Hi. I,ve been using tava build for my stamina dk tank. Now that with new patch I cannot use shuffle anymore so what is the best gear choise outside Tava? I have Ebon and Tava atm.

If you want Shuffle, then make Hist Bark. I use it on my tank.

They want shuffle for tavas, which you cannot use with histbark

My base set up that I use is Ebon+Torugs. Works really well, gets you really high up time on both Crusher and Weakening.

I'm wearing:

Imperium (drops in WGT dungeon) for the group damage shield 22k -- helps PUG groups a LOT

plus

Akavari Dragonguard - for the reduced ultimate cost --- I usually slot Standard of Might & Barrier (16k shield is another PUG saver)

Monster helm - Iceheart (another damage shield) but I may swap into Bloodspawn for the more ulti regen.

This build is very PUG friendly -- as the group damage shields really save people.

With a dedicated group/ Discord/ etc.. I would run something else, but for a PUG. it works well.

Good set for Heal-Tanking paired with Barrier ultimate. Good choice.

I just ran a near perfect Vet Ruins of Mazzatun with this build!

Under 30 minutes and only one death...

Looking for the no death run and HM run.... Amber Plasm skin!!!!

Brands of Imperium (armor)

Akavari Dragonguard (jewelry and weapon/shield)

Bloodspawn (monster helm set)

Warhorn and Barrier Ultimates

Lots of Igneous and Bone Wall shields.

I swapped from Tava's to Torug's Pact. No complaints so far.

Ive changed it to Willow's path just for the recovery bonuses. So now I run Ebon and Willow's. Its actually worked pretty well but might still want to try other sets. All I did with the skills was that I got rid off shuffle and I'm using Talons on that slot now.

Stats as Imperial are:

Health: 29,3k
Mag: 15k
Stam: 32k

Health reg: 503
Mag reg: 1114
Stam reg: 1882

I'm a stage 3 vampire also.

Why would you have 1.8k stam recovery and only 1.1 mag recovery.....?

Try shacklebreaker. It really helps with sustain on a tripot.

I agree as I tested it a little more last night on harder content and I've tried to balance it a little bit. I changed all of my jewelry glyphs to mag from stam. I figured out that I really dont need that much stam reg coz of the heavy attack and skills that give me back stam.

Just curious why nobody mentioned the Footman Set in addition to Ebon.
I like the damage reduction for blocking on the front bar, and its easy to get (besides the shield)...

I wonder how you're going to manage to wear 2 crafted sets...

Anyways, Tava's tanks were pretty lame anyway. Alkosh + Torug on main tank and Alkosh + Ebon on off tank all the way.

Absolutely right but atm I dont have access to alkosh. Altough Tava was fun with shuffle, you had basically ulti on all the time.
