I was suprised NB tank was so low on the beginner friendly list until I realized how hard carried mine is by scribing

[cortexkiller]

DK is my main as both tank n dd - peeps keep telling me to try tankin on other classes but I'm really liking DK so not likely to change over

[Miss_Dizzy]

Really good breakdown of the classes and their aptitudes

[flonyme]

I have both dk and nb. I prefer nb for any 4 man content. 50k health in trial set, tt, 2 piece weapon set, and boss set. I have access to 14k health per second not taking in to consideration crits. Im speedy and can keep the group flyjng with path oh and not to mention infinite resources via syphoning strikes with no drawback when combined with your shadow heal. Its way more fun to play compared to my dk. You also passively get your major armor buff which frees up your bar. Ive done every hm dungeon in the game and its always wau easier on my nb.

The GOD of Tanks Ranking! Great video! Keep on keeping on brother 🔥

Love my necro tank, as well as necro healer. They can nerf dps as much as they want for any class, I don't play dd role at all, but I guess for dd mains some buffs are more than welcome change. I still haven't tried tanking with templar, sorc and arcanist but all other classes have their flavor and specific utilities for specific content, and I like them all, but necro is the best. No idea about scribing, I don't have Gold Road but I doubt I'll change my mind XD

Great video! Personally i do think nightblade tank is quite easy to stay alive in. i have a 9k hot when im standing still and 3.5k when you move a little. you can also learn to tick time which makes you essentially double the hot strength. while there are a lot of fights that make you move around there arent that many that dont let you stay still for a few seconds to make your hp go up then start moving again. Ive done taleria hm as well as yas hm on blade and to be honest it was significantly easier holding both of those bosses on my blade than the other classes the only time it felt like I was about to die was during the movement phase of taleria. but during the stationary phase the massive hot just makes the dot dmg trivial. But thats just the survivability aspect i do agree they don't have much to bring to the team since the only thing they had (major cowardice) can now be applied to a chain. so I agree with the placement just not that they are harder to tank on.

Nice video. I’ve only ranked with Warden so far but I have leveled an Arcanist and Night Blade

[Roogy_Raja]

Great video, thank you for the precision in your content

[TheRoibm]

We need a different Icon to display Sorc Tanks. Clanfear is just kinda useless rn. And my Sorc tank is called Clara Clanfear, which is even worse.

[britishblue]

Kind of funny to watch this when i started eso i had a templar tank and i suffered so much in veteran dungeons and trials i always had to off tank in trials. but when i switched to DK it made so much of a difference i've tanked so much through that and i can use other sets which will compliment my group

[SurfGroups]

Hyperioxes is the best place for eso tanking content along the tank club. Keep up the great work!

[AnthonyMarceau]

Templar with rez perk, rez passive and Kagrenac is a rez machine that can carry pug trough all dg, I love playing that in pug, very fun.

[hellbender]

I still play NB tank. I hope the19th changes really help more.

[Bangilnel]

Don't underestimate necros ability to revive the whole group in a dungeon if you play with randoms or players without a lot of experience

[emilypumpkinseller]

awesomely laid out and explained video

[ginadau]

what you mentioned about warden tanks v warden healers applies the same to nightblade. All the buffs and debuffs can be provided by a nb healer, and honestly, in a trial setting it's way better for a nb to be in a healer position (provided there's a warden healer already), than tank or dd, cause of insane ultigen (paired with pillagers and pearls) and magica flood.
Anyway, based vid, hyper

[Mark-qjkp]

Damn, here I was stoked to play as a Nightblade solo PVE player lol

[IcarusIsCalling]

I feel like you missed a ton on Nightblade Tanks that kept them from doing better. They honestly have the best defensive kit, not the worst. Easiest access to Maj Evasion/Min Resolve/Maj Resolve/Min Protection. After the next patch you are going to get three of those buffs from a single skill cast for 18 seconds. A roll dodge cost reduction to help with positioning, and AOE Maj/Min Cowardice. Many people underestimate Cowardice in PvE but due to how mob damage skills it actually outperforms Maim in a lot of content (like IA). You also missed that Nightblades are the only class that can permablock/sustain with just the tools in their kit thanks to the changes to siphoning/leeching strikes. You can literally just hold block and continue to cast siphoning/leeching as your resources near depletion. There is a health cost but with a healer you will never notice it. Lastly you missed that NB's have some of the best ulti gen in the game. This is great for high warhorn/nazaray uptimes. There are other great skills in the NB kit I haven't even got to, like refreshing path.
