Question about what trait I should use on this ice warden PVP build.

Israel1948

I'll be using Winterborn, Iceheart, and Frozen Watcher. It's mostly a snare/CC build that inflicts damage while CCing. Should I use sturdy trait on all the pieces to be able to block longer or will using them only on the small pieces and use increase enchantment on the big pieces be enough? Thanks!

For PVP, do you have enough crit resistance to skip the impen trait?

I figure since I'd be blocking, putting getting 1K crit resistance from champion points would be enough.

Player opinions vary, but most recommend over 2k impen in Cyrodiil.

1k isn’t enough even if you’re at the resistance cap.

Then how are there permablockers who survive so long? They either need all sturdy or have some impen.

They can survive to infinity, sure ... but they can’t kill anyone since their entire build is focused on defense.

Permablock pure tank builds use their resources to survive. If you want to be throwing out snares and ccs, you need more than block. 3k impen, however you get it. (Impregnable Armor is a non-impen source, as is Transmutation.) You WILL eat crits from skills while under fear, remote totem, turn evil, fossilize, etc.
