How is Heavy Armor doing?

Like the title asks, how is Heavy armor doing these days? (specifically for PvP) I was thinking of making a character with a HA build, but I have no idea if HA is worth using in PvP atm.

umagon✭✭✭✭✭It depends on the build, play style, and situation. I have few gear setups the aoe tanking one is really nice I can basically just sit in aoe as it reduces aoe damage by nearly 80%. When used in conjunction with debuffs it can get opposing groups of players killed who rely on mostly aoe damage.
One of dps setups I can get to 27.9k health with 30k stam, 1.49k stam recovery, 3819 weapon damage and 30% weapon crit. And still maintain about 24.9k resistance (on both) and 1.4k crit Resistance. The build is kind of new so I am still adjusting to it's play style.
The tank health regeneration setups are fun if you want to mess with people a bit. Using one of mine I stalemated a few fights for about 5-10min; which resulted in the persons involved sending me colorful tells.
Heavy setups can make the evening quite entertaining.Edited by umagon on June 25, 2016 8:23PM0 -

✭On a related note, is it possible to build an effective Magicka tank around Heavy Armor with 1HD-Shield as a primary weapon?0 -

The dps one? Yes, I sort of finalized some things with it a few days ago. Before getting into the build I want to point out I made it to be more of a skirmisher build. It’s not exactly made for one vs one or large groups. It’s a lone nomad play style. It utilizes bloodthrist to deal damage while healing and shrouded daggers for a damage buff and ranged multi-target execute. Dawnbreaker is used to assist in the execution phase of the engagement, if need be. The stun triggers ruffian and the target’s low health triggers slaughter which at 3.8k+ weapon damage just becomes overkill. One bloodthrist or shrouded dagger usually ends the fight at that point if they aren’t already dead from the dawnberaker.
The sets: 2x Molag kena heavy, 5x Hunding’s range heavy, 5x Marksman’s
Weapons: 2x Marksman’s maces 1x Marksman’s bow
Bar 1: Ambush, Bloodthirst, Radiant Magelight, Shrouded Daggers, Resolving Vigor, Dawnbreaker of Smiting
Bar 2: Venom Arrow, Mass Hysteria, Radiant Magelight, Razor Caltrops, Resolving Vigor, Shooting Star
My champ points are set to benefit a variety of builds I use; I tend to switch out builds based on the situation.
Champ 465: Tumbling 39, Mooncalf 27, Healthy 43, Warlord 46, Heavy Armor Focus 39, Hardy 27, Elemental
Defender 27, Thick Skinned 11, Resistant 12, Spell Shield 39, Mighty 75, Thaumaturge 48, Shattering Blows 30, Blessed 2.
Some of the combo chains:
Ambush> Shrouded Daggers>Bloodthrist
Ambush> Shrouded Daggers>2x light attacks>Bloodthrist
Radiant Magelight>Shrouded Daggers
Radiant Magelight> Dawnbreaker of Smiting> Shrouded Daggers or Bloodthrist

✭✭✭✭✭Im running on magplar with 5ha/2la and can say its tanky but it depends on your oponent, stamina user can stack weapon dmg, crit chance and penetration so high that you can still get 7-9k shots while dealing much less dmg... I regret that i have choosen way of the magica again as stamina is much more efective especialy when you go 1v1.Say no to Toxic Casuals!
I am doing my best, but I am not a native speaker, sorry.
"Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 24 DLCs. 40 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game." - @AlexanderDeLarge0 -

Harder with Malubeth ; )
I switched to heavy armor this update cause it seemed like I was getting shredded through in my light armor. My magtemp pulls up to 3600 crit resist with each base resist around 26-29K. HA with a now functional Elusive Mist and Devouring Swarm is an unbelievably good setup.
When I use my Clever Alchemist HA I push around 4K spell power with those same resists."IMO"Aldmeri DominionBosmer Nightblade AR 32 - Altmer Templar AR 26 - Dunmer Dragonknight AR 18 - Altmer Sorcerer AR 20 - Khajiit Dragonknight AR 18(+3 not worth mentioning, yet)0 -

✭Loving it on my nord stam sorc. 40k hp, 2k health regen, 27k stamina and once I'm crit and hit for a couple seconds in at 4k weapon damage with passive and fury set. Snb and dw plus sorc and other skills give me 5 heals and dark deal is plenty for stamina regen with the Constitution passive. My stam regen is only 757.. never have an issue.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭I made my templar using alcasts build, it's fun watching 6+ people go to town on your and finally run out of stamina, only to start throw 2k SA at you, then you get out of the cc, 1 BoL = full hp, 1 repentance = full stamina.
It's an actual aids build.
But i've seen some tanky builds, you do lose quite a bit of dmg whether your stam or magicka though just via penetration/crits/etc...PS4 EU DC
Current CP : 756+
I have every character level 50, both a magicka and stamina version.
RIP my effort to get 5x v16 characters...0
