In the majestic wings of the Sclerium, where ancient scripts and arcane knowledge converge
0:06
a new breed of protector emerges. The Sclerium Sentinel is a formidable
0:12
master-scriber knight who embodies both scholarly wisdom and martial prowess, seamlessly blending
0:19
the meticulous craft of scribe skills with the underlying might of a sentinel knight
0:25
This fusion creates an indomitable force ready to stand against any threat in Tamriel
0:55
The aim is to create a simple yet effective tank build that helps players ease into tanking
1:01
This build offers both accessibility and simplicity, making it appealing to a wide
1:07
range of players. While it is equipped with everything you need to tank effectively in ESO
1:12
it is not recommended for harder end-game content. In more challenging scenarios such as veteran
1:17
or hard mode dungeons and trials, you may be required to provide additional utility to your
1:23
group. At this point, the one-bar setup may be limiting. Nevertheless, we have worked diligently
1:30
to ensure that this build, despite its single-bar design, is packed with numerous buffs and debuffs
1:35
to help you tank effectively and offer significant group benefits. For this build, we are using the Nord Race, and this is because it provides the best utility
1:45
for this build. With the 2600 increased resistances, which helps us reach the resistance
1:51
cap, additionally, Nords offer 1500 max stamina and 1000 max health. They also generate 5 ultimate
1:59
every 10 seconds when taking damage. Our Munda Stone is the Atronach, and this is used because
2:06
it will provide an increase of 535 Magicka recovery when we pair it with full Divine's Gear
2:13
So it's really essential to have really high Magicka recovery for this build, because everything
2:18
we're going to be doing will cost Magicka. That also feeds into the next part, which is our food
2:23
and we're going with Red Frothgar. This food gives us a significant boost to our max health
2:28
and more critically, the increase of 451 additional Magicka recovery. For the potions, we are using
2:35
those Essence of Health Tri-Stat potions. These are going to give us that major Fortitude, Intellect
2:40
and Endurance, boosting all recoveries, which we really need. And also, the potions restore a
2:45
substantial amount of health, Magicka, and stamina. Next, we're going to take a look at all of the gear that
2:51
this build is going to use, and we start off with the monster set. Now, we are going to be using Magma
2:56
Incarnate One Piece. You could also use Baron Thirsk, which provides the same One Piece as well, and some
3:00
people might find that one easier to obtain. But this is just going to give us increased Magicka
3:05
recovery and stamina recovery, and we're only going to be using this for the One Piece. So it's a great
3:09
little set to use to get that benefit. So the first five piece set we're going to use is Turning Tide
3:14
This gives us some really nice benefits with increased max health, max stamina, a second max
3:20
health buff, and then when you block, you gain Flowing Water for 10 seconds, causing your next
3:25
bash attack to deal Magick damage to up to six enemies in a 5 by 10 meter line, and you apply
3:31
that major vulnerability for 10 seconds. This is a huge debuff to enemies, which will increase the
3:37
group's DPS. Turning Tide is a set that we've selected because of its ease to proc. Simply bash
3:43
the enemy after blocking a hit, and it's one of the strongest tank sets in the game
3:47
offering a real significant group benefit. We pair this with another five piece, which is Crimson Oath's
3:53
Writhe, another really strong set. We are going to get increased armor, we're going to get max health
3:58
and we're going to get more armor again. Armor means spell and physical resistance, so it really
4:04
buffs us up quite nicely. We then also get the five piece bonus, which is while you are in combat
4:09
casting an ability, drinking a potion, or using a poison that applies a major or minor buff to
4:16
yourself or an ally, sends out a wave of energy that reduces the armor of nearby enemies within 12
4:22
meters by 3, 5, 4, 1 for 15 seconds, and you can do this every 12 seconds. So with Crimson Oath, this
4:28
set is chosen for its simplicity in proccing. It's very, very easy to use. The extra penetration it
4:33
provides is very useful for the group, and it compensates for the loss of the Eye Staff infused
4:38
Crusher. It also offers a substantial armor benefit, which gets us to the resistance cap
4:44
The next piece of gear we use is the Oaken Soul Ring. This is again another important part of the
4:49
build, because we are using one bar, so that does mean we are kind of limited on the skills we can
4:55
slot, and it doesn't give us a lot of opportunity or a lot of space to have skills that are giving
5:00
us things like different buffs and benefits. So we utilize the Oaken Soul Ring, which allows us to
5:06
stay on one bar, but also gives us some really significant benefits as well. This is a mythic
5:10
item. It's not extremely easy to obtain. It will take a little bit of time, but it's well worth it
