Best Monster Helm for Tank
DonWalking
✭✭✭
Just need to know the best monster helm for tank. I want it to be good for all around, everything and anything. I don't want to get another monster helm set just to find out it's good for PvP but completely bad in PvE. I'm not putting Tremorscale on this list (I'm done rocking that set), and I currently have Engine Guardian and Blood Spawn. Was working on Scourge Mother until I decided I was fed up with opening chest after chest and not getting what I need. Don't be saying blah blah this set is only for experienced tanks. I'm currently rocking Ebon set and the second set I'll keep to myself from all you Judge Judy(s). REMEMBER THIS MONSTER SET NEEDS TO WORK ALL AROUND FOR TANKING IN MULTIPLE DIFFERENT SCENARIOS! (Lol sorry about the last one, it posted without me finishing the poll options so I raged). I'm a stamina DK.

✭✭Unfortunately as of now its blood spawn. But it looks like crap and is possibly the most boring monster helm in existence...0 -

✭✭✭✭✭On live bloods lawn and lord warden work well. Best is a matter of preference. Both offer a little something for the group.
However, the expansion will bring changes to our resource management. If your a DK you may want more magika regen. @Woeler has one piece chokethorn and one piece shadowrend in his build for that purpose and it makes sense.
The other classes are a little different. Not sure what I will do with my NB tank.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭How are there votes for pirate skeleton?
Well, ask @WalksonGraves . This guy really likes Pirates Skeleton on a NB non-sap tank. He also has some other great set ideas for tanking too

Blood SpawnI dont know about other tank classes but for DK Blood Spawn is the best for the ult generation which is beneficial for faster resource recovery when casting ults.1

✭✭Mighty Chudan being on the poll irritates me so much . Even seeing this set as a tanking set is an insult to other sets honestly .
For a proper answer , there is no such thing as ''best'' monster set being suitable and useful for every situation . That just doesn't exist . Using Lord Warden in a fight where your teammates barely get any damage is just stupid . Using Scourge Harvester where you don't get high sustained damage is not necessary at all . You simply cannot use Pirate Skeleton if you have to block all the time because it makes you drop block when it procs . Using Blood Spawn on a fight where you don't get high amount of hits is not a very good idea . These are just examples . Get every set and switch between according to whatever your group needs .5 -
GreatGildersleeve✭✭✭✭Swarm Mother'There can be only one.' ???
Not being meta (love my sorc tank) I regularly swap between Swarm Mother, Lord Warden, and Engine Guardian. It really depends on the group and the fight.
I just know my toon will only ever wear Chudan and Pirate if someone puts it on his corpse. Never. Ever.Edited by GreatGildersleeve on May 18, 2017 9:19PM0 -
Avalon✭✭✭✭✭Since I do NB Magicka Tanking, I lean towards Chokethorn and Engine Guardian, depending on what is going on...0 -

✭✭✭✭Lord WardenBloodspawn is overrated. The resistance boost is mostly wasted since as tank you probably have ~30K and the ult gain is not really noticeable because the proc chance is low. Lord Warden also boosts the resistance for nearby allies.Beta tester since February 2014, played ESO-TU October 2015 - August 2022, currently on an extended break

✭Pirate SkeletonDks only like bs because they have garbage ult generation, Pirate Skeleton is by far the best helm. Whoever said the proc lowers your block needs to lay off the skooma.Edited by WalksonGraves on May 18, 2017 9:59PM3 -

Bloodspawn is for ult gen usually.

Sacrificing a unique buff which I could get from other monster sets to get something every single class in this game easily gets ... Hmmm , let me think . No .WalksonGraves wrote: »Whoever said the proc lowers your block needs to lay off the skooma.
I just tested it in PTS , it does drop your block , for a split second . Not everytime , but sometimes it does . It is clearly a bug and I am not gonna leave myself to arms of ESO RNG .0 -

✭✭✭Engine GuardianI have a hard time hitting resistance cap on my nb sap tank so blood spawn is nice for that. It also helps with getting insane ultimate regeneration.
I do however really like how sentinel procs all the time on this type of tank.0
