ESO Tank Gear Guide 2024 

You and your website have become a significant haven for me. What I run on my Sorcerer tank is 5 pieces Catalyst, because I love how engaging and impactful it is, and light armor, and Crimson Oath on my backbar to proc it with my armor buff. As a monster set I use the Arch Druid and then either Death Dealers Fete, Esoteric Greaves (broken against bosses with few adds) or just a Trainee piece. I like to play my tank more as a battlemage, and I combine this with Altmer for the 5% damage reduction whilst heavy attacking. (Thanks to my big shield, I can just shake off all damage, and only need to block the most dangerous attacks that have a cc attached to them) This makes me very self sufficient, as I need no healer or self healing in any vet dungeons or trials, and often I even use the Twilight Matriarch to heal allies.

I've gotten almost all of my Vet Dungeon achievements on my tank thanks to your videos and advice. A lot of Tri-runs the first time trying some dungeons on vet, too.

I think these are very good sets for coordinated raids. However when pugging in random vet dungeons, wearing selfish sets were always easier for me as a tank. People not knowing mechanics and dying/wiping it's better to stay alive and res people than starting over even if it takes longer to kill the bosses. Tanking is the hardest job in ESO

For harder content, staying alive is the most important goal I have in tanking and most are Pickup Groups where you don't have coordination and everyone else is just trying to do stuff as fast as possible. If your're dead, you can't tank anymore and unless someone rezzes you, the group wipes. Your suggestions are almost all about buffing damage and if you have a group that you know all the roles and heals and buffs are there, and it works, that's ok. But after tanking for years as my primary role, I find it is best to be armored up and buff armor and health. Presently, in harder content, I use Hatchling's Shell, Imperium and Lord Warden or Mighty Chudan if necessary, on head and shoulders. Also, if I am at 50% health in a group, I'm gonna be dead soon so those sets that kick in at 50% are pretty much worthless. I still love all the insights you give for tanking and obviously, you are on a level that everyday, hard-working tanks haven't achieved.

Drake's rush is a another good set

Yeah tank is hard I'm a new player but at least they bring me in when I'm trying to do random dungeons I got a DPS build and all I do is wait and when you do mess up they let you know don't they usually by kicking you I'm glad I'm bald headed nice video thank you give me something to go for

I would always have engine guardian (monster set) by my side.

wow so nothing has changed in the last year that’s crazy and cool if i decide to come back cause i still have all those set. you’re videos are great! thank you

Thank you :)

Thank you 🙏

Love The Tank Club

I've been lucky as a new player as have Had good friends that have played for a long time. helping with getting gear for my warden tank

Claw orfYoln was a staple tank set a few years back. Is it time to delete it now that I have all the other sets in your video? No mention of Magma Incarnate monster set. Delete it too?

So it's safe to deconstruct my Gold Aegis of Galenwe set? I farmed it after watching one of your original videos years ago. I still have Ebon for niche scenarios, but Tormentor got deleted after the last patch. I literally cannot keep all tank sets I might need to use on my tank (along with the necessary potions and foods) in the inventory of one character.

I've been dreading to do dsr, its so long.. But now I see that I need to for both dps and tank...

Re: Pearlescent Ward For the damage reduction when group members die - is that on all group members that are still alive, or just on self (Tank)?

How do you know whether sets affect group members or not if not specificslly stated? Such as Torug's Pact 5th bonus doesn’t include "group" in it. And how do you know if sets will crit or not?

Yee yee yee !

I’m trying to get my tank ready for vbrp any advise on sets and if I should have a healer and if so what sets or just use 3 dps?

Golden Lucent Echoes gives 15% crit damage, doesn't it?

I'm supprised yoln wasn't added to this list. Is it not used as much?

This video-resource is so good that it's actually depressing. Tanks in ESO exist to taunt (a task so devoid of challenge that a monkey could do it) and to inflate the DPS's undeserved egos. *_None of that for me:_* Pariah, Leeching & Mighty Chudan's. And if you want to do more damage, try sucking less ass... Maybe if I'm feeling generous I'll throw on Nunatak's, and maintain Major & Minor Brittle; as it would be unreasonable to expect the DPS to provide either debuff, while still earning their own numbers. *_But don't be like me._* Follow guides like this and do as the Devs command; cucking yourself and coddling the DPS. And always res them when they die to easily avoidable damage. Cause god-forbid they learn from their mistakes.

I kinda hate how limiting PvE is tbh
