DK Stam tank build

Redhawk05

based on Alcasts build....

I have a medium and heavy Lord Warden helms, but Alcast's build calls for light helm, medium shoulders.
But would light shoulders, medium helm be the same as medium shoulders, light helm as far as benefits?

No, it does not really matter but generally head, chest and legs are large pieces with shoulders waist, hands and feet being small pieces so you will have a little extra armor from a medium head vs. a light head. But just being real that small amount of extra armor is not going to make a difference 99.9% of the time so I wouldn't sweat it if you only have a light head piece over a medium head piece.

Be safe and have fun

Just to voice the dissenting minority opinion...

Those passives are a complete joke for a tank, and you are giving your resistances a big handicap.

Go 7 heavy.

Well a big chunk of that will be loosing your major resistance buffs. If you take off Chudan then you need to get that somewhere else. Those buffs are crucial.

But yeah, taking off two heavy is a big hit.

For the undaunted passive of Undaunted Mettle
Increases your Maximum Health, Stamina, and Magicka by 2% per type of Armor (Heavy, Medium, Light) that you have equipped. Since both ebon and Yolnahkriin are heavy only sets.

So it doesn't matter which is light or medium as long as I have a light and medium equipped for the passive bonuses?
