I will never get into this game as much as you with all these stats. Yet I still watched in awe of what I didn’t know and how it could potentially help me if I wanted to. My puny brain couldn’t or won’t lol do this hahah. Excellent video. Well done. Yeah the last bonus tip. Just shows why. Travel to someone. Doesn’t matter where, and then travel to where you want. Yes my friend you just saved me thousands of gold.

Oh, I definitely am! Looking for things that apply to help a returning tank. It's been quite a few years since I played. Most of what you shared seemed a bit more DPS focused, but it also intrigued me when it came to group dynamics and how a set group using this information could really kick butt!@@AreaofEffect

[@BlookieEmerson]

Amazing video, thank you so much for explaining all the little details numbers, percentages, etc. Ive been playing for a couple months honestly since the day i started playing and i cant put the game down lol but one thing i kept not understanding is what numbers i should be striving to have my characters stats at for each build and how much they impact.

The "Beam me Up" add-on [for PC users] automates most free wayshrine travel -- saving BOTH $millions and CP! Unlike those nasty PvPer's, PvE mobs can never Crit. I'm pretty sure they can never apply Penetration (reducing player armor). Concur? Edit: fantastic video. Well researched and exceptionally well presented!

[@AreaofEffect]

Never knew that about the PC add-on! Neat! As far as the Crit and Penetration from PVE mobs, you are correct! Good mention! And thanks for the compliments and feedback! 🙏🏼💯

[@Doodelz02]

Oh, and for the "committed" (both definitions), google "eso uesp housing" and browse the available houses (10 free + 13 more for approx 560k gold total). If "Beam me up" can't find a friend in your desired destination zone, it'll show you an owned home in that zone, and let you port inside (or just outside). That's like 23 extra spots (usually decently close to nearby wayshrines). I've been at this for a while and own all gold-purchasable houses ... and it makes a big difference, but at least start with a small budget as soon as practical!

[@jeanpaul2042]

There are enemies which apply armor reduction debuffs but as far as i know they do not have base penetration

[@AreaofEffect]

@@jeanpaul2042 Very excellent point!

[@jeanpaul2042]

[@devilpig6]

Dude, your videos are an absolute staple in my life... On a side note, you should really think about doing voice acting... I'm not saying your voice sounds like his, but it always reminds me of the dude that narrates the Christmas story in the way that it's comforting and grabs the attention of listeners... I would totally watch a series with you narrating for sure... Thank you for being so open about what you know... It's always irritating when people try to silence me in guild chats when I'm trying to explain what I'm doing on my characters or how to get higher damage or whatnot... I know that as an obsessive and utterly addicted night blade, my intentions should always be shady and silent but I truly feel that we should ALL help others to grow as players... Maybe it's because I only started ESO to stop being so obsessed with chess and am not what you'd call a "gamer"... I play A game in a die hard fashion until something else comes along... But, I don't think I'll ever stop playing this one... It's just rad af... Gg, dude...

[@AreaofEffect]

Thanks Devil Pig! I will say- I’ve noticed your gameplay has drastically improved over the past year or two that I’ve seen you in PvP. Anyways- thanks for showing up again! I genuinely appreciate you!

This is another awesome video. I have watched it a few times already. Thank you again for all the time you put into creating this content. I am only in my 2nd year playing this game, and you have taught me a lot! There are so many things to learn, and your videos are like a Master Class! Also, I really enjoy your Out of The Box builds. I am a storyteller at heart and try to build my characters with a theme or story. It is how I enjoy playing an RPG. You not only accomplish this well, but you make builds that work, are really fun to play in PVP/PVE/Questing, and they all look really cool. It all makes for a very immersive experience! I am really looking forward to the build you said was coming. Thank you again!!!

[@AreaofEffect]

Haha thanks Grimm! You know what’s funny, is that years ago, I never expected some of my “spare time” ESO videos, to result in such an I continually growing crowd that seemed to keep asking for more. But, as a guy with a full time “real” job, and a family, I’m happy that I’ve been able to make it work! Also- I’d like to thank you for your continued support of the channel, and for sticking around for all this time! 🙏🏼

[@GrimmLegion]

No worries! I always try to support in whatever way I can. I’d like to bounce some build ideas off you at some point if you have time. Also on your dk that’s running red mountain and plague slinger, change out the monster helm for Eternal Guardian if you haven’t before. It adds some spice to that build. I’ve been running that for a long time since they added the 1 second proc set delay and sometimes that scares people because you looking like you are RPing a moving volcano xD. But keep the videos coming brother!

