Orc Tank

Thinking on doing this Orc Tank Build. Any suggestions on Gear and Weapons as main and back bar

To start you out with normal dungeons and story 1 vets, try running 5 pieces hist bark (sword, shield, 3 armor pieces) with 5 pices plague doctor (neck, ring, ring, two body pieces) and a head/shoulder of any set that gives max health. The basics are sword and shield front bar, sword and shield back bar, with skills highly depending on your class. I recommend dragonknight, warden, or sorceror in that order.

You'll want sturdy pieces of gear, and enchantments on your jewelry to help reduce block costs. With hist bark and block active, you'll be really tanky, which you need while you're learning mechanics and how one tanks.

The bare minimum for tanking would be pierce armor as your taunt (provides major fracture and breach for dps), heroic Slash for ult generation and minor maim, and a source of major resistances. DKS have spiked armor, hardened being my favorite morph for pve. Wardens, take ice fortress until they fix the expansive bug. Sorcs, I recommend the magicka morph of lightning form, as it will not contribute meaningful dps as hurricane even if you are stamina specced and you want utility to cost magicka.

Try purple foods that raise health, magicka, and stamina.

For end game builds, check out guides on the forums or youtube. A good place to start is Woeler's tanking guide, or Alcast's website, alcasthq.com.
