Advice for tank

Uomodipunta · January 2017

So i've been doing pledges, crafting etc. and I have almost completed the build for my tank. It's a fairly traditional one, I'm using 2 bloodspawn, 5 ebon (with jewelry) and 5 tava. At the moment I only have to max out woodworking to be able to craft the tava shield, the last piece. I wanted a bit of advice on where to go from here, since I'm not so sure about my stats. Since I don't know how to copy the screenshot of my stats/skills, I'm gonna copy everything
Attribute Points:
28 health, 36 Stamina
Max Magicka 13469
Max Health 39567 (with food and ebon active)
Max Stamina 19265
Magicka rec 961 (I got atronach mundus)
Health rec 978
Stamina rec 800
Weapon damage 1188
Physical resistance 21369
Spell resistance 24669

These are my stats. I have all "big" pieces of armor with infused, the "small" ones with divines except bloodspawn shoulders with sturdy. I was going to put infused also on shield.
My weapon has the defending trait and crusher enchantment.

Skills
Volatile armor
pierce armor (i think, i reduce both phys and spell res)
heroic slash
grab (dk skill, not morphed)
absorb magic

2nd bar
choking talons
bone wall (morph that increases heals for allies
resolving vigor
evasion (not morphed)
igneous shield

Ultimates
aggressive warhorn
magma shell

Can someone give me a bit of advice? I think my resistance is too low but i don't know how to increase it, my armor is 7 heavy all purple. Also I feel like i have no damage at all (probably true), but I'm not sure if I should have more or if it's fine this way since my role is to tank....
Thanks and sorry for the text wall.

- You have unnecessary high Max Health . Put those Health attribute points to Stamina .
- Put chains on your back bar and igneous shield on your front bar .
- Your resistances are fine .
- Resources will be fine after you put points in Stamina instead of Health .
- Your job is not doing damage . Your job is buffing and debuffing while holding boss . That is all .
- Go Vampire and get the 10% Magicka Recovery and Undeath passive . Health Recovery is not important at all .
- For better understanding of why resistances don't matter that much , click here . Read and try to understand everything .

Hope this helps , good luck !

1. As Liofa stated, you have too much health. Allocate all your attributes into stamina instead.

2. No need for bone wall, you already have Igneous shield. You can replace it with Caltrops or Inner rage (ranged magicka taunt).

3. I would go 5 heavy, 1 medium, 1 light to get the 6% resources bonus. Just use medium bracers and light belt to maximize armor (just craft these as Tava pieces).

Otherwise, everything seems fine.

Thanks a lot for the answers I'll try modifying my char following your advice. I can do it!

infused on big
sturdy on small
sturdy/reinforced/infused shield

your stam should be 25-30k
your mag only needs to be ~15k for igneous

work defensive posture onto both of your bars
