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 .
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 :
Ultimate Regeneration Test :
Rakkhat Fight :
CHANGES :
-Changes in items and CP .
-Vampire tree added and made some skill changes . (11.07.16)
-Changed some gear , skills and some CP . (24.06.16)
– 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 .
CONS :
– I said it is tanky enough but it lacks defense compared to tanky builds like Block Master .
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 : 17.8k
Max Health : 24.8k
Max Stamina : 31.6k
FOOD
Max Health + Max Stamina + Max Magicka
MUNDUS
Atronach
POTION
Dropped Stamina potions and tri-stat for emergencies .
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 ) : Stamina
Pants ( Heavy – Infused ) : Multi-Effect
Gloves ( Medium – Sturdy ) : Stamina
Belt ( Light – Sturdy ) : 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 ) : Stamina
Agility : Nice set that gives much more Max Stamina with 2 pieces than any other set . This is our main bar .
Sword ( Decisive ) : Crusher
Shield ( Infused ) : Stamina or Multi-Effect
Akaviri Dragonguard : Very nice set for Ultimate reduction . Also gives Magicka Recovery and Healing taken while on main bar .
Sword ( Decisive ) : Absorb Stamina
Shield ( Well-Fitted ) : Stamina or Multi-Effect
Necklace ( Healthy ) : Shield-Play
Rings ( 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- Invigorating Drain : This thing is insane . It heals you and it gives 5 Ultimate per second . Be careful while using it .
5- Absorb Magic : Block cost reduction and block mitigation . Also very useful defensive utility against casters .
Ultimate- Corrosive Armor : You know what it is . We use this only in emergency situations .
2.Bar : Sword and Shield
1- Shuffle : 20% Dodge Chance . A necessity for all tanks . Procs Tava’s Favor .
2- Unrelenting Grip/Resolving Vigor : Chain everything .
3- Inner Fire : Ranged taunt .
4- Choking Talons/Retreating Maneuver : AOE root and AOE Minor Maim . Best tanking utility in the game .
5- Volatile Armor : It gives us Major Resist buffs and 12% more healing taken from passive .
Ultimate- Aggressive Warhorn : 10% stat bonus for 30 seconds and 30% critical damage bonus for 9.5 seconds to whole team .
CHAMPION POINTS
RED
87 Hardy , 80 Elemental Defender , 10 Thick Skinned
BLUE
100 Blessed , 67 Elfborn , 10 Precise Strikes
GREEN
100 Warlord , 30 Arcanist , rest into Magician
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 !
