well not really - your mana pool is to small to help your grp members with roots to annoy your opponents enough that they will actually attack you, every one else with two brain cells will just ignore you and go for more worthwhile targets.

✭✭If only more people did this in cryodill. The game would be much more dynamic. To bad you only get ap for kill's so everyone goes damage.
It also suck's how bad siege damage is, you would of actually killed some people.
I wounder if this is possible with a nightblade. Your getting me thinking!

✭Why not just run Leos build .. Vir Cor .. and actually do something besides hold block. 9/10 times I see DC fighting you they just kill your friends fairly quick and then just focus you.
Being a tank in Cyro is useless unless you can actually do DMG to draw the enemy away from your weaker allies. I would drop both of the sets your using for v16 variants and add more dps to your skill pool. Will help you overall.♥ Snü (Magicka DK) ♥ Thnu (Stamplar) ♥ Pizza for Breakfast (Magplar) ♥ Sparklefingers (Magicka Sorc) ♥♥ Bean and Cheese Burrito (Magicka DK) ♥ Snurrito (Stamplar) ♥DARFAL COVANT1 -

When I have at least 2 players with me, figthing against 6+ , I can help my team better with, proxy, tallons, stun, and some whips
But on this video I was just trying to stay alive and show tank abilities.
I was not trying to do damage or kill anybody.
I hear this adivice a lot. "To do more damage, and be less tank"
But for me i preffered to be more tank and do less damage.
Everyone plays the way that you like most.
This video shows I was just tanking.
It does not mean that I ALWAYS play like this, defending all the time.

✭✭✭People seem to have the wrong idea about a tank. Tanks should be doing minimal damage, while supporting and keeping your team mates protected and CCing the enemy . Player characters are not like npcs that have aggro levels, it is not your job to do the damage or to heal your teama mates, that is the job of dps and healers. You should also be first one in so people attack you first, being a distraction. Again, dps does not matter as a tank, if you are focusing on damage as a tank, you are doing it wrong in pvp. There are plenty of abilities available to you to reduce damage to your team mates, the damage redirection shield in support comes to mind just as an example, and the siege damage reduction shield.1 -

You said exactly what I think.
I'd rather do something well done like just "tanking"
than trying to do two things poorly "tank and high dps"
I can do DPS... But no much.
But i am sure that being a good tank, I help my team.
I call the attention of enemies, they spend magica, stamina trying to kill me,
and them my DPS teammates come to kill them.
Its works most of the time.
How about healers ? You guys should say " Stop just healing and do some High DPS too "2 -

Agreed.
I mean, I am a low level tank atm, but as soon as i get the aforementioned skills I will be a lot more valuable. But with my limited skills and only one skill bar atm, I am still able to go in first, "aggro" the enemies so to speak, and in certain situations, pull enemies from a group one at a time with chains and get them slaughtered by my group.
Use certain armor sets like Orgnum scaled and hist bark with divines, defender and nirnhoned traits as well and you will be nigh unkillable unless you have multiple enemies on you.
I actually had a really silly situation yesterday, which i thought was great, where i met another tank in EP 1 v 1 and I am pretty sure she had the same set of gear I had on, we dueled for 5 minutes before we both whispered to each other "this is going no where, we are both invincible" and we bowed to each other and walked away, lol.
Tanks add another layer of strategy IF used correctly. If they try to dps AND tank, well, then they will be useless.Edited by Jade1986 on November 30, 2015 2:10PM0 -

You know? Real tanks have cannonsSarcasm is something too serious to be taken lightly
I was born with the wrong sign
In the wrong house
With the wrong ascendancy
I took the wrong road
That led to the wrong tendencies
I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme

Like I said. I don't want to hit hard. I can if I want to.
Until You kill all my teammates, I will give you a hard time.
I am not a threat , but as I said, I CAN HELP MY TEAM.
If you were there what is the difference ?
Do you have any video about you style of playing on youtube?
I am not offended , I just think all your comments were negatives.

Armitas✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭Can your build handle deep slash rather than whip? Was thinking the base damage is the same but it scales of stamina so it should do more damage, and it will damage 3 targets as well as slow and maim them reducing their damage by 15%. Doing so would cost more stamina of course, but it would also leave more magicka for Igneous shield which gives some of that stamina back.Edited by Armitas on December 4, 2015 2:41PMRetired.

Odinforge already mentioned it in this thread. My guildies werent CCing you very well, and thats all i really ever do to you when I see you. Mines/Streak/Knockdown with frags. Anything to burn your stam. They pretty much just wailed on you until they finally wore ya out.
Thats the difference I could have made, but I wasnt claiming to be some kind of counter or anything either. You reflect too much for me to hard DPS you. My point was, I dont see it as a useful strat because while you can go around knocking people down and harassing them, its highly unlikely any of us die because of it. its not a make or break thing to prioritize you.
Back when I played AD regularly, indeed my main character, was a very similar setup. I had a little more damage output, similar survival. So I know it from that side, thus I know how to counter/ignore it.
So not you personally, but yes a PvP tank spec is by itself inherently useless because you cant force people to attack you like you can an NPC. Hard target, we kill the squishies first, then focus you.
If your only goal is to see how long you can stay alive, congratulations, youre one of the hardest people I know to actually bring down, but to me I dont see that as something dangerous to my team.Edited by Rylana on December 4, 2015 8:51PM@rylanadionysis == Closed Beta Tester October 2013 == Retired October 2016 == Uninstalled @ One Tamriel Release == Inactive Indefinitely

I understand and respect your opinion on TANK be useless.
Although I disagree on that.
How often the team does not walk,
does not advance, and the TANK just go ahead and the rest comes behind.
How many times I was taking a beating for my friends with more DPS could
more easily kill enemies after they had spent all their resources on me.
It's ok to think differently. We are not all the same right?
I Disagree about I been useless to my team.
As I said at the beginning of this post "DK's still can get some damage."
