Penetration
The Instanced (Dungeons, Trials, ...) Penetration maximum for PvE is 18200 everything below is damage loss, anything above waisted, a normal Damage Dealer is at somewhere around 6000+ to 8000+ Penetration so the Tank provides the rest of it.
Below are the Penetration sources for the 11597 Penetration this Tank build provides.
- Major Breach (
Elemental Susceptibility ) - Crusher on Icestaff (Backbar) via
Elemental Blockade
(Truly Superb Glyph of Crushing : Itade, Deteri, Kuta )
Crimson Oath's Rive
Technically, the build also provides up to 1320 more Penetration for the DD via Status Effects from Burning (
Elemental Susceptibility ) and Chilled (multiple sources) if the Damage Dealer slots the Champion Points Star Force of Nature (Warfare).
After All that the Damage Dealer needs to provide 5283 Penetration themselves.
( without Force of Nature 6603 and with (and more Status Effects ), possible even less then 5283 )
Resistance
The Resistance maximum for PvE amounting to 33,000 can be reached in different ways,
below some possible ways for this build.
Default (Used for this build):
- Argonian Racial Skill passive
Resourceful plus Armor Potions
(Essence of Health:
Bugloss,
Mountain Flower,
Mudcrab Chitin ) - Major Resolve (
Expansive Frost Cloak ) - Bulwark (Warfare) or Fortified (Fitness) slotable Champion Points Star
- 1 Armor Line Bonus from
Crimson Oath's Rive (2 on Backbar) - 2 slottet Winter's Embrace Skill Line skills via the
Frozen Armor passive (Frontbar, Backbar only 1)
To allow flexibility in arrangement of Skills and Champion Points Stars you can always adjust with, for example slotting both Bulwark and Fortified and dropping 1 of 2 Winter's Embrace Skill Line skills, for either a different Ultimate or Skill. Or with Torso Reinforced and a Minor Resolve source dropping both Champion Points Stars and an Winter's Embrace Skill Line skill for more Ult and CP choices.
Alternativly
Crimson Oath's Rive played on body Armor and only 1 Winter's Embrace Skill Line skill allows free Ultimate choice, dropping the Armor Potion for a normal tri-stat potion and a different race.
