Reminds me of deltia way back in the day talking about how bad the nb healer was. Funny thing was it was so overpowered it ended up getting nerfed. You were basically a 3rd dps who kept everyone alive and gave them buffs.
@@elderwiz3165 coverting your chains Over to magic and giving yourself the major vitality buff with the affix is crazy good on nb tank. Also the damage shield allows you to put the minor armor buff attached to it which free up a spell slot and gives you another 8% damage mitigation. The 3rd thing that can be good depending is having access to the aoe root ability which works with vatershran unlike the fear.
@@elderwiz3165 Well the allow you to provide group buffs you did not have before and the shields are amazing, NB lacking a burst heal sucks, so being able to pop a shield before dark cloak is very helpful
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.
@@Sparkrip not to mention major expedition, passive major armor buff, passive 5% mitigation from heal skill which frees up an affix on one of your scribed skills as well as a spell slot. And 50k health in meta gear setup
Dark cloak is garbage in any of the newer vet DLC hardmodes. There's so much movement in all the new dungeons. After U35 I switched out dark cloak for resolving vigor. A Nightblade that stands still??? -I mean where tf do they get this from? They should read their own in game class description.. Templars get a rune they can move around in or out of and come back.. NB can't move?? The most useless tank skill in the game.
@@elderwiz3165 lol even moving around dark cloak heals for alot. Path, dark cloak and syphoning strikes nets you 6100 health per second disregarding crits. All the tanks basically do the same thing you just play them different.
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.
I get what you're saying, but as a man in and out if trifecta runs and tanking for a raid team thats achievement hunting the hardest pve content in the game, i feel knowledgeable enough to provide my own take here: I agree with Hyperioxes. You are correct that Nightblade has access to several defensive buffs for itself, and access to major and minor cowardice. The issues lie with its self heal and survivability. In some (not all) fights, the damage you sustain will be monumental, and permablocking with cloak running and using siphoning attacks to refill your stamina just won't cut it. It sucks, because i very much enjoy nightblade tanking, but it just pales in comparison to what a dragonknight, sorcerer, arcanist, or necro tank can do. And when you compare it to a class like warden, warden beats it by a mile. Warden just provides much more utility and defense to the group, plus with the introduction of the scribing chain, all classes have major cowardice on the boss now. Templar is still worse than nightblade though, templar sadly is a joke right now. Literally nothing going for it other than fun paladin roleplay. The day they boost templar's tanking tool kit, is the day im on my Sovngarde Nord Paladin 247
@@andrewmicallef9679 respectfully.... I have more than half the Trifectas in the game on a NB tank. There is nothing wrong with the NB tank. I think people tend to over exaggerate what is really necessary to finish that level of content. Your self heal can come from scribing now as well, although I've never had a problem running Dark Cloak only, including 4-man sans healer.
@@cortexkiller3828 Dk is pretty fun in dd, tanking, and pvp. Im alt-aholic so def enjoying nb tanks and now arcanist tank to see how how it plays. Def though if going into tough content, I always fall back on dk tank. If you don't mind, what sets you run?
@@DragonBank when your average pug die from every mechanic in HM, I can assure you their are happy to get rez carried instead to reset the fight again and again. I obviously don't play that with my regular mate.
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.
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

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.

