Give me your laziest tank build.

Gordon906

Does anyone have a min-maxer tank that only wants to save themselves instead of providing buffs? I want to know how it's like.

Casul

Easy.

Battalion defender
Cyrodiil crest
Bloodspawn

Enjoy never dying

Joosef_Kivikilpi

Frozen Watcher + Alteration Mastery/Battalion Defender + Grothdarr/Infernal Guardian/Stone Keeper/Swarm Mother. Perma block. Spam Igneous Shield. Infused Magicka Recovery Glyphs on jewelry. Good luck. Haha

Gordon906

Mighty chudan set is good too, right?

Pve, but will also take pvp

Bowser

It got nerfed like 6 different times and is dead now, but my Lazy Shell build was great back in the day. Hist Bark + Black Rose + Chudan

Yes chudan is good if your way below cap or resist.

Typically if your sword and board you will use something wlse that gives healing or resources. Or damage reduction

Still a fan of support tanking and going more into magicka:

-Akaviri Dragonguard
-Ebon
-Bloodspawn (when you are a DK, if not Swarm Mother).

Waffennacht

The lady mundus + full divines
x3 protection jewelry
x3 health Regen glyphs
Full Heavy
All health attributes
All health glyphs
CP into healing, health Regen, and mitigation all-in
Orzorga's Blood Price Pie
Nord

Sorcerer - gives you minor ward resolve and 20% health Regen potential
DK - gives up to 25% health Regen potential with less passive resistance
Templar has 10% health Regen passive but more passive resistance
Warden and NB can have solid passive resistance but far less health regen

Earthgore
Juggernaut
Draugr's Heritage

The AFK tank, it's self autonomous, and if sorc you can even probably whittle things done while you sleep!

Edit: I seriously think this could AFK tank vet CoA 1 final boss indefinitely (would have to be solo or less anything else will draw aggro lmfao)

Ebon? A greedy tank would go for plague.

Leeching + Bahraha's + Bogdan

You can usually just stand there and not die. Harder content may require you to block occasionally or at least maintain a pulse.

Jykel

Shock Warden - lightning staff - Swarm mother/Storm Fist, storm knight, thunder bug. Draw aggro, wall/blockage, block and leech, super lazy. Useless but fun.

If you think it's hard to press a button every 20 seconds, Chudan is good. Otherwise it's worthless and redundant on a tank

bongtokin420insd16

yup my greedy tank build runs plague dragon and bloodspawn.

ccfeeling

What contents you expect ?

VET DLC or VET non DLC ?

Maybe I'll have Bloodspawn one day.

NordSwordnBoard

Bloodspawn, Dragon, Ebon. Be Nord. Get hit and make warhorn like the pied piper. Or Lord Warden, you give aoe resistance for standing there and getting hit.

A greedy yes, but not a support tanker and most DD and healer builds are set up for around 18k health with Ebon buff. You do not need high hp meatschield tanks in this game...but I know, the support tank is a dying species, because you need DDs who can actually make use of your support (debuffs, warhorn etc.) and that's the big issue in this game.

Mudcrabber

I used an afk health recovery tank for the week 3 cyrodiil town dailies, because recovery's not reduced by battle spirit like damage/healing are:

Orgnum's scales, beekeeper, troll king. Steed mundus. Blood price pie. Nord. Defending 1h1s.

Then each draconic power ability slotted gives 5% health recovery, so I slot all 6.

People would attack me at a quest giver, and (if they're alone) I'd just stand there, weapons sheathed, and wait for them to give up.

Don’t forget that you can swap Bogdan with Malubeth (more heals) or Valkyn (more damage).

If you don’t run as a vamp- Troll King is just as cheesy.

Orgnum's scales, beekeeper, troll king. Steed mundus. Blood price pie. Nord. Defending 1h1s.

I'm gonna have to try that.

amasuriel

The new Alessian Order is even better than Beekeeper, since it gives you resists and a health bonus, and if you are at max resists the same amount of health regen as 5 beekeeper (the 5 piece will give you ~660 regen at max resists)

Stonekeeper instead of bloodspawn. Otherwise I agree.

I need to try this out!

But, how can you swap out stonekeeper instead of bloodspawn when stone keeper is a 5 piece set and blood spawn is a 2 piece set?

Not sure which you’re thinking of, but stonekeeper is 2pc: https://elderscrollsonline.wiki.fextralife.com/Stonekeeper+Set

Maybe you saw the three 1pc bonuses and figured they were 2-4pc bonuses?

Edit: and to answer op, I’m sure it’s been suggested already but bahraha’s curse+leeching is a classic self survival setup. It’s not as good for boss fights but you can pretty much go afk against any group of mobs that don’t have 1shot mechanics.
