NECRO TANKS and the MAJOR PROTECTION buff

Hey there.

I need your opinion about a specific question: what's the best way to give the Major protection buff to a Stam-based pvp Necro tank?

1) The necro's self cleanse in combination with:

https://elderscrollsonline.wiki.fextralife.com/Steadfast+Hero+Set

2) Using this:

https://elderscrollsonline.wiki.fextralife.com/Pirate+Skeleton+Set

I am really fought between those 2 options: the first seems to be more reliable in pvp and it does not apply the minor defile debuff, but it lasts much less, while the second choice is less reliable, applies minor defile but it lasts more than twice.

Thank you in advance for your kind help. <3

    Use deaden pain? Up to 12 seconds of major protection plus a heal, plus 3% reduction in damage from having it slotted? Plus ulti gen? Seems like a great skill to me.

    Plus, you have 4 ways (that I know of) to create corpses, if they're in your build you will find them around you randomly without needing to find dead players.

    Blastbones, Skeletal Mage, Spirit Mender and Bone Armor. Check the duration of the abilities, if you recast them early after at least 50% duration you can create a corpse on demand. Just 3 corpses is 6 seconds of major protection, 12 seconds with 6 corpses is insane.

    Not a wise choice: you need all ult generation you can get for the bone colossus ult which is op in pvp.

    Disagree. I think both are good choices. The bash on the colossus is broken and will likely be fixed tomorrow, the other morph is great but so’s major protection. I’ve been agonizing over which version of this ability and boneyard.

    Both choices are good, I think it comes down to preference.

    Looking for any guildies I used to play with:
    Havoc Warhammer - Alair
    LoC EQ2 - Mayi and Iskiab
    PRX and Tabula Rasa - Rift - Iskiab
    Or anyone else I used to play games with in guilds I’ve forgotten

    Yea, basicly the 4 skills every Necro should have stam or magicka.

    The point is that you need ult regen above everything else, therefore that is not a choice also considering that you have more ways to get the Major prot buff than to get ultimate points.

    That said the question remains: which method is better suited to provide the major prot buff?
