Going to try and gear mine out this Monday; Doing Torgs Pact/Fassalla/Valkyn

Why Torugs? You don't need spellpower since your Blazing Shields are your main damage source.

I've been seeing these builds around more often. At least one per large battle.
Glad people finally found the stats to make Blazing Shield useful after the Battle Spirit reduction.

I've been seeing a lot more lately too. They work well in large battles since AoE gets thrown around everywhere, which allows you to output constant damage.

10/10. Awesome build, awesome gameplay, awesome music. It was seeing yours and @Zheg 's build in action that inspired me to roll a tankplar.

Thanks! Finding the right music for the videos takes me almost as long as editing the clips.

you're not doing it for the spell power; Blazing Shield while your main source is not the only source of damage you have. Torgs Pact + Infused Weapons makes your weapon Enchants something close to around 7k Damage. That's entirely independent of an actual Stat or Spell Power...Meaning when ya do Jabs for example you're proccing an extra 7k Nuke constantly while weaving in Light Attacks. So for example, Your secondary bar (not the 1hd/shield you use for your Blazing Shield setup) Could be DW; Put Lightning and Cold Enchants on two Infused Weapons, and when people start to ignore ya charge on top of them and spam them to do with Jabs+Light Attacks...You'll be amazed at how quickly they'll respond to ya.

Okay, that makes sense.

Don't forget in Cyrodiil that the damage is halved so only 3k if you're lucky, since you'll have very low weapon/spell penetration due to no Sharpened. You'll also lose damage from your jabs/toppling, and everything else on that bar because of that, so I don't think you'd really net any damage.

The weapon enchant on the second dual wield weapon only procs if you do 2 light/heavy attacks right after one another. Even a heavy attack with dual wield just procs the first enchant; you have to light/heavy attack a second time to get the second one to proc, which makes it a bit unwieldy in combat.

If you're going that route, you might want to do Torug's with Sharpened weapons. Less enchantment damage, but sharpened is going to increase the damage on it and everything else on that bar.

I don't know how you avoid the perma-stuns I always encountered. Shuffle didn't help, Unstoppable didn't help, pots didn't help. Plenty of stamina, still can't break free...dead.

Extended Ritual. But only if you want to move, otherwise let your shield do the talking.

Edit: realized you said stuns not snares.

A good enemy will cc you. Immovable pots extend fights, but try to use your shield instead of block. Block is in emergency cases, you need break free to get out of jams.

I was fine with the snares, they can slow me down all they want, but I kept getting into these scenarios where I'd be forced to take a knee for what seemed like an eternity and I couldn't break free. Maybe just server lag issues, but CC immunity seemed spotty.

It's lag. What you are seeing is that your character gets hit by one cc, takes a knee and then is hit by another cc. The second cc will hit you, but for some reason it wont display visuals showing that you are out of cc immunity.

It sucks but, this build is mostly reactionary. Lag messes with it big time .
