Biggest mistake is thinking your success will carry over into PvP. That will humble and frustrate you very quickly.

[@MsVector666]

So true

[@GetFitPhil]

PVE content is just easy in ESO

[@MiguelMedina-hb1oo]

@@GetFitPhil depends on the player and who's playing 🤔.. You keep saying it's easy but in reality it depends on who's playing and how there learning curve is.. I am still learning the game and as I progress it gets easy but I still due to stuff.. I hardly pvp because I am still building up my stuff loads to do less time to play.. I try to do pvp but I don't feel like it at certain times. Nothing is easy depending on the person. If you playing for years and a veteran of course it's easy but for a new person who is new and knows nothing about the game itself it's not easy. Stop saying it's easy it's easy for you but lot's of people still struggle in the game sometimes.. you start off new to at some point..

[@artur583]

Lol 💯

[@raphael2407]

unless you have Brokensoul, then nothing matters. Press a random button from time to time and your good :/

[@earth2earl]

For new players it may help to show the actual things (like buffs) you are talking about and not just random fighting in the video. But still thanks for the video.

[@rustyhowe3907]

It's really nice and liberating when you get the basic grasp of the game and managed to salvage your favorite toon into something worthwhile just by being able to make a plan. My Stam Warden is thriving now (bow/2hander).

[@Sidney_L]

I use Corrupting Bloody Mara for my mag DK, non vampire. The health regen bonus is nice. He just felt squishy at times and this helped me out.

[@CorvoFG]

After nearly 8 years playing and multiple builds, I’d almost forgotten about Mundus stones. Thanks for reminding me!

[@peterscury8953]

after i finished my final boss magplar with your build i am able to finish every single dungeon even on veteran mode or world bosses thanks dude

[@EmamW]

Is there a resource or source that has all the cap values that we can reference when making a new build so we don’t overshoot stats

[@matthewlucas9830]

Cause of your videos I understand heaps better about the solo aspect of eso to be able to survive and enjoy the game. Next step learning trials and PvP 😅

[@shawntune7704]

...OK...I don't getting called out on the FIRST thing LMAO Great video as always :)

[@MrForgeGamer]

As a tank main I would recommend The Tower Mundus, it increases stamina and for a tank every bit of stamina helps for keeping the shield up and bebuffs/buffs up which is huge for your team.

[@BastardZombieKiller1]

I'm relatively new to ESO (less then lvl 200) and honestly, as my groups main tank, it's crazy for me to see how much I burn through stam. It's really bonkers. Dont even have a mundus yet so I'll be looking for this one.

[@MrForgeGamer]

@@BastardZombieKiller1 for early tanking the Lord (Increases max health and is most common on low/mid tier tanks) or the Lady (increase physical and spell resistance, a solid choice for most stuff used by a lot of mid tier and some high tier tanks) are good choices. If you got all the gear and skills setup I'd go for the Tower. It'll really help with keeping your shield up and breaking free which are both Stam heavy, using Glyphs of Reduce block cost are recommended on shields.

[@xXGCB38Xx]

@@BastardZombieKiller1 1) Make sure you have some block cost reduction glyphs on your jewelry, but not so much as to hamper your mag recovery. You'll get better at gauging this as you get used to balancing your mag and stam sustain. There is no one-size-fits-all for this one. 2) Ensure you are not blocking when you don't need to. Ask yourself in any given pull "Could I survive this if I just dropped block and let HoTs, CC, and my innate resistances do the work?" Unless you eat a heavy from a boss, you'll often find the answer far before you die from this and you'll gain back stam in the process while you chain, CC, heal, and heavy attack in the meantime. If you find that HoTs and resistances don't cover you all too well while you're doing trash pulls, then 3) ensure your resistances reach as close to 33k as you can and that you have adequate healing on your bar (but not too much, you have other things to do as a tank rather than just heal yourself). Ensure you have major resolve somewhere on your bar. Every class has access to it. DK has spiked armor, templar has rune focus, NB has it innately as a shadow passive, and everyone can run Balance from Mage's. Some tanks run Reinforced trait on the chest as it has the highest base resistances of all your armor. I run the Lady Mundus.

[@aqualust5016]

What is the #1 indicator that the skill you have in your rotation, despite providing the right buffs, are just not doing enough damage compared to another rotation option? Is it the base damage of an ability against single target? I feel like the damaging skills themselves, not even including the bonuses that come with them, end up being the difference and not knowing them forces you to build based on meta builds only.

