10 Tips on How to BUILD Your Characters Successfully in ESO (2021)

[@Adam_Lutz]

What tip would you give for players building their characters?

[@01telemaster]

Best tip I could give players leveling new characters would be not to forget provisioning and alchemy for the passive that increase food,drink and potion length

[@TheMrbigturtle]

Best tip I would give is understand what the gear meta is, but don’t be a slave to it. With the broadness of builds now, it’s important to know what options you can have and how to adjust your play style around it.

[@benadamson6193]

How do you get the taunts

[@jordantaylor2418]

Hey man I love your channel I’m trying to build my warden off of the build you posted I’m 160 CP and because of this event I’m kinda stuck I messed up on my attributes and I don’t know where to go to reset them

[@Coercer2010]

Remember when you copy builds from experienced players, they may work for them but not for you. Maybe you lack the gear or you are less efficient with weaving/dodging/blocking. It could be that their group is optimized for the build of each other, especially in speed run trials and such activities. Experiment with the ideas but don't just copy and paste, that most likely will not work, at least from my experience. Find a way to play that fits for you, don't let others dictate how you should play, the game has so many options and fun to offer beside the meta-end-game.

You gotta look cool. if knowing is half the battle then looking cool is the other half.

[@sherlonwo4149]

I like the idea of using any melee weapon while still a magic user.

[@abd-qadirgilani8871]

HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE improvement over Skyrim. Nothing's more frustrating than having to constantly cycle between your stuff. I really hope TES:VI adopts this system. Hell, dare I say I hope the next installment's gameplay is similar to ESO. They really nailed everything. Skyrim's magic schools, ESO's everything else.

[@harrybeast58]

@@abd-qadirgilani8871 it definitely needs to be a mix of both. can’t be fully like eso but i see what you’re saying they definitely need to make it more streamlined

I'm really liking the CP change. My stamblade has 24k health with a food buff, 21k without. Whereas before he barely had 18k with a food buff

[@fredhurst2528]

If you are building your 1st character, I would have alts made up while you are leveling your main to act as personal banks, useful even if you do not intend to play them or are saving them for later, they can be mount trained daily for more inventory.

[@charlesludwig8389]

What does mount trained mean

[@fredhurst2528]

@@charlesludwig8389 In the major cities there are stables, the stablemaster (I think that's the NPC's name) will offer one mount training for each toon for a bit of gold, with a 20 hour cooldown. You can train up speed, stamina, or carry capacity that applies to that toon's inv (no need to be mounted.)

[@charlesludwig8389]

@@fredhurst2528 I’ve been doing a bunch of research and learned that one! I got the 30% horse boost as well. Thank you for the information dude

[@jesserichards5582]

Thank you, everyone else just do end game builds & try telling you you have to play this specific way. Which going that route ruins the fun in the game. You do a really good job of breaking it down & still add the excitement to player choices

[@cinchmccoy]

Tip for building ur character - do whatever you want to do cause there is no real way to mess it up - you can always reset all ur stats etc so just have fun trying different things

[@MetalDetecting1974]

I would love to see or watch you play a new character from level one to 50 I think that would be so fun and a very good way to teach new player's

[@kevinr2261]

I've only started playing ESO last year, I am new to MMO in general, and just about deleted my magica DPS (1st character build) until I went back over this basics video to see what I messed up or just missed. Thanks for all of your informative AND most importantly easy to understand videos.

[@SB-tf9hu]

I just started last week and your videos have been insanely helpful thank you

[@osrikvonjager1717]

Kodokan here DK tank lvl38 atm, your vids have helped me a ton so far I have a few questions but will save till level 40 or maybe 50. Getting to know the games in and outs . Thanks JV

[@y2ksw1]

With the new CP system, I enjoy even characters I started to make quite some time ago. Maybe because now you can and must make choices, and these choices are then feeled and seen dominantly.

[@marquecapone]

I have been playing casually since One Tam came out. I really enjoy this game and the flexibility of it. I run a tri-spec magicka templar. Been tweaking it for years now. I like how you encourage peeps to play all roles and styles. I didn't really start enjoying the game till I broke the idea of only one role. Other people may dps harder than me, or crit heal harder. But when the group starts to fail, I can pick up slack. My wife plays straight dps and she wouldn't have it any other way. Lol. Hope yall enjoy this game as much as we do.

[@XPISTOS-ANESTH]

We're lucky as ESO community to have you thank you so much

[@tiel5617]

Thanks Brah, very helpful. I wondered how to get my Undaunted skill line to level up, and now I know that I do have to use one (or more is better) of the skills to get it to level.

[@taylorn9361]

I believe doing the daily Undaunted pledges also levels it as well. You can get to 10 pretty quickly that way

[@JacobByus]

As a beginner, I think the class I had the easiest time playing solo with is a Dark Elf Sorcerer. I enjoy having pets tank hits for me, and not feeling locked into any one playstyle due to the passives working for any role.

