[Help] New to the game - Building.

Khabib

Hey guys, I'm completely nwe to MMORPG and I decided to start playing ESO, I'm currently level 9 and enjoying a lot playing as Argonian but I can't really find anything that helps me building one. I want to make an Argonian Dragon Knight, two handed weapon. (tank). How would u guys spend the points? Heavy armor is good for that?

Cannot really help you with that, but I know of a place where you should be able to find the answers you are seeking - and probably much more. Please see here: http://tamrielfoundry.com/forum/classes/dragonknight-class/

This can be a tad big overwhelming and since 1-50 is relatively forgiving, I'd suggest just experimenting on your own first and trust your gut feelings. There's plenty of SP and you can always respec, if need be. Leveling, VR and endgame builds do differ anyways.

I started off all heavy and then switched to mostly light armor with 2 heavy and 1 medium (so it would level too). If you really want a lot off armor, just use a skill that buffs your armor, that way you can use the very nice light armor passives and still be tanky.

Using heavy on chest and legs also maximizes how much armor you get while only using 2 heavy.

I use a lot of medium on my night blade, but otherwise don't have much experience with it...

As a tank, you want to generally wear 5 pieces of heavy armor and 2 pieces of light armor if you're going to be using magicka based abilities, or 2 pieces of medium armor if you're going to be using stamina based abilities. However you should keep in mind that interrupting, blocking, dodging, CC breaking and running all consume stamina.

As far as weapons, you are pretty much required to use 1 hand and shield to tank and you will want to pick up the 'Puncture' ability ASAP. This ability does use stamina, but it's cheap and very effective. You'll also want to pick up Fiery Grip (Ardent Flame skill line), which can be used like a taunt. Abilities like Spiked Armor and Dragon Blood in the Draconic Power skill line are useful for tanking, and CC abilities like Stonefist and Petrify can be helpful to have in your toolkit too. The recommended Ultimate for tanking is, as far as I know, Magma Armor but I can see Standard of Might (Dragonknight Standard morph) being viable as well.

I encourage you to spend some time on your skill point screen reading through the tooltips on the abilities, it really does help immensely and if you're interested in what morphs would be available for any ability try ESOHead http://esohead.com/classes/1-dragonknight