5:15
While equipped, you're unable to swap bar, and then we gain minor Berserk, minor Courage, major
5:22
Brutality, major Sorcery, major Prophecy, major Savagery, minor Force, minor Protection, major
5:29
Resolve, minor Mending, minor Fortitude, minor Intellect, minor Endurance, minor Heroism, minor Slayer, minor Aegis, and Empower. So it's packed with lots and lots of things, and some of
5:40
those things in there are really useful for tanking, especially things like minor Protection
5:45
major Resolve, minor Mending. All of the buffs to our recoveries as well are all super useful. So
5:52
there are lots of benefits in there that we're going to be able to use as a tank, and it means we don't need to slot skills that provide these buffs as well. Now because we are using that mythic
5:59
item, we weren't able to use a full monster set, so that's why we're just using the one piece to
6:03
go with this. You can turn this build into a more easy mode build, and you would do that by switching
6:09
the gear sets to Pearlescent Ward and Saxial Champion, or Lucent Echoes, and what this will
6:14
allow you to do is play without any gear set proccing. So my preferred option is something
6:19
with proc sets, but if you wanted to go for something that is more easy mode, then definitely
6:24
take this option instead. Now for the gear we are using a six heavy and one medium or light. I've
6:30
personally gone for medium to get the medium armor benefits, and that's on the monster set. We don't
6:35
really have a choice on the heavy armor because we are using five crimson and five turning tide
6:40
so there isn't really much option there. You have to use six heavy, so we are doing that. You can
6:45
use light armor if you'd prefer, but because we've already got so much magical recovery already with
6:49
this build, I am not using that. I'm going with the medium to kind of reduce the cost of dodge roll
6:54
and little bits like that, so I've gone with that. On the gear I am using full divines. That's so we
6:58
can buff up our Atronach Munderstorm, which is a real critical point of this build, and for the
7:04
enchants, always going with those multi-effect enchants is the best option. On the small pieces
7:09
you can change those if you don't have the money to spend on the multi-effect enchants, but they
7:13
are going to give you the most overall benefit in total stats. You can always switch these to a
7:18
single stat if you want something that's a bit more cost effective. For the jewelry, I've gone with
7:23
three infused with magicka recovery. This is going to give us an absolute ton of magicka recovery
7:28
The only thing I would do here is I would potentially change to harmony if I'm in a group
7:32
where I've got lots of synergies, so if I've got a couple of friends that are providing some good
7:37
synergies, then obviously do that. If you're not going to be doing that, if you're with random groups
7:41
then infused is going to be the better option. For my one-handed weapon, just to kind of cover that
7:45
gap a little bit, I'm using an infused crusher. It is weaker than using it on an ice staff, but it's
7:50
better than not having one at all. Obviously, combined with crimson oath and major and minor
7:55
breach, we are still offering a pretty decent amount of group pen. Let's take a look at our
8:00
character stats. The only thing we can really do to buff up here is use a potion, and when we look
8:04
at the screen there, obviously the main highlights 33k spell and physical resistance. We've got 3429
8:11
magicka recovery, and then our max health just at 38.4k almost. So next, we're going to take a look
8:18
at the skills, and this is a scribing build predominantly, but we're also going to use a bit
8:24
of class skill in there, because we don't want to miss out on all the important buffs that we can
8:28
get from our class skill. So our first skill is leashing soul. This is basically used as a magic
8:35
damage. It's going to do a taunt, it's going to pull enemies to you, we're also going to get a
8:39
thousand magicka and a thousand stamina back, and then it's also going to apply major breach to
8:44
enemies that get pulled in. So a really, really useful skill, and this is going to be used as our
8:48
main taunt as well. The only trouble you do have there is that because we're using it as a taunt
8:53
skill, you can only use it on enemies that haven't been taunted already. So it does mean when you're
8:57
on a boss fight, you're all going to have to recast this exactly as it expires to make sure that you
9:02
maintain taunt on a boss. So that is a little thing that you have to worry about, but I wanted to make
9:07
something that was very well rounded and packed with skills that have useful benefits, so that's
9:12
why we are planning to do it that way. The next skill is binding burst. So this again is going to
9:18
be doing a range of different things. It's going to cost magicka, it's going to immobilize enemies
9:22
for three seconds, and it's got that eight meter radius in there. It's also then going to reduce the
9:27
