When setting up an optimised Dungeon build for Tanking you basically have multiple gear set options where all of them are pretty similar in how they perform regardless of what benefits they provide to your group. Just pick whichever sets you want from the list below based on your individual group. Make sure the sets to choose don’t conflict with the other members of your group.

1. Turning Tide – Amazing set, gives you a very high Major Vulnerability uptime which is available for every add pull and a 66% uptime on bosses.
2. Vestment of Olorime – Great damage buff set but only use this when you don’t have a Healer.
3. Powerful Assault – Secondary to Olorime for its damage buff, good set but requires a lot of micro-management.
4. Claw of Yolnhakriin – The staple Tank set for everything, works good in this situation too, easy to use.
5. Pearlescent Ward – Great for progression or pick up groups where you provide a DPS buff but get damage reduction if people die allowing you to survive and potentially save your group.
6. Drake’s Rush – Mostly useful for organised groups and provides a higher DPS % than Yolnahkriin but only if everyone uses Ultimate’s on cooldown.
7. Crimson Oath’s Rive – Good in groups with DDs using Medium Armor as they will need more penetration, also good for beginners who might forget to apply Crusher to bosses.
8. Pangrit Denmother – This is the same as Yolnhakriin but it’s easier to obtain. Only useful for 4-person groups.
9. Saxhleel Champion – If you are a Necromancer Tank then this can be good, can be used as a defensive set on any class for safety with Barriers.
10. War Machine – Not useful in general but if your group has very high DPS and can burn bosses then it can be good for burst DPS, only use on boss fights.

Next you have a choice of Monster Set depending on your group situation.

1. Archdruid Devyric – This provides an easy 100% uptime of Major Vuln when used with Turning Tide.
2. Nazaray – Very good only when combined with Turning Tide & Frost Clench for huge uptimes when timed accurately.
3. Tremorscale – A useful option for groups using Medium Armor as they will likely be under the pen cap.
4. Magma Incarnate – If you are not using Yolnahkriin and don’t have the Spaulder then this is the next best thing.
5. Symphony of Blades – If you have no Healer then you might consider using this to help your groups sustain but you’ll also need an AoE healing skill.
6. Engine Guardian – Generally monster sets provide the least group benefit so if you need self-sustain then use this.

All of the main gear options for this build can be used on just 1 bar so you have the option of using a weapon set.

1. Puncturing Remedy – Master’s 1 Hand and Shield, great for boss fights.
2. Void Bash – Vateshran 1 Hand and Shield, this is basically best in slot for all classes for add pulls.

Mythic Items can sometimes fit into a build also and these are the best options.

1. Spaulder of Ruin & 1 piece Magma Incarnate – This is better than all monster sets.
