ESO Tank Potions & Poisons

There are a range of Potions that can be used for Tanking that will help in a variety of different situations. Here you’ll find listed all of the useful Tank Potions along with the ingredients and when they might be used.

Potions have a cooldown and can be used once every 45 seconds. With the use of certain Jewellery Enchantments, you can reduce this time so that potions can be used sooner.

Sometimes you might also consider Poisons in rare situations, but Poisons are slightly unreliable compared to using weapon enchants. Poisons have a 20% chance to activate once they are off cooldown from a Light Attack, Heavy Attack or Weapon Ability. When compared to Weapon Glyphs which activate in the same way but with a 100% guarantee once they are off cooldown.
