ESO - Almost Immortal Warrior - Dragonknight Tank build! - (Scribes Of Fate DLC)
The ALMOST Immortal warrior is literally BUILT to be as tough as nails for ALL PVE content, and always was ever since it's first release in 2016! This build is all about being a chonka tank and being sure that ANYTHING that wants to hit you, "must try harder". At the same time as being the protector of the group! High survival, great sustainability for utility skills, and the ability to flawlessly protect those around you by your ability to shield them and control the enemy.
The amount of punishment you can endure makes life 10x easier for your healers as they no longer have to baby sit you, and can focus their efforts on the squishies!
This was originally my first build on the channel and to date has been literally the most (or ONE of the most) successful on the channel. It has kept it's unique design throughout, along side necessary adjustments per patch! To THIS day, it is still 100% viable of ALL group based PVE content as a SOLID Dragonknight Tank choice. There are multiple variants to the build which basically all PLAY the same but offer something different to each group depending on what they require for their individual group setups.
This update however changed the game for tanking, as CHAINS had an ADDED feature!
With all the misinformation about "soft taunt" Zenimax Online Studios finally decided to ADD a temporary taunt to the chains ability (find out more here • 🔥🔥TANKING JUST GOT EAS... ) AND they have ALSO made it so that when you hold block and swap bars, you no LONGER lose your ability to block for that short period of time. Tanking just got a WHOLE lot easier in the Elder Scrolls Online and this tank is STILL HERE TO STAY!!

I am still using this build since your very first video, and it is absolutely amazing. I’m excited to see this build and I’ll probably change my armor to what you’re saying to use but I’ll have to look at it but this build still works today and I love it. Thank you so much.
Love this build!!! I’v been using it for years!! Keep up the great work buddy
I have been rockin the Immortal Tank for years and it works as good today as it did all those years ago. Tanking is a true art form and this build helps us all channel our inner Bob Ross

I remember using Akavir Dragonguard and Leeching early on from your builds keep up the good work.
I do miss this game ! Have not played any video games in well over 6 months. Been working on my warhammer 40k. I need a mic because iv never done a trail. Got to level 50 160cp and never done a trail as I always failed to join em lol Loved the DK Argonian. Just fun to play
Friend wanted to be a tank. I sent him this. Hilarious commentary but absolutely great breakdown.
Can you update this for update 40 now with the new class sets and see how they run with leeching? The dk one is the basalt something

Posting from the future, lol. I run this with oakensoul and one monster set helmet like lord warden to reach resistance cap without minor resolve. Alessian also works as a good substitute for leeching with the massive health recovery, perma block with max block cost reduction, 9k+ health recovery when holding block. Poison glyph on sword to restore stam with dk passives. Pretty freaking op compared to the video build
I wanted to set up this build this morning but then I realized I don’t have the support skills. Also do you think taking heroic slash over one of the other skills is beneficial?
starting kinda fresh, was impressed by a tank in the dungeon, came here. Instant regret..... Shooooosh!! everything goes above my head. Sir you do speak FTL. Gotta listen @ x0.5 LOL
Hi Xynode, love your content and I would be interested in an updated version of this build for update 40, taking into account the new DK set from the Endless Archive. Thanks
Thanks for this build! I love playing with the leeching plate but is it really effective against single target bosses? Do you change your set for single target bosses ?
Amazing build video mate though I might not know how to proper apply the mechanics as I constantly die when tank bosses from the latest ESO PVE dungeons… apparently the issue is that I cannot block enough … my block drops after some seconds and since the boss is hitting me , I die :( Any suggestion ????? Thanks
@all Your health recovery is insane high. How? I copied everything from the video and got only 1600 with potions, food, buffs. (I’m dragonite Ork cp680) I can’t believe that you got 3.1k health recovery because of the cp Differenz. So what should I do to get to 3k? Am I missing something ?
I’m a newer player and I hope this isn’t a stupid question, but is it smart to 2 hand with a tank because I have my 2 handed skill pretty high and I haven’t really used sword and shield

@@mikemacon413 I know it's a dual S&B set up but like he said, there are many variations or options for personal preferences so in that regard yes other than that. Since ice staff passive also reduces cost of blocking and increases amount of damage you can block, I though it might also be viable on your back bar which in turns opens the path to frost clench.
Its wild to me that people call this selfish and yet there's 8 DPS in trials and not one of them can rock the support sets? Anytime I run dps I run Reviving barrier, and though its not a support set, that alone most certainly makes a difference on our survivability. So why not have like 1 person amongst those 8 run a Support like class that keeps buffs and debuffs up so the tanks can focus on tanking/surviving and the healers can focus on healing/keeping everyone alive. This whole Tank/Healer/DPS stuff is kinda getting old. Weren't Bards a thing in MMOs?

I mean typically you have 3 dps running support sets, ec cro for buffing the groups crit damage, zenkosh for the group hitting pen cap and big damage buff, and mk sorc to increase overall group dps, and honestly slotting non selfish sets doesn’t really make a ranks job harder lol, it’s just overall to buff the group more using sets such as sax, pa, TT, Yol, PW, and the list goes on

Most prog groups wont allow this build, Winters can be replaced by a skill called Healing Springs and leeching doesnt provide any group buffs nor does the mythic. Better to run at least one group buff set paired with one of these or they wont even look your way to tank, shame because its a fun build! ❤ Much love xy

* YOUR IR prog. Quite frankly, the groups I run with will prioritize survivability of the group (for the no-death part of the 'chieve) and tanks like this and the Lazy Tank and Atronach provide this in spades. You are falling for a very common fallacy of assuming that every group is like the group you run with or that you follow. They're not.
Not sure in understand how Bloodlords works since it only works on 1 target at a time. Most bosses ssem to have have several seconds (5 to 20 or 30-ish) between blockable attacks. For mobs, I bash, they hit, I block. Benefit only if their damage is less than my gain. Am I missing something? Otherwise, build looks fun to try and test survival. Is there a variant for an unkillable solo build (a tanky DPS)? Low DPS could take forever on a boss.

I figured out the health recovery numbers but the magicka is still well out of reach for me. I'm assuming it's something I missed in the champion points? Most of the health recovery comes from strategic reserve in the fitness tree.
@HiranyaJayathilaka
Жыл бұрын
I was quite confused by this at first too. But I think I can get pretty close to those numbers by having the strategic reserve CP slotted with 500 ultimate (that adds about 1500 health regen), and having a tripot potion active (30% boost to both health and mag recovery). My regen numbers are still 100-200 lower than what's shown in the video, but my character is also lacking a few important passives, so hopefully that's where the shortage is.
Is this build still viable?
Out of curiosity, what are a couple skills you'd switch if you're playing battlegrounds for fun
For the love of God man. I had to slow the video to .25 just to see each piece of armor as you clicked past at 1000kph just slow down and go down the line one piece at a time. I just want to see the armor name and enchant/bonuses and you snap between each like it musical chairs. Made this really annoying to just see what the names were in order from top to bottom. Great video overall, thanks.
