Stam Builds Now Get Boneshield, What do Tanks Get?

Currently my tank can put up a nice little 10k boneshield for tanking. With the DB change though, boneshield will now scale off of stamina, not health. So I'll go from 10k shields to 6k. Not exactly optima, since to get shield up tanks will either have to look elsewhere for mitigation, or push their stam or magika up at the expense of health.
Stam = Boneshield
Magika = Annulment
Tank = ?
If tanks are losing boneshield for mitigation, what exactly are they going to get to fill this hole?

emily3989✭✭✭✭✭Tanks get to respect to DPS.
There are very few areas that actually require a "tank" in this game for those that are maxed out and know what they are doing.

iam117✭✭✭I run 26k hp and 33k stam for all trials. You can Do opposite if you want to base off magicka. Works fine in all trials. Shields will scale great.Edited by iam117 on April 27, 2016 3:57PM<Liv3mind><PC/NA - Legion Of The Bloodworks>Snowflake Patrol0 -
Mr.Hmm✭✭✭✭Tanks get to respect to DPS.

That's just totally rude!
Only reason the DPS can safely kill things is because the tanks divert all the attention from the adds/bosses.
Now as for what the tanks get now ... i am not sure still confused on that, I will play PTS a bit more and find out.
If I die tomorrow I do not want to think of the game I could of played today, therefor I will play whatever I want today while securing a future to play in as well.
A true gamer will think of all the possible outcomes and execute the one that is the hardest to accomplish.0 -

Here I fixed your quote for you "There are few areas I run that require a tank. I don't run trials. Or vet ICP, vet CoA, vet WGT."
Just because you don't do the more difficult content doesn't mean no one else does or that they don't have concerns about their ability to continue doing so effectively.
The current thinking seems to be , go heavy stam or go heavy magika for tanking. I'm not a fan of the game trying to shoe horn players into cookie cutter builds to perform their roles. One of the things I've liked about ESO has been the freedom to create good builds for any role from any class. Moving away from that is, in my opinion, a big mistake.0 -

Was about to say most good stam tanks have higher stam than health, so the shield will be even strongerI run 26k hp and 33k stam for all trials. You can Do opposite if you want to base off magicka. Works fine in all trials. Shields will scale great.
Bosmer Stamina NB
Altmer Magicka TEMP
Dunmer DK both stam/mag (depends what I feel like)

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but vICP, vWGT, and vCoA are all being nerfed hard right now on the PTS. People are 2 and 3-manning them without a tank or healer using only template sets and 300CP. Tanks only really needed for Trials now, otherwise DPS is all there ever needs to be.Edited by ThatNeonZebraAgain on April 27, 2016 4:50PMGore-of-the-Forest Argonian Nightblade

Bandit1215✭✭✭Tanks get bonesheild... not much else to say. It's not like tanks use something other than magicka or stamina. You should be happy, this makes tanning easierCP 561- vSO HM - Completed

Right^^ I did vWGT last night with only 3 dps lol. The PvE in this game is stupid easy when you're capped on cps...0