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
Hi Hyperioxes, i'm sorry to say that you've left things unmentioned in the Templar and that makes me very sad, in the DK it is mentioned that it has +1650 resistances but not the +1320 of the Templar, it also have +10% block bonus and also has Minor Protection that you get when you deal damage to an enemy with the Radiant Ward (and you always deal damage to an enemy when using the shield), it makes me quite sad that passives are omitted :(
I skipped things for every class, for example for Dragonknights I didnt mention the insane sustain they get from Combustion, their access to AoE heal and interrupt from Deep Breath, access to strong ground HoT Cinderstorm, access to Dragon Blood, etc. because the summaries were supposed to give just the general idea, but I did account for all of these things when placing each class on the tierlist
He missed the mark way off on NB. Also, as a solo class NB's are fantastic because of the passive self heals. But even tanking, I think NB has the best defensive kit in the game. He missed so much discussion about the NB defensive kit.
Doesn't Nightblade have the Major Cowardice from Aspect of Terror, Minor Cowardice from Power Extraction and Minor Maim from Summon Shade? Combining these with Frost Clench or a Major Maim set provides Nightblade access to all damage debuffs. It also has tank passives like Shadow Barrier and Dark Vigor, as well as Refreshing Shadows and Executioner for resource recovery.
I believe you dint mentioned 2 important things about NB ,the passive of Gaining 20 ultimate when drinking a potion and when casting a Siphoning ability gain 2 ultimate 4 sec cooldown I know tanks will be not spamming Siphoning Abilities but is a passive that would help toward faster ultimate
Dang I got 2x nb tanks feels bad man that they're bottom of totem pole. I use the one on my original main toon as tank/dps hybrid to farm dungeons. Survivable enough but orders backbar to help burn down enemies. That plus refreshing path speed buff for group atleast makes farming and rnd's go faster along with quick queue times of being any tank.
One thing I didn't mention was that combo of refreshing path, sap essence, and vate s&b is amazing. You don't need to taunt any trash as you're spamming aoe heals and killing things usually quickly.
Wait how is nightblade so low defensively considering it's the only class with Major Evasion, and both Cowardices, plus Major expedition + Sustain passives for group on top minor savagery. My biggest issue is bar slots but that's the issue warden has as well.

@@豺狼-t8n I don't mean trials, I understand in trials it's cooked I meant dungeons/4man.

I started tanking on necro, it was my only tank for year. Second one is arc, and this is like a breath of fresh air. Mobility, sustain, great self heal even without any burst heal skills, amount of buffs and debuffs, skills what can replace sets. Class armor and shield also have extra functions, which depends on cruxes. Feels like all-inclusive. I was great tank before arc, but this class made me fully bloom, i can be risky&frisky as dd, have healer-like hps, and still easy survive most things in vet content + buff and debuff. Now i making dk and sorc, just for fun and new playstyles. But arc tank stole my heart.
I came to ESO from WoW and expected Templars to be like protadins/tankadins. They are NOT. I don't even have a tank yet in ESO, though I've been playing for 3 years, and I did nothing BUT tank in WoW. But now I'm thinking maybe... magetank? Why not try Sorcerer tank? Glass cannon turned cannonball? Why not? :D Thanks!
Ranking everything in S tier just seems silly imo. Putting everything in A tier would make more sense then reserving the S tier for the most elite class to tank with.
I love Necro Tanking so much, I like support necro too, but Im enjoying tanking way more. I never die or even fall below 80% most of the time. Honestly dont need healers for most things with scythe plus wraith. P.S fucking NB tanks are so annoying, 1% are good tanks and the others are always sub 30% HP or dead most fights. So annoying.

