[@amdteng]

Great detailed video. I played as a tank when ESO launched, but stopped for quite sometime and got back to the game in elsweyr chapter. Ever since then I haven't been tanking and was more focused on questing since I have a crappy internet connection. I started getting into dungeons again these 2 - 3 years (obviously I have a better and more stable internet connection), and thinking of getting back into tanking. To get the feel again, I recently created a lowbie just to experience tanking again. With your guides, I'm hoping to do it correctly. Thank you very much for sharing your insights.

[@gondo1416]

So far have only watched 17 min and you have answered so many questions for me, I appreciate this video so much

[@jacobnewnam5282]

This an amazing video. I'm a new player looking to build a dk tank and this was huge. THANK YOU

[@GKNOWBODIES]

I’m working on a DK imperial tank, using this video as a reference to see if I’m going in the right direction. Thank for this video. Very helpful & informational!

[@seipher_8334]

Thank you so much for the hard work and these videos. I have always been a main tank and been watching your channel since the very beginning! I just wanted to say thank you!

[@ashmiester84]

This video is so unbelievably helpful for me. I’ve always played healer and magicka dps classes but I think I’m going to make myself a dk tank

[@redeemedcoops]

That's freaky - today I jumped back in to ESO after hearing about the armory update and deciding that its finally time I try my hand at dungeon tanking, and just as I begin my search for my new build, this video is uploaded!

[@redeemedcoops]

Update... tanked in ESO for the first time today! Healer said he didn't have to do any work, haha. Thanks for the all the great content Tank Club!!

[@a_tremereandsomeblood_just3642]

Just started a Tank char - thank you for this helpfull video.

[@eldenmox5525]

My favorite tank race is Breton. It does everything you want as a tank just better than anything else. As you mention magicka is your main resource and the spell mitigation is the highest you can get which balances with heavy armor passives. The main thing that puts most people off is the max mag and that you have to allocate points elsewhere but I have noticed a couple of things. One if you want to you can just not slot the passive and two I prefer the max stats and still hit 50k hp without trying and only putting around 14 to 20 points into stam.

[@Strider1313]

I like hearing the love for redguard I’m redguard Templar and I was debating on using the armory to set up a tank option

[@brucewilliamson5295]

Iv been re-learning my DK tank since i left for a bit and this was helpful for a refresher. Plus I forgot how fun tanking was until I started tanking for my sister and 11 year old son to do dungeons with no healer. Honestly can say I enjoy more than dps although my new stamblade build is fun as hell too! 😂

[@andersonlane54321]

Started to learn dps after a year as a tank main and I love it! I accidentally made a very tanky damage dealer my first couple attempts

[@patrickmasterson9832]

I really wish I found this channel when I started tanking would have made my life so much easier. Sitting at almost 1k cp and just now getting off leeching thinking it was an OP set

[@jaredvernon5983]

For beginner build as a DK I enjoy a mix of tormentor and leaching with the blood spawn Monster set. Sword and board, two handed With dragon leaf and the two handed charge from Morf right I can’t remember what it’s called gives you two AOE taunts then use piercing armor and the chain poor for an additional single target taunts. Only drawback is you don’t really learn how to play the tank without the AOE taunts

[@horridfuture3835]

Thanks for the vid. Sick of never getting into content as a dps so I’m switching.

[@Kronosxviii1]

Only thing I could think of to add would be specifically covering the use of the frost staff ranged taunt skill as a substitute while you are leveling the undaunted skill line. You do mention it as an option but beginner tanks may not have the skill line leveled up yet and or not know how to level it up.

[@mattkuhart8694]

If they don't know how to level that skill line up then they need to look up a beginner video for the entire game. Also if they don't have the common sense to use whatever range taunt is available to them first over another one that will take time then they have bigger issues than that. I see what you're saying but yea that's a bit much.

