Been using this for a long time on my dungeon tank. Halfway through City of Ash II the rest didn't know they needed to kill the adds for Urata. Healer went down first, the other two weren't far behind. I tried to die to reset. As long as I was facing the boss, standing there doing _nothing,_ I Could Not Die! Had to turn around to give them flank hits before they could kill me. Gotta love it!
@@chrisw1462 that's what happened to me as well 🤣😂. Love this build, I soloed cloudrest not knowing it was a group encounter. Cleared the first room solo then left.
Beautiful work. If I was a tank this would be what I would be aiming for - tough and beefy to the point of immortality. Thanks for the great work that you keep consistently churning out!
Oh, I predicted the crimson oath set, but for group damage I expected to see turning tide + nazaray. Anyway, amazing video, love this build and its variations!
There are many sets you can craft or farm for that will get you along. Leeching isn't hard to farm neither is crimson. I would actually just get some one to craft you a few sets to get you used to a tank build before worrying about meta sets Beekeeper, plague Doctor, Torugs pact, Ebon, Worms Raiment to name a few
I like this this build, but I think using an ice staff in the back bar will be better, you can block with an ice staff using stamina if you do not unlock the first destruction staff passive.
more or less new to playing ESO. just started playing a little more than casually but is this an end game build that is requiring high level gear? like legendaries only?
Legendary is a quality choice, not a gear type, the gear can be aquired at any level. The build is designed to tank ANYTHING in the game no matter how hard the content is and does it extremely well. 5 year old build STILL nailing it :) All information you need is in the video but there is a written guide in the desctiption also if you want to know gear locations rather than just the options themselves.
do i just need the ascending tide dlc, or do i need somthing else beside the guild and glory pack because i havet hose dlcs at least, and do i need to make my character a vampire, is there an alternative?
The written page isnt explaining this build too well. Its missing the group damage version for one, and the traits listed on there are not matching what is seen in the video. Then the video doesnt show them all so its hard to know the complete build.
I didn't say you didn't watch the video carefully. I said you didn't ''listen'' carefully. Restart the video again with sound on and don't skip anything. You will find every single answer for your every single question IN the video or if you don't like watching stuff, you can find every information about the build at xynodegaming.com/. I'm not giving you certain minute or second for you to skip everything again and get to do the point you will find one single information that you want (which you will never understand why if you skip everything until that part you want).
@@robharter5813 if that's what you think, then it ain't me who's wrong.. According to the tooltip of the armor, you gotta block that enemy to get magicka back
I remember seeing this build for the first time during the Morrowind update. Kinda crazy just how beefy it's gotten over the years. Keen on seeing where this one goes!
Yo, i started morrowind patch, and easy sorc was my goal! Now i solo dsa on norm, majority of the dungeons, etc. Xynode is a huge part of my success. My 1st tank was his build, dk with lekis and orgnum scales i think lol.
Yet again, another piece of art Sensei. Which race would you recommend if i wanted to use this DK as both Magicka DD and Tank? (with the armory system i mean)
I've not played a Tank yet in ESO and also haven't created a Dragonknight so i thought why not try both? However as someone who hasn't actually reached end game yet or or even level 50 i'm stuck confused in most of these guides as it seems like everything talked about is only for people at end-game like 150cp. Is there any guide or tips on what to do while leveling? Say i create a dragonknight, get him to level 10 so i can start doing dungeons, what skills should i focus on early on and so on. Or should i just play a dragon knight whatever i feel like and ignore this video completely until i'm near end game and then look at this guide? From all videos i watch on tips etc. they all say as a new player you shouldn't even look at gear until 150CP and being that this build seems so gear dependent i get impression that there isn't much i can do until end game for following this guide. I wish there was a beginner guide i can follow while leveling then i can switch to this one when it's time to get my gear setup
How do we make the armor and weapons look different I would like to know before I do something I will regret I want the tankeness but I won't my one fastion style please let me know before I destroy the armor and weapons
When you get to lvl 15 you get another bar for other weapon and skills so you can use two weapons during fight. Front bar is first weapon and back bar is second weapon.
I made my tank build years ago and I’m just getting back into the game. I’m afraid I may have ruined my build. It has a ton of stamina and health. Idk what I’m doing over here
All classes have been able to play all roles since the release of the game. The tag line for the game is literally "Any class Any race Any role". Before morrowind? GG, this original build was released in One tamriel, and has been getting updates for 6 years ;)
mmm pretty decent but my templar tank is 61k hp, 33k resist and infinite stamina thanks to repentance. Temps are the new meta tank IMO but I will try this on my DK
@@runkorko what classes do you have to support your claim. I have 9 toons and 4 are tanks. Templar with infinite health and stamina from consecrate and crazy self healing means you can put champion points in other areas. I dont have to have piece each piece of my gear enchanted with reduce cost of block if i dont want to and my block cost is still at 439. As long as you have turning tide and dropping boss resistance with back bar ice staff and your main taunt they are the best main tank. They are also the only class that can use tormenter set for easy daily veterans and can taunt an entire pull with one button and keep each mob taunted for 15 seconds without it running to the party. No other class can run half the dungeon and keep everything taunted on the tank and bring everything to a corner and let the group AoE it down.
@@runkorko standing in your own rune focus on the backbar heals for 4k per second. Thats the same as leeching set 5 piece from just a skill with a 20 second duration and free to cast. Repentance also if u want which gives 4k health and stamina back per corpse on the ground, all bosses summon adds and each mob pull in 4 mobs or more. Thats 16k healthband stamina back from just 1 button on the back or front bar for free. Standing in your own extended ritual thay last for 24 seconds heals you and the entire group for 2k a second. Your at 6k health per second without a healer. It is the best sustain class. Throw in radiant ward shield for an average of 23k shield and its the most OP tank as long as your dropping the boss resistance and blocking boss heavy attacks. You never die.
@@Lboogieboog i know, stil less hps than necro or dk, will be less than NB even, after u35 changes. Also outside trials you hardly stand still as tank / pvp or dlc dungeons/
I was told I was inefficient and selfish for wearing any build with leeching. I have been running around with Galenwe body and leeching weapons and jewelry with Bogdan's Nightflame or Sentinel for a long time. Got called trash by someone in the Facebook group.
yea they are the selfish ones. the job of a tank it to stay alive - hold the boss - pull ads - then give buffs. this setup does that. So may selfish DPS players want the tanks to give buffs first. that is fine if you have a strong healer for the tank but then the DPS don't get heals.
Lol they r right no real group is gonna take a tank in winters and leaching ever.. dummy’s think this does any good a real tank will wear actual tank sets and still survive lol
@@orianalexander1671 but as a tank, you will not have any problems doing all of that without a selfish build. A correctly set up tank with proper gear can do that fairly easily. Ebon and worm's in the begining will give you good stats but also buff the group. Drake's Rush is also a good set, far superior to leeching. Leeching just give you a pillow to sleep on and develop bad habits when it comes to resource management. It is better to learn this from an early stage, than try to unlearn at higher CP and harder content.
Great video you went through a lot of detail to get it right the one thing you forgot to let us know is what fucking race is your character that’s very important and you left it out
Been using this build for over a year, I don't wanna tank without it, it's so good 👍

