Hey guys! New member here to the forums and I am looking for a little helping creating this build. I want to be a Melee DPS/Tank with 2h and sword and board while being able to summon pets. I was a huge fan of this type of build in Oblivion and Skyrim and I would like to incorporate this to ESO! Please any help would be astounding! I have no idea what I am doing with these character builders. I don't know what I do and don't need without being able to play till the next beta or launch. =/

h t t p : / / skills.tesotoolsDOTcom/#ct4t7cfurz5o7xx

I've never attempted this type of build before

let me go to esohead and see what I can whip up

Welcome to the forums!

Let's try this one:

It's a tank build, and focuses on heavy armour. It has CC, a winged twilight to help with Magicka regeneration, Storm Atronach ultimate, a taunt,and passives to keep your mitigation less costly and provide damage reduction with shields and stuff.

It is particularly hard because bound armor + a summon will reduce your magicka by 20%

This build won't be all that great in ESO imo. I am not saying it WILL svck .. just saying it may svck, so you may want to rethink.

Thank you so much! I wasn't sure if I should go with medium armor for DPS or Heavy for survivability! This is awesome!

If you tank, mobs are attracted to people in higher armour ratings, so I would suggest heavy armor. In heavy armour though you lack the regeneration light armour has, and those two abilities will reduce your magicka too

For more dps you could try using 2-handed instead of 1h and shield from the last build. Momentum is quite a good skill combine that with uppercut-dizzy swing and some of the passives..yum.

So this is my potential DPS build with a 2 hander after spending a lot more time reading about all the skills available. I would be using a Hammer for the Ignore Armor effect. I think this build has a lot to offer but we will see. Haha, this is coming from someone who has no idea what they are doing tbh.. lol.

Anyone mind giving this build a critique?

Edit: had to re post link because I forgot to change my Race to Dark Elf.

im making something similar op.

A 2 handed lightning nord , i take all the wepon boosting skills the sorc line has to offer , and nice very nice snair they have and a summon for passive regen

I searched PTS forums, I didn't see anything substantive to report, some people theorized something similar, I see nothing about how it turned out.

This is a 100% updated build as I had a bunch of wasted skill points in random things that I didn't realize were there. Here is the new and last link..

I posted this to another websites forum that I am on a lot and copied it from there so sorry about this odd color if anyone else can see it. =/

This build has a lot of damage potential I feel like. You have one constant summoned pet up and then when you gather enough Ultimate charge you slam down your Atronach. This build concentrates on the use of a Two Handed weapon, preferably a Mace or Hammer for the 'Ignore 80 Armor' ability that the Heavy Weapons passive supplies.

Basically my idea is that you run in and activate Rally, then you proceed to spam Carve and using Shattering Prison when necessary to keep your enemies rooted and in close range of each other to maximize Carve. The Dark Magic passives allow for increased damage and root duration of Shattering Prison. This will allow for more DPS as the longer SP is on a player, the more damage that Exploitation can allow with it's +15% chance to crit. Unholy Knowledge is kind of a given. This build needs as much Stamina/Magicka regen that it can get its hands on.

The Daedric Summoner passive's explain themselves I am pretty positive so I won't go into them.

After you charge in, root, spam carve, (possibly ult) and get them to 50% HP or lower, then it's time to start using Executioner. The lower your opponents health is, the more damage that this ability will do, and it can be quite an insane finisher.

I felt like all of the Two Handed weapon passive abilities were too valuable to pass up so I maxed them all out. Same goes (almost) for the Medium Armor tree. Evasion and Sneak were completely useless for what I want out of my character so I ignored those and picked up and maxed out all of the other passive skills under Medium Armor. Crit chance, stamina regen, attack speed, and dodge stamina reduction all seemed 100% necessary so it's self explanatory as to why I picked those up as well.

To min/max this build I went with Dark Elf (happens to be my normal ES race) with their increase to max Stamina and Magicka along with there increase to overall Magicka. I am unclear if the bonus Spell Power to fire effects counts towards Fire weapon enchants, but if it does I would pick that up too more than likely.


So this is what I have been tinkering around with after actually getting the time to sit down and study the build I would like to play. Anyone have any thoughts? I can't wait till actual launch so I can really play this build and fine tune it.

Bump for critique!

Either way, Daedric mine field ftw.

You have to understand that TESO is an MMORPG and it's a risky business to be up close a lot in PvP but whatever floats your boat. But I think it's not a good build for TESO. Try a staff or something if you want to summon Daedra.
