I may have done a Thing NB PvP Tank

Koolio

This is something I’ve been working on for the past month or so. A NB PvP Tank. I might do a build video but I don’t want to just yet. Maybe someone will enjoy this video.

First 5 mins is decent group play action.
Second 5 mins is tanking showcase.

I have a Stamina Nightblade tank that rocks in PvP. I use dark cloak and Vigor like Sorc would shield stack. If I expect burst I hit both and if I fall below 50% my troll king pops as well.

It sucks that minor vitality is being taken from swallow soul but the class will survive none the less. Drain Power buff is huge in outnumbered situations. It already does more base damage than Steel Tornado pre PTS buff and costs less.

The change to evasion is a buff in my opinion. Templars, stam sorcs, wardens, steel tornado spammers and destro ults now hit for much less. Amd we are the only class that can run this wearing heavy armor.

Im excited for this update. Shield stacking sorcs are my only issue with my build and the new PTS shield changes will only level the playing field.

so you'll be able to 'shield stack' and they won't?

sounds like a 'level...playing field,' indeed.

Im pretty sure you aren't very good at reading comprehension.

I said that I use two Heal over times (Hots) dark cloak and Vigor in a similar manner as a sorc stacks shields. Shields mitigate damage and hots heal through damage. They are similar principles.

Why would I run a shield on a stamblade? Bone shield maybe. But that would be a waste of a spot.

Since you are so "good", what about making a pvp video with lets say a magwarden? Im bored to death of watching NB's thinking theyre gods rubbing their e-peen with the tools handled to them for free by the developers. Next patch you dont even have to slot any skills, only light attack and evade. Congrats for being part of the hype-flavour of the game-train.

You're being a cornball xD Just enjoy the fun tanking, my friend! He made no claim to being the games best PvPer. He just found a cool way to tank in a meta that severely limits the effectiveness of PvP tanking. Nothing to get upset about!

Nice vid @Koolio !

I love NB PvP tanking but always struggled to bring utility to the group (outside of cleanse on the old cleanse tanking) but I like what you’re doing with fear and bunching them all up for the group!

Care to share the setup?

Oh it's this build. NB nor not, it's infused potion + Argonian.

I credit @JackDaniell for all alchemist infused lizard builds

I’ve thought about running a troll tank a bit just for fun and using meditate + dark cloak heals while stacking health with TK. Then you just use increase potion duration glyphs so you don’t break the bank and meditate after every CC.
