I’ve scrapped the Akaviri Dragonguard build for the next patch and switched to a different gear setup utilizing the Armor Master set. The goal of the build is to be able to absorb as much damage as possible with a combination of a large health pool and Blazing Shield.
Important notes:
– 5 pieces of the Armor Master set
– Using 5 pieces of heavy, 1 light and 1 medium
– The Atronach Mundus stone
– Every attribute point to health
– Health enchant every single one of your gear parts
– Achieve about or over 40000 health points
– Use magicka and stamina drinks
– The Imperial is the best race to pick with this build giving you +12% more health
– Vampirism for the +10% magicka and stamina regeneration it gives and the Mist Form for a shield wall
– Immovable Brute slotted for 5% health and used to gain immunity to knockbacks and disabling effects and the armor and spell resistance bonus the Armor Master set gives you when you use an armor ability

How to play?
Obviously you keep Shuffle and Blazing Shield up all the time. When this is covered things get a bit different from the traditional tanking styles from live. You don’t really block other than the big hits what would otherwise knock you down. And while you are not blocking you are doing heavy attacks thus regenerating your stamina pool.
The first bar is your tanking bar. Not much going on there, you can either use Elusive Mist as a shield wall for the big hits, or just soak them up with Blazing Shield and Immovable Brute combo.
The second bar is your support bar. You should keep Shuffle up from there for the dodge bonus, and you can remove snares and negative effects with Purifying Ritual. Then you can support your allies with Breath of Life healing.
Nirned gear
The way Nirned gear works will be changed. I’m not yet sure on which pieces you should be nirning for the spell resistance, or if any at all. It might be more effective to Reinforce your gear rather than Nirn.
