Everything I thought I knew was true was literally destroyed in 8 mins 28 secs.

Only time I use sturdy is when blocking people on Instagram and Fb

Honestly after you and Charles started making content on youtube, my knowledge about dds and especially tanks grew exponentially. It's wild how people who consider themselves endgame or close to it could be playing basically wrong all those years. Idk if that knowledge was there for actual endgame people for a long time or not but I know for sure that most people merging from mid to endgame watching guides that are saying that you need to use sturdy, that armor cap is ez to get, that Nords aren't that good anymore, that mag recovery is goated and stuff like that. About content creators, tbh I don't think they mean harm, more like they probably don't know what's better. The issue though is that they are too sure in their knowledge which isn't always the right one. So thanks for giving actual argumented and proven information. Like I said I really learned a lot by watching your videos.

I’m really trying to get into tanking but the misinformation is a major issue for me, I love the role but it’s just tough on me cause one side “sturdy is best” and then others “divine and reinforced is best” it hurts my head lol Edit for anyone wondering after this guide: I felt an immediate improvement after switching from all sturdy/some reinforced…this guy is 10/10 would watch again

I just want to thank you again for your content. I tried tanking when I started playing and I was told “go 5-7 sturdy so you can survive, ensure the boss is on the right place and survive, that’s your job”. I said f** that’s boring and went dd. However, playing with actual good tanks in recent trifecta progs and watching your videos have encourage me to try tanking again… and I am enjoying it. So, thank you.

Sick guide dude you making youtube videos really adds a lot to the ESO community Looking forward to see more stuff so I can start my career as a bugtank

Getting back into ESO have been looking for new updated info on what tanks use, blessed to have found your channel. Love how everything is explained. You gained a sub my good man!

Impressive - thank you. Joined (and subscribed, ofc). Please keep producing this excellent content.

This comment on the 7 sturdy redguard describes me so perfectly its shocking lol

I'm not sure how much of the info in these vids is still relevant in update 40 however, I made changes to my tanks suggested in your vids & goodness most of the content I do now is twice as easy for me. Simple things like verifying that tremorscale & crimson with stack, the above info (ditching sturdy), etc have made my tank builds feel more like tanks rather than aggro holder. I'm not going to dis anyone but after using your info vs the info i got elsewhere, I'm not using a certain other stie for tanking anymore & you got yourself a new sub. I appreciate the info

THANK YOU! I actually had a build going into bahsie hm with all sturdy and Magika recovery from what I had seen from tank club and was imperial. Honestly I’ve gotten through all my trials trifectas with that set up fine BUT after I actually changed my race and traits on gear to divines, etc. You can feel the difference, honestly for hard content it makes SUCH A DIFFERENCE!

Great video, my entire Tamriel worldview and 600 transmutes had just gone to waste lmao. Although, I don't think it's entirely fair to the Tank Club to refute it so harshly, speaking from the peak end-game perspective (don't know why he didn't do vDSR HM, as he was up there with RG last year - guess due to real life). Say, the "Necro tank is worst" - the fact that they're vital for SBS is something most tanks won't ever see, and for this patch at least will have a much better time with a DK or a Warden. I hope you'll have a website or more guides, or that there'll be some "merger" of you guys, that'll result in clarified & accessible knowledge from beginning to end-game.

Thank you for your hard work put into this video and into this game! I want to say as someone who started tanking with a nord dk and later once necro was released and I got some tanking time under them I invested 100% into it and even turned my Nord dk into a pvp toon because I couldn’t compete with my own toon in content that others said ONLY a dk tank was to be used. I couldn’t tell you how many HMs I’ve saved from wiping with necro vs any other tank class that I’ve used before in the past. I do run my necro a lot different then I’d say 90-95% that put out guides. Just for a minor example I’ve been told running x7 divines on a tank that has 70k health is a waste and I’m a bad tank, yet I have more hm clears then basically anyone that’s told me that. Granted I’ve been on break from ESO for about 4 months now, watching your content has only educated and “reinforced” the way I’ve been running things. So again thank you very much for your time invested in this subject. It helps break this notion on the misconception of what makes a good tank. Definitely using this for others to help bring them where they need to be!

