Dark Brotherhood Argonian true Hybrid DK Tank: Revisited

Savos_Saren

Hello everyone!

As from an earlier post that I made, I'd like to share the stats that I currently have with my tank. Here's a screenshot and I'll give you a quick breakdown of my build:

The build consists of:
5 divines Twice Born Star (Mage and Tower)
5 Bahraha's Curse
and 2 Bloodspawn.

Everything's spread pretty evenly. The jewelry is 1/1/1 health, mag, and stam. All reduction enchants (spell, stam, and block).
I've got prismatic glyphs on all the armor. Everything's legendary. And, of course, I've got Undaunted 9 with a 5/1/1 build.

Let me know your thoughts!

Edit: Here's the original post... it's much more in depth. Ironically, my post was initially thought to be a troll post!

Taking into consideration the base stats of a VR15 Tri-restore pot and the 12% from Argonian passives, you'd end up getting around a 12k heal with a 10.7k stamina/magic back with these stats.

It makes me would if infused on the Helm, Chest, Shield and Legs would grant a greater benefit than Divines in this situation, considering that the Tower and Mage stones are a flat amount vs a % like the Shadow and Thief stones are.

I like this tank build. I want to try something similar to what your gear and attributes are, but with a Templar instead. Putting those Argonian passives to some good use for once lol

You know- I wondered that, too. But, I left the build available for testing. By having mostly Divines traits- I can swap between Mundus. So, if I ever want to test the build with, say, Apprentice and Warrior or Atronauch and Serpent... I'll be able to theorycraft a little more.

Did you consider going with willpower weapons on your magic bar, and 3 pc agility jewelry, and endurance for your sword and board?  Seems like this would be a larger resource gain than Bahara's.

Also Inner Light (+7% magic) on your magic bar, structured entropy (+8% health; +2% magic) on your tanking bar could 
help if you're not currently using them

@Amdar_Godkiller ,

Not at all. While I appreciate the suggestion, you're missing out on the fact that Bahraha's Curse perfectly synergizes with a true-hybrid build. Not only does the set increase all stats, but it adds a magic DOT which heals the tank. As you know- an Argonian's heal from the Bahraha DOT will be increased significantly.

It's extremely effective when fighting bosses! When I tank Sanctum Ophidia- the healers mostly heal the DPSers. I rarely need much heals.

I get that. I'm just working on a Hybrid DK as well (though it's more of a DPS build) and willpower weaponry gains me around 
1800 in max magicka when used on my magic bar (which also has inner light and shooting star slotted for 9% additional max magic).

Just trying to pass on what I've learned.

Have you done anymore work on this? Does it work? Vamp/WW in build?
