ESO Endless Archive Tank Build
ESO Endless Archive Tank Build Information
Welcome to The Tank Club’s Endless Archive Tank Build. This build should help you to progress through the harder stages of this new piece of content in The Elder Scrolls Online!
During Arc 1 and Arc 2 you might notice that it’s quite easy so playing a more Hybrid build such as our Accolade Dragonknight or Arcanist Spell Guard build will work really well to add both Damage and Tanking into one build.
As you progress to Arc 3 are onwards things will begin to hit much harder and playing a more Tanky build will be more important.
It’s worth noting that you should try to vision Tanking in Endless Archive a little different to other content as its just you and one other player, so you’ll need to rely on your own ability to survive and sustain and there is a bit less focus on providing a ton of buffs and benefits since you’re only giving them to one other player.

The gear options we’ve selected focus on giving us the best possible benefit while still offering a bit of utility to the other member of the group. Drake’s Rush will give a ton of Ultimate which means you’re able to Magma Shell more often for survival which also gives your teammate a damage shield, this will also give you a stack of resources via the Battle Roar passive.
Potentates also assists on this too with reducing the cost of your Ultimate. Pearlescent Ward provides a nice aura and big range DPS buff but it’s strength is in the survival tool it offers, giving a 66% damage reduction buff to either you or your teammate if one of you dies which can help you to recover a fight.
With space left for a Mythic, Bloodlord’s Embrace is an option as it gives a lot of Magicka and this is the biggest resource you’ll be needing, especially on the hard bosses and marauders.
Optionally you could use Archdruid for a great enemy debuff or Engine Guardian if you want something more for yourself. If you struggle for healing then the Master Weapons Puncturing Remedy will be a big assistance with that.