Looking forward to more content from you. Strangely enough when i started tanking, i used reinforced on my big body pieces, until i started doing trials and were told i had to go sturdy because vet trials is all about permablocking your way through it. Sigh, now to transmute everything... again 🙈

I'm glad I found your channel. I am about to start a dedicated tank and was about to go farm/buy sturdy stuff, even though it didn't make sense that sturdy was better than reinforced according to tank club...

Dude... your videos are the best 3rd party content in the game. I've been a MT for a long time, and never knew a clear-cut way to build armor. The way TC laid things out made sense... if you want to perma-block (which I don't, nor should anyone). So thank you for your great videos! They are loads of help to take my tanking to the next level!

Great vid thx for sharing. I don't go to discord a lot so I never moved away from old setups I found on ages ago. Glad to update some of my gear.

Glad I already knew this but it's still a really solid video. Although, I still don't use reinforced that much as with the armor plus passives and buffs allow me to hit resistance cap easily so I often prefer to use other traits like sturdy, divines, and well fitted.

Great video!

I definitely recognize that blurred minecraft jellyfish lol

excellent information. I've long preferred to sit at resistance cap even as so many would insist 25k was enough so I really appreciate seeing the math displayed so much more clearly than I could have. It both helps me understand why I find it more comfortable, and also provides me with a resource I can direct people to. Although not a competitive tank option, I personally have found templar to be just a little bit easier to handle dots on than the Dragonknight, and am curious if there's something I'm missing about dk. My frame of reference being how long I can survive bahsei hm curse without healers helping me. Although, admittedly, I haven't held bahsei on the templar in two patches

The one thing i hate about ESO's community is people say "that will never work" because they didn't try it. I have been tanking on my nightblade for over 5 years, when i started everyone said "nightblades can't tank" they would continue to say that even after i proved them wrong. I'm happy to see that the community has moved past that, but i still here "that will never work" way too often about other things.

You were recommended to me by a guild mate. I just started vet trials and his setup was SO much better than mine. I thanked him and he said “I’m just the messenger” so THANK YOU. I was following tank club stuff and while I was able to clear, I felt like I was holding the other’s back. I’ll be watching more of your stuff!

Yeah I would never run a Tank Club build. I am no where near good enough to run a tank that is strictly a dps buff tank with next to no survivability. Idk how good he is but I'm not there. I'm waiting for him to start showcasing a light armor, Breton, Warden tank with double ice staff and claim that's meta.

Thank you for your excellrnt insight. I humbly suggest that TC Lee, et al, may be well intended in their display of information just as you appear to be. I maintain that is it possible to promote your perspective as more accurate without demeaning, belittling, ridiculing, or otherwise besmirching others in the process. Cheers! And I will continue to seek your advice. Thanks again!

It's about damn time someone has spelled all of this out properly. Thank to Tank Club, I've wasted an enormous amount of transmutes putting sturdy on my gear and I only have one character. Now I get to re-do all of it in Reinforced/Divines. Gotta love it. Thank you for providing accurate information. I understand that there's more than one way to skin a cat and many players benefit from sturdy to help them sustain in perma-block. I was one of those players that wanted to learn to play properly from the start in proper support sets with proper traits on them. The best way to learn to sustain is to be forced to sustain or die trying.

Exactly what the tank community needed. Thank you!

I can say after I kwow you Hyper, I really don t use Sturdy anymore, and can t find the reason why before I went Sturdy. So you are FIRST. 😊

Thank you for this video, I will probably be swapping my big armour pieces to reinforced now. For a long time now I've only used sturdy in a 5/1/1 set up and I don't permablock unless I absolutely have to. The only thing I haven't tanked in the game yet is DSR hm, I've always managed to deal with more incoming damage by simply reapplying puncture when I know I'm going to take a big hit as my master sword and board puts me at resistance cap, applying a hot etc and I've been good so far. One thing I learned is that while there definitely is a meta way of doing things, there are different ways you can set up your toon to cover the weaknesses you're missing. If someone wanted to go all sturdy for example, could you not think of another way they could still be sitting at a base resistance level that you would consider good? For example, them using the lady mundus, being a nord etc?

