    Looks like an excellent build and I'm glad to see somebody using WW it seems way underutilized which is sad. I am a nightblade dps with bow and dual wield and was considering trying WW but it seems like the abilities lend themselves to tanking much more.

    A question for the poster as I believe I must have misunderstood:
    You are wearing all Heavy armor with Divines traits adding to the Lady Mundus Armor bonus plus Armor enchant rings to over-overcharge armor. But you say you also stack Ransack, Razor Armor, and Bone Shield......

    Why?
    (Keeping in mind this is prior to Update 6 so the effects do stack but soft caps and diminishing returns are very much in place.)

    Looks impressive in the damage reduction department, but not sure how well it'd last in 1.6 because buffs don't stack. I still prefer my Sap Tank above all other tanks, so many HoT... So much.

    I play a very similar build, but I've opted for using Punctures other morph. I go for Volatile Armor for the damage that it does on casting, which gives a chance to gain a little more ultimate. Come 1.6 I will probably keep Volatile for it's overall damage though.

    I like using Crippling as well, that increase to Ultimate Generation means I'm more likely to be hitting that 200 sooner rather than later (again a change coming in 1.6 though).

    Still, I like seeing more tank builds that use WW as well. Nice build.

    Worse build i ever seen.I mean no ofence. Keeping Spiked Armor and GDB on both bars -pointless. Keeping WW ultimate on your aoe/second/bar and Standart on your sinlge target dps/taunt bar= pointles, keep ww on single bar and standart on aoe bar.Using Razor armor=pointles, the Volatile morph give you aoe dmg/easy to gather agro on start/ and fast ultimate build/because of aoe dmg/ Bone Shield - remove and replace with Defensive Posture/healing morph= you can even solo casting VET 14 dungeon bosses/and i mean it. Inferno sea of flames??? RLY?!?!= OOM all the time/replace with rally Remove GDB and Spiked armor from second bar and pick Executioner/for kill phase when boss is below 25% and range taunt from undaunted or Extandet Chains/ to stack dat naughty healers/archers/casters and aoe them fast. Uppercut is useless too because you go for bar 2 only below 25% boss health and will spam heavy attack/executioner /repeat. http://esohead.com/calculator/skills#mzVz9s8fXGM8fXhA8fXhs8uEI18ugIa8jb3e8uzgC8Gsbb8wABe8wAlB8wAvz8umHI8y7rLR3a6mR3b6rR3r8x7Crsfd6Lsff6Lsfw8E7bLzmW6LzVS8l7GLzoC6LzkA6rzky8B7Jrzsb8X7zrfLW8zR7zzEwXB8zf7zzNbo8zu7zzHfYE6zHfZd8zG7zzHQ3F8zI7zzJIoX6zJIkL8zN7zzJZcY8zA7zzKpUN8zL7zzK4EX

    What you say may work for you, but don't you think that this would just be the completely different build? He just plays as he likes, and if you think that this build is useless, well, you haven't seen him in action. I have, and believe me this is the most badass build I've yet encountered in game, at least for the survival part. Plus, what you propose really takes all fun out of the game, and is actually made for completely different play style and game goals. That's the fun part about ESO - possibilities are infinite, experimenting with different cool unique and functional builds, and not simply take the "best calculated one". That's what I actually hated most in WoW.

    And just in case you ask - I am that Daedric Monk he mentioned.

    I agree with "He just plays as he likes" part. About ""you haven't seen him in action""- no need i just need to see skills... " what you propose really takes all fun out of the game"?! pls explain me HOW viable builds takes fun of the game ? " and not simply take the "best calculated one" - I not take it- i create it myself and he`s not best calculated one- just "the best proven one"

    Basic Dragonknight Tank Build, Magicka Based.

    Taunt, Green Dragon's Blood, Razor Armor, Igneous Shield, Talons/Cinder Storm, Magma Armor

    Offbar can be whatever the heck you want...

    I run that setup on my Dragonknight when I have to tank a legitimate boss, otherwise I just use my PvP set up on one bar and Destro set up on the other... To be a tank in this game all you need is an armor buff and a shield... Oh and the taunt.

    My PvP setup is awesome for tanking, 7/7 Light armor, pop Razor armor, and go pull 600 DPS with Unstable Flame, Engulfing Flames, Flame Lash spam, maybe throw in some crushing shock for the lulz... And I have enough stamina to block mobs forever because of my enchants, Engine Guardian set and pancakes. :blush:

    This build is completly dumb, not to mention that the user has no idea of what he has specced and why.