@@GrobPlay I dont PvP so I have no clue how good Necro is in there, but PvE Necro has always been on top of tanking. I never die really. Never go under 90% due to lifesteal and self healing. We may have no inert shields but we take no dmg hardly.
Hello Mister Hyper, i hope you do not take this the wrong way but looking at your tier list anyone can tell that you are only ranking these classes out of an elitist PoV. Unlike me you've probably never tanked a !PUG! veteran Trial seriously once. If you would have you would have ranked Templar higher. The advantages of the fast ressurection together with the STRONG heal ult making you invicible by helping out your team aswell. Templar is THE BEST tank class and SHOULD deserve S RANK! Dragonknight should NOT be that high since you do NOT provide any healing for yourself really and for your group.........PLEASE STOP MAKING THESE TIER LISTS!!!!! they discourage me and other GREAT Tanks to even try and find a group in groupfinder that will accept THE BEST CLASS for tanking. If you see this message then please comment to help the spread of missinformation by big youtubers and their elitist friends!
He introduced this video with the important info that all tanks are at the most balanced state ever. As long as the tank does its job in a pug you shouldn't get kicked. Any content can be done with any class and I highly doubt that a pug goes for the hardest trials ingame.
I stopped watching around the 7:00 mark, as far as I’m aware you didn’t mention the great benefits nightblades get if they slot heavy armor with shadow abilities equipped, if I remember correctly… they can get 15% extra hp, which would be huge if they stack 64 points into health.
By the way you are talking, I can tell you are a noob instantly. Whoever are thinking about stacking max HP to as high as possible in PVE Tanking are noobs, period. I say it again, you DON'T need more than 45K Health in ESO Tanking under any circumstances., for good Tank players, 40K Max health is ideal. So Why you need so much health? Lets say you stack your Nightblade Tank's Max HP to 65K in vCR+3, do you realize how difficult it is for your healer to heal you back to full health in order to get rid of the huge debuff you get at execute phase? In newer content, The incoming damage you get is scaled to your Max health, meaning the more health you have, the more damage you taken, thus you are more likely to die if you have 60K health. LOL

This was a total hypothetical situation in that you can spec your character to how you see fit, no you don’t have to wear 23 pieces of heavy.
@@wangdawei5641and in those other situations where you don't take health based damage? Whats the point of dumping your survivability?

@@Bangilnel because high health means low stam..low stam limited ability to block and dodge in all vet trial and some dlc dun 38k~45k health can tank all thing.. and 65k+ tank alway die fast because they not stam block/dodge 1 heavry attack it 60~100k..
@@豺狼-t8n when I started with eso tanks were happy when the reached 20k stam so I wouldn't consider that low. And to reach 65k HP you'd have to drop buff sets which I wouldn't consider an option anyways.
I play all classes and all roles. My NB main tank is still feeling great! S+ tier, but probably because I spent so much time with it.. I think it's the same with the other classes, the ones you really know and master are the ones the best for you.

@@Hyperioxessick thank u!
Wait how is nightblade so low defensively considering it's the only class with Major Evasion, and both Cowardices, plus Major expedition + Sustain passives for group on top minor savagery. My biggest issue is bar slots but that's the issue warden has as well.
And forgot to mention the burst heal, that is a big deal tbf, but aside from that it has a bunch of tools to mitigate dmg in dungeons.
@@kevino.rivera2556 It’s just nb healer do it better , and arcanist class passive(circumvented fate) + ozezan monster set replaced nb main job .. mitigate dmg in pve , in pve dps and healer got dmg 80% is aoe so it 15%mitigate dmg close nb 2 cowardices and better survivability (arc dps/healer is meta)and ozezan(Minor Vitality )
@@豺狼-t8n I don't mean trials, I understand in trials it's cooked I meant dungeons/4man. My only guess is that access to cowardice is more readily available now thanks to the new skills, aside from that nightblade is still hella strong at just getting tons of hots and buffing/debuffing defensively for itself (unless you count cowardice as group debuff, which yeah).
@@kevino.rivera2556 same reason ...I mean meta is 3 arcanist have 24k health + 12k almost permanent shield ,no healer and clean all dungeon(HM/Trifecta) now dps very tanks + damage too high so defensively buff is no need for these at all..
@@kevino.rivera2556 and if u still need this buff nb healer do it still better so nb tank still worse than a damage buff tank
May I ask, what helmet motif are you using for your nightblade?
So all in all im fairly safe with my DK tank? Lol
hello. Where can I find the motifs for the sets that you are using in the examples for background>?
sa
do you have another channel that reviews skyrim mods?? i recall seeing one awhile ago and recall your voice definitely sounds like that reviewer...
I've never played Skyrim
All of Arcanist's scaling is completely busted it's like they intentionally made the class overpowered as they do with all classes they add but then forgot to nerf it when the next chapter launched.
Tehát még mindig a dk a legjobb tank!

