If you want to get powerful Elder Scrolls Online weapons, you will need a really good tank. Why? To get you through the difficult bosses holding these powerful Elder Scrolls Online items of course! Today’s guide will look at the Unstoppable Force tank build for Dragonknights that can help you get those gear.
Taunting with Elder Scrolls Online armor effects
As a tank, your primary task is to build of threat and get enemy aggro. The Puncture (Pierce Armor) skill is this build’s primary taunting ability. With your Elder Scrolls Online weapons you damage the enemy and taunt them for 15 seconds. Note that the morph of this ability also weakens the physical and spell resistance of the target.
Another skill used to grab the enemies’ attention is Spiked Armor (Volatile Armor). While it is does not directly taunt enemies, its damage dealt upon activation builds up a lot of threat. As enemies start attacking you, damage is reflected onto them causing you to draw more aggro. Thankfully, this skill also increases armor and spell resistance so you can take on all that damage.
Slamming Elder Scrolls Online armor against enemies
Even if enemies move about, it is still a tank’s job to get aggro on them. To get to them, the Unstoppable Force build uses Shield Charge (Shielded Assault). This causes your Dragonknight to rush and slam into the target. The skill causes damage and stuns the enemy. The morph is also taken as it gives a damage shield after dealing damage to the enemy.
Once your character has closed the gap, it can then use Dark Talons (Burning Talons). This will immobilize nearby enemies. The morph is taken to deal damage over time to these targets, further increasing the threat your tank will generate.
Keeping your Elder Scrolls Online armor wearer alive
Tanks need to be constantly healed. Sometimes however, your healer might be too busy. At this point, you will need Dragon Blood (Green Dragon Blood). This will heal your character while also increasing health and stamina regen.
For dealing damage, aside from using your Elder Scrolls Online weapons, the ultimate can be used. In this case Dragonknight Standard (Standard of Might). The latter deals fire damage to enemies near it while also reducing the amount of healing they receive. In true tank fashion, the morph reduces damage received by allies near the standard.
