Nightblade Ultimate Tank theorycrafting (summerset)

hist bark is a waste for NB tanks. It's better used by classes that do not get major evasion as a class skill.

581 for argonian per second is a bit crazy. Not worked it out, but i guess other races will get roughly 300 per, which is twice as good as a slotted skill... that's 'ok' i guess, as you are consuming something to get that, not just clicking a slotted skill. Means tanks will be blowing through potions much faster than they currently do.

Any ideas if the additional -30% the caster gets is getting removed from bolstering? Also will that +8 seconds expire immediately when the circle goes, or is that addtional effective duration? too many questions that can only be answered by PTS...

can't wait!

i agree with Hist Bark, its just that the combo is too good to drop. pushing Mirage with its minor buffs and major evasion is quite a drain on the Stamnb given that many of the nb tanks abilities are magicka based.

With the shadow passive and mirage up, you dont have to augment the setup with Bloodspawn, Engine guardian or even swarm mother might be better for the tank.

I'm very curious on trying jorvuld’s guidance, dragon & 3 infused jewelry with potion reduction glyphs on my argonian nb tank. Monster set will be situational.