[@Barz1eone]

I wasnt using food for the longest time cause all i had picked up just sucked so i figured it all sucked. But i had so many crown meals that i decided to use one and then i saw how much more health it gave me and i went back and read it...now im starting to go down the provisions tree because i have some really really good food to make thats better than anything buyable.

[@rue965]

Great content!! I’m always gaining awesome knowledge from your videos. Thank you. 👊

[@-NAGI]

Important question, does all the older builds from recent patches still work?

[@ShadowofLegacy]

Hello. I know this is a old video, but does your course go over what skills to front bar and which to back bar? Also when and if you need to double bar a skill for buffs etc? before I buy I wanna know. Because it's extremely hard for me to understand. Also, will the courses help with vampire? Because all I play is vampire on every single class.

[@teynryn831]

Hey Hack, love your builds, just wanted your advice on a Khajiit. Really wanted to go Templar healer, but I’ve been ‘shot’ down as the combination is ‘bad’ according to ‘reddit’ lol. Any advice would be appreciated.

[@KaisersGB]

Man, I always forget to hit the potions. 😂 I never use them I'm any content I run and I feel it when I get those I crap low in resources moments. Looking forward to taking a look at the site, appreciate your hard work and dedication! 😄

[@Mystra]

Biggest mistake would be running one bar build without Oakensoul ring. Which is possible if you're new. Maybe you just didn't know High Isle is needed or you just aren't aware of the ring for whatever reason :) Good tips too, Mundus one is important fr

[@BenDover-cf1sh]

I’m a vet and am extremely succesfull with broakensoul. Build different with this p2w ring

[@Mystra]

@@BenDover-cf1sh I don't know if I would call it P2W. Maybe if you had to do loot boxes to get it. But a one time purchase that includes a bunch of content too really isn't bad imo

[@jbeavan010205]

[@Xindi86]

Thanks for this video it is very educational! Since I have a Necromancer and are basically a noob (already learned this might've not been the easiest choice, still I wish to make it work. Now I'm a bit confused on what to do with the necro to sustain it best. Could you tell me some specific things most important to my class? I'm playing magicka dd (fire, or if okay I would rather go lightning because of looks with all the blue themed skills, but learned fire is better pve/group. *dont like shooting snowballs lol so ice is not for me) with restoration staff back bar. Any tips on skills and buff from other sources (I'm already running The Thief) *I forgot, my goal is PVE solo and group content

[@jake6317]

Been doing a pretty fun bruiser build. I'm new to this game and only like lvl22 but my league player instinct already has me min maxing without really knowing what I'm doing lol

[@sabshadowheart]

7:10 What build is this?!

[@Dampfaeus]

Playing the Game for the first time and doing **all** of the Quests and storylines, and being level 12, I decided to go with The Steed Mundus. The game isn't very hard right now, and +10% running speed helps a lot.

[@GruffyddFO4]

Be sure to hit the stables every time you log in. Max out speed first, then storage, then stamina, since you're doing all the PvE stuff. Also, for getting from here to there, something a lot of new players don't realize is that you can travel to another player (sort of... you end up at the nearest wayshrine) for free. This doesn't even have to be someone you're grouped with, so join a large casual guild, and when you need to travel, scroll through who's online and see if anyone is at or near the place you need to go.

[@DucktacularEvents]

1:02 This made me laugh, running without any mundus stone at all, but it also happened to me. When they updated the armory station to include mundus stones any build saved before then had no mundus stone, even though the character would have had one when the build was saved. So you have to look out for this when loading an old build.

[@myteeone8619]

You playing on the xbob? If so do ha e add-ons .

[@michellepartridge8558]

Really enjoying the 1 bar sorc, completed all the pledges the last 3 days on veteran solo was easy and fun thanks to your great build!

[@Bellthorian]

I have been playing for just over two months. My first toon was a Dragon Knight Sword and board tank. I have 95% of the world Skyshards collected just for the extra skill points. I have all the passives, maxed crafting, maxed scrying. With just crafted gear I have max mitigation of 50% and three damage shields that make him almost impossible to kill in PVE normal mode stuff.

[@XCharizard100]

How did you get all that mitigation?

[@Acooky.]

you can go high than 50% mitigation block caps out at like 89% from what i remember

[@Bellthorian]

@@Acooky. mitigation in PVE is capped at 50%. Shield Block stacks on top of that.

