dragon Blood are all great, but the skill that makes the DK really standout against the rest is extended chains. The ability to stack all the bad guys up into a little bundle for your DPS to nuke them down is a huge benefit for DK tanks.

What's the best weapons for dk?

PhatGrimReaper

For DPS its destro/destro... Tank Sword & Shield obviously and solo would probably be destro/s&b. Thats not to say you cant run stam, but for trial/vDSA DPS magicka reigns supreme for DKs atm.

I'm a DK tank and use sword and shield on both hands with a 2:1 magicka/health build.

Extended chains, choking talons, burning embers, pierce armour, Deep slash.

Just curious, why corrosive armor over magma shell for tank? You're pretty much invincible with the magma armor already I think, don't see many benefits to the corrosive armor morph.

I was really just referring to the ability in general, that's the first name that came to mind.

I see, was just curious if anyone finds corrosive morph better than magma shell as a tank. I can think of solo play as one example?

Corrosive armor is excellent for Stamina DPS DKs in PVP, ignore 100% of enemy armor, but Magma is the choice otherwise.
