I wouldn't be surprised if they were running Shadow mundus for Crit Rush.

Keen eye there. Don't forget putting a ton of dot damage on shields since they aren't crittable. Dots rip shields.

Mechanics folks, mechanics win fights.

I'm sorry but you have provided no qualitative information in either your video or this thread outside of confirming the already well-known Malubeth.

So, and please be frank with me here, is this a "HEY MA LOOK WHAT I CAN DO" thread or a "Here's some information on how to develop your PVP tank" thread. Because the latter simply doesn't exist insofar as the former does.

So, you're mad? I did describe tactics and techniques in the video that we utilize to win fights. How most tanks just stand there being useless. How we actually have pressure to force fights.

If malubeth is so great then why aren't there 100's of people doing what we're doing? Because they don't know how to do what we do.

Malubeth is one piece of a giant web of mechanics. Read through the comments and you'll see some insight from other players that understand it. This is a series so the first episode is just an introduction.

There is a significant difference between qualitative and quantitative. However, this is not a class of any sorts so I'll leave you to that.

I know for sure that you're running Malubeth and Hide of the werewolf. I would guess fury or duneripper for last set depending if you want to be more tanky or hit harder.

He is receiving Tava's buff in this video - easily verifiable by watching multiple consecutive ticks of 6 ult.

Hist Bark: Fixed an issue where the Major Evasion proc granted by this item set could become permanently applied in rare circumstances.

We will see how well this build performs next patch. Hist bark/tavas/werewolf/malubeth is pretty strong.

It performs just as well, it will just be overshadowed by Magplars that perma block on Icestaff and s/b.

It's not based around dodge, its just a mechanic that add's on to the capability of it.

*edited* weapons are a thing, and that thing is OP.

Cant let out too much now.

Notice the dodge procs. Either they found a way to exploit major evasion (not that any decent player worth respect would do that) or Xin is wearing Histbark.

Either way, smart play to apply burst during Shield Wall ultimate along with good target focusing means they don't have to be doing that much damage.

The first set I thought of was Bastion of the Heartland. Very good PvP tanking set.

Notice the patch notes for homestead include a fix for the major evasion bug from hist bark.
The bug has been here a while and not publicly advertised (thank god) but you can permanently have the hist bark major evasion bonus WITHOUT wearing the set.

When doing so, enemy players have no visual clue or cannot tell that you are wearing hist bark, as the white animation only shows on your screen. The only way for people to tell that you are cheating is when you record gameplay and show it off.

Tavas procs for 9 ultimate, not 6.
6 ultimate is simply a regulat utt tick + an igneous shield ult tick for example.

I would hope no player would actually have an interest in trying to bug this and essentially exploiting the 5 piece, but there is no way to really tell.The easiest way to notice this is the white effect on the character, but only the user can see the effect.

This is most likely the answer you are looking for.

Someone has showed me how to achieve the bug. It's super easy to replicate and to activate whenever you want. The effect is removed upon death, which means if you have it by accident, you aren't going to keep it for very long and it's not much of an issue. If you have it for all your fights, I don't believe in the accident.

I won't reveal how to achieve it so as to not ruin the month of pvp we have left before the fix goes live. (and it's against the tos anyways).

Actually... it is quite entertaining to look at a video and try to piece together what sets someone is wearing.

I am quite certain he is using Ravaging and the Malubeth set is easy to see. When his arms glow orange, that is Ravaging proc'ing.

@Etaniel Why dont you upload anymore? Do you still pvp? You had one of the best ESO pvp montages of all time. When people ask about what 1.5 mag dk was like, I link "Genocide".

I noticed that too. idk, animations are weird in this game. Something with s/b ult and crashing.

Don't have much time on my hands :
-levelling my NA account
-killing pidgeons on bf1
-crappy prime time performance when I get home from work meaning even if I wanted to I couldn't get good fights to record.
-Hardware issues that forced me to reinstall windows and not play for a while.

Am i missing something. Didnt he just prove u are using an exploit/bug and you act like nothing wrong? Smh

This here is the problem with e-peening. Showing yourself exploiting game bugs and then coming to the forums and saying cute things like game mechanics when you are exploiting and getting more than 2 5-piece bonuses through exploiting. GG. Bet you used multiple mundus stones too.

Jeez bruh I'm still trying to figure out a dk and y'all already came up with a great build. I'm a little jelly great build bruh.

TBF, any build is good if you are using 3 5-piece bonuses.

I can't tell you what I'm running = I'm exploiting.

Actually quite a few people know the build, including myself (or variations of it at least). It just requires some testing of different sets. I can't comment on hist bark or not cause I don't play with him as I play on EU but I do speak to him on TS and I got the correct build (or at least one variation of the build) after testing out a lot of different sets.

Put some thought into it and you'll work out the build.

Decent.

There are a whole number of combination of builds that could tank like this. In the video itself, it's more or less teamwork keeping him alive and the 1h+shield ulitmate. All of that is irrelevant now that it is clear him and Sribes exploit his bark major evasion and benefit from 3+ 5 piece bonuses.

Thread will probably be closed. EU drama is OP. Oh well, funny how people think malubeth or having 20% dodge chance allows a person to tank like we did. In that case, everyone should go out there and try it. @Magus did state it, its about teamwork. I really am almost tempted to just say exactly what we're doing, but then everyone would be out there perma tanking with enough burst to win fights. In this patch, and the next. Since, you know, zos didn't change much at all balance wise.

I said it before, I'll say it again. The build does not revolve around dodge, as many things in game are undodgeable. Shoot, many things are unblockable. Heal debuffs are constantly on us. Yet we still can tank. Mechanics.

Believe what you want, just know that zos leaves many things far too easy to stack on top on each other. One person stated the synergy between 2h Heavy+Crit rush. That is just one piece.

ESO is buggy.

I could show you guys a clip where I crashed in cyro, logged back in and none of the keeps spawned.

ESO is broken, and I'm a guy that actually reports broken things.(well I used to, after a while I gave up trying. For instance, siphoning attacks still doesn't proc on shields.)

RIP Melee Magicka NB Bruiser build.

Anyway, take care folks.

P.S Look into major heroism

You'll get it bro, you're a good theory crafter and you actually test things out. Unlike most who just take others words for it.
