Dk sheild idea

Rungar

obviously everyone would lose their minds if we removed major mending from dk shields so well go with the unused morph.

how about throw the embattled dk tank a bone and change the other shield morph to 2-3 seconds of immovable rather than the aoe dmg. Everyone has access to immovable through the heavy armor line and potions so it wouldn't be unique but rather fitting for the tanking specialized class. It would aid in the perceived permablocking dilemma as sometimes you don't mind getting hit but don't want to be knocked down.

Would make DKs even more OP as Tanks than they already are.

Nothing OP about a DK tank ...unless troll tank that has no dps but that's more of a troll build that kills potatoes even then it has hard time doing with out killing him self ... with his 3k wreaking blow and 350 dots heh...

DK tanks people have a hard time with them because they are getting stun immunity from potatoes and not being feard... My group has no problem killing stam DKs.. Fear/ defile then burst ... repeat by 2nd time he is dead most of the time.. There are a few out there that can go more times but they are complete trolls....

Like I have said 100 times now..
9 meta nerfs last patch .. 3 on the patch before

-No get away
-Synergy with stam abilities severely hit much more so the the magicka dk...
- Class Damage abilites all dots ... great for pve not so good with Templars running about and people hiting x constantly....
- other classes just do things better except extreme tanking...

This class can still be played effectively but you better be able animation cancel .. you better be a resource general .. you have a red potatoe that does not block around you...look for structure always when fighting since you are now exposed to range damage more then ever..

This style worked good against new players but experienced players not so much..

If you think people would still use major mending over permanent cc immunity you're very wrong.

Major mending is 2 tics on a stam dk now with a 3k shield and 900 stam return that can only be casted 2 times on stam builds ...

Major mending is fine on magicka since all they need is 2 secs ... this is the major issue how Do you balance a tanky magicka with tanky stam with out one vastly overperforming... right now it's magicka winning against stam in open world ..

Armor buff 3.4 magicka
Shields 3.6 magicka
Fossilized 3.5 magicka

Most stam DKs builds run 10k to 14k magicka ..

i just thought it would be cried about. Of course they would use the immovable morph. Its not op at 2 seconds compared to the 5 seconds you could easily get with heavy armor immovable.

Never said I was referring to PvP. But even so there are some magicka tank builds that can dish out a lot of damage, not just stamina tanks. And they could spam this quiet a lot.

Agreed in fact they out perform them... For in order to dish out DPS you can't really use blocking glyphs like a magicka can get away with atm...
