Can a sorcerer tank just as good as a Dragonknight?
rainingsidwaysb14_ESO
Soul Shriven
I'm really concerned whether or not it's worth my time to start a sorcerer for tanking. Will I be able to effectively tank higher v16 dungeons when I'm done leveling? Or what. Please give me a detailed response on the matter, whether or not it's a skill issue or a player skill issue.

✭✭Can a sorcerer tank? Yes. Can a sorcerer tank well? Yes. Can a sorcerer tank as well as a dragonknight? Nope.
Given equal player skill the DK will be the better tank than the sorcerer, DKs have a whole skill line dedicated to tanking. However having said that a sorcerer tank will be able to tank all the dungeons in the game just fine with a bit of tweaking.
It's similar to healers. Every class can heal, but templars are still the best.14 -

what@paulington said, but i have to admit they need to buff up the other 3's tanking and healing capability as well as he weapon skills just alittle so that they aren't so far apart, i mean a templar should defo be more naturally adept at healing but not as big as the gap thats currently there, ya dig?PLEASE REPLY TO ME WITH @dsalter otherwise i'm likely to miss the reply if its not my own thread

As full tank, no, but you can use your offensive advantage to do more dps and help dungeons clear easier.0 -

Give it time. With ZOS nerfing DKs and Templars every single patch and players power boosting DPS through the roof and resistance having a hard cap and NB already able to fill the tank role just as well.

Zero stamina regeneration while blocking made DKs even stronger tanks (in comparison to other classes).
They can still perma block easily by poping pots and by using ultimates.
Are you low on stamina?... no problem use a pot.
No pot available?... no problem use an ultimate.
No ultimate ready?...no problem - drop the health bellow 30 % and it will be ready soon.

Imho, you are wrong on both case.
Templars aren't the best healers, they are the best support. Because others classes don't have access to repent/Blazing Spears. Give a stamina return skill to NB or DK and they'll be as good as a templar.
DKs have an easier job and more options when it comes to tanking, yes. But, it doesn't make them better, imho. Especially in 4-man content. Sorcs and NB are far above the DK in terms of tanking + assist DPS as far as I'm concerned.
I switched my main tank from DK to Sorc, because more fun. DK tanking is a bit boring now for me
I don't tank in raid though, but if I had to, I'd take my sorc over my DK. I'll just have to re-tweak her a bit.
But I agree in trials, the DK is more equipped for tanking than other classes.What? Lead? Me? No, no, no. No leading. Bad things happen when I lead.

Usara✭✭✭✭I've tanked on my Magicka Sorc for most of the Veteran Dungeons, but I really wanna try vWGT.
It's definitely possible and its very fun to do.
I've tanked vWGT and vICP since the IC DLC release with a sorc, and did the no death runs a few weeks later.
vWGT is actually so much easier with a sorc... there's almost only magic damage. Harness magicka gets you through everything.
I know everyone has access to it, but as a DK you usually don't run with 30k+ in magicka and points in Bastion.What? Lead? Me? No, no, no. No leading. Bad things happen when I lead.

You need to tone down the hyperbole. Both DKs and Templars fare well in PVE. What you're talking about is PVP where Stamina DKs are actually strong but not Magicka, and Templars are at a bit of a lose when not supported by a group. The game has more than one aspect neither DKs, nor Templars are underwhelming for all of them. It's most in regards ti PVP that they could use buffing.2 -

Stamknight stamknight stamknight that's what all the NBs say that's what all the NBs cry about "oh DKs are OP look at stamknights" news flash not every single dragon knight has end game gear and 400+ CP and are stamina based. As for PvE every one does good in that it's PvE it's been reduced to any one can do anything cause of all the "to hard" crying threads.
The point of all this is DKs and Tempalrs need buffed period but ZOS wont do anything cause of all the NBs saying "L2P" after all look at last ESO live when they were asked about this stuff.
"No EAT no ETA no ETA"~ZOS
So yes it is very hard for any one to get hopes up for changes when ZOS gives no info about it and the META class is always posting about "L2P your class". Hard for new players to learn how to play there class when PvE keeps getting nerfed and PvP is nothing but a DPS contest.0 -

Sorc tank can out dps the crap out of a DK though so I think moving forward sorcs might gain an edge. Perma frost+ spectre + endurance gives you a 30+k health tank with a 20k shield that can burst 10k dps with overload and have cc comparable to a DK in terms of snares.1 -

DKs have Ignenous Shield which gives the group a dmg shield and increases healing done by 30% for 7 seconds.
Sorcs dont have any class skills (assuming all sorcs pick Hardened Ward) that really benefits healing so I would say DKs are better tanks and healers than sorcs.
DPS wise Overloading sorcs might have the highest dps, although DKs also have very high sustained dps.
