ESO Arena Tank Information

Group arena content in ESO has become significantly easier due to the power creep and the substantial increase in both damage and defense that players now possess. As a result, tackling arenas like Blackrose Prison and Dragonstar Arena has shifted towards builds focused on group buffing and burst damage to eliminate enemies swiftly. The primary goal in these arenas is to stack enemies, burn them down quickly, and defeat bosses efficiently.

ESO Arena Tank Scribed Skills

This build incorporates scribing skills, which are by far the best options to use in this environment. Below is the recommended setup for scribed skills to maximize their benefits in Arena content.

Focus Script: Pull
Deals ? Magic Damage to an enemy, pulls them to you, and taunts them for 15 seconds if they are not already taunted.

Signature Script: Druid’s Resurgence
Restores 1000 Magicka and 1000 Stamina.

Affix Script: Vitality
Grants Major Vitality for 10 seconds, increasing healing received and damage shield strength by 12%.

A Magicka-costing skill that pulls enemies, taunts them, and returns resources, replacing the need for Silver Leash. This skill is beneficial for all classes, as it allows tanks to use Magicka to cast the skill, which then returns Stamina, aiding in overall sustain. Additionally, it provides a Major buff or debuff; you can choose one that suits your build’s needs. Two excellent options are Major Vitality for increased healing received and Major Cowardice to reduce enemy damage output.

Focus Script: Immobilize
Immobilizes enemies for 3 seconds.

Signature Script: Hunter’s Snare
Reduces the Movement Speed of enemies by 30% for 6 seconds.

Affix Script: Minor Resolve
Grants Minor Resolve for 20 seconds, increasing Physical and Spell Resistance by 2974.

An accessible potential immobilization skill which is available for all classes. The primary focus is on its AoE, 360-degree immobilization, opening up new crowd control opportunities for classes that previously lacked this option. The other scripts used on this skill can vary depending on what your build is missing, allowing you to customize it to fit your specific needs.
