ESO Main Tank Builds Information
Welcome to The Tank Club: ESO Main Tank Builds.
This build has been designed for generic use in 12-person trial content more specifically for veteran and hardmode trials. If you are looking for a more beginner friendly trial build, then check out the Beginner Tank Builds page and our YouTube channel.
When it comes to an optimised build for 12-person trials, it’s hard to suggest one individual setup since every group will expect something different. You are also limited on what is useful to your group depending on many factors including the level of experience and the difficulty of the trial.
When it comes to trial content there are a few generic good options for a Tank setup with some more niche options for certain situations.
