What type of Tank do you play the most

paulsimonps · February 2016

I really like tanking and I tank a lot but I'm also lazy and don't make alts all that much, always wanted to try tanking with other types of classes and resource focus. So it got me curious, what kind of tank does most people play as? My best guess is DK but what kind of DK? So what kind of tank are YOU?

Nightblade Stamina Tank

NB stamina tank. Unlimited stamina and magicka, permanent armour buff with shadow barrier that frees up skill slots for more damage dealing or even more tankiness if the situation calls for it, great self healing with minimal effort.

I also have a DK stamina tank but... yeah. Stamina DK tank doesnt even come close to stamina NB tank, I wish it did but it doesnt.

then try a DK magika tank.They are powerful and help groups a lot since they are using many class magika skills.They also can regen stam quick using magika

dk tank/burninator here

Hybrids and/or other

I play a DK HA health / hybrid build. Most of my points are in health (39k) with enough to give me 20k stam & 15k magica.

It doesn't cut it in PvP, but I'm a PvE'r & it works well enough there.

Dragonknight Magicka Tank

DK magicka tanks have the ability to spam talons, chains, self heals (including small dot if using embers or magick/interrupts if using inhale or draw essence), minor damage shields, a 10% bonus to fire damage, and will soon be able to provide a major sorcerer and major savagery buff. With all the wonderful DK buffs coming in the next patch, why not use the class to its full potential. I could spend so much more time just listing out the benefits it's crazy.

Dragonknight Stamina Tank

I mostly "tank" on my stamina dk. I have ~23k hp, medium armour and only 1 bar with 1h+shield (2h or dw on my other bar), but's enough to tank all vet dungeons and with my 37k stamina and nearly 3k weapon damage I can help kill stuff faster. For trials I need to switch my attribute points a bit to have more hp, but then even manti or hel ra hm are possible in medium armour.

DK Stam Tank.

Heavy armor / Hist Bark, igneous shield, green dragon's blood and defensive stance.

I love my nb stamina-focused tank.

My Stam DK is a Imperial as well

code65536 · February 2016

Nightblade Magicka Tank

I've tanked on both a magicka NB and a magicka DK. They have their strengths and weaknesses. For most content, my NB is better, able to add off-DPS and healing, but there are a few places where my DK can outshine.

Maddux · February 2016

Dragonknight Stamina Tank

I Tank with my HA Stamina-DK. 67 CP into Arcanist, Atronarch Mundus and Balance from Mages Guild and you never run out of Ressources if you know how to push them around

Hybrids and/or other

I don't know how to place my vote in my post here...but a hybrid / max health templar, I feel like being a nord and a templar its best to utilize my health in PVP and PVE over other resources

Farorin · February 2016

Templar Stamina Tank

Because I love it when my group disbands on me and calls me a loser for not picking another class and build to tank with, before even seeing if I can tank or not.

Sorcerer Stamina Tank

Lol I am the only stamina sorcerer that does any tanking. That says a lot about the state of the stamina sorcerer.

Sorcerer Stamina Tank

@Personofsecrets I thought you might be interested in this poll as it might be very useful to provide an overview of the relative strength or lack thereof of the tank options. I would suggest that based on this stamina sorcerers have the least tools atm.