Whats the best armor trait for a tank in pvp ?

I have a little remark on the calculation used. I'm not gonna say you're right or wrong, I'm hardly capable of tanking vDSR regular vet myself. But, you use only resistance in your calculation, but there are also 2 of 4 CP passives that are always used and there is a little bit of armour bonus which is also always present when you go to that level of difficulty. With just the blue 4 CP passives and armour bonus (I assume 7 pieces) you're already at 25% mitigation. When I take the 31493 armour you use in your calculation and add that to my "base" mitigation I have 60.6% mitigation When I take the 33100 armour you use in your calculation and add that to my "base" mitigation I have 62.4% mitigation The difference here is 1.8% when I include some bonusses you're very likely to have. The difference in damage taken would be: 60.6% mitigation gives 39394 damage 62.6% mitigation gives 37565 damage The difference here is 1829 This is slightly less than the 2430 you got at when only using reinforced. So, in most regular cases where you won't get oneshot through your block (my experience), I'd say, reinforced doesn't make that big of a difference. But then again, if your life depends on it, take any bit of mitigation out there and make use of it. My reasoning of "not that much of a difference" comes from that most light attacks are (depending on where you are) 8-25K and heavy attacks between 30K(base dungeons on vet) to.... at least 150K since I have not been able to see how hard things hit for in about any HM trial. In those cases I have not the data of, I can not say how much things are worth since, well, I do not know. Again, I'm not saying you do not know what you talk about because having the trifecta there you obviously do know what you talk about, but since I like knowing things behind the scenes I worked out a bit on this. Please don't take this as a negative feedback.

The CPs and other sources of mitigation are multiplicative to armor's mitigation, not additive, so the difference you'll notice from adding Reinforced won't be impacted by those. Like in the first example from the video, you'll notice 4.63% damage reduction compared to what damage you were taking without Reinforced no matter how much other mitigation you had before. Reducing 4% from 25k light attacks can add up, just as I described in the video, you won't have to spend as many GCDs healing/shielding yourself and you can spend more time supporting the group even if you were surviving those attacks just fine

guess i have some trait changing to do…. My transmute storage is crying and i have you to thank for it!

Why not just use both reinforced and sturdy?

You could do that too, when I was doing the "7 sturdy" vs "Reinforced and Divines with block enchant" comparison I used Divines because that's the trait you'll want to swap to eventually when you stop permablocking, if you're not planning on dropping that habit then you can make setups with Reinforced and Sturdy

Necro tank meta becasue its the only class able to mitigate DoT damage?

I love when people who are experts go on rants like at the end of this video. It's so cathartic hearing someone who has the math, the experience, and the knowledge all on their side just completely destroy someone who has no idea what they are talking about. I've long been frustrated with the Tank Club recommendations and I feel like it's become the tank version of Alcast. Someone who might have one been at the higher end part of the game who now just casually spews out the same stuff he's been doing for years because he won't or can't adjust to the times. And yet it's the most recommended and common entry point for players, despite people like you existing.

based, but you didn't account for Sturdy being 0.675% more lore accurate than Reinforced or even Divine (only lore accurate on Templar tanks) which is probably the level of argument you're going to receive from ppl giving advice on tank club

I'm playing as a tank since i started ESO. For me, there si several ways to be a good tank. We have to survive, buff the group, and hold the taunt. And even if theres better and easier ways to do that, we have to find a comfortable gameplay for us. I didnt how'many times I changed my traits or enchants just to have a little morenmag recov'or health or armor. Just play efficient, but play as you want to be able to do your job.

When did armro cap got notched up by 100 points? It has been 33k for eight years thus 660 armor gives one % of mitigation. Not 662.

