An SRS PvP Tank
Bashing in the Snow
by derfloh93
Introduction:
This build is for those who usually hate PVP, and/or do not like pressing many buttons. Use it to make others hate PVP, make them regret their choices in life, or just to have fun.
I never really liked PVP, but with this build, I was able to just enter the Imperial City or Cyrodiil and have fun. Gankers aren't that much of a threat anymore, and you can fight epic 10-minute battles with other tanky players. This build does enough damage to be a threat against normal DPS builds and more damage than "real" tanks.
If you want to do easier dungeons with this as a tank, or solo harder world bosses, go for it. This one does it all (Not fast, but it's fun and good for People who hate pressing many keys).
Enough of the preamble, lets get to the interesting part.
