Yeah, can understand that.
Defending with 2.5k Armor Resist helps using sets like mentioned above that really add to your Ultimate gain.
How high should the chance be for Decisive to get that 1 additional Ultimate to be desirable ?
100% ?
Or would that 100% still be underwhelming ?
I run the following
7/7 Heavy - All Health Enchants on Armor
Larg pieces - Reinforced
Small pieces - Sturdy
Swords - Defending
Boards - Reinforced
2 pc Bloodspawn
5 pc Tava's
5 pc Footmans
Jewelry Enchants
1 reduce feat cost
1 reduce spell cost
1 reduce block cost
Mundus: Atro
With purple gear/purple enchants/purple food these are my stats without bloodspawn proc'd on my redguard stam dk
Health - 31k
Stam - 25k
Magicka - 14k
Spell Resist - 34.5k
Physical Resist - 32.4k
Stam Recovery: 975ish
Mag Recovery: 900ish
Ult regen out the butt.
My bar setups are
SnB1 - Pierece Armor, heroic slash, igneous shield, vigor, absorb magick - aggressive warhorn
SnB2 - Inner fire, choking talons, volatile armor, shuffle, unrelenting grip - corrosive OR standard
With this setup according to my halfass calculations I have my block cost mitigation around 70% and with constitution passives + redguard passives stamina has rarely been an issue. At times I run out of magicka but it's not that big of a deal cause I can pop igneous/rally and perma block while I gain magicka back then hit volatile.

Also no one mentioned that the cheapest these pieces go for (except WW) is like 45,000 gold (I thought it would be cheap!)
But noooo mega expensive.
I bought 6 PvP boxes and got 1 ring of Potentates (stupid deadly pieces) - im really hopin this week's PvP vendor isn't something I want.
Is there an easier way to get some of these items?

I bought some potentates jewelry off the guild traders this week. Found a purple necklace for 8k, purple rings were running about 20k everywhere I looked so I took the cheap route and bought blue ones for like 800 gold each. I'll keep my eye out for any good deals on purple rings over the next couple weeks.
Anyone got any purple rings they want to sell cheap?

I hates you... btw how would you get a purp ring? (Outside of buying one) and where did you find these things that cheap?
If you can go to Vlastarus, it's easier to get your potentates jewelry there. I spent just 200k AP (4 boxes) and got a necklace, two rings, and a random bow.I stopped pulling boxes when I got my second ring; by then I had 5 necklaces abnd zero AP. Since rings are the big prize, 20k actually sounds kinda cheap considering how much AP you have to sink into RNG to get them.
Could do 5 tava (3 armor and wep and shield) on ultimate gain bar, and 5 dragon on back bar to use ultimate ( 3 body 2 jewelry), with 1 bloodspawn , and 3 potentates on back bar as well (wep shield necklace). Basically build ultimate on front bar, swap to back bar and ultimates costs a ton less!
12 pieces total
Front bar
1 bloodspawn (head)
5 tava (shoulder, chest, gloves, wep, shield)
1 potentates (necklace)
5 Dragon (ring, ring, waist, legs, feet)
= 12
Back bar
1 bloodspawn (head)
3 tava (shoulder, chest, gloves)
3 potentates (necklace, wep, shield)
5 dragon (ring, ring, waist, legs, feet)
= 12
So, no. You might have missed where I said the bloodspawn piece in my first post.

@Hutch679 love using potentates on second bar and keeping warhorn back there. But I'd swap the bloodspawn for a 1pc that gives health or more resist. You lose stam recovery while blocking so 1pc bloodspawn doesn't help tanks.
For many DK tanks, it is preferable to use Hist Bark to eliminate the need for Shuffle on-bar. It depends upon who you ask, but personally I suggest having Major Evasion in your build in one form or another.
That being said, many tanks (myself included) consider Tava's to be a BiS tanking set in today's ESO, at least as it pertains to competitive trials. The key issue here is being able to run Tava's and Hist Bark, which are both crafted, and therefore mutually exclusive. The result is a strong consideration for Akaviri Dragonguard, which comes in jewelry and can be used simultaneously with Tava's and Blood Spawn. There is a variety of alternate setups, but this particular combination is arguably the most efficient means of War Horn generation.
Many DK tanks also would suggest that Major Evasion is unnecessary for many encounters, sometimes entire trials or dungeons. When it comes to dungeons, I honestly don't think it matters. But for some trials (such as The Warrior on hardmode) giving up Major Evasion could prove to be quite detrimental to the overall survivability of the build (also sustainability, getting hit more often means more stamina consumption). There is a trade-off to consider here, of course. and ultimately is up to you. Shuffle itself can take its toll on your stamina pool, but so can getting hit more often (and this gets more complicated, such as your cost of blocking, etc). There are other factors too, such as whether or not that spot being occupied by Shuffle is better occupied by another skill, in which case one may then consider Hist Bark.
