M-Tek-9's Dark Elf Dragon Knight Dreadnaught Build (Tank or DPS End-Game content simply by swapping armor sets. No respecs required)

***BE ADVISED THIS BUILD IS NOT FOR A BEGINNER. RESOURCE MANAGEMENT SKILLS REQUIRED***

! Untested in Vet Maelstrom
_______________________________________________________________________________

To begin I'd like to say that this is an end-game build designed, created, tested and exercised solely by M-Tek-9. It takes practice to maintain and sustain but once you familiarize yourself with an active tank build you'll be fine.

To remind you this build will allow you to successfully tank or dps any and all game content conveniently by simply changing your gear on the fly. It is imperative that you understand survival and success of end-game content depend on the users ability to understand game mechanics.

VR 16 with 225+ champion points is recommended for successful results. Keep in mind anything I recommend is based off of my personal play style and may require adjustments for your satisfaction and success.

This Video is me using the DPS Imperium Set-up. This set-up demonstrates respectable DPS and major endurance in the *** of zerg PVP. There is a point where my display is engulfed in enemy attacks so immensely you cant see a damn thing.
