Stamina NB Semi-tank for DB

Gan Xing · May 2016

I'm considering on becoming a Stamina NB tank for DB patch. I've tried it before, and while I did have better survivability, I was lacking items that would have made me more survivable without risking my damage output significantly. Any suggestions for when the DB patch comes out?

You can basically just use 2x bloodspawn and s+b and be very quite tanky on stamina classes.

I assume this is for pvp?

Make sure to go as many impen as you can, preferably 8 (including shield).

I'd personally go 7x medium but if you want to go 5/1/1 or 5/2 for extra armour then make sure you have undaunted passives as well as making sure you get the most armour value. E.g. Make chest heavy first, if you decide to go 5/2 then go chest + legs.

It will be for PvP.

I haven't tested it too deeply, given that in PTS, I cannot make v16 gear. I might try with v14 gear.

I ran around with the v16 medium hundings rage that they gave me along with the Maelstrom weapons with (consider all passives active):

I ran around in IC with this and was able to deal good damage. I had 3k Weapon power, and decent survivability. I want to continue to test it.

Ideally I would like to have some Tel Var stones to see if I want to use any of those sets. I know already that I like the Black Rose set, as I have a vet15 (champ 150) set on live now.
