Sorcerer Tank

---

A pure Sorcerer tank build optimized for dungeon trifectas. It’s meant to be used alongside the healer setup (Ozezan/SPC/PA and pure Arcanist or Subclassed). Class Mastery brought some decent buffs to pure sorc and makes it reasonable to use in dungeons if your group already has self Major Resolve. 

Calculated defense brings 6% w/s dmg to the group on casting a Sorcerer ability, assuming the hefty damage shield isn’t broken immediately (it can scale up to 11-12k on tanks). Sphere of Influence is solid too, which offers 225 recovery to everyone.

The setup becomes more compelling with Sorcerer’s tanking toolkit: Major Maim from Vibrant Shroud reduces damage bosses can do. Twilight Matriarch helps fill gaps in healing when encounters dictate sudden movements that bring group members out of HoTs (e.g. Coral Aerie). Storm Atronach w/ Major Berserk becomes an option alsoif you already have the right bonuses in group too and shift the ults/gear around appropriately.