movement speed of enemies, so we're going to have the immobilize plus a snare to slow enemies down
9:30
when they get pulled in, so then they don't run off. Alongside that, we've also got minor breach, so
9:35
enemies get afflicted with minor breach for 20 seconds, reducing their physical and spell resistance
9:40
by 2974. So within these two skills, we've got a pull, we've got a resource management tool, we've
9:47
got major and minor breach, we've got a snare, and we've got an immobilize, and that's all packed into
9:52
just two skills. Next we've got warding contingency. So we use this skill, and what you have to do is
9:58
it's an awkward skill because you cast it, and then when you cast another skill, it will trigger the
10:02
effect of the skill. So it's going to grant a damage shield to you and allies that absorbs 10,000
10:07
damage for eight seconds, so it's a group damage shield but also a damage shield for you. It scales
10:12
off max health, which is really nice. It then will place a rune on the ground for 10 seconds, and the
10:18
reason we do that is because anything inside that rune will then be afflicted by minor vulnerability
10:24
for 22 seconds, increasing damage taken by five percent. That will also stack with the major
10:30
vulnerability that we're going to be applying with the turning tide set. So we've got major and minor
10:34
vulnerability with really really good up times. The next one is magical throw. So this is a one-handed
10:41
shield skill. We're going to throw our shield at the enemy. What this is going to do is I've used
10:46
the magic version of this. So there's only one way to get this to cost magicka, and it's to put magic
10:50
damage on there. So it's going to be a decent damage skill. It's then going to heal for 5,000 health on
10:55
return. This does get buffed up because we are going to have a few different healing buffs in there
11:00
but also it can crit, and also it pairs really well with having this huge damage shield. So we've got
11:05
this big damage shield, and then we've got this heal, and to go alongside that it's going to also
11:11
apply major maim for 10 seconds to enemies reducing their damage done. So we're going to get that
11:15
magic costing skill that heals, and then applies another big debuff to enemies which means you're
11:20
going to be taking less damage. Now for the final skill, this is really difficult because it's hard
11:26
to find a useful skill to slot in the last position. Through the scribing skills there isn't anything
11:30
that really stands out as something that you must use, but we do need to use a skill that is a class
11:36
skill so we can benefit from some class passives. But then we also need to think about a skill that
11:41
actually provides a buff when you cast it. We can't proc Crimson Oath with any of these scribe
11:46
skills because we haven't got any buffs on there, they're all debuffs. So we need a buff skill that
11:50
provides you with a buff that can proc Crimson Oath and give you some class passives and benefits
11:55
So for the Arcanist in particular we've got Xena's Empowering Disc. Now the problem with this is all
12:01
of the buffs that you provide in don't actually benefit you because you've already got all of
12:06
these effects, minor courage, minor fortitude, intellect, and endurance. You've already got all
12:10
those because of the Oaken Soul Ring. However because you do use this particular skill when you
12:15
cast it it will immediately proc Crimson Oath. Now one of the things that is beneficial by using this
12:21
is your class passives. So because of your class passives you will get intricate rune forms
12:27
you will obviously benefit from all of your different passives here. We do miss out on this
12:31
armor from this skill but we're already at the resistance cap anyway so it's not a big loss
12:36
We don't get any additional benefit by using this either but if you wanted to switch a skill and use
12:42
something else instead of this one then you can. You could use something like Runeguard of Freedom
12:45
to proc Crimson Oath. We've already got minor protection so that wouldn't be useful but it will
12:50
give you another heal and it would give you group minor resolve so it's something you could use
12:56
We do get the benefit of this group buff minor evasion as well because casting an Arcanist
13:00
ability is any Arcanist ability so Xena's Empowering Disc would proc that one. So that is my personal
13:05
choice for this build and you've got to remember as well Xena's Empowering Disc is the same as wearing
13:10
another gear set so by using this skill and giving your group minor courage it's as if you're wearing
13:14
another gear set in a way because it means you're kind of wearing the Claw of Yonakrin set as well
13:19
as the gear set you're already wearing because you're providing basically that same buff. So it's a
13:23
good thing to have because it is essentially another gear set being used. We do also have options for
13:29
this last skill for every class so for the Dragon Knight you would use Igneous Shield. Despite having
13:35
a group shield with Warden Contingency this choice is essential for several reasons. We need a self
