My rend tool tip goes for 69k self buffed using just Tbs, VO and Krags and vma daggers. Meaning that *** is hitting for well over 120k empowered+crits+trap giving me a tasty 80ks worth of heals over 16s. ...who needs heavy armor at all with that+surge, thirst and blood craze, nigh invincible with 21k res.
Just not needed at all.
Wow. So this post is specifically about a heavy armored tank with sword and board...
...and you hijack it- talking about a medium armored build with dual wielding swords?
That's the equivalent of a light armored magsorc chiming in about how they can pull higher dps with a destro staff...
No sh*t, Sherlock.
This post is about what a tank can do.
People have just been making the point that you can defeat all the worst bosses much faster with a pure DPS build because stamsorcs are so incredibly resilient. No need to take offense.

Yes but why do they link in builds with 5 VO etc?
We all know this already and as the OP said it's a heavy armoured build not medium so it's annoying them hijacking thread writing info for DPS builds when this isn't a DPS build.

I will eat my shoe if you can sustain 30k DPS using heavy attack / wrecking blow self buffed with Dreugh King Slayer set.

The build is a "World Boss Buster" and he made it clear that this is the intended purpose of it. It may make you angry that a medium armor build is faster and more efficient at killing world bosses, but that's why people are saying it.

People shouldn't be able to tank, heal and dps.
Stamsorcs need a lot of nerfs
Uh... all classes can do this. This is what happens when you make a build that's not a pure "meta" tank. You can actually do decent damage and self-heals as a solo build. You won't be running vet trials any time soon- but you can have a ton of fun in the mean time!
Here's some solo tank builds that have high DPS, high heals, and high survivability:
Magic DK:
5 Akaviri Dragonguard, 5 Silks of the Sun, 2 Valkyn. The DPS and heals from Burning Embers, Flame Lash, and Draw Essence are fantastic!
Stam DK:
5 Black Rose, 5 Knight's Errant, 2 Tremorscale. High DPS and Heals EVERY TIME you hit Puncture.
Magic NB:
5 Leeching Plate, 5 Bahraha, 2 Malubeth. High DPS and Heals just by placing Refreshing Path or Sap Essence.
Stam NB:
You're screwed.
Magic Templar:
5 Soulshine, 5 Spellpower Cure, 2 Chokethorn. Soulshine increases not only damage of your puncturing sweep- but the heals from it as well.
Stam Templar:
You can pretty much use the same build as my Khajiit- but I'd trade Molag Kena for Sentinel of Rkugamz.
