Pvp tank build help

So I've always wanted to make a pvp tank that can tank zergs and etc just to annoy people lol and to have fun, I've made a couple builds and tested them but they never performed like I hoped, so I was wondering if anyone has any ideas or builds that would work. And the builds I tested just to see how they would do is stacking mitigation sets which actually worked but of course I have no resources really so even if I took 90% reduced damage I coudn't heal myself through it.

    I tried reactive, wizard and bone pirate, but do you think impreg would be better to substitute wizard?

    on which class do you want to tank?
    sets sometimes really depend on the class. a blazing shield templar would probably go for desert rose plus plague doctor. meanwhile impreg works better on classes which rely on block (dks for example), since they can go for the trait sturdy. so maybe you should state what class and what kind of tank you want to be.

    Dk or magplar it woudn't matter which one, that's what I'm currently trying testing sets on.

    for templars, there are two types of tanks: blazing shield tanks with desert rose and plague doctor spamming sun shield (blazing shield morph), meanwhile there are the blockcasting breath of life tanks too with reactive, impregnable armor and lots of sturdy traits. earkier they added malubeth to their sets to even get higher healings.

    Too bad "Blazing Shieldplar´s" isn´t what they used to be :(

    Standard roles (tank,dd,heal) don't exist in PvP. Exist only active and passive role and our tolerant society will understand if you would to choose passive role.

    I mean I have all those sets so I guess I can throw them on and test them, and yeah I thought blazing shield wasn't good anymore because of the nerf. Also another thing I think I'm struggling the most on is how to adjust my resources like if I run desert rose should I put majority of my attributes into stam for blocking? Or half and half into mag and stam or split in it all between health, mag and stam.

    Get the Blessed set. It is absolutely amazing for tanking in PvP.

    Blessed is kind of only good with duels or possibly 1v2's it woudn't work on zergs because the set only works on one person.
