Magblade Hvy PVE/PVP Issues

Fellwitch · May 2017

So I finally managed to get enough gear to run a Bahahra/Leeching tank setup.

Unfortunately the itemization is bad but I would say all my gear is blue with 5 items having reinforced.

I have been running normal pledges now with no problems whatsoever.

My stats with food are 27k mag 26k health 10k stamina. You may ask, how can I tank with 10k stamina? I have 3 block enchants on my blue jewelry and at this point, in normal dungeons, I am immortal. I only need to block alpha strikes.

I then tried pvp and found out that without impenetrable, my immortal tank is built out of paper. Soooooo on to my questions.

I tried to run one vet dungeon so far and our healer quit group after he saw it was full of 230 cp people. I found that I was able to solo fungal grotto with no issue (just took a long time) so I am wondering if I have to join a guild before I can tank vets.

As for pvp I am wondering if I can keep using bahahras but with impenetrable, as the proc will spawn on my attacker. Leeching is useless as it is a stationary aoe. I would also have to farm forever to get impenetrable.

I was thinking maybe I could get black rose heavy as my other set and maybe be okay. In general though I can't find any way to increase my dps in pvp to kill people. Any help on a heavy armor magicka pvp set would be appreciated.

I can also keep running normal pledges and dungeons over and over since my gear seems to basically be trashmaster OP.

Thanks!

just one info to be sure you know that: you are aware that impenetrable trait is only good for PVP, right?

for PVE DD is divines the best one (or some say divines for the bigger parts, and infused for the smaller parts), as monsters never crit, so impen is useless there

Since i couldn't control what dropped for leeching it is a mix of everything. For bahahras it is all reinforced.

I don't have a pvp set yet unfortunately.

I don't have to block at all except for special abilities during boss fights and the rest of the time I just chill. I am sure on vet mode I would have to have different traits though...

Vet dungeons? Nah, I'm sure you're fine with your experience.
For PvP, unfortunately you'll need different gear, and impenetrable is very valuable, in No CP more so. That being said, in CP PvP you do have access to the impen line kinda helping your situation out

You'll never tank in pvp with 10k Stam. One fear or cc and you'll get killed instantly. Go high Stam low magika but high mag recovery.

Other way around. It's Infused for big parts and Divines for small parts, since Infused is more powerful on big pieces than small ones, while Divines has a consistent effect that does not depend on the size of the piece it's on.

In almost all situations there's a way to find a solution

Go, with your current gear, to Imperial City (of course out of prime time, very early morning is the best, when most players are sleeping) and farm 25k telvars. this is exact cost of 5 pcs Black Rose heavy set, all impen, purple quality. Replace Bahraha with it, and go enjoy pvp

Good luck
