Magika based PvE Tank

Replies: 5

Hello guys, today i try to write my 1st guide.
I hope that will usefull for you^^.
Im not edit master and that guide will look like wall of text i think, but maybe i try insert some images.

Well, lets begin.

Race:
I prefer Dunmer(6% max stamina and 9% max magica, also 7% more fire dmg).
Also Redguard is nice(10% max stamina 9%stamina regen and 680stam return every 3sec)
Вut actually u can play any race u want, champion system eliminates weakness and make all races playable.

Skills and passives:
Race passives ofc.
All armor passive except prodigy(light armor) and agility(medium armor).
Also all class passives, 1h/shield passives.
Fighter’s guild all passives exept bounty hunter(that need only for pvp, but i dnt know how that work cos never use^^)
Mage’s guild all passives.
Undaunted also all passives.
Alchemy – medicinal use. stamina regen now useless in block and u need stam pots. that passive increase effectiveness of potions

My skill bars:

 1st bar

1 – Pierce Armor( puncture morph) close range taunt also reduce target armor and spell resist.
2 – heroic slash(Low slash morph) reduse target damage and gain us few ultimate points
3 – defensive posture i dnt morph that skill and never use, just have that at main bar for reduse block cost
4 – igneous shield(obsidian shield morph) our most usefull skill help us manage ur magica to stamina by Helping hand passive(restore 5% of our max stamina) for each use, also give damage shield and 25% increased heal for you.
5 – volatite armor(spiked armor morph) increase armor and spell resist and return some dmg to melee atakers.
Ulty so there u can use whatever u want: meteor,shtandart,warhorn,magma shell,barier. depends on the situation and your preferences).

Second bar

1 – inner fire(i also dnt morph that skill) that our range taunt.
2 – eruption(ash cloud morph) dnt know how call that) just use that as aoe dot.
3 – unrelenting grip(fierly grip morpf) use that for gather mobs at 1 place. That rly helpfull skill, u can enemies gather in one place and dd kill them with aoe spells.
Why i choose that morph? I use that cos if i try catch imune mob i dnt waste mana.
4 – caltrops(u can choose any morph, but i dnt morph^^) use that for focus agro at me(aoe taunt) and also that nice dot
5 – talons(better use choking, but i use burning) use for immobilise mobs and deal some aoe damage.
But if your healer is lazy slacker use vigor(heal from pvp skill line) instead talons and change eruption for cuagolating blood
Ulty also siruation (=

uuff it is tedious, but keep on.

Armor sets, stats and atributes with champion points:

i use footman for increase block mitigation adn seducer for mana regen and reduce mana cost of spells(that important cos u will spend many many mana for span igneus shield).
U can use armor guardian or scourge harvester.
If u have no monster sets gust use 2 torught pact for bust your dmg or use 2 magnus or some same)
most important – dnt forget about undaunted passives and use 5 heavy 1 medium and 1 light

All armor enchanment – magica, all jewelery – reduse cost of blocking.
Food – blue for mana ang health.
Mundus – atronach(mana regen is best bonus for us)
Champion points i put so as to reduse cost of blocking and take shield expert(yellow shield with defending will give u a lot of armor)
Also i try increase mana regen and dot damage. And try reduce mana cost.

As finish lts talk about battle tactics)
U should begin 1st, drop caltrops and eruption, then use talons.
Taunt big mobs in trash packs and pull other mobs to you(use unrelenting grip).
At boss fight taunt boss and adds(u can tank many adds cos u have range taunt and a lot of stamina and mana for manage that in to stamina)
And depending of encounters change skills for better at that moment(i mean before fighting star ofcourse).
And all time have even regular stamina potions that will help u a lot
