I need ideas for a Magplar tank

Zenatheia · November 2017

I have spent about 800 hours on a Dark Elf magplar tank and she's been working pretty decently through mostly solo PvE. I am CP300 now and I want to make her more effective. I would love some ideas and brainstorms for gear sets, enchants, etc.

I currently have Seducer with Julianos 1H&S front bar, Julianos destro on back bar. Willpower jewelry. I wear 5H and 2L.

How should I combine tanking and magicka recovery?

I know she is not optimized at all but I have a ton of titles on her. I want to make her more viable and durable.

(Sidenote: I have a bunch of DK tanks that aren't as high level but will be used for trial purposes and other end game content).

Any thoughts?

I have a Breton Magplar tank.
40 mag and 24 hp. (I think)

Akivir dragongaurd, Spectre's eye (yeah that set), Shadowrend (the minor maim on this is good)

Tri enchant on Infused large pieces. Study, health enchanted, small pieces . Infused (crushing and weakening) swords and Nirnhorned shields. Block cost reduction on the jewerely.

Bar 1. Structured entropy, Radiant ward, Pierce armor, Extended ritual, Repentance, Agressive Warhorn
Bar 2. Reflective light, Channeled focus, Inner fire, volanic rune, Breath of life, Empowering sweep

I have plenty of ultility and a ton of magicka regen. I only really need to block the big hits, otherwise I can heal and shield through a lot.

I chose spectres eye because I wanted extra physical resistance since breton has mag resistance, the 5pc bonus is short lived but actually not that bad with all the spells I am casting. Perhaps you might want to use Kraganacs hope which is popular in these kinds of builds for that rapid rezzing. I did use that set in PVP when I went to grab warhorn. Or try out the Desert rose or Black rose for more sustain.

Hmm I don't have any recent screen shots. But I have, 35K hp, 27k mag and 15k stam (With tri food but I don't have undaunted yet), 32K resistances with channeled focus up. I think 1200 mag reg.

i have a stamplar tank and a blazplar tank, just not a magplar one yet.

i wonder if a magplar tank with a bit of aoe healing and the Mending (Healing Mage) set would work.
would the ~400 weapon damage debuff together with Minor Maim (from heroic slash) help significantly, or would it be better to just go for more damage (warhorn, spc, master architect)?