13:41
buffing skill to proc our Crimson Oath set. Igneous Shield not only provides a personal buff granting
13:47
Major Mending which enhances our healing but also offers an additional self and group shield. Moreover
13:53
it triggers the Mountain's Blessing passive. It grants minor brutality as a group buff. You get
13:58
additional ultimate and in addition to that the Helping Hand's passive is activated that provides
14:04
1120 stamina each time Igneous Shield is cast. So that is a really strong option. Alternatively to
14:10
that you could use Igneous Weapons. Necromancers pose a significant challenge when trying to find
14:16
a single useful skill that provides a self buff. As most Necro tanking skills lack this feature it's
14:21
surprising actually. Since we don't need Major Resolve which is one of the few buffs built into
14:26
the class the Necro doesn't actually have any unique group buffs so then we need to choose a
14:31
skill that offers any beneficial effect. This leads us to Deaden Pain. Now while not as effective as
14:36
the other morph it is one of the few semi-useful self buffing skills that's available on a Necro
14:42
However it can be difficult to proc this on bosses as it requires consuming corpses to activate the
14:47
buff which in turn procs the Crimson Oath gear set. So alternatively you could use something
14:52
more reliable like Resolving Vigor on bosses. For the Nightblade Mirage is an excellent option as
14:58
it provides Major Evasion and Minor Resolve and reduces the cost of Dodge Roll. Additionally it
15:03
grants access to the Hemorrhage passive which applies the group buff Minor Savagery offering
15:09
further group benefits. This skill also helps by proccing that Crimson Oath set. As a sorcerer the
15:14
only truly worthwhile option is Dark Deal. This skill activates the Exploitation passive providing
15:19
the Minor Prophecy group buff. Additionally it is an excellent sustain tool using Magicka to heal you
15:25
and grants a burst of stamina along with stamina over time. Crucially it applies to self buffs
15:30
essential for proccing that Crimson Oath. However be mindful that this skill has a channel time which
15:36
will make you drop block so definitely avoid casting it when you're about to be hit by a
15:40
heavy attack or mechanic. For the Templar it's impossible to proc the unique class buff of Minor
15:45
Sorcery while also using a skill that provides a self buff as none of the Dawnwrath skills include
15:51
any major or minor self buffs. Radiant Aura is chosen because it gives both a group buff and a
15:57
self buff which is essential for proccing Crimson. Although this skill may be somewhat redundant for
16:02
the tank due to overlapping buffs it remains beneficial for the group and necessary for the
16:07
gear proc. A Warden has a few good options for the skills that can be used here. Firstly Enchanted
16:13
Growth provides an additional heal that procs the Warden's unique group buff Minor Toughness which
16:19
increases max health of you and your group members. This skill also grants Minor Intellect and
16:24
Endurance which helps proc Crimson Oath. Although you already benefit from these buffs you can still
16:29
provide them to your group. Alternatively Bullenetch is a solid self-sustained tool which grants the
16:35
Flourish passive increasing your Magicka and stamina recovery. It also gives you stamina over
16:39
time from the skill itself and it will give you a couple of buffs that will proc Crimson Oath
16:44
On to the champion points and we've got a pretty standard setup here for our blue CP. We've got
16:50
the Duelist Rebuff, Enduring Resolve, Bulwark and then we've got Ironclad. We use those because
16:56
those are all the best ones that we can use for a tank and then obviously we pair those with things
17:00
like Elemental Ages, Preparation, Hardy and everything else that doesn't need to be slotted
17:06
On the fitness CP again a pretty standardized setup of Boundless Vitality, Fortified
17:11
Rejuvenation and then we've also got this one here Bracing Anchor. So again very standard we
17:18
want to use all of the CP that will give us benefits without needing to be slotted again
17:23
Now because we are using a damage shield skill you could alternatively use something like Shield
17:29
Master or Bastion and Bastion if you didn't quite need maybe the Fortified. Maybe you're willing to
17:34
drop 1700 armor because we are at the resistance cap. You could drop it a little bit depending on
17:39
the content it won't be as important to actually hit the resistance cap for everything other than
17:43
the newer content. Rejuvenation is only given a tiny amount of recovery so you might think that
17:48
you don't need that 90 so you might as well take something that's going to reduce the cost
17:52
of your damage shield instead so those are optional champion points as well
17:56
So we need to have a little look at how we create the skills that I've made for this build and we
18:00
do this by going to Describing, Alter and Crafting these skills ourselves. So our first one here
18:06
