Is this NB Tank build possible and effective?
Hello guys, i was thinking to build a NB with Siphoning Attacks and keep spaming Drain Power with Brawler, so im using both my resources ( Magika and Stamina ) to heal myself and keep shielding myself. But my question is... Did the Siphoning strike will keep my magika and stamina up for a long time to keep spaming this both atack skills??? if im using a heavy armor set, it will me enouth to keep myself alive in a front live at a massive fight???
Or the shields, healings and regenerations from that skills is not enouth to keep me up in a big PvP fight??? Some people told me that a DK could me more tanker and resiliant, and i givi it a shot, but i find myself out of resource (Magika and Stamina) so fast, that i cant tank nothing more.. So, when i laid my eyes at this siphoning skill i thought I'd try a NB tank if it become possible to keep the resources up for a longer time.
AND.. if that build is possible, im planing to be a vampire for bats life steal.. what class fit this build better? Imperial for the health + stam plus red diamond... Nord for the % reduction... R Guardian for the stam regem... or Dummer for the fire resist ( because im a vamp) ?
A new question about races comes to my mind now, the "Increases Stamina Recovery while in combat by 9%" from some classe, this 9% will be aply only when im under combat, but this % is a base from my full stamina recover whem im out of combat, it it increase inly 9% based on that small of regeneration when I'm in combat
thx and sorry for the bad english

Stannum✭✭✭✭Think it's not good idea to tank with 2H.
The first thing tank should do is blocking. Blocking costs stamina. If you will spam brawl & Drain Power you'll spend lots of your stamin, and will not have 1h&sh passive bonuses for block cost reduction. So your stamina will be down very quickly and you cannot block. BtW power extraction does not heal.
So if you want to have DPS/tank NB build you should go magika sap tank build (smth like this http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/1621393/#Comment_1621393)
You can also make stamina NB tank but you'll need good stamina race (redguard will be ideal), 1h&sh, tanking and stamina regen sets, mirage and some non-class shield skills (armour or undawnted). May be in some cases (large number of common mobs) you will be able to spam power extraction with leaching attacks on, but it will not be common tactic.0 -
Thx alot guys, that info is realy usefull... my main question is if that siphonin atack is enouth to keep my resources up?? because im finding myself out of magika and stamina realy fast with another classes.. AND, im not sure if should i go for siphoning atack or the other morph for life regeneration...
and about be a vampire? be a Dummer didnt realy help with the fire damage? the passive fire resist is not enough? and is better to be a R Guard to get the stam regem on hit campared to Imperial 12% life and health regem when hit??? Thx alot again both you guys0 -
umagon✭✭✭✭✭I don't pve much so I can only talk about pvp. Tankblades can do well, that doesn't mean you can beat everyone one on one but there have been times were I one vs two and won, so you can be effective. The trick with siphon is to understand that it can proc every second. Using things like caltrops on large groups with siphon up will give you a lot of magicaka/stam regeneration.0

Thx alot guys... Now i just need to chose if be a vampire is a good choice for that.. and what class will be better, Dummer for vampire (If the fire ressist provided is enouth to compensate the extra fire damage), R guard for the extra % stamina regem ( i didnt get how that in combat regeneration works and if that worth) or Imperial for the extra life, extra stan and Red diamond.
If some one could help me with that,i will be glad, thx again =]0 -

Imperial werewofl... Vampire isnt worth for tanking because Vampirism is an offensive skill tree with the con that you get tons of fire dmg, healers are going to have a bad time if the tank is a Vampire.... You can use werewolf deffensively or just get the stamina passive...
Trust me Im a vampire...Edited by Chelo on March 17, 2015 10:19PM0 -

This is a build I use as a tank. It works really well. Use Bone Shield for the extra shield and Expert Hunter for awesome stamina return in large groups.
block glyphs in 1.6 really help this build. Good luck!William Reignes

✭Bosmer Werewolf Nightblade tank. Don't forget Bosmer get poision resistance to offset the werewolf sensitivity. No worries while tanking as it doesn't impact you in human form but you still get the regen.
I'm loving it and my Stamina regen is through the roof in and out of combat. I can dump my entire stamina bar and have it full again in a few seconds with a pause in blocking and one or two heavy attacks. Also sword and board. You won't be doing much tanking if you can't taunt.Edited by Elijah_Crow on March 18, 2015 3:27AM0 -
Clutch✭✭✭Rolling a Were Nord Knightblade using 2hand with: Cleave (absorb morph) and Blur (Armor morph). I could easily replace Teleporting Strike with Momentum (heals) for a very sturdy tank.0 -
