Tank Check?

raasdal · October 2015

Can anyone recommend a good tank check for a new Sorc Tank build?

Maybe a dungeon with an easy accessible boss?

Weak spot that i really need to test is Physical Damage.

do you want to run the dungeon with a group? coz just do the daily or whatever and see how it plays out.

If you wanna test how you handle damage (specifically physical) solo and manage solo, i always like going to a outpost in cyrodiil and aggroing all the guards and seeing if they can kill me and how easily.

Well, i want to test how i would stand up against a group-boss. Just going ahead and doing Silver/Gold would be easiest, but would also be really a disaster if the build is not working, and i am dragging 3 unwilling people through my build-testing... Can just imagine the outrage when the guy who claimed in chat to be a Tank, is dying all the time. I would be mad myself if people wasted my time like that.

So i am looking for a way for me to be Solo, but test against Group content (aka Group Bosses).

Cyrodiil Guards sounds like a good option. With IC i could also just go in there and find some Xivkyns to tank. But still do not think that really provides a good tank-check in relation to Dungeon Bosses. I want the build to be able to tank daily Gold. Trying to tank the 12-Man roaming bosses seems too big a mouthfull. But would definetely prove something (not sure if anyone can tank those behemoths).

Was hoping there was some special places / bosses where all tanks went to test their build, before they inflicted it upon real co-players and dungeon runs?

tanking the sweepers solo is silly but achievable. Tanking them within a group is pretty achievable.Some of the bosses hit weakly but have healing mechanics, maybe try tank them.
