Hey all

This is my Magicka DK Tank build for endgame lvl dungeons. I've never done any trials so I can't tell you how it would do in Trials. Dungeons should be easily Tankable with this build though. From Normal Spindleclutch all the way to Vet White Gold Tower. The Build is easy to come by since it doesnt require any monsterset pieces or rare drop set pieces. All pieces can be either crafted or bought. You do however need at least vr13 lvl but since it's an endgame lvl build that should'nt be a problem. So let's get started :)


Front Bar 1H+S (Main Tanking):
Pierce Armor - Melee taunt and Resistance Debuff
Heroic Slash - Reduces enemy damage and movement but I mainly use it to enhance Ultimate regen
Choking talons - CC, Reduces enemy damage
Unrelenting Grip - For the ones that slip through your bufferzone
Defensive Posture - You can go with either morphs. I only use it for the slotted bonus
Ult Shooting Star - Massive AoE damage, DoT, Massive Ult regen, +Max magicka & Magicka Recovery

Back Bar 1H+S (Utilities/DPS):
Inner Fire - Ranged taunt (if not needed slot Lava Whip for added group DPS)
Deep Breath - Great Selfheal, Stuns all charging enemies in radius
Volatile Armor - Resistance buff, minor DoT
Ash Cloud - Snares enemies, DoT, choose which morph suits your playstyle best
Burning Embers - Major DoT, Selfheal
Ult Standard of Might - Enemy healing debuff, Damage received Debuff, Damage dealth Buff, Major DoT


Gear:
5 Footman:
1x Neck (Healthy, Shield Play Enchant)
2x Ring ( Robust, Reduce Magicka Cost Enchant)
1x Shoulders (Divines, Heavy, Stamina Enchant)
1x Hand (Divines, Heavy, Stamina Enchant)

5 Hist Bark:
1x Chest (Infused, Heavy, Health Enchant)
1x Legs (Infused, Heavy, Health Enchant)
1x Head (Infused, Heavy, Stamina Enchant)
1x Sword (Defending, Hardening Enchant) I have no glyph on the backbar sword since I only do light/heavy attacks on my front bar due to more tankiness and it seemed like a waste to put a gold v16 glyph on something i hardly ever use.
1x Shield (Infused, Stamina Enchant)

2 Death's Wind
1x Feet (Divines, Medium, Stamina Enchant)
1x Waist (Divines, Light, Stamina Enchant)


Mundus Stone:
Currently The Mage (max magicka) but you can swap it out if u need some other boon to fit your playstyle.


Resource Management:
Potions enemies drop in normal situations
Ultimates
Tri-Pots (crafted Health, Magicka, Stamina potions) in boss battles


--How I play--
Mobs:
Ash Cloud (Eruption) with the 2 enemies most up front in radius while charging into the mobb >> Pierce armor both >> Heroic Slash >> Choking Talons >> Deep Breath >> Volatile Armor >> Pierce Armor rest of the mobb >> Choking Talons >> chain enemies in >> Choking Talons >> Pierce Armor >> Burning Embers

Bosses:
Eruption >> Pierce Armor >> Heroic Slash >> Volatile Armor >> Burning Embers >> Lava Whip (Molten Whip)


Tips :
- When doing vet dungeons I usually switch Shooting Star for Dawnbreaker of Smithing due to heavy undead/daedric activity. Low cost and MASSIVE Damage
- When in low-adds situations swap out Deep Breath for Coagulating Blood
- This is NOT a perma-block build. Plz don't just sit there holding the block button (which is poor tanking IMO anyway) you'll drain your stamina that way and lose all effectiveness as a tank. Block only in thick mobs (Hist Bark really shows its worth here) and when facing high damage dealing and immobilizing abilities. Your selfheal capabilities and healer support should cover all other situations.
- If you don't need the snare or just don't want to use it. I'd suggest swapping Ash Cloud out for Igneous Shield for a small shield for your whole team and increased selfhealing

Well this is pretty much what I run with these days. I hope this was helpful. If I forgot something or you have any questions about the build lemme know ;)