Yep I found wrong info when doing the research, doesn't change much though

So I used tank club for a question asking if armor sets procs for synergies worked with the undaunted passivss got told he's but they are useless

Thank you for finally saying something about tank club. So much bad information and I have been telling all my friends this over on pc na for a long time now! It's sad when I see tanks trying to learn new content and they are very clearly taking information from his website and trying to apply it to higher tiered raid fights...

TC is using all divines for armor traits in his current build

MagPlar Frenchman is best tank EU, u can learn from him.

Some people might just assume that damage mitigation also follows diminishing returns when it's the opposite and each point is worth more than the last. An extreme example would be going from 98% to 99% mitigation, yeah sure that is only 1% but that one point just halved your damage intake.

@@Hyperioxes yo if you test it will you give us your opinion on it? I've been trying it and it feels good on the small pieces

Reducing block cost is at MINIMUM 50% damage reduction. If you cant block, 1200 armor does NOT save you...

You use one harmony now. One synergy gives almost everything back. Max armor is nice, holding block is better.

Best race for DK tank?

Guess I have to gather transmute I need reinforce

b4 u read - i'm not pve player much, so i could "lack some view", but i have some Qs: 1) why u using 662 pen/res = 1% of mitigation? we for ages using in our pvp calculations straight 660. Like... why extra 2 or how u found it?) Also... mb ya know mb not but i'll ask here anyway. Target got 18 200 res. let's for the questions sake choose 1% mitigation = 660 res/pen. As far as I knew pen =( - res) and it's ez as that (i'd be fucking suprised if we got some hidden multipliers here, hope not). So assuming everything above - 18 200 = 27,(57)% mit Let's imagine i got exactly 27% pen which is 17 820. So in the end target got just 18 200 - 17 820 = 380 armour/res. Question is - will game recognize 0,(57)% of mitigation or not? Back in CP system 1.0 all after dot additions to stats from CP stars wan't recognized by game. But that's not a CP star tho i can't trust devs kinda to say for sure. 2) 6:47 - u r showing build on dk with horn and with saxhleel. Horn (250 Ult) =10 sec of mjF Saxhleel (250 Ult) = 16,(6) sec of mjF I've always though outta set description that's just necro support set to spam colossus. Since i've found extra 6,(6) seconds from saxhleel casting Horn (250 ult) now i wanna ask 2 things: a] are this extra 6,(6) sec are ... so needed? like i think there could be some other support dmg set's with unique bonuses and better time? b] ... or i misunderstood how set works and it do not rewrites Horns 10 sec by his own 16,(6) sec but summs both 10 sec and 16,(6) sec giving 26,(6) sec in result?

1) When I googled it I found results saying armor cap is 33.1k, you could be right and maybe it's wrong cuz I havent tested it myself but even if it is it's a very small difference. Yes the game recognizes even the smallest differences in armor, it doesn't ignore numbers after comma. 2) No, Saxhleel works the way you describe it, so if used with Horn at 250 it will last 16 seconds. It was our first day in DSR after a break and the point of the raid was just figuring out the comp (and we figured we're not gonna use DK to main tank Taleria), I was just following the spreadsheet and I guess our raid lead just copied our old setup where we had Necro MT

great tnx!! as for pen 660 or 662 - yeah, it's not that difference i'll literally cry about watching my excel spreadsheets. I'll work with 660 coz ez to calc)

You are right, it is 660 and not 662.

8:15 uhh bro, 90% of the damage could be frost, and 10 percent could be physical. If the physical hit is 80k, and the frost majority is 2k. The physical is more important. Blizzard avg damage, 240. The slaughter fish had more dps then most of the frost damage attacks. Imp > nord for sure. The only thing nord has going for it is the ulti gen, compared to QoL of imp.

It's all fun and games til them Sturdy tanks come across boss or adds that hit hard as fuck, even while blocking their attacks. Lol

No point in using sturdy if we can't block anyways XD

Ayo. Can you message me and let me know you're gear set up and traits for your Dk?? Please
