So I logged in just for this

Damage migration stars to slot

Unassailable
Duelist Rebuff
Enduring Resolve

Others
Bulwark - restinces
Reinforced - bubble shield
Last stand - ultimate gain
Riposte - dps for self for overworld or bad dps groups

@Starlight_Whisper

That’s the exact 3 I referred to. And look at my post more carefully.

There is definitely stuff for tanking. But the slottable stuff is only the three, and those amount to 10% general mit and another 10 for dots.

In due time every DD will fill in the other trees. Me making CHOICES in the slottable to distinguish myself for the tank role is extremely scarce.

Nope you are wrong, everything I listed is sloteable. Maybe was different last patch, but I went on pts to check this today

Looked closer, and yes they are, but I had discounted them because they are all either not a help in tanking or so terrible they aren’t worth a slot.

As is, I would take the top three you named then slot the extra Stam or mag resources.

I’m not going to go through each you listed to tell why each one is beneath consideration. I stand by my original assessment. There is not enough slottable choices to distinguish me from somebody who is a damage dealer who is grabbing the same non slottable tanks passives as me.

A shield when blocking or extra resistances. Either or can be your four. You are complaining lack of option, but I have you plenty and then you yourself did another with just max resources.

Each of my options had damage reduction or trigger on block. They are things dps won't likely slot in group content as we only get 4 slots. If you want something more then say what you want to see in future because right.now you do have options just not ones I assume you want to see?

It’s ok. I’m giving feed back to them not debating you. [Snip]. And the kicker is that there is no need for you to do so. I am very pleased with CP 2.0. I’m just giving feed back where there is room for improvement. And I’ve done that now.

I’m certainly not going to go through the list and explain things like why a 5k shield every 10 seconds is an absolute joke. Or why 9 seconds of boosted ultimate when I drop to 20% health...omg a delayed help for an oh crap moment. Or why 1k per second damage reflect upon blocking is utterly pointless for serious tanking. But when a 1.4K boost to magicka is in my top FOUR choices for tank boosts, then that itself tells you something.

You can hang your shield up, ZOS can handle some mild feedback.
[Edited for minor bait]

I am simplying disagreeing with you. You aren't seeing the potential, but yeah we can walk away from this

@zvavi nothing you have said has upset me. My frustration was in response to Starlight’s posts. And I apologize for posting before the frustration was entirely past, I ought to have waited a bit longer. And I’ve tried to avoid a lengthy post that would be required to explain my frustration but I would like readers to know that I’m not simply upset that somebody does not agree with me.

I look at CP 2.0 and I am very pleased. And as a tank in particular I am very happy that there are lots of great stuff for tanks in it. However, I can’t help but note that overwhelmingly the things that help me tank are non-slottable. Meaning (in the long run) there will be no choice involved. Everybody will get them in the course of leveling. And I look at the warfare tree in particular, which seems most about distinguishing your role, and I note that the slottables are particularly underwhelming to distinguish me as a tank.

I give that feedback.

The response I get is a long list of things I’m capable of slotting, which I certainly could slot. And some certainly would distinguish me for being the only player foolish enough to choose them. I’m accused of ignoring those because they aren’t what I want as if I’m just throwing a tantrum.

Let’s take one example on the list. Riposte allows me to reflect 5k damage once every five seconds when I block. Her reasoning was that since it procs on block it is a “tank” ability and it proves my feed back wrong. Only the reasoning is flawed. What if when I blocked the proc’ed effect was that my next harvest time was cut in half? Should I be happy for the tank perk? No, because it does nothing to make me a better tank. Me getting a 1k dps boost to my personal damage does nothing to make me a better tank regardless of whether a block procs it.

So I found myself at a choice. I could go through her entire list explaining each one and why it is useless for improving me as a tank, a list that she could effortlessly type but would take me an extensive post to refute...OR I could just say I’m giving ZOS feedback and I’m not worried about convincing her.

I chose the later. 🤷‍♂️

@BejaProphet what about the slotable star for recovery? I would've though recovery would be insanely good for tanks (can't remember exactly so ignore me if I'm wrong)
