Any Medium Amour NB PvP Tanks Out There?

Grim13 · December 2014

I've been toying with tanking as a NB in Medium to moderate success, mostly because I've grown bored of the DW/Bow build I've been running since beta, and need a bit of a change...

So, I was wondering if there were any brave pioneers out there that might have some useful suggestions for me?

I'm wearing a 5 piece Histbark set with 4 pieces of Ashens Grip and 3 Shadow Walker jewelry. Sometimes I'll throw on the Elder Sisters set for *** and giggles.

First Bar: Dark Cloak, Invasion, Concealed Weapon (lol can't give up my sneak speed as of yet), Absorb Magic, Sap Essence. Ultimate: Devouring Swarm or Veil of Blades.

Second Bar: Dark Cloak, Mass Hysteria, Pierce Armour, Unstoppable, Double Take. Ultimate: Soul Tether.

So, while I'm doing great on survivability... I'm not doing so well with killing anything, and I'd like to be able to kill things too.

Ps- I'm even realising that with my increased survivability I may be willing to drop Cloak. Although, it is a useful status remover.

Could replace histbark set with hundings rage if your looking for more weapon dps.

Concealed Weapon is scaled of magic damage soo i dont see the point of mixing it with medium armor.

i testing right now medium armor stamina tank build- my bigest problems are no self healing and i run out of stamina faster then magicka users. cuz i have to use stamina for attacks

Concealed weapon has its damage based on magicka, yes, but its critical chance uses weapon critical, which is granted by medium armor and not by light.

Of course, that will be changing in 1.6.