[@Bellthorian]

@@XCharizard100 I use a lot of reenforced traits which increase armor values on my pieces.

[@Acooky.]

@@Bellthorian armor isnt mitigation, they're different stats, armor is just damage reduction to all damage types but mitigation is a flat post damage mitigation buff, theyre entirely different stats

[@winterstar4813]

great as always due to the new changes coming up i would like to see this one redone ... to included those changes

[@queredknight]

I’m into the overworks stuff. I rarely use any of these things because the overworks stuff is way to easy and I want a challenge. ESO needs to to implement a difficulty setting in settings just like Star Trek online and there benefits to having a higher difficulty setting on the STO. More loot for one thing.

[@ThatBaritoneGuitarGuy]

I never do Veteran, so I never use foods and drinks at all. As far as I have seen, that really only gives a sizeable impact in Veteran. Normal and overland stuff is easy enough to deal with as-is.

[@EJSimonsen]

Excellent info. Excited about the Zero to Hero. Should be great! #HackTheMinotaur

[@DioDiablo702]

I personally think that defaulting to Thief stone closes out possibly better options. Not all builds are going to greatly benefit from crit chance. Exploring options to see what works best with your build I feel is better than slapping on the Thief stone.

[@marshallsjabroniusm5971]

For pve damage builds crit is the best option.

[@Very-ImportantPerson]

I remember using your magicka sorc build like 2 years ago, the one with hard attack.. I haven't played since then and would like to get back in. Would it be better to create new char?

[@marshallsjabroniusm5971]

You can just re-apec your skills and attributes of your existing character.

[@jorgennachtigall8474]

Playing magdk, noticed one thing. Major brutality effects wd and sd, but when minor brutality procs, it affects only wd. So i changed all sd glyphs to wd and overall damage from skills increased cause higher wd from minor brutality. Is it reasonable to put all in wd, instead of sd,on mag classes?

[@HackTheMinotaur]

Molten weapons skill give both major brutality and major sorcery which is why you see both. But DKs also get minor brutality from a passive, so yes you actually can get higher damage numbers going all weapon damage on a Mag DK. Since other classes do not get minor brutality I would only do this on a DK tho

[@jorgennachtigall8474]

@@HackTheMinotaur oh thxx

[@joerapp8309]

My problem is the action bar. I never know how to load stuff

[@WDMurphy]

One other thing is to try out ALL the classes because I really did not like the game until I found a class/build I absolutely love to play, so try out all the classes.

[@CierielKiler]

I always run the lover mundus on my stam dps toons, it usually puts me right around 7500 penetration which is about the same as a character wearing 7 pieces of light armor. It's lower crit chance, but medium armor gives crit damage so it evens out in most cases. Mage mundus on my healer for higher max mag, which improves healing, and atronach for my tanks.

[@seagrey75]

I played it for 800+ houers, and just started again.. and everything has changed? I can´t even find where I customize my new char.? What happened?

one of the biggest problems i've found with these build guides is that they are all group focused, ie, dungeons, trials and thats the gear they recommend. I'm a solo pve player and have never had any interest in group content, even though I've done it. Very few people do build guides for this.

[@marshallsjabroniusm5971]

Type in "eso solo build" in the youtube search box. There are hundreds.

[@SoulReaperTOBY]

Sorry, don't understand about passives skills. Passive skills working only if you're using skills of his root. If you learn passives from heavy armor and wearing middle armor, it doesn't work. There are some passives skills what working without any depending on, but it's 2 or 3.

Minor Force - Are you saying that this is the reason for every dps guide to slap Trap Beast in our face? This explains why there are no ranged dps builds. Every dps build foces you to be at melee range or the dps is not relevant. Which affects sustain, since it depends from the dps. WHY such thing is forced in the game...? Yeh, there will be someone immediately slapping Elder SORC Online narrative "But my Sorc/Arcanist Build..." F.OFF... There suppose to be choice... Goal thing - "may be they don't understand their options"... Well described the lack of choice. So yes, I will gladly quit this pain.

When we're talking about builds, we're usually talking about builds for solo/group veteran content, not for normal content (which is indeed very easy).

[@JohnDoe-fb8bz]

From a holistic point of view, the answer to your question is efficiency my friend. Studies show that the average amount of time spent playing video games is somewhere between 7 to 9 hours range...per week. So the more optimised your build, the faster you can get through the content. The faster you can get through content the more rewards, xp or even time you get to enjoy a different game.