[@jackwelborn1863]

New to the game I've been on here for hours looking at videos I've always played tank if the game has tank class Im running tank 100% of the time first in last out center of the action you my friend got a new subscriber please keep the videos coming thank you

[@henrykampenhout3027]

Amazing video! 👍👍

[@kingmink138]

Just found this while switching from solo play to more trials and stuff. To be fair I didn't have any idea on what to do or look for or to do as a tank until I see this. Thanks for the videos mate I've found heaven 😂

[@TheTankClub]

Thank you, glad you like the content 🙂

[@kingmink138]

@@TheTankClub bloody love it mate keep up the great work 💪 👍

[@rgchannel3939]

thank you this is very helpful

[@roberthazelton6347]

This helped me a lot. The one thing that made me scratch my head was the Engine Guardian set. Unless I'm missing something, the only way to get this is to do Veteran Darkshade Caverns. Can you do that at CP 0?

[@johernandez266]

Nice Video btw Orange is the new black :D

[@thegoldenratio8127]

In my 8 years of tanking I would 100 percent say Imperial and Redguard are the absolute best for tanking

[@rakeshthapa1579]

Good info 🙏

[@FumblezXIII]

I made a Templar Redgaurd Tank before the last crazy skill rework. I didn't play the time but I wasn't unfamiliar with how tanks worked sense I've tanked in other mmos. I see why I shouldn't use a Templar but it was still fun to not die for an ungodly amount of time 🤣. My wins were draws because I didn't do damage and couldn't be killed lol.

[@thumbdeadred]

Thank you for this, as a main healer moving to tank class this helped incredibly well. I'm not a fan of DPS builds, I maybe rare in saying this but I find DPS boring and irritating and playing as a healer watching DPS players (the not so good ones) just do whatever the F they want (ignoring AOEs or ignoring positioning) has absolutely put me off playing them.

[@mzawadzk]

And one more - you cannot play DPS well if your healer or tank does not play well. Either you loose dps for selfheal/buff or risk beeing wiped with fake tank/healer. I enjoy to play as healer and now start to learn how to tank on my alt.

[@thumbdeadred]

@@mzawadzk Fake tanks on low level dungeons, fine we can push through. Fake healers however do my nut in. Tank and DPS need a healer to help with restoring magic and stamina as well as taking heals -like you said- so DPS and tank can focus on rotations rather than self heals. Later dungeons you don't get fake tanks too much but if you're fake healing you can tell straight away and it's annoying for everyone. To me that's an auto vote kick. Everyone hates the healer until they want something

[@ZombroESOGod]

I just wanna know what shield you have because it looks amazing!

[@dedskiinmask6220]

You should do some PVP tank builds

[@lorgren4002]

I want to try tanking but it is intimidating :D but I want to try it. I like playing healer so I want to try this too. Also, what motif do you use for armo and weapon/shield in this video? It looks cool :D

[@BOBBAKOW]

Tool tip on Xbox for defensive posture doesn’t increase my block mitigation, is it currently bugged?

[@CsO-420]

Damn, this is lit.. cp 1k+ and i i decided to start tanking from 0

[@mitchthedoctor8655]

Lovely, just lovely, and ehats that dwemer shield you had there?

[@TheTankClub]

That is the Stonekeeper Shield 🙂

[@texbo1919]

Ok Ima try this. Second build to try coming back to this game.

[@reffa2858]

I remember way back in the day, dark elfs were considered the best dk tanks. and people would play RGB with the Engine guardian set. 😂

[@rynhardtengelbrecht3614]

While usually playing magicka dps, I decided I wanted to try out tank, and I immediately went and created a nord warden cause warden looked interesting to me as a tank, I'm not screwed as a brand new tank am I? :D

[@mzawadzk]

Thanks - 1.5 year of playing, and just now realized that you dont regenerate stamina when blocked....

[@TheTankClub]

Glad I could help

[@savagex466-qt1io]

Hey man thanks so much for your video's ! I was wondering ... I have all my skills that I need. Was wondering what I should spend my skill points on ? Ether metal work ? Or wood work ? Or should I specials in alchemy ? I dont know about makeing things as to me I find drops to be better ?

[@TheTankClub]

You can save those skill points because sometime you have skills that you need for only a few situations. All crafting is useful at some point so it's up to you.

[@savagex466-qt1io]

@@TheTankClub Hey thanks so much man. I got the hirelings as they can give me free supplies lol. Thanks again.

[@eyezwideshut]

What styles are you wearing?

[@SunnySingh-wz3ky]

Anyone knows what motifs and dyes he is using on his armour? His character looks sick.

