You should categorize the tank into Pve and PvP tanks. Apparently your tank is on the PvP side

Yea I spend most my time in Cyro

Holy crap is it me or is everyone running heavy armor now it's crazy how tanky some builds are but anyways I been trying some different builds with my DK
what sort build do you guys run ?

Stam dk orc
Heavy
DW dps bar
2h buff bar

the real tank problem is not solved yet (pvE tank) just a few mins back,a guy was looking for ppl for vet pledge,I said " ill join,im a tank" he said "nah we dont need a tank,we just need 3 dps and a healer"

as long as ZOS dont change the mechanics of dungeons so that it needs a tank to be completed the tanking role will always be lacking.

The changes they made was just to lure people to make tanks,but that dont solve the preoblem.

Problem won't be solved until mobs hit harder and have a real threat table.

yes,thats totally what i meant when I said till they change dungeons mechanics.At least make all bosses to have a single attack that will 1 shot non tank players.

Like maybe,bogdan,that have a single target breath that takes like 75% of a tank health and most DPS get 1 shooted by it.

The problem then is like most mechanics it will not be implemented right and would be spammed but the MOB to the point healers would never be able to keep up and all roles would be useless.

Just try being caught by a guard in a large building a few times and watch how sometimes they just spam root instead of any other attacks for long periods sometimes.

They need to make us tanks more useful yes but not in ways that will glitch and just destroy all roles.

As for the OP's question.

I run a Pve tank 1st Bar taunts and self buffs 2nd bar team buffs and one minor dps skill. Both bars Sword and Board. 35k+ HP and 28k Physical and Spell resist buffed. I am there to tank not there to do damage, that is for the DPS to handle.

Edit: Stam DK Imperial tank.

if a game that is supposed to be about small team mechanics should offer content difficult so that it challenges players and forces us to actually play it with a tank, a dps and a healer. if my friends and i can run through white gold and prison without a healer and a tank before they nerfed it, there is obviously is a problem. the easier the game is the more boring it gets and the more likely i and other hardcore gamers are to move on and take their money with them.
