Three skills I'm needing some assistance with:

1. Major resolve/ward. I have 3 sources I can get this from, each with additional effects:

-hardened armor: gives about a 5k damage shield for 2.5 seconds.

-balance: costs health, restores stamina, kills my own healing for 4 seconds, but also gives 2% max magicka/recovery and empower on my next attack. Also lasts 24 seconds instead of armor's 20.

-unstoppable: 5 seconds of knockdown/cc immunity on use, extra duration.

Which if these would work best?


2. Igneous weapons vs molten armaments. Molten gives 40% more heavy attack damage but on a tank I don't heavy attack all that often and when I do the damage is negligible anyways. Igneous provides both major sorcery and brutality to my group, but how useful is that when most dps already have a source for it anyway?


3. Engulfing flames vs noxious breath. My dk is primarily magicka based, so I would get less personal effect out of noxious, but it is a source of aoe major fracture. It would help more on trash than on bosses where I use pierce armor. Engulfing flames is a 10% fire damage boost to the targets for the whole group though.

    The only reason to use Engulfing Flames as a tank is if there is not another DK already running it. It is used for the buff to fire damage. Of course, probably need some decent fire damage from the group to make it worthwhile.

    I don't expect the typical vet pledge pug member to be chugging power potions the while run. In trials sure, but I still like to have the option for group support.