[@AreaofEffect]

@@GrimmLegion Ahh yes! The Hell’s Plague build! One of my favorites. And actually yes, I DID end up messing with Infernal Guardian monster set on that one as well too. The mortars from it really added nicely to the mortars from Plague Slinger and Red Mountain! ☄️

What the actual… lmao No. It’s not called cheating. It’s called The Master of Agony build and I’ll post the link below. 😉 Sorry for late reply. Also- I went through several versions of this build before release, so I was going to try to make sure that the screenshot I posted matched the setup I posted in the video. Still haven’t done that yet as I’ve been busy as Hell in real life, and have so many comments I’m trying to sift through. ❤️

[@Pok3Manny]

What if you could reach 80K+ in resistance? Lets say with Aetherial Ascension & Juggernout, plus the Dov-Rha Sabatons. Does that mean that for a 10K attack you still take 5K damage?

[@AreaofEffect]

Correct! Resistances are hard capped at 33,000 so once you reach 33k Spell or Physical, anything extra that you have does nothing to benefit your character. At 33k you gain 50% mitigation and for each 660 resistances, it’s equivalent to 1% mitigation.

[@Pok3Manny]

@@AreaofEffect Thanks for the clarification. Is it feasible to create a Tank that deals damage based on Max health? I just know of two skills that do this (Spike Bone Shield and Gripping Shards). You mentioned that you like to push the limits so I thought this could be a new idea. Thanks again!

[@ColbyCadwell]

Nice job on glyphs. Ive had WR scorepushes ask me about these bc they dont know how they work. Oops i skimmed thru. Idk if u mentioned how to actually proc the glyphs with LAs, weapon skills, or reproc them with the 4 ground aoes…. Snapshot dmg is incorrect tho. Sticky dots do NOT snapshot their dmg based on which bar ur on. Only the bar u cast it from. (Like entropy or claw or vamps bane etc). Exceptions to the rule are sticky dots with secondary effects like trap/hemo…. Recovery stats happen every 1s out of combat fyi.

[@AreaofEffect]

Hey Colby! Thanks for the compliments! And I love it when people are as into the nerdy stuff as me! ❤ Hey, but real quick. As far as the “sticky dots” and the recovery rate of 1 second ticks, you are wrong my friend! I doubled back and tested these things again for myself just to make sure I wasn’t crazy or if something had changed (because so many things often do lol) and my findings were still exactly as I had stated. I took a couple video clips of these as well during the testing if you are interested in seeing the proof in real time. Anyways I genuinely appreciate you and your feedback, as well as your support of the channel. It means a lot! 🙏🏼💯

[@ColbyCadwell]

@@AreaofEffect np. N naw i just tested last week. The only way a sticky dots dmg changes from bar to bar is if it has secondary effects that update in real time (like traps hemo proc). (Or the actual buffs/debuffs change ofc) And umm. I think everyone knows ur recovery rate in and out of combat is not the same lol. 2s is correct for while in combat tho which is mainly when u want it lol so i prob shudnt even brought that up

[@ColbyCadwell]

@@AreaofEffect afaik tho yes. All ground dots update dynamically to the stat of ur current bar.

[@AreaofEffect]

@@ColbyCadwell No sir I just checked with the Degeneration skill. No secondary effects applied! And same for the “out of combat” recovery rates. I had 1700 stam recovery on the stat screen (shown in the video clip) and then consumed all stamina from dodge rolling while remaining out of combat. And you can see the stamina resource bar filling up slowly at 1700 stam every 2 seconds in 2 second intervals still.

[@suitaec877]

THank you so much. Heartland and Torug\s is so good...but is it ok now?

[@AreaofEffect]

Yes still great! Especially with the buff to all Status Effects (and glyphs are a major way to proc status effects).

[@BMVLifestyle]

Ty. What’s proc stand for?

[@AreaofEffect]

Proc stands for: Programed Random Occurrence. To better understand this, I’ve found a great definition/explanation online and put it here: Proc is a computer gaming term that rhymes with "dock." Proc is used as both a noun and a verb to describe whenever a random gaming item activates or a random gaming event occurs. Particularly common in massively multiplayer online games, procs are random events where special armor or weapons provide the user with temporary extra powers or whenever the opposing character suddenly becomes more powerful in some way.
