Any class can be used for Tanking this trial but Dragonknights are usually preferred due to their unique group buffs. Classes such as Necromancers can struggle with range Tanking due to their main healing skill Hungry Scythe requiring you to be in melee range.

Any race can be used.

Imperial for the overall sustain and lower cost Ultimate.

Redguard for the Stamina sustain if this is something you struggle with.

Nord for the additional resistances, Ultimate gain, Health and Stamina.

The best Mundus Stone to use here is The Atronach for the extra Magicka Recovery, there is a lot of Magicka casting for the Tanks in this trial so this is important to help with sustain. The only other potential useful Mundus is The Lady if you are struggling with the incoming damage and you have really low resistances (under 25k) or you are low champion points.

For this trial you should aim for minimum 40k Health, 20k+ Magicka and 25k+ Stamina.

As standard we use the Bewitched Sugar Skulls which gives Max Health, Magicka and Stamina plus more Health Recovery because all resources are very important here.

You can use regular Tri-Stat potions here, there are no special requirements. You could use Immovable Potions for emergency situations when you are inside a Time Stop AoE mid-mechanic and can’t get out if you are not using the skill Immovable.
