ok so i need some suggestions or maybe a little help with ice tanking. Hopefully im right so basically ice is a easy power to tank and stuff got like craxy shields and stuff but im a little unsure if im running correct artifacts for it. Im running everyman proto, mystic, and manicles. All maxed out. Are they the correct arts to run anything let say from reg raids to elite? Any suggestions? Thanks
Those are the same artifacts I use. I am able to tank all elite content at 301 cr. Most tank artifacts are 120 ish.
You should be fine with those arts. Some people would possibly swap mystic symbol in there but it will differ depending on who you ask. Are you struggling with it?
Those Artifacts are fine. If you use a SC you could substitute the Everyman for EoG. If you don't use a SC you could substitute the Everyman for the new Lasso artifact that's coming soon.
Ahh ok, im doing fine with them just asking because i saw another ice tank use disfrctor instead everyman... idk if i should get new art tho. Which would i sacrifice for the new art?
I use Manacles for shield bonus, Mystic because the extra defense doesn't hurt and EoG because I use movement mode Shield SC.
I use Manacles, Mystic, and Diluestel. - Everyman Prototype does not suit ice well at all because ice tanks' health does not fluctuate like other tank powers' health bars do. - I use Diluestel because we maximize the potential for the artifact due to our high Dominance stat. - I personally do not like EoG because I feel ice does not ever utilize a supercharge enough for that artifact to be useful.
yes, the third one eog is a must for normal instances(i mean non-elite) while in dps role keep only winter ward shield , sc generator and blizzard in loadout , and put weapon combo into your rotation like doom spin with two handed fills the sc bar fast . spam that blizzard evry 2 minute and for a chance of crit, cast it right after doom spin and keep your trinket to dps and switch it on before hitting the blizzard . now u can cast the blizzzard again when trinket cooldown is finished now coming to actual tanking why eog works swapping 2 good shields(winter ward and hardlight shield) not going to work in elite content and remaining 2 ice shields are not strong for the content. we are stuck with ice which has no source for health regeneration and our dependance on shields makes eog an obvious choice for it to get ourselves another shield which is a supercharge readied in the midst of a battle. Also im new to this game played only for a month ,but it is working for me .
