What could my stat split look like as a tank in PvP? I assume quite different to a PvE one.

@Bashev attribute point translation (I play Imperial so I have bonuses to health plus stamina) What are the differences between a stamina and magicka tank playstyle wise?

Does anyone have/know of any tank PvP gameplay (recent preferably)?

I would also like to point out my sorc tank got better in the higher levels (i assume is true for all builds) in the pre vet levels around lvl 30 I started destroying 1v1 as a vet 1 im avoiding PvP until more CP points.

Game play footage is hard to find lol

Is the curse to prevent stealth, if so that's like the only reason to run it imo.

My tank right now solo'ed all but two dungeons, which can be considered by few as impressive.

I would love to hear or see some PvP game play too. I really like the posts.

Im not the biggest fan of Daedric mines atm tho, I unlocked it and started using it. Seemed like a "win more" ability (yeay MTG terminology)

I want something I can use close and frequently, any suggestions? Something to put a bit of damage on em.

Shielded Assault?

Hmm. Here is what I do. First lightning form, hardened ward, then crystal, move in close, drop liquid lightning, then light and heavy attacks weaving crystal hardened and form.

With that ult reduction i can drop atronach and use it again by the time he unsummons.

Gap closing, i can bolt to them and shard. Magicka management is key, so i try not to spam offensive spells.

In PvP i do allow enemies to run away because usually they are trying to regain the advantage, i have chased down a templar and killed him but he wasn't a build that could become dangerous.

Im about to test out destro staff abilities with frost, gonna change shattering prison with the root one to minimize their run abilities.

I would ask others about better closers, i can't help but think 2h has the best closers (that fly across screen move is good)

Remember soon the PvP changes are comin up so this can all change (though i believe heavy armor gets a boost yay)

In fact i think tanks will be better after changes

Im really starting to look at overload. As a sorc tank we still have massive magicka (leaning on magicka for hardened ward over a bit of health)

This means we can still DPS, we may not deal the 20k light attack but i think we can still deal a lot.

I really don't like how you have to guess when they are 20% health for the execution moves, im sure I will run it though. Reason i bring mage's wrath up is that an overpowered light attack probably will deal same if not more damage and would work well as a finisher.

@21jws10 I would love to hear the details of your fight! Good job btw

Last night my PvP experience was me Barely awake grinding cracked wood cave... suddenly I get knocked down, (thinking it was a goblin) I slowly turn around (it was 1 a.m.) and dead lmao. Apparently a couple of enemy vets snuck up behind me and unleashed 6 spells on me (a bit over kill especially in my state)

But don't worry a couple of vet 14s on my side took quick work of them!

Working well, at the moment, slightly unsure about Rune Prison however, is it good? I haven't used it before.