[@raysmith8778]

Hi ty for the info.. I have 1 character and he's a Breton templar. I attempt to be a dps role but some dungeons I always have mobs attacking me idk if I'm just doing crazy dps or what. My gear is as follows: Grothdar head (heavy i believe) & shoulders medium -both gold Mothers sorrow fire staff front bar(gold) mothers sorrow lightning staff (purple) back bar Mothers sorrow necklace purple 2 mothers sorrow rings (purple) Overwhelming surge chest (gold) light Overwhelming surge waist (purple) light O.s. gloves (purple) light O.s. greaves (purple) light O.s. boots (purple) light for 5 pc Overwhelming surge bonus 5 pc mothers sorrow bonus And grothdar monster set bonus...now I can take out many many squads but I tend to draw aggression at bosses then I'm running for my life trying to stay alive lol Most of my pcs are using the mundus effect enchantment which is shadow I think for the crit damage. What new sets are better than what I am running here? Any suggestions will be appreciated. Chatter online now is that mothers sorrow isn't top dog now and all that. Ty in advance & for the great videos as I have watched most every video on ur channel lol Just started playing eso last October November or so but played Oblivion and Skyrim b4 for many many many hours...maybe 1000 each at least lol

@@Adam_Lutz which class is the best healer?

[@Kyro_Gaming_Channel]

I really like your videos. I hope you're finding success with KZbin. You're a very good presenter. I'd like to ask, do arenas require certain cp level? Or is there a range of difficulties between them? Arenas are one of the most confusing aspects in the game

[@johnnymartinjohansen]

For me, the most confusing is which skills to use. Even though my main feels pretty efficient for my playstyle, I never do the kind of dps as in these videos. Second, the armor sets. I don't think I've ever had more than 3 pieces of a set at a time. This is mainly because I've never bothered to do in-depth research on this, so I don't know how/where to get the right stuff. I really hate it when I have to watch tons of YT vids just to get the grip of a game, I'd rather just play, and watch vids like this one for general tips and advice. But then again, I don't really need the absolutely best setup, since I never do trials or vet dungeons.

[@menthuras]

I am Pretty Happy with my Nord Warden Tank :D

[@divinatinseance501]

Have had the game for years but never really got hours in. Today I made my main for years come something a little opposite of what i should be, I'm a huge buffed and muscled High elf Nightblade knight lol

[@westernbitterfish]

I want to ask what a monster set is, but I don't think I need to know yet - currently only level 23. I don't think most of this really applies to me yet - just enjoying the path to 50 then I can dive into more min maxing.

[@tronicmighty8843]

For dragonknight do you need to put for tank build as only health to be a tank??

[@EnigmaG]

Fundamentally in a typical MMO, it would not be enjoyable to be outcompleted by most of your peers, so having meta build is kinda important.

[@umbrashadowmoon5685]

I do like that new cp system but I am having hard time working on it. I wanted to magic and become a Druid, also love animal/companions to help me fight by my side. Focus on all around role. So I assume I will be Breton with magicka warden.

Meta race but like I would like to make my own meta build but I'm way to green in eso to be that savvy

[@marcuspagan9863]

Whats up Brah, i heard you speak about templar and im a templar working w magica and stamina. Hybrid i would say, and Im using a Two handed sword with a resto staff. Me personally i think its interesting and for some reason a comfortable build, maybe im missing something but was wondering if we could have a talk about this build and combination.

[@Wasko2]

Yeah i'm trying to do a hybrid as well for my first character lol. Probably gimped myself but theres no character I want to play more. How are you going with yours? Done any tough vet dungeons yet?

[@mignas]

Race is major issue. My main is nord SDK. My meta choices are Dunmer, Redguard, Orc (tested spec for dk). Im looking for a race to switch to for fresh look and better passives. I love argonians, they make most unique characters. But they lack any decent stamina passives and 80% of items look very bad or too generic on them. Redguard passives target sdk weakness - sustain. However, redguards are smaller race than Nords, arent unique and dont have much "cultural" hairstyles/beards. Orcs - best passives, bulky, but ive played as a really handsome orc for a year and want a more relateable face. As for dunmer, my char's original race, it has the best passives for vet content, yet the race itself feels very generic, since more than 50% of eso players play as dunmer race. So its very hard to decide....

@Galacksi I have an Imperial magnecro, and he's doing great. I wanted to try something different outside of the meta builds. My Imperial magnecro packs a punch, not as good as High elf or Breton, but he's still a badass!

[@Gh0stEE5]

@@timothymoore6341 I've been considering switching to imperial or wood elf for my stam. I thought imperial makes a lot of sense with the extra health and stamina. I don't understand how that doesn't fall into the meta category.

[@falrexion7709]

Particularly this patch as it gives so much block reduction, mixing in more medium armor on a tank is great for sustain. If you're crafting a set, chest and legs in heavy with the rest medium can be nice. I usually do the belt and gloves as well and do my boots based on what weights I have my monster sets in.
