https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5c-xQ5e4CZEI'm looking to create a toon that can solo WBs and the like without breaking a sweat. A little dps would be nice too, so fights don't take forever, but not necessary. I've done a little research, but I'm curious what opinions and insights you guys can offer. Class, race, build, set bonuses?
Thanks (:

On the other hand Magicka Nightblades also make good, self-sufficient tanks, so-called Sap tanks. On mine I run 5x Seducer and 5x Footman. It works, though it's an old build I'm not playing much right now. You can mostly stay on the one hand and shield bar, such as:
Swallow Soul
Sap Essence
Refreshing Path
Siphoning Attacks
Flexi Spot ... Defensive Posture for more tankiness
Ulti: Bolstering Darkness
Magicka NBs get healing from both Swallow Soul and Sap Essence. Sap Essence is AOE and heal. Swallow Soul is single target and heal over time. For the most healing you'll want to mix it up and use both, regardless of single boss fight or AOE trash fight.
Siphoning Attacks is crucial. If you are surrounded by enough trash, you can perma-block while casting Sap Essence and keep your stamina up.
Refreshing Path is an additional heal and activates an NB passive for increased resistances.
Bolstering Darkness protects you when you're out of stam, at which point you can drop block and restore stamina and magicka via Siphoning Attacks / light attacks.
It's always good to carry multiple armor sets though. Solo tanking can get tedious. I solo some of the easier vet pledges from time to time. The alternative to tanking - I'm thinking of trash fights - is to have so much DPS you mow everything down before it gets you. I quite like Elemental Blockade with an ice staff for this, on my magblade. It's a large snare and high damage.
In general I find a full tanking setup is overkill for many of the world bosses. Some you really need it, but most can be done - and it's more fun that way - with a more DPS focused setup. Not outright DPS, but the kind of balanced setup you'd use for duelling.
I assume you are referring to Deltia's build. I think the only thing that's meta about it is that it's a heavy armor SnB build using Tremorscale. By the same token you use Black Rose, which is totally meta right now, so I have no idea what you're trying to say.sneakymitchell wrote: »To be honest that's like a meta build right now.
I watched your build video. Nope. With health regen enchants on jewelry and no proc sets, I'm having a hard time believing it's an aggressive build. By your own admission you recommend werewolf to add some burst.My build is aggressive in ur face DK
Have you actually watched Deltia's video? One of the key points is that Kight Errant heals you while attacking. I've played his build and it is strong. I have also played Troll King and dual wield. That combination indeed produces a ton of health regen, very likely more than Deltia's build, but the question is how much you need. As a tank I ultimately find damage reduction, e.g. blocking, more important than health regen. It's an interesting build though.that heals with the damage he does.
Deltia does vMA with his build, so what's your point? Again you sound like you haven't watched the video or his preceding "hype" video where he mentions this.I do great DPS and can do vet mealstorm arena with it.
If you want to solo world bosses- you'll want a lot of DPS on your "unkillable" tank. While I LOVE playing DK tanks- I'd have to say that the easiest, self-sufficient, and somewhat high DPS tank is a Khajiit StamSorc Tank. I can solo world bosses easily and have pretty high DPS while doing it. (Remember, this is not the meta build for veteran trials tanking!)
If you want, I can update you on the max of my benefits after I improve my gear.
