Hello everyone! Welcome to my PVE NB Stamina Tank build!
I have spent a lot of time testing this build out and trying to make it best there can be.
If you have any ideas or suggestions regarding to the build please feel free to share them.
I can be contacted in game in the EU PC megaserver under account @infrapuna
BUILD OBJECTIVES:
- Being able to tank all content currently in game and in updates to come.
- Maximise potential of gear, skills, food and attribute points.
ADVANTAGES:
- “Infinite” Resource pool.
- Very fast ultimate (r)generation.
- Change to Dodge attacks without use of armor sets such as Hist Bark.
DISADVANTAGES:
- Low or non aoe dmg.
- Gear depented
- Needs constant potion ussage.
Now to the build itself!
ATTRIBUTE POINTS:
I aim for 28k+ HP and 20k+ STAMINA. I spent around 30 points into HP and rest to STAMINA.
These stats are with just food buff. No pvp buffs.
RACE:
Any race will do but Imperial is best if you have the option. HP buff of Imperial helps you reach HP limit easly.
- Best race: Imperial
- Good race: Bosmer, Redguard, Dunmer
- Meh race: Khajiit, Nord
Don’t worry if you don’t have any of the races listed above, they are only the more ideal once. This build can be executed with ANY race.
MUNDUS STONE:
- The Lord, This will help you reach the HP limit.
- The Attronach, This could be an interesting choice if you are an imperial, to provide more utility.
- The Tower, If you are having STAMINA issues this could help.
CHAMPION POINTS:
Mage:
- Ritual: Mighty (20): Increase your physical dmg by [x]%
- Ritual: Precise (10): Increase your armor penetration by [x]%
- Apperentice: Blessed (Rest): Increase the effectivenes of any healing you inisiate by [x]%
We go for the ritual for the handy 12% crit passive. And for blessed in other hand, we go for because stamina based NB’s lack good self healing i have desited to get the most out of the little we have.
Thief:
- Lady: Mooncalf (30): Increase your STAMINA recovery by [x]%
- Tower: Warlord (Rest): Reduce the STAMINA cost of your abilities by [x]%
We go for the Lady for the synergizer passive. And STAMINA cost reduction is always helpfull.
Warrior:
- Steed: Spell Shield (10): Increase your spell resistance by [x]%
- Steed: Block Expertise (Rest): Reduce block cost by [x]%
We go for only steed because it offers the best passives for tanks.
All Champion Points can be changed how ever you want. Or you can add more stuff if you have the CP for it.
SKILLS:
Weapon Swap #1 1H and Shield Weapon Swap #2 2H
Pierce Armor: Inner Rage:
Our main taunt and a good debuff. Our Ranged/MAGICKA taunt.
Heroic Slash: Surprise Attack:
A good debuff and ultimate generation. I use this to proc Shadow passive.
Defensive Stance: Mirage:
We slot it for the reduced Blocking cost. Another ability that makes NB tanks good,
the dodge chance is so good
Flex: Rally:
Okay here is a couple of options to slot: Our little self heal, keep active 100% of time.
I ussualy run Structured Entropy for the passive.
You could also run Swalow Soul for the passive.
You could slot AOE here.
Siphoning Attacks: Siphoning Attacks:
This ability is the Bread and Butter of NB tanks, Slotted on both bars so don’t need to reactivate.
it provides us with “Infinite” resources.
[ULT] Veil of Blades: [ULT] Warhorn (Any morph):
The dmg reduction is awesome. A SUPER good group buff.
Also gives you more hp beacause of NB passives. I pop this in boss fights.
GEAR:
We wear 5 Heavy armor for the block cost reduction. Our armor also has 2 MAGICKA, 3 HP, 3 STAMINA, enchants.
Footman is a pretty obivous choice for any tank build. But in the other hand i wear Arena for the tri-stat increase. I also find myself CC:ed a lot so the 5 piece helps too.
I go for Infused because i want to maxsimise my resources.
FOOD:
I use blue v10 STAMINA + HP food.
ROTATION:
Before fight i activate all of my buffs, including warhorn if going to boss battle.
I start fights with running to boss and taunting (Pierce Armor). After that i use my debuff (Heroic Slash). After that i activate my little HOT (Structured Entropy). After that i either light or heavy attack to regain resources. After that i swap to my “buff” bar and buff up (Rally, Mirage, Surprise attack). Depending on bosses around this time add spawn comes and i taunt the adds and debuff them (Pierce Armor, Heroic Slash).
REMEMBER: Taunt boss every 10 seconds!
Closing Notes:
