WARNING: Not tested on any trials yet. However, all Veteran Dungeons (aside from Shadows of the Hist DLC) have been completed with this build.

PVE MAGICKA SORC TANK

GEAR SETUP (5H/1M/1L):

5 piece Kagrenac's Hope (Infused Chest + Legs / Divines or Reinforced on Hands, Waist, Feet) - Health Enchants
http://elderscrollsonline.wiki.fextralife.com/Kagrenac's+Hope+Set

2 piece Iceheart (Infused Helmet / Divines or Reinforced Shoulders) - Health Enchants
http://elderscrollsonline.wiki.fextralife.com/Iceheart+Set

2 piece Endurance (2 Healthy Rings w/ Magicka Regen)
http://elderscrollsonline.wiki.fextralife.com/Endurance+Set

2/3 piece Willpower (Healthy Necklace w/ Magicka Regen, Defending 1H w/ Crusher Enchant, Infused Shield w/ Hakeijo Enchant)
*Defending Ice Staff w/ default Enchant on back bar
http://elderscrollsonline.wiki.fextralife.com/Willpower+Set

APPROX. STATS: 34k Magicka - 33k Health - 15k Stamina / Resistances @ 29k / 2000 Magicka Regen - 800 Stamina Regen

NOTES:
-The 5 Heavy pieces can be interchanged with whichever alternative you desire (more resistances, more shields, more health, etc.) but the skills in place work well together. I've tried Imperium and Undaunted Bastion instead of Kagrenac's but I prefer more Magicka.
-Aegis + Familiar must be on all bars for the stat bonuses.
-A Destruction Staff ability must be slotted for one of the passives so that is why Elemental Blockade is on Bar#2 and not Liquid Lightning.
-Overload bar is used only as an execute bar (Refreshing Barrier might be a nice substitute for Support Magicka Aid passive OR Shooting Star for Mages Guild Magicka Controller passive)

OTHER THOUGHTS:
-Master's Sword might be a nice replacement for the Defending 1H Willpower weapon (needs to be Defending though)
-Curious if Replenishing Barrier (gain ultimate and magicka any time an ally’s shield expires or is destroyed) benefits the caster from your own shield expiring/being destroyed OR even your familiar's!

    Would you mind explaining how to play that specc in a dungeon?


    Video would be cool. There is no useful video on YouTube about Sorc-Tanks.

    Absolutely. I'll work on getting some footage uploaded from Xbox.

    Okay so here's a short clip to show how I make this work:

    I'm with a pug in this video and it definitely takes longer than it should (dps are really bad and I think my own is better). I'm running 5 kags, 5 black rose, 2 ice heart in video.

    Any questions let me know.
