Well I looked all over and could not find a tank build that I liked for my play style. I actually like using the S&B. I really liked it when Bash was OP and I had high DPS LOL.

But, now that Bash is not powerful. I changed my build to this one. Not sure if there are other posted builds like this one or not. If there are, I haven't looked at them.

Here is a link to the build: Tricks's DK PVE Tank Build

Let me state that this is by no means a min max build and it takes getting used to. And, as soon as my crafter is high enough level, I will respec the attributes into all health and use the runes for Magicka & Stamina. Right now this is working for me with a food buff.

I am able to take on 3 mobs or more without a healer in vet content and public dungeons.

 

I typically run into the mob and hit Burning Talons, Draw Essence, Burning Embers, then Burning Talons again. Ransack a couple times on anything that is left standing. I try to constantly shield block and only use a heavy attack if something gets stunned when it tried to heavy attack me. If it's a boss fight I'll build up my Ultimate first drop it as soon as I run up to the boss.

 

I would change it up a bit if I were playing it for AvA. This build allows me to do decent DPS and self healing but the main purpose is to hold agro, CC, and take a beating without dying. (Like all good tanks should)

Feel free to criticize the build. It won't hurt my feelings, I got my big boy pants on.

Nice build Tricks.  Do you have a couple skills you will swap out for specific situations?  Like use spiked armor or ...immovable??(the heavy armor shielding skill)?

I do switch out skills depending on the situation.

I do find that lately I have been using Immovable much more in Vet content.