Shield Throw. So with Shield Throw you're going to need that magic damage, you're going to need to
18:10
take the Sage's Remedy as well which is going to add in that healing and then we take the main perk
18:16
as well so that is going to create that magical throw with all those effects that I showed you
18:21
before. For Soulburst we go with that Immobilize, then we want to take Hunter's Snare for that
18:26
movement speed reduction and then Breach as well to apply that minor breach. On Wield Soul we have
18:32
got Pull obviously to pull and taunt enemies. You've got Druid's Resurgence which is really
18:37
essential for this restoring Magicka and Stamina so if you've got an enemy that doesn't get chained
18:42
in maybe they're already CC immune you're going to get a thousand stamina and Magicka back so this
18:46
skill costs 3780 Magicka but then you're going to restore a thousand of that Magicka so it's only
18:52
actually costing 2780 but then you get the additional stamina so what this does also is it
18:58
turns this skill into a sustain tool so we've got so much Magicka and one of the reasons for that is
19:04
if you're really struggling to sustain all you need to do is spam this skill. You can essentially
19:09
spam this skill once every second and you'll get a thousand stamina back so you've got no reason to
19:14
ever really struggle for sustain especially on those boss fights where you might have to block
19:18
for a prolonged period of time because you can just cast this and it will proc that alongside
19:23
proccing the major breach so you do need to cast this once every 10 seconds on bosses regardless
19:28
because we go with that breach effect. Druid's Resurgence is such a strong script to get on this
19:32
skill because those resources are huge. That thousand stamina means that you can just keep
19:37
using this skill to gain resources back so it's a fantastic resource tool alongside everything else
19:42
that it does. Next we've got Contingency and on this skill we go with Damage Shield we then go
19:47
with Growing Impact to place that rune on the ground and then combine that with Vulnerability
19:53
for the minor vulnerability because we've pretty much got everything else that's listed in this list so there isn't really anything else that's useful there so we go with that minor vulnerability
20:00
now obviously you're welcome to customize these spells slightly differently because they are
20:04
customizable it doesn't mean you have to follow this 100% if there's something else that you
20:08
wanted to get instead then that is more than plausible maybe you wanted to go with Major
20:12
Vitality instead of something else or you wanted to go with a different effect that is absolutely
20:17
possible maybe you're willing to spend a bit of stamina on a skill in which point you wouldn't
20:20
need the magic damage one to make it and force it into being a magical skill so there's lots of
20:24
different ways you can customize the spells for this build. So we're going to look at how to play
20:29
this build and this build is designed to be simple and accessible so this is going to be a general
20:33
rotation to follow to activate everything effectively. So for Ad Pools you want to move
20:38
towards the enemy and cast Contingency for the Damage Shield and AoE just before you reach them
20:44
this will proc when you cast your next skill so it doesn't proc when you cast it, it procs when you
20:48
use the next skill. You then want to use Soul Burst to immobilize the melee enemies close to you and
20:54
the ones that are inside the AoE we've placed with Contingency. You then want to use Wield Soul
20:59
to start chaining enemies, debuff them and taunt them so that'll pull them into you on top of the
21:04
AoE and it will just make them be caused with a huge debuff. You then use Soul Burst again to
21:10
crowd control the enemies that you've just chained in. Next you block to gain Flobbing Water from
21:15
Turning Tide and then you bash to proc it within 10 seconds. Use your class skill to then proc
21:20
Crimson Oath because everything's stacked in and then use Contingency and then Shield Throw for
21:25
Survival as and when needed and Wield Soul for Stamina Sustain when that's needed as well
21:31
When we move on to bosses you want to initiate combat with a boss using Wield Soul to taunt
21:37
and debuff him. Proc Turning Tide by blocking a hit and then bashing. You then proc Crimson Oath by
21:42
using your class skill. Ensure the bosses are positioned correctly and then use your Contingency
21:48
skill. Proceed to debuff the boss by using Wield Soul and Shield Throw and just continue to apply
21:54
your skills and proc your gear on cooldown. And again you would use Contingency, Shield Throw for
22:01
Survival and you can spam Wield Soul when you're not doing anything else. When all your skills are
22:05
on cooldown and you need some Stamina, maybe you're blocking, use Wield Soul to gain that
22:10
Stamina back if needed. So that is everything for this Scalarium Sentinel 1 Bar Tank Build
22:16
for Gold Road. I hope you enjoyed the build. Let me know what you think in the comments below
