Shield stacking Health tank build?

winterbornb14_ESO · December 2016

Looking for a PVE tank build that is purely focused on max health and shield stacking. I thought I saw something a while back on youtube but it I can not find it again.

Imperial, Templar, Vamp., Resto. staff ? Pure meat shield with no blocking play style.

Any build links or info. would be great, Thanks : )

Imperial Blazing Shield Tank. I run 5 plague doctor and 5 green pact all divines, malubeth head and shoulder. Run max health mundus and max health mag regen food. Woth that setup i jave 70k health, nearly 2k mag regen (vampire). I can tank in pvp and in pvp no worries, running blazing shield

Yes, this works

You need no restoration staff though.

You will stack your health as high as possible. And use blazing shield as your main shield and offense and spiked bone shield to stack. Add Structured Entropy on this bar and then you have plenty of space to add whatever you want. Rune focus would be helpfull as well, to have enough magicka to spam Blazing shield.

You should wait until it is destroyed though, because it deals more damage, the more damage it takes. So don't spam it without a brain.

There'sa dragon knight version for this build as well. Might be useful as a reference. http://tamrielfoundry.com/topic/alanarres-invincible-dk-shieldtank/#post-664613

The reason I was thinking Resto. staff is that you can use Healing Ward and heavy attacks for magicka regen. since you use the magic taunt from Undaunted. That and you don't need to block much as well as Bone Shield being magicka based.

I stumbled upon a 72k vamp NB health build. Pretty hilarious.

Here is a DK health tank, which uses a combination of shields and big increases in healing received along with passive (proc sets) for healing:

I re spec'ed my Stamplar a bit to see if I liked this style of tanking and so far this is much more fun. No more perma blocking, stam management, bar swapping, red dodging cluster fest.

Great for laggy pug groups.

I will call it the "Stand in Stupid" tank build : )

Everything you mentioned above is what makes being a tank fun. Create a build where you do nothing but stand around soaking damage, and that's how you become bored of the role.

And you provide no group utility my healers have to work over time to restore your *** pool, why would anyone want you as a tank again?

not viable

Not boring at all, lots to do just not all blocking, rolling and running around.

With this much health and shields as well as self heals, healers don't need spam heals/shards as often so you work less.

Seems viable to me so far and those that have made and posted similar builds before, so?

Since I don't need to worry so much about blocking or rolling and running out of red so much I can provide more taunts/utility more often. So who would not want this viable build as a tank : P

I'm using a nb siphon tank with troll king, ogrims scales, and bee keeper. Throw bone shield in the mix with block cost reduction and you have a tank that never runs out of resources, has a damage shield for when you get to low health, and has over 8k health regen when at 60 percent health. Not to mention cloak, shuffle and fear. Switch out bee keeper for viper and you have a crazy tough semi gank build for pvp.

Don't need healer or crazy high health either.
