Aptrgangr – HealthDK PvE Tank (Wrathstone)

Armor Types

Gear and Item Set Info

5 Pieces Torug's Pact (Crafted set)

5 Pieces Ebon Armory (Dungeon set - Crypt of Hearts I & II)

1 Piece Lord Warden (Monster set - Imperial City Prison vet & Urgarlag Chief-bane's chest)

I choosed to use Torug's Pact on Sword, Shield, Staff, Belt, Hands and Shoes. This allow me to adapt my weapon depending on the situation.

I carry some extra pieces as well to adapt to the encounter.

• Plague Doctor (Overland set - Deshaan) (in replacement of Ebon Armory) for when I need that extra boost to HP and I'm too far away from the group (Aetherian Archives axes for example)
• Armor of the Seducer (Crafted set) (in replacement of Torug's Pact) for when I want a ton of magicka sustain, to provide a maximum of CC and group utility. It really speeds up dungeon runs, and can be useful in Blackrose Prison to help stacking the mob with Unrelenting Grip.
• Bloodspawn (Monster set - Spindleclutch II vet & Maj al-Ragath's chest) For when I need to be tankier, or provide more uptime on Warhorn.
• 1 Piece Chokethorn (Monster set - Elden Hollow I vet & Maj al-Ragath's chest) and 1 piece Shadowrend (Monster set - Banished Cells I vet & Maj al-Ragath's chest) For when I want more Magicka Recovery (easier fight) to provide more group utility and crowd control.
• I have two full set of jewelry, one with Magicka Recovery glyphs, and another with Shield Play glyphs. If the fight is easy I switch to full Magicka Recovery to provide more group utility, and the more block intensive it is, the more Shield Play jewelry I use.

Questing gear

For solo questing purpose, I use the following sets to deal proc-based damage :

• Grothdarr
• Embershield
• Sunderflame

Traits doesn't matter, ideally it would be infused with stamina enchants, and on weapon I use a fire enchant for the fun.

This allow me to deal enough damage without doing a respec. I use only a single bar and heavy attacks.

Pierce Armor, Engulfing Flames, Deep Breath, Unrelenting Grip, Resolving Vigor, Magma Shell

Skills

Flex slots and utility skills :

• Shield Discipline / Magma Shell / Replenishing Barrier (for more Magicka Recovery, my personnal choice for easier content)
• Deep Breath / Efficient Purge / Elusive Mist / Crushin Shock (ranged interrupt)
• Choking Talons / Energy Orb / Engulfing Flames
• Unrelenting Grip / Shielded Assault (for when you need a gap closer, like in Cradle of Shadows)

Races

Nord > Argonian > Imperial > Any other races

I'm playing as a Nord because of the extra resistance and ultigen. This allow me to have my resists capped without investing CP in it.
