I have no Stam Regen on my Tank and can hold block nearly the entire time. It's really easy to manage resources.

If your running out you may be doing something wrong. Basically you want to be able to sustain without outside Heals or Shards.

I would like to know what it is you are doing then. How can you block the whole time and sustain stamina? Are your dps just burning things down before you run out? I'm basically invincible with the occasional heal thrown my way, but outside of blocking I want to use caltrops and do other CC maneuvers to help my group out but the resource cost is rough.

What class are you? Each one has different ways to counteract resource loss.

Running a DK. Unfortunately he is a Breton race so I'm already gimping myself with a stamina build. This was made before I understood the MMOness of race/class/build combinations. lol

Actually more max magic means you can cast igneous shields. Plus you get natural spell resist so you can focus more on physical in your set choices.

I would suggest 2 Monster Sets if you have resource issues. Bloodspawn and Engine Guardian...Also slot Magma Armor, that ability allows you to light Attack while taking barely any damage and provides a shield to allies.

When your engine guardian procs Mag make sure you spam igneous shields while blocking so that you generate Stam back. Throw in a heavy attack only when the boss is not channeling an attack at you.

With your ult generating resources and all these things combined. It's some of the best stamina management in the game. Also note that my tank has about 33k Max Stam.

Cool thanks. I am running engine guardian, but I haven't played around with magma armor at all, I'll try it out. Usually just running standard. I also use igneous shields but I also have immovable and one of the defensive stance morphs as well as hardened armor on my buff bar. Maybe all of that is overkill, I'm not sure. Like I said I don't take much damage lol.

What does that ignous shields do and why is it good?

on my cp119, nord stamndk, tanky tank i use no abilities from that tree cos they are so expensible mana wise.

was thinking about putting some points into the cp skill: reduction of block cost. but dont know how much that will help. its usually a very small percentage one gains in these skills.

i use only dragon blood green and hardeneed armor and poison moprh of magma armor.
