tank pve build in pvp matches

[ozblumen]

Hi as a beginner I follow tank pve guide and skills, but I notice most of my skills are not so good for the purpose of pvp, should I customize my skills ? or I'm going to suck anyway cause my skills are morphed and picked in order to be suitable for pve.

Any tips ?

Tanks are very different between PvE and PvP on ESO, so it's better you make two dedicated characters for each, rather than trying to make one tank for both.

First you need to know that pve tanks can be good pvp builds if you customize their skills and gear. For example tanks use one handed and shield but in pvp you need something like two handed or dual wield damage skills. First change them and then change your gear to a pvp gear. Next thing is your champion points. Best choice is to change them with some coin when you are pvp or pve ing or you can choose pve champion points and just stick to no champion points pvp like battleground or nocp cyrodil. For build and etc I suggest Alcast's website: https://www.alcasthq.com

Sound like big disadvantage isn't it ? compared to dps role

Of course thanks guys for comments :)

Disadvantage?? Its the same for dps, if not worse. If you are not and advanced player I promise you, if you go into pvp especially Battlegrounds with your pve dps loadout you will get Clapped. witch in turn will make you most likely hate pvp so you will spend your next several hundred hrs. in the game playing pve content only ever doing pvp for your daily exp quest.... Ne way, i agree with Naravolian. If you are going to pvp you should make a character that is dedicated for that purpose for now.

I use all my characters in both PvE and PvP. Just put all your attributes into Stamina for your Tank and just changing gear & skills will do for PvP. Some skills have morphs for PvE and PvP but I prefer to use the PvP morphs because it matters more.

For example as a DK tank you need Igneous Shield for PvE (gives bigger shield) and Fragmented Shield (Longer Major Mending) for PvP. I just use Fragmented Shield because I think longer Major Mending matters a lot in PvP but I can easily tank without the Igneous Shield bonus in PvE.
