Tips on my Tanking hotbar and tell me yours

Hey guys just wondering what everyone is running for tanking. not to be elitist but this thread will be focusing on tanking vet dungeons and vet content only. im aware that not 1 bar fits all situations but just your general setup.
mine:
DK, Heavy armor (all infused magicka enchants and spectres eye set)
Sword + board bar: Ring of preservation - Green Dragon Blood, Feiry Talons*, Unstable Flame and Ransack and standard of might
*Replace with Flame lash for single target/non cc boss
sometimes swap a dps skill with razor armor for extra tanking, but very rare
my 2nd bar is either bow or staff with impulse for aoe or snipe for pulling with crit as well as both weapons interupt (venom arrow/crushing shock) along with green dragon blood, igneous weapons for pre fight buffs and lastly a situation spell (evil hunter, obsidian shield, inner beast) the ult i run is corrosive armor or if i dont plan to use 2nd alt flawless dawnbreaker for more weapon skill dps (+13% dmg when slotted)
ive tanked all 3 of the 1st tier vet dungeons with this and been a secondary tank in aetherian a few times. but im really interested to know what other people use. always keen to learn how to be a better tank=) also, please no tanks are useless endgame comments;)

zgrssd✭✭✭✭Nightblade:
Siphoning Strikes with the non-healing morph (you need the extra stam/man more then the miniscule healing in group content), both bars.
Blur when needed.
Strife moprh wit hbetter healing received.
Siphoning Strikes makes power management very easy. You basically never run out of mana/stam. In turn the NB Tank lacks raw durability (go for high HP at least)
The dot gives you healing, keeps foes on you and more healign from healer.
One weakpoint is raw damage resistance (blur helps here a lot).
The biggest issue the lack of AoE skills. I heard path of darkness is better for aoe tanking then teleprot strike morph. But no tested it.Edited by zgrssd on August 18, 2014 8:38AMElana Peterson (EU), Dominion, Imperial Sorc, Rune & Alchemy Crafting Char

1st bar stampede, unstable flame, caltrops or harness magicka, fragmented shield and immovable with flawless dawnbreaker for ult.
2nd bar green dragon blood, burning talons, cinder storm, absorb magic, inner rage for my taunt and either corrosive armor, standard or barrier depending on the boss.Delta

✭full light armor templar
with degeneration, puncturing strikes and siphon spirit in combination with extended ritual make heals out side of mine for me unnecessary and i´m able to fullfill the healing and tanking part simultaniously opening the healer slot for a third dps if they don´t insists on standing in red puddles :P
second bar is only used to keep the overtime effects up
combination of lightarmor+channeled light+ ring of preservation keeps me around 50% dmg reduction towards both melee and spell dmg.spelling and grammar errors are free to be abused

✭My Khajiit Templar tank-DPS goes with 5HA, 2 LA. Shield.
5 part Soulshine, 5 part Seducer, 2 part Torug.
In PvE tanking,
Pierce Armour, Puncturing Sweep, Blazing Spear, Entropy (for the regen), Harness Magicka + Empowering Sweep
For PvP I change Entropy with Toppling Charge and is good to go.
Great tanking & survival ability, and a lot of AoE DPS, while very rarely will run out of magicka. (when I solo an VR10 anchor going to need couple of potions).
As for the last, 3 gold magicka cost reduce glyphs do go well with 100 ma regen plus Harness Magicka.
Altmer, Breton, Imperial are even better with the above combination.Edited by p_tsakirisb16_ESO on August 20, 2014 12:35PM1
