Hello everyone ! Welcome to my Stamina Tank build ! The build’s purpose is supporting the team with as many horns as you can cast and keep your sustain due to increased ultimate usage . That is why the build is called ”Horny Tank” . Did you see what I did there ? No ? Ok .
I will post an another build that is much more defensive and sustained for easier gameplay !
If you ask what is different than other Ultimate regeneration builds out there , I am using a good old PvP set which ZOS decided to upgrade to max level .
Anyways , let’s get started !
For those who don’t want to read :
CHANGES :
– Spent 30 points into Arcanist to get the Synergizer passive . ( Points taken from Magician ) ( 30.05.2016 )
PROS :
– Sustain is very good .
– You are tanky enough to tank everything .
– Horn is up most of the time .
– Your DD’s will love you .
– Your Healer will love you .
– Everyone will love you .
– You give Minor Force to 1 person and protect that guy from damage .
CONS :
– You may have some stamina issues in AOE fights if you block everything .
– I said it is tanky enough but it lacks defense compared to tanky builds like Block Master .
– No roots … ( I am still crying )
– No stamina return from potions ( well if you want you can still get it but you will lack some defense )
RACE
Every race will do , just don’t pick Wood Elf . Stamina Recovery is not important . Pick something that increases your Max Stats or Magicka Recovery . My character in live server is a Dark Elf and I am happy with it .
STATS ( All in Stamina )
Max Magicka : 13k
Max Health : 25k
Max Stamina : 33k
FOOD
Max Health + Max Stamina
MUNDUS
Atronach
POTION
Major Resolve + Minor Protection or
any potion that gives Stamina
GEAR
Tava’s Favor : Ultimate regeneration set which favors DK tanks especially . Every time you dodge something ( it doesn’t matter if it is with Shuffle or Roll Dodge ) you gain a buff that gives you 9 Ultimate over 3 seconds .
Chest ( Heavy – Infused ) : Multi-Effect
Feet ( Heavy – Sturdy ) : If you have 25k Health go with Stamina
Pants ( Heavy – Infused ) : Multi-Effect
Gloves ( Medium – Sturdy ) : If you have 25k Health go with Stamina
Belt ( Light – Sturdy ) : If you have 25k Health go with Stamina
Blood Spawn : I never liked this set but if you want to achieve this build’s purpose to the highest , you must wear this . Proc rate is very low though . I tested against Blood Spawn with 1 DD beside me 3 times . All combats lasted around 1:30 . 1st test resulted in 2 procs , 2nd test resulted in no procs and 3rd test gave me only 1 proc . It does give Ultimate but still , proc rate is very low .
Helm ( Heavy – Infused ) : Multi-Effect
Shoulder ( Heavy – Sturdy ) : If you have 25k Health go with Stamina
Agility : Nice set that gives much more Max Stamina with 2 pieces than any other set .
Rings x2 ( Robust ) : Shield-Play
Blessing Of Potentates : Very good PvP set actually but the item traits are kinda bad . It doesn’t matter because it reduces Ultimate cost by 10% ! About Decisive trait , I tested it and I can say that it is pretty underpowered . We generate 250 Ultimate in 40-45 seconds . Decisive needs to proc 25 times to be better than Potentates . So it needs to proc every 2 seconds to be a better choice than Potentates but it doesn’t . I tested it over and over . Potentates is better .
Sword x2 ( Defending ) : Absorb Stamina
Shield x2 ( Impenetrable ) : If you have 25k Health go with Stamina
Necklace ( Healthy ) : Shield-Play
SKILLS
1.Bar : Sword and Shield
1- Ransack : Main Taunt skill . Low cost . I chose this one because there will always be Elemental Drain on the enemy and Healers don’t target tanks to make them get Minor Resist buffs . They target DDs so they can get the 8% damage buff .
2- Heroic Slash : Minor Heroism . Keep this up all the time . Also reduces enemy damage by 15% . Very good to close the gap in defense .
3- Igneous Shield : Another Ultimate regeneration skill . Use it every 6 seconds to get 3 Ultimate from Mountain’s Blessing passive . Also use it when you need stamina .
4- Stalwart Guard : Give Minor Force to some dude and make him take less damage . Stamina users will have their own surely and most Magicka builds don’t use Rearming Trap so you can give this to them ( Overloading Sorcerers for example ) if no DD want it , use it on your Healer for bigger heals .
5- Absorb Magic : Block cost reduction and block mitigation . Also very useful defensive utility against casters .
Ultimate- Aggressive Warhorn : You know what it is . It costs 225 Ultimate now thanks to Potentates .
2.Bar : Sword and Shield
1- Cinder Storm : 70% AOE snare . I probably never drop this . You can use Talons here if you want .
2- Unrelenting Grip : Chain everything .
3- Inner Fire : Ranged taunt .
4- Stalwart Guard : It needs to be in both bars so …
5- Shuffle : Always keep this up . If you don’t , you are killing the build . Be careful while swapping weapons since block drops for a bit of time .
Ultimate- Magma Shell : Emergency escape .
CHAMPION POINTS
RED
100 Hardy , 67 Elemental Defender .
BLUE
100 Blessed , 67 Elfborn
GREEN
100 Warlord , 37 Magician , 30 Arcanist
You probably going to say ” No Shadow Ward ?! ” Yes . No Shadow Ward . You don’t need that . You will be spamming Ultimate and you have 4 Sturdy pieces . Just keep a potion if you need one but I am saying , you won’t need one .
For Inhibitor fight , I use my DD build . You can find it here : http://tamrielfoundry.com/topic/pve-fire-claw-stamina-dk-dps-build-thieves-guild/ It doesn’t require any Maelstrom weapons ( if you have , you can use them without breaking any set bonus ) and it is easy to play and does nice DPS .

If you have any questions , ask right away . I will do my best to answer as quickly as possible . Hope you enjoy playing with this build !
