What do you think about this build: http://deltiasgaming.com/eso-templar-tank-build/

It is kind of odd to have 5 light armor as a tank and I just wanted to know if this was a good idea. It looks fun since ou can PvE dungeons and PvP in a small group. I might also take it for trials even if it might not be a good idea. But is this a good build?

    you will love the light armor for damage and sustain up until you get rekt in 2 seconds by anyone using stamina related attacks.

    I run 5 light and 2 heavy with defensive weapons. I'm pretty tanky with that build. Heavy pieces are chest and legs.

    It's been a couple of months (tbh: before 1T) since I gave this build a try, and I remember being VERY close to resistance caps (33k-something for both physical and magical)!
    Of course only with one of the Rune Focus morphs AND Armor Master 5pc bonus active (which will give you >10.5k resistance!).
    So yes, if you can manage a 100% uptime of both, you are pretty tanky...

    Did 2-man CoA II no-death with no problems, in fact CoA II has never been that easy :) - but (!) that was before 1T..
    And I never tried main-tanking a trial with this setup, so I've got no idea if that's viable.

    But does atlas a good healer for trials? Because its not a good tank for trials as far as I know.

    I hit an 18k dark flare crit the other day in light armor. Light armor is my Zerg surfing set up.

    I've actually been using this build for an imperial alt and found it to work really well. I don't have footmans though, so I've been running Undaunted bastion in its place. The shield can be a real life saver.

    Even in PvP? Should I swich to 5heavy 1 light and 1 medium?
