Is there any of big sharing damage shield effect tank gear?

What kind of set can do that?

LunaFlora · April 24

maybe Brands of Imperium?
https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Brands_of_Imperium

2 items: Adds 28-1206 Maximum Health
3 items: Adds 28-1206 Maximum Health
4 items: Adds 4% Healing Taken
5 items: When you take damage, you grant you and your group members within 8 meters a damage shield that absorbs 261-11260 damage for 6 seconds. This effect can occur once every 12 seconds.

There's a list here:

https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Category:Online-Sets_with_Damage_Shield

Note that some of those are healer sets that proc shields on the healed target (eg Combat Physician), some are personal (eg Crusader), and some apply to group members (eg the aforementioned Brands of Imperium, Lunar Bastion).

Should end-game quality tank equip this set or not?

No. The only defensive set endgame tanks might wear is pearlescent ward. Buffing damage is too important to drop a buff set with a defensive set. If you’re in a situation where everyone keeps dying then you could pearlescent ward, necro res, or baron zandrus + ele sus + barrier/arc shield ult/dk shield ult. But I wouldn’t do it by default.

Vrol's Command is another

(2 items) Adds 1096 Maximum Stamina
(3 items) Gain Minor Aegis at all times, reducing your damage taken from Dungeon, Trial, and Arena Monsters by 5%.
(4 items) Adds 1206 Maximum Health
(5 items) After completing a fully-charged Heavy Attack, apply Major Aegis to you and up to 11 nearby group members for 12 seconds, reducing damage taken from Dungeon, Trial, and Arena enemies by 10%. This effect can occur once every 21 seconds.

But like others have said, sets like this are not endgame group sets. More like beginner tank sets or sets to use with low level groups for group survivability

"baron zandrus + ele sus + barrier/arc shield ult/dk shield ult."

I've seen lots of almost zero damage DPS and too much squashy DPS so far.

So...

I can understand why you recommend those set, but those type of gear usually
decrease toughness of the tank. I've never seen better healer player than me so far.
So I can't believe other healer players mostly. (Not just gear, but playing technique
of most PUG healer players are terrible.)

Currently I equip Dolorous Arena Set with Leaching and Mighty Chudan now.
Replacing Dolrous with Pearlescent is really effective to maintain both toughness and
damage buff? (Because, it depend on group member amount whether how many players
survive or not.)

Baron is a monster set. The buff from Mighty Chudan you should get from a class major resolve skill. Pearlescent helps with ressing whilst the baron + ele sus + defensive ult situation would help with people before they die. I really wouldn't suggest going full defensive like you are though because not supplying buffs makes the fight go even longer, causing even more deaths. You will live fine without defensive sets, I only suggest leeching for new tanks who want some support while learning how to tank.

My suggestion to start would be baron (for ult gen) + pearlescent (for help recovering a fight) + turning tide (major vulnerability is a huge damage boost) + a class source of major resolve (to replace chudan) + dragonstar arena sword and board (more defense and healing).

OK, looks like it's worth to test in dangerous group combat field.

Recently I got "Perfected Puncturing Remedy Set", so I'll try this.

AvalonRanger · April 25

Tested in the normal DLC trial and dragon fighting.

Monster head: baron
Armor 5 piece: pearlescent
First Bar weapon and jewelry: Perfected Puncturing Remedy + turning tide jewelry
Second Bar Weapon and jewelry: turning tide + tide ice staff

Not so squashy rather than I thought. But still haven't done the test in dangerous Vet dungeon.

you can try use this skill with bracing anchor CP and don't need give up 5 item meta tank gear

Good idea! But I can't do this.
Tank resource pool is pretty small compared with DPS or Healer.
I want to use resource for self surviving. Because, tank should be "die hard".

I want powerful sharing shield without consuming my resource.

I tested this in Vet Naj-Caldeesh. Become a tiny little bit squashy from previous my build,
But still tough enough. More over my team got bit better damage than before.
