Armor stats on Tanks.

Hi all, here agoing trying to figure out some things.
I recently returned to my main DK tank and updated the build for this patch. But i notice that most of the current builds dont get high armor numbers. Why is that?
I remember that when building a tank, one of the main stats with health was armor, and trying to get that 50% damage reducción was one of the focus points.
Now with this new builds i get something like 23-25k of armor and i fell like i get to much damage when i drop the block.
I dont really have troubles with the bosses, but when i agro a big group of trash mobs my hp start to drop sustancialy when i drop the shield.
Is that normal? Are you tanks going around whit your shield up all times? That seems like a pretty static way to play and i dont know if i like it.
thank you all.

✭✭✭✭Long story short, a tank gets most of its mitigation by blocking as that reduces damage by a percentage before resistances. Also spell resistance tends to be more important due to the fact most AoE/DoT damage in end game content tends to be spell & elemental in nature; two classes offer spell resistance bonuses so you will most likely be quite close to the cap there. 27K+ physical resistance is enough for any end game content. The resistance cap for mitigation is 33K so you are already getting >80% of possible mitigation at that value. Investing in % mitigation from CP is more beneficial.Edited by Asardes on October 18, 2017 5:15PMBeta tester since February 2014, played ESO-TU October 2015 - August 2022, currently on an extended break

Lefthy✭✭Alright then, it seems like maybe i overrated the armor cap.
I would swap the infused shield for a reinf one, to get something like 27 resist full buffed.
Yeah i get that in trial you permablock almost all the bosses,but i got worried getting hurt in trash pulls like this.
I have to get use to it again prob.
Thank for the info! i will get it in time.