Thank u for your continued hard work. Helps a newcomer such as myself to have a solid PvE tank build to go thru the game. Appreciate ya!
Tried watching. But all I could focus on was the eyes blinking at different speeds 😮
Amazing one of the best vids yet to the point , well explained
Forgot to mention, you are no longer a vampire with this build. Did it hold well?
Oh, I predicted the crimson oath set, but for group damage I expected to see turning tide + nazaray. Anyway, amazing video, love this build and its variations!
I still prefer turning tide in most situations
Do you have starter videos I appreciate the end game build but beginning is what I'm looking for
Amazing guide Tnx, I’ve used your old tank for year and love it. Time for an upgrade
But this build can pvp tank ????
I'll have to give this a try though I have a question what are your thoughts on defender with leeching?
What you running on the jewllery ?? Infused mag recovery ?? Look into reduced cost
I still run this set up since day 1.
5 years ago. :) thank you again.
Start watching the Video now. I'm a New Player, are there any Budget Alternatives (Gear) I can use until I can buy or farm the Gear in the Video?
There are many sets you can craft or farm for that will get you along. Leeching isn't hard to farm neither is crimson. I would actually just get some one to craft you a few sets to get you used to a tank build before worrying about meta sets
Beekeeper, plague Doctor, Torugs pact, Ebon, Worms Raiment to name a few
Say you dont take unrelenting Grip and revealing flare, what do you think about Silver Leash and Circle of Protection instead?

planning to try out ESO. Is this a recommended first class build? I main and love tanking in every mmo!
I use to have a character called Tank Azz I love to tank to my friend. I love to tank to.
Tanking is rough as far as progression through the story but DK have plenty of damage skills to get you through
Tanking in eso is really fun I haven't tried this build but leeching I have tried its an incredibly fun set
This build still good??
do i just need the ascending tide dlc, or do i need somthing else beside the guild and glory pack because i havet hose dlcs at least, and do i need to make my character a vampire, is there an alternative?
The Charged trait with Leeching was an amazing tip for sustain!

The written guide is to supplement the video not replace it. However i will look into the errors. Appreciate the feedback thank you :)
@@xynodegaming in the video for damage output it appears you had all divine traits, and all healthy enchants?
Newb tank here, so I apologize if it's a dumb question.. Using Bloodlord's Embrace, we are assuming that we are blocking constantly right?

I like the concept. Never cared for the idea that a dk tank should be running a staff on the back bar. Which of these would you suggest for trials?
Shipwrights regret hard mode guide when? Can you also give a update on Stam DK when you get a chance please.
How would you go about levelling a DK tank as a brand new player? No crafting sets unlocked, literally day 1
You equip a sword and shield and heavy armor and tank
How's it going so far. And are you PC or console?

Where in England are you from?
How do you make the menu text for console menu smaller texts
Is there an alternate monster set ?
magma incarnate
Spaming ash cloud for unlimited stamina is getting patched
What's the tower shield and how can I get one?
I use this build its fun are you going to update ?
Doesn't need an update works absolutely fine as it is. Patch didn't affect it
Does this work using a dark elf?
My favourite
Whats the resistance cap?
Hi I’m new to the game. Can someone explain what ‘double bar’ means?
When you get to lvl 15 you get another bar for other weapon and skills so you can use two weapons during fight. Front bar is first weapon and back bar is second weapon.
How does this work with solo and companion?
This is not designed for solo, it's a tank.
However if you take a companion, they can hit stuff for you ;)
Is this build still good
What race is this build
What race it is?
Can you do one for this dlc please?
