Max Health, Magic, and Stamina- even spread?

Savos_Saren · May 2016

I've been working on a pure hybrid Argonian DK tank and I'm trying to max out all of my resources for theorycrafting. Does anyone have access to the PTS to test the following build?

I've got my Attribute Points spread evenly for Health, Magic, and Stamina.
5PC Bahraha's Gloom: Increases Max Health, Max Magic, Max Stamina
5PC Twice Born Star: Increases Max Health, Max Magic, Max Stamina

Argonian Passive increases Max Health while the two Mundus can increase Max Magic and Max Stamina

Put Hakeijo on all armor pieces and the shield! All heavy armor except one medium and one light (for the 6% Max Health, Max Magic, and Max Stamina from Undaunted passives) I think the Min/Max for that is a light belt and medium bracers, right?

I'm going to use Bloodspawn- so, I won't get a max health benefit like some of the other Monster Helms.

I don't necessarily want a discussion of how to make a viable build. That's not what I'm doing here. (Obviously, I could roll a Dunmer, Orc, or Imperial for their dual racial passives.) I just want to see what the highest numbers in resource pools are available on an Argonian. Can anyone else think of a way to add more health, magic, and stamina (somewhat evenly)? I'm hoping to crunch the numbers to see if I can get 30K in each category.

You could use 4 Bahraha + 4 Twice born + 4 Syvarra to get even higher stats in exchange for bloodspawn and bahraha 5 piece bonus if you just care about stats.

If you were strictly trying to raise those 3 stats, you'd want to use either divines or infused for your traits to help further them (not sure what the best combination in this case would be)

Also heavy armor will now give 2% max health per piece, Mage guild skills also add 2% max Magicka per ability slotted

Edit: though as a tank you will need some Regen and resistance? How do you plan to tank without it?

Have you seen any purple quality Syvarra jewelry? Bahraha only seems to drop in blue.

DKs have excellent resource management through the use of Ultimate abilities. In an earlier post- I showed people how a V9 hybrid argonian tank wearing blue v5 armor can beat vWGT. Here:

That was, of course, a less-than-ideal build.

I'm not saying they don't, but having something to further benefit that is going to help, as a tank you need Stam Regen to keep blocking, and if you have no resistance bonuses at all, you're going to be weaker than the average tank?

That thread doesn't show me a vr9 argonian tanking vWGT in vr5 armor? If it's supposed to please link me to the video.

I'm actually interested in seeing the end result of this. I'm not sure it's possible to reach 30k on all stats with an Argonian but I've been experimenting on my Argonian with some interesting results as well.

I have a sort of Hybrid NB Sap tank for PvP and dungeons that I use periodically, although he's more geared towards magic than anything. As such, he's using 5 BC, 5 Transmutation (for PvP only) and 2 Bloodspawn. Change Transmutation for 2 Worm Cult and 3 Willpower for PvE. Right now, I only have 4 pieces of gear Prismatic enchanted and all but the Bloodspawn Shoulder is infused but I'm waiting for DB so I can finish up by buying Hakeijo's once it becomes available and hopefully an Infused B.Spawn shoulder as well.

He can get 33k magic, 25k health (30k in PvP) and 17k stamina with Tri-stat food but as I said, he's magic based, with all stats into magic and arcane jewelry but I'm curious to see your results as well.

It's a screenshot of the accomplishment further down the thread. Bloodspawn and medium armor passive should help with the regen some. We'll have to see tomorrow!

I'm intrigued by this concept.

I would strongly suggest that you set up your bars first, as slotting some abilities will increase your pools.
An excellent choice when it comes to raise your max stats for tanking is Structured Entropy from the Mages Guild skill line: slot it on both bars for + 8% more health, 2% more magika and + 2% magika recovery (from Mages guild passives) just to have it slotted, on top of that, it provides a small DoT and HoT, Major Sorcery and grants empower for example, before casting your ulti.
Also, Inner Light with +5% max magika (+2% max magika and +2% magika recovery from passives) would be an option, but not nearly as useful for tanking as Structured Entropy and double slotting both would seriously gimp your tanking abilities.
With the new changes coming to HA, 5 pieces should net you 10% max health so: Argonian passive + Structured Entropy + 5 HA and you're looking at 27% more max health

Then tweak everything using your attributes points until you reach those levels you're looking for, not sure if it attainable with an Argonian though...