Can anyone give me any tips for a DK build for just a two man team the other person will most likely be a sorcerer for DPS and I was wondering is there I can make a DK with good DPS too
I’ll save everyone the trouble. Necro tanking is unrivaled.
Love my imperial dk he just don’t die
Arcanist tank - one love. And necro too.
Whats the antler helmet in the thumbnail called?
Bloodroot heavy
Do you think that Nightblade should be higher in the list?
Definitely! It now super easy to play. It used to be "hard" because of weaving etc.. But that's all gone. You just have to keep a dot going and all is good.
@@elderwiz3165 your still rewarded with 1400 heath and 200 magic and stamina per second if you weave. Luckily weaving is hard wired in my muscle memory even on my tank so it's no problem for me
@@flonyme8174 Leeching/Siphoning strikes doesn't require anything except keeping a dot up. Caltrops for example...
@@elderwiz3165 true if you run a dot it will take care of it for you. I run kind of a weird build. No dots running for me. For most that's great though :-)
@LeeNordTank ❤ Best nb tank ever!
what is arcanist armor name pls i beg
Why did I have to level 3 non dragon knight tanks first, leveling tanks sucks
They level a lot faster due to shorter queue times. Don't know what you mean, tanks are the fastest and easiest to level for sure.
@@elderwiz3165 i don't know man tanking for randoms really sucks especially since everyone in normal dungeons do a combined DPS of like 15k
@@Matt-Faire When levelling, randoms is the way to go, with random gear found on the ground. Just queue up for your daily dungeon and BG plus do your writs every day and you'll be level 50+ in a week. Of course you can also power level with crafted training gear, XP scrolls, events and spam random dungeons and BGs. Then you're 50+ in just a day.
Can I get outfit armor for necro and nightblade please❤
I started tanking on necro, it was my only tank for year. Second one is arc, and this is like a breath of fresh air. Mobility, sustain, great self heal even without any burst heal skills, amount of buffs and debuffs, skills what can replace sets. Class armor and shield also have extra functions, which depends on cruxes. Feels like all-inclusive. I was great tank before arc, but this class made me fully bloom, i can be risky&frisky as dd, have healer-like hps, and still easy survive most things in vet content + buff and debuff.
Now i making dk and sorc, just for fun and new playstyles. But arc tank stole my heart.
I came to ESO from WoW and expected Templars to be like protadins/tankadins. They are NOT. I don't even have a tank yet in ESO, though I've been playing for 3 years, and I did nothing BUT tank in WoW. But now I'm thinking maybe... magetank? Why not try Sorcerer tank? Glass cannon turned cannonball? Why not? :D Thanks!
I've created Sorctank recently and i must say, it's pretty good and cool too
what's the name of that armor on dragonknight in the video?

@@Hyperioxes ty
Ranking everything in S tier just seems silly imo. Putting everything in A tier would make more sense then reserving the S tier for the most elite class to tank with.
I love Necro Tanking so much, I like support necro too, but Im enjoying tanking way more. I never die or even fall below 80% most of the time. Honestly dont need healers for most things with scythe plus wraith.
P.S fucking NB tanks are so annoying, 1% are good tanks and the others are always sub 30% HP or dead most fights. So annoying.
didn't player teso for 2 years,and i had necro tank as main,it was pretty fun.But now as i read,pplz says currently necro class is very mehhh...worst in pvp,bad is dd,and just ok as tank ( sad (
@@GrobPlay I dont PvP so I have no clue how good Necro is in there, but PvE Necro has always been on top of tanking. I never die really. Never go under 90% due to lifesteal and self healing. We may have no inert shields but we take no dmg hardly.
false, my nightblade tank is damn near unkillable in PVE and PVP if I focused that BUT... it is work lol
Using tanks on the free classes so I can quickly queue lol

