unbreakable ice: This build is incredibly tanky, but still capable of putting out damage with the base penetration sitting at 9.5k and buffed spell damage at 5375. The high crit resist might seem overkill but i've come across some hard hitting crit builds and switching running rallying cry back bar, crit resist CP, and all impen negates 70% crit damage. 70% crit damage mitigation on top of 40k+ armor truly makes this build fit the name. Monster sets are personal, I switch between bloodspawn and balorgh depending on how PvP is going. An interesting set up to try would be 1 piece baron thirk and 1 piece magma for 258 mag and stam recovery, allowing you to run different jewlrey glyphs. The 20% cost increase aetherial gives to break free, sprint, and block can be mitigated using the CP system and armor bonuses. I was running heavy armor but i switched to 4 medium, 3 light and I like it more. In BGs I hardly run into situations where i've run out of stamina, but i do heavy attack more often while on my back bar. Skills are personal, I switched to aedric spear for the balanced warrior passive, giving you 6% increase in armor and spell damage. Crystallized shield is the only skill you have to run, there are so many builds running spec bow and the only true counter is that skill
write-up coming soon for other builds
