I run 3 willpower healthy, 5 kags and 5 alchemist on mine. 5 heavy 2 light. 3500 sp 36000 mag 31000 hp. Once I get the arcane willpower Ill change to it. Would push me close to 40 000 mag with mag light. Proxy/tether bombs work great and you have the survivability to keep sapping in the middle of the pile. Ive killed 10 people at one shot. I had the kill X amount of players quest and it jumped 10 in one blast without VD. You just need to time it right.

How did you get 5x kags, 5x trans, and 3x willpower?

Do you use 1h/shield on the bar that does your proxy/tether, or sharpened DW swords/etc? How do you find resource management?

I use 1h on my det bar. I know I can get better burst with dual but then I wouldn't be a tank. I use a sharpened sword. My build isn't just to proxy burst, it's meant to be a true tank. Sure if Im going into a zerg or I am outnumbered proxy/tether is always on, but my soul harvest can crit for 20000k(10k with battle spirit) so I have effective burst 1v1.
Sustain is lower but with siphoning attacks and a heavy resto staff I can get 5-6k mag back with one heavy. Fear is your friend when you are low on stats, it allows you to reset the fight and regen with a few heavys. Plus heavy/light weaving procs your bow which is insane damage.

What do you run for jewelry enchants and mundus? Just curious, I haven't tried the heavy sap tank in quite a while but have been thinking of revamping mine.
Just slapped on 5pc Julianos heavy last night and had a blast...switched between Trans and Elf Bane.
One thing that I'm still trying to settle on is Mundus choice. I love Atronach for the regen but I feel I don't need it most of the time (and get pretty good regen from Trans + Siphoning). I switched out to Shadow last night and I saw some pretty nice crits (damage and heals) but only on people who didn't run Impen (or not much of it) so it is only helping me some of the time it seems.
The two I'm stuck on are Apprentice vs. Mage. Both give a nice damage increase but it seems (on my toon at least) Mage gives me more damage. Anyone else seeing this?
@ninjaguyman My current skills for it is:
SnB swallow soul, mistform, sap essence, entropy, and refreshing path.
Resto siphoning strikes, annulment, fear, cloak, and harden ward
