Dk tank help

WacArnold

I'm looking to make a rock, a insane tank that is extremely hard to kill. I have no interest in killing players with this build I want to be indestructible and annoying. What kind of sets and stats should I get to do this?

Well I can tell you a few sets I have used in the past to make me really tanky and annoying, cause that is how I played.

Swarm Mother: This thing will get you rage tells, they hit you and they get chained to you as long as you block, and since you wanted to be tanky you will want to block a lot.

Tremorscale: It will help you do a lot of damage even in a tank set up but since you don't care about that the important part will be the 70% snare. Making people not be able to run away unless they roll dodge or purge it. Great in battlegrounds when doing capture the flag(relic)

Fasalla's Guile: Anything that gets into melee range of you gets Minor Defile, lowering their healing taken. It also stays on them for 2s after they leave melee range. This combined with the One handed and Shield Ability Reverberating Bash will give them both Minor and Major Defile, a lot of debuffing. You can of course if you want to wear this set use Poisons to apply the Minor Defile and use other sets instead.

Bastion of the Heartland: Lowers damage taken from players, players AoE Damage and Siege Damage, makes you survive keep fights a lot better.

Reactive Armor: Lowers damage taken while Snared or CC'ed, and since you almost always will be this will give a strong protective set up for you.

Nikulas Armor: Will reflect 25% of all spell projectiles shoot your way when you block, really good in combination with other sets and skills.

Beckoning Steel: using this in combination with Swarm Mother, Reflective Scales, Spell Wall or Nikulas Armor during a breach will be very effective, either you reflect everything shot your way or you pull more people to you, either way, lots of annoyance.

There are more sets I can tell you about if you want. In regards to other things, my recommendation is 8 Sturdy pieces, 3 block cost reduction glyphs, Absorb magic(or the other morph) and 100p into Shadow Ward. They can't crit you if you block and as a DK blocking gives you 55% damage reduction. Get some Mag regen and spam Igneous shield and you will never drop block, that and a lot of the things I showed you up above only works with blocking, so be tanky, be annoying
