ESO Tank Monster Sets – Tremorscale

Set bonus

1 item: Adds 1096 Maximum Stamina.
2 items: When you activate a taunt ability on an enemy, you cause a duneripper to burst from the ground beneath them after 1 second, dealing 0 Physical damage to all enemies within 4 meters and reducing their Armor by 0 for 15 seconds. This effect can occur once every 10 seconds and scales off the higher of your Physical or Spell Resistance.

Where to obtain:
Veteran Vollenfell, Glirion the Redbeard.

Comments:
With the High Isle chapter, Tremorscale now provides both Spell and Physical penetration. Though the base penetration value was reduced, it now scales with resistances and has an improved uptime, making it easier to maintain the debuff.

This set gained value after the 2022 hybridization changes, as damage dealers using more medium armor are now under the penetration cap. In trials, Tremorscale alone may not cap group penetration unless paired with Crimson Oath’s Rive, occupying seven gear slots. Alternatively, one damage dealer using Alkosh can achieve similar results. It pairs well with an Arcanist using Runic Sunder for additional group penetration. Despite ESO’s armor cap of 33,100, Tremorscale remains uncapped, providing benefits even above this threshold.

Tremorscale is easy to obtain and activate, making it a great starter tank monster set. It debuffs enemies in a small AoE, but you should assess your group’s penetration value against enemies to determine its worth compared to stronger sets like Archdruid and Nazaray.