[@mitsouqc]

Agree. Would also like to know.

[@fatedcypress9222]

Literally looking thru the comments trying to figure this out lol.

[@tex1797]

What are the best sets is there a video with out Trial armor 🤔

[@TheTankClub]

If you don't plan on doing trials then your absolute best sets would be Drakes Rush and Powerful Assault with Spaulder of Ruin or Magma Incarnate.

[@Dolbic.]

What about nords? they got HP and Stamina and armor and ultimate generation 0.5/sec

[@TheTankClub]

For a beginner I like to prioritise sustain benefits. Nords are fine to use. That Nord Ultimate passive takes over 8 minutes to give you a free Ulti.

[@Meiershans]

did you consider any changes because of the Combustion changes? Did you still get enough Stamina?

[@TheTankClub]

Nothing changed for Tanks

[@Jiggacake]

The combustion causes more issues for magdk than stam dk, I run a StamDK but have actually quit using it as my main since the nerf, but I will make a DK tank

[@charlessaxton8354]

Balance cost health, reduces shield strength, and healing received. That is a lot of negative trade off for just 3,000 magicka return. I know that it is tank doctrine to use balance, but I personally think it just stresses young tanks. I would Love to see someone do a mathematical analytical assessment to see if the benefit really is worth the cost.

[@TheTankClub]

Well I have covered the use of Balance in another video. The 4 seconds that you have weaker shields and healing is not ever an issue and you will heal yourself back to full just with Health recovery within 4-6 seconds more or less. If a healer is healing you, then you are back at full within 1 second even with the worst of healers. On a 40-45k Health Tank, having infinite sustain is far better than anything else you could want which is what Balance offers you basically.

[@NigthSprings]

Is this an ESO tank guide or DK tank guide? I can't see the differences, you're super biased with DKs honestly, but still great content, as always, ty for the job.

[@thumbdeadred]

He tells you in the video [it's a tank build, mentioning DK as it is the easiest to tank with for an absolute noob that doesnt know up from down. Any class can tank some harder to get used to, he uses DK for noob, because of sustain and damage mitigation is way easier, he also says use this class to get used to tanking, then when you are comfortable change class and experiment until you find the class you want to tank with, he is biased towards DK due to the ease of using them. Just like magplar is the easiest healer to use but once you get used to healing you can change class]

[@tonylamar8429]

Not sure how your non cp stats are better than my 1400 CP tank (first time making one)

[@KpK1Cioby]

what do you mean templars are not good tanks, I can aoe taunt

[@cinchmccoy]

u do not have to permanently block to be a good tank omg someone needs to do a beginner guide to watching beginner guides

[@TheTankClub]

No one mentioned permanently blocking but funnily enough its the best way to mitigate damage. Go right ahead and make the guide

[@artichoke890]

Make my head spin as a beginner. im kinda lost

[@TheTankClub]

This is an old video, if you want something a bit more up to date then you could take a look at my written guide: thetankclub.com/eso-beginner-tank-guide/

[@indang3r610]

so this guide says red guard and argonian, other guide said Nord. Really confusing as new player.

[@TheTankClub]

This is over a year old.

[@Pooter-it4yg]

i disagree with your philosophy re beginners (although this is an old vid so maybe it's changed in the interim). IMO there's too much here that teaches bad selfish habits at a time in the game when anyone can tank wearing anything - you just need a taunt. Real tanks are actually quite rare in sub-50 dungeons because they aren't really needed so it's not so much a matter of safe training wheels and safe training missions. Far better to learn to move, manage and debuff enemies at this stage. Even my constantly reincarnating sub-50 dungeon healers can all tank successfully on the back bar in light pyjamas. Actually, they spend most of their time doing it... Easy enough. Front bar is resto staff with class attack buff, class spam, combat prayer, resto area heal, resto radiate heal and power attack ult. Back bar is ice staff with the same damage abilities plus blockade debuff and clench. Once in position I can flip back to the front bar to blast combat prayer and heals through the boss at the group. This can be achieved by about level 23 and is actually a good way of learning tank and healer basics as well as relatively simple bar swapping. Multitask learning. This also fits in with my attitude to fake queuing. Do it by all means but at least have a taunt or a group heal lurking somewhere on your bars as a courtesy.
