Has anyone tried this tanking setup?

Just watched Xynode's tank build video and I must say I'm intrigued. Although he's provided solid proof that the build works, would love to hear what you folks have to say!

Here's the video for reference:

Well imo showing it off against trash packs isnt enough, needs to be on proper boss fights, ones with adds.

Good luck taunting multiple adds and blocking boss heavies with such little stamina.

You dont need all that self healing, thats what a healer is for.

Duh, not gonna watch a 50 min video. If you want feedback, stop being lazy and at least write some short points about gear, skills, race etc.

Wow, insightful post, really contributing here!

But here's a round-up for you:

5 pc Leeching Plate
5 pc Dragon
2 pc Malubeth

Build revolves around getting self-heals from Leeching and Malubeth, having high magicka recovery to be able to cast Igneous Shields.

Why even comment if you're not going to watch the video?

Good Lord...

Who's gonna watch a 50+ minute video just to tell you if it's a worthwhile build? If you want others to put effort into helping, you need to put effort into asking. Some sites even require a write up alongside a video when posting a build. Do some work yourself and stop relying on others.

It's not a good build, take out dragon guard and use Bharahs and ditch that *** malubeth which now only gives you the same healing buff as potions and use Sentinel. the proc heals from sets proc sentinel and you can tank 5 axes no issues. That build is also not sufficient mag recovery to spam igneous anymore, any heavy fight in VSO and VAA...heck all trials will get you killed pretty quick.

Also the heals from leeching will not heal you enough for any vet trial, dont see the point, maybe can work in dungeons

There are better builds out there. No heal kits have their uses though, I use a leeching/defending warrior/bloodspawn set up for a few rounds of vDSA. Baharahas will be better against single target, but for more than one target I prefer Defending Warrior.

In my opinion.. using sets like Ebon and having high mag recov is better for the team then heING yourself which shouldn't be an issue with competent healers. All that extra self healing is unnecessary

This build was good on the previous patch, now you will run out of resources too fast.
