Looking for help = blocking and impen?

generalmyrick

Can i get a rough set up of what a perma block set up looks like in regards to ---->

how many block reduction?
how many impen?

any other hints would be welcome.

For perma block you need sets with stamina procs like bloodthorn, black rose or engine guardian for example.

Impen on all pieces, impregnable armor is not necessary IMO.

Nope. Sturdy on all armor pieces and shield. Block cost reduction enchants on jewellery. A class that can actively regen stamina (DK or Warden works best).

If you can block any incoming damage, you don't need impenetrable since you will also reduce crits by 80% or more.

The hard part is to also do enough damage. The "easiest" way is to stack DoTs. Magicka-DK can do it well.

Warden or DK. Warden netch gives stamina while blocking, DK shield gives stam back when you use it while blocking. Only 2 classes that can do it. Next argonian is gonna be the best choice and if DK I'd run potion cool down glyphs on jewelry, block cost reduc on warden. Tri pots and lingering health pots are going to be nice. Before woeler nerfed my warden tank, he was a zerg tank. Not so much now. Very much depends on so many variables now. This build still takes on emps and 2 or 3 of his buddies and lives to set up a camp to res your team to stomp the emp and take his outpost lol. I like ironblood and impregnable armor with bloodspawn. Block cost is doable because the critical resistance from impregnable. 3000 impen is a good place. Higher is good but light hits hit hard asf now and you need some resists there as well. I love tanking and PvP can be so fun when people are so pissed they can't kill you. Any questions I'll have an answer.

Don't know, there's much block breaking CC out there...

DK/Warden (Warden is much more survivable, DK has easier sustain) Bloodspawn. Impreg+sturdy is good when you get runed/fossilized. Stack hots. Run argonian. Maybe reactive. Less healing needed means more sustain.

You won't however be able to tank even 2 good players, they can pressure, defiled and CC'd you down a lot. Tanking now is very nearly impossible.

general - do you really want to run around a tree/rock for 10 minutes or so while a whole bunch of people beat on you...

what is it you really want to do with this character?

I run impregnable+sturdy trait on all pieces on most of my s&b builds and it works pretty well.

Nah, 7/7 impen, maybe 1 or two sturdy peices. Fear-incap-assasinsWill or runecage-meteor-curse-wrath are already the most dangerous thing to you, why make them even more dangerous?

There isn't 2 good players that can bring my tank down. Not possible. An emp and 3 couldn't do it. Ironblood is stronger than reactive.

ask toxic nebula he will tell ya...lmao but no I don't mess with that side of the PlayStation. The emp time I was in a group so I had witnesses. Toxic has a YouTube channel my tank is featured because he hates it. He can't kill my tank so he's upset complaining about it. Aeonian2100 in game SN.

Hah, PC here. I guess it is really a good tank. Here, have an awesome.

Took my butt kickings to get there. Hours of research and finally it just fell together. Thanks appreciate it. I eat civics the youtuber put out the build. He's since changed it because of woeler...lol but back when the infinite load screens were happening he built a this tank to avoid load screens from dying. Give him a look his tanking is world class amazing.
