Making a Heavy Stam dk, Advice wanted please.

So i'm going to make the usual 2x bloodspawn, 5x blackrose, 3x agility, maelstrom 2h (when i get it), 2x leki. Also i[m going to be a ww. Redguard of course.

Is reinforced better than impen on a shield because of the 75% armour passive? I'm going to have 6 impen (7 when bloodspawn helm is on sale) anyway with cp, i'll be around 2.2k-2.5k crit resist.

My bars going to be something like this:

Reverb
Igneous
Vigor
Heroic
Venom/Noxious/Evil hunter

Ult : WW

Rally
Shuffle
Spiked armour
Reverse
Crit Rush

Ult : Dawnbreaker of smiting/Take Flight.

Anything i'm doing wrong let me know, i'm trying to figure what i can drop for wings/ trap beast. I'm making a tanky build so spiked armour seems useful but compare to other classes "armour buff" skills it seems a lit lackluster.

Reason why my dmg ult is on the back bar is because i'm going to switch to 2h to kill someone anyway and if they roll dodge/run away i can gap close + ult then slice, hence why i'm thinking DBOS > leap.

Now problem is i'm on console so when you bash or dodge roll you have to press block, you can't re map it unlike on PC. So i'd lose literally all regen ticks if when i'm on s&b. So many solution is to use the warrior for 160 weapon dmg, drop a wpn dmg glyph and use a reduction glyph and go full reduction in cp, not sure how much regen cp i should use or if it would be better reducing bash/roll dodge costs.

First thing I'd drop for wings is volatile armor. Reason is, between shuffle, dodge rolls, bloodspawn armor procs, and reflecting projectiles, I can't justify the magic cost for the armor buff. Igneous shield and wings already stressed my magicka pool enough.

I'm on console too. Missing the regen ticks stink but it's not the end of the world. Between cheap ults, helping hands passive, potions, and throwing in a heavy attack here and there, it works ok.

I run sturdy on my shields since they buffed sturdy, but really anything will work.

Yeah, i was thinking that but the extra armour is useful + it keeps your 12% healing buff up 100% of the time. Too bad both the morphs are actually useless.