new arcanist guide when :v
Not soon, I know my last Arc guide is from a year ago but there hasn't been enough changes
Ive taken my Templar to Arc 12 solo in IA so I wouldnt exactly say they are C tier but not a bad video overall.
*Like this comment if you agree with the list.*
Hello Mister Hyper, i hope you do not take this the wrong way but looking at your tier list anyone can tell that you are only ranking these classes out of an elitist PoV. Unlike me you've probably never tanked a !PUG! veteran Trial seriously once. If you would have you would have ranked Templar higher. The advantages of the fast ressurection together with the STRONG heal ult making you invicible by helping out your team aswell. Templar is THE BEST tank class and SHOULD deserve S RANK! Dragonknight should NOT be that high since you do NOT provide any healing for yourself really and for your group.........PLEASE STOP MAKING THESE TIER LISTS!!!!! they discourage me and other GREAT Tanks to even try and find a group in groupfinder that will accept THE BEST CLASS for tanking.
If you see this message then please comment to help the spread of missinformation by big youtubers and their elitist friends!
He introduced this video with the important info that all tanks are at the most balanced state ever.
As long as the tank does its job in a pug you shouldn't get kicked.
Any content can be done with any class and I highly doubt that a pug goes for the hardest trials ingame.
I stopped watching around the 7:00 mark, as far as I’m aware you didn’t mention the great benefits nightblades get if they slot heavy armor with shadow abilities equipped, if I remember correctly… they can get 15% extra hp, which would be huge if they stack 64 points into health.
By the way you are talking, I can tell you are a noob instantly. Whoever are thinking about stacking max HP to as high as possible in PVE Tanking are noobs, period. I say it again, you DON'T need more than 45K Health in ESO Tanking under any circumstances., for good Tank players, 40K Max health is ideal. So Why you need so much health? Lets say you stack your Nightblade Tank's Max HP to 65K in vCR+3, do you realize how difficult it is for your healer to heal you back to full health in order to get rid of the huge debuff you get at execute phase? In newer content, The incoming damage you get is scaled to your Max health, meaning the more health you have, the more damage you taken, thus you are more likely to die if you have 60K health. LOL
@@wangdawei5641 you’re totally right, I mainly focus on my DD character, but love to learn more about classes and abilities when he goes into a deep dive, knowing what I know I brought this information to light, I’m sure others will do the same for me”their” classes. This was a total hypothetical situation in that you can spec your character to how you see fit, no you don’t have to wear 23 pieces of heavy.
@@wangdawei5641and in those other situations where you don't take health based damage?
Whats the point of dumping your survivability?
Most tanks argue they'd rather put their points in other resources for better sustain but especially on NB you have great sustain anyways so why don't go the convenience route to allow for some more mistakes?
@@Bangilnel because high health means low stam..low stam limited ability to block and dodge in all vet trial and some dlc dun 38k~45k health can tank all thing.. and 65k+ tank alway die fast because they not stam block/dodge 1 heavry attack it 60~100k..
@@豺狼-t8n when I started with eso tanks were happy when the reached 20k stam so I wouldn't consider that low.
And to reach 65k HP you'd have to drop buff sets which I wouldn't consider an option anyways.
Is the audio ok?? 😮😮
we need a clannfear comeback 😤
We need a clannfear go away!
It taking up two slots was always a huge bummer for me enjoying sorc tanking.
Hardened ward is such a great skill I don't miss the clannfear on tank.
Maining an NB ever since 2014, these tier lists make me sad.
All of those PVE oriented.
I play all classes and all roles. My NB main tank is still feeling great! S+ tier, but probably because I spent so much time with it.. I think it's the same with the other classes, the ones you really know and master are the ones the best for you.
@@Valion we can thank ZoS for letting NB be the worst class in pve for 3 years straight
@Hyperioxes: I hope you know your videos are getting people kicked out of pugs for being the "wrong" class.
It's the pug leader's problem
Tanks don't get kicked easily.. That 30+ minute wait to get another one makes them think twice.
