Stam DK Tank Build Question (Possible Werewolf)

ThePaulrus94

Let me start out by saying I've had the game since launch. I recently rerolled my third charater and now I'm commited to completing everything with my current Nord DK at level 25 (I'm killin it, I know). So excuse me if I'm not up on all the lingo.

So my first question is whether a werewolf DK is viable in PvE? Pretty sure the answer is no but let me know of any good builds.

My other question is fairly simple. What are some good builds for a Nord DK Tank in PvE? Are there any that stand the test of time for the most part, as I don't get the chance to play daily.

Sorry that's a real open ended question, but I appreciate any and all help you can giveasily!

FYI, here's a build I've been using: http://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/2015/07/06/battlemasters-corner--the-unstoppable-juggernaut

Hey mate,

First the ww question: It depends what you mean by "viable". You want to clear dungeons (even vet) , and a strong solo set up than yes WW is a good option here. If you want to do trials (vet , hm) you cant play a ww . Just not cool.

Alcast has a good WW Dungeon/Solo setup on his site , here is the link for you:

As a tank the race doesnt rally change your build for any class, it is most of the time just personal preference. I dont tank much with my dk, but the cataclast build there also at alcast site is maybe what you want

The werewolf build uses medium armor and dual wield. I guess I'm wondering if this still keeps the build tanky or is it ment to be more for DPS?

I go for vampire as a stamtank. Less dmg income this way

@ThePaulrus94

WW in general is not good for a Tank. Of course you can transform in a norm dungeon or so, but vet dungeons and any other content that requires you to taunt or give your group some group ulility ...than its not good when you transform to ww as a tank. A WW gives your group 0 support and is only a burst dmg tool.


Would play WW setup mainly in pvp , there it can shines when you play it right. And in pve when you only want to do dungeons (norm trials work to) than you can go with the dps ww setup @ alcasts site.

@Nefaras Alright thank you for the information. I guess in the long run I'd rather have a build that's helpful in group play as well as solo. For now I may just stick WW while I level and experiment. Once I respec at 50 I'll fine tune all my skills for PvE. Thanks for the help

Np mate.


At Cp160 when you have acess to the max gear than you can tune your build.

But it is possible to run more setups at the same time, so a build for trial/vet dungeon tanking, one for pvp , one for solo/dungeon fun or whatever. You have more than enough Skill points available.

If you play on PC , there are multiple addons that allow you to build/gear swap with a button press it's very handy
