My one-bar, Ice staff tank, which to me makes tanking more interesting and laid back, as I have enough double bar switching on my heal and DDs.
Build:
- Deep Fissure: Warden is uniquely suited for the one-bar, Ice staff tanking style as this ability provides both Minor and Major Breach
- Unstable Wall: tiny chance at Minor Brittle + Minor Maim, and more importantly party shield vs. projectiles
- Inner Rage: taunt
- Polar Wind: strong self-heal
- Blue Betty: Magicka regen + trigger for Crimson Oath
Rotation(if there is such a thing for a tank):
- Deep Fissure to keep both Minor and Major Breach active
- Blue Betty every time Crimson Oath's set CD is back up
- Blocking every time Turning Tide's set CD is back up
- → for the rest usual tank stuff of tanking, self-healing etc.
Side notes:
- I've opted for Lord Warden for the additional armor, but it can be swapped out for any other desirable 1-piece bonus
- I'm currently using Srendarr to track both set CDs, as that makes it far more pleasant to play without having to constantly block or spam Blue Betty to get the max. uptime on both sets
As for the screenshot:
- That's my OG Warden being Khajiit, with the current iteration of being a tank, and I really can't be bothered to switch to a better tanking race
