I know there are some of you out there who play differently - who really spice things up. What are your rare, unicorn builds that deviate from the norm?

Lots of AoE defiling, and even with being a tank Fissure hits pretty hard. Growing Swarm to keep DoTs pretty much everywhere for Skoria.
So far, even just leveling and without a Skoria setup, it's pretty tough to take down...probably more tweaking to do, but I think it's outside the norm.

I've been addicted to tanky, brawly light armor builds. I don't understand why this isn't the meta.

What's your DoTs? You get... Artic Wind (har har) Shards... And... Um.... Yeah
Swarm no proc Skoria (but maybe a direct damage proc... Shhh)

I have something similar in my imperial warden. 5 plague (s/b neck 2 body), 5 bone pirate (all body) 3 agility (rings and 2h).
Back bar is tanky with bone shield and trellis for the stam builds and then a bursty front bar. I've considered swapping plague for duroks bane for the defile but I'm not sure.

Really? Swarm shows up as DoT damage...looks to be getting buffed by Thaumaturge? If it won't proc Skoria, then yeah I'll need another monster set. Still building and not max level yet, so if I'm wrong here I'll need to change something.

Yeah, all the reports say it's bugged, I wouldn't be surprised it will work when they also fix budding seeds

First two fights I'm running a tanky light armor build, and in the Bruma clips I'm running a 2 handed light armor tanky build.

My friend created the build and posted a video for all to see.

Created the build? Cmon. XD
Seeing as everyone on this game gets salty when someone claims they thought of a build I thought I'd join in and fuel the fire.

I'm very curious: what add on are you using to see the timer on your skills? thanks
I just hit things real hard with a 2h.
Whoever has over 20k HP is a coward by the way.

Can't take credit for this build, this is one of legendary gamings builds but it's a solid setup of shacklebreaker and bone pirates 2H/bow on a stam sorc. I throw on one piece bloodspawn or swarm mothers for extra regen. No procs or cheese in sight. When you bring someone down they got nothing to complain about.
