    Nice gameplay :)

    What gear are you using to sustain like that ?

    The music ...

    How is this possible ?

    Thought the music was fitting. Most clips are of me just seeing how well I can solo tank, however if I get one or two DPS with me we usually wipe much larger groups. It's a fun build to play with. As far as specifics I won't really go into detail because I don't want a lot of people using this. To be honest it really is cancer and I'm aware of it haha. I use 2 piece bloodspawn to help get my sword and board ult which helps me sustain my stamina pool. Just got Earthgore set though so I plan on playing around with that in group settings since it procs on deep breath heals and Green Dragon Blood. The other sets I use are a mystery ;) Thanks for watching though.

    EDIT: Probably worth mentioning I'm only 390 CP as well. Can't wait to hit 660 ;)

    Hmmmm... Bloodspawn, Shacklebreaker, and I was going to say Dragonguard (but your ulti would've been lower).
    Want to enjoy the game more? Try both PvP (crybabies) and PvE (carebears). You'll get a better perspective on everyone's opinion.

    The music ...

    I mean how is it possible that in the whole universe a world exists when some sentient people in their right mind, gather, play, record, listen to this absolute horror ? ...

    Am quite old, I ve listened to a lot of stuff, but THIS, beats everything by a large margin.

    My personal guess would be:
    * Bloodspawn (Very obvious from the video)
    * Varen´s Legacy (Has that characteristic dark-blue glowing proc and can also be seen in bufftime/bufftracker in the video)
    * Desert Rose (Check OP´s magicka bar from time to time and you´ll se how a burst of roughly 2,3k magicka comes back on block)

    When it comes to enchantments I´m not 100% sure yet, but a lot of investment into block-cost is indeed applied.

    I´m still confused why console players are so eager to keep there builds so secret. Compared to PC players who gladly (in general) share their builds to the public. And also the only type of players who doesn´t want or rarely shares their builds are those "perma-blockers".

    I think stamina would be better for tank and could dish out better damage. This Set up has zero damage. I know that's not the point but nevertheless it's cool. I'm just not into soley tanking.

    It's not about damage, and it does have decent damage if you set it up correctly. Deep Breath with a reverb, ransack and dawnbreaker or shifting standard is good. it's a support build.

    I think you underestimate how good Varen´s Legacy set actually is on a DK. Combine it with Dragon Leap and it can hit very very hard. A combo could look like this:

    Varen proc ---> Empower (either by mage light or entropy) ---> Dragonleap = Profit. I´ve seen 12k non-crit leaps with that combo from"perma-blockers" in PvP.

    Never used it. But that is good leap damage.

    I see that. I like the build I just would like to theory craft it for more damage since I'm mainly solo. Been trying to figure out a way to still do decent damage but perma block.

    Agree, they may are afraid to be nerf, or to not be "Unique" anymore. :)

    But thanks for your Idea, I will try the Vanren's set and see how it works with.
