Maintenance for the week of April 6:
• ESO Store and Account System for maintenance – April 8, 9:00AM EDT (13:00 UTC) - 6:00PM EDT (22:00 UTC)
We are currently investigating connection issues some players are having on the European megaservers. We will update as new information becomes available.

What you expect from your group members as tank ?

    Don't stand behind me. Like ever.

    Don't throws caltrops into the adds before I get there (I'm not wasting all my stam running after you). Let me pull. It makes it ten times easier.

    If you have something on you, BRING IT TO ME. Don't rub away with it so I have to chase it as I chase you (I'm a nb with no chains!)

    Don't really need shard or repentance, but a healer running it is nice.

    Know the flippin mechanics. I can't do everything as a tank. No, I cannot help you with the storm atro on Molag kena. You have to burst him down. I cannot help you stay out of red. I cannot help you get to 17k health so you don't die to one shots (I refuse to run ebon and gimp my build because you don't know how to build a proper DPS). I cannot help if you don't follow my instructions (BLOCK on vet crypt of hearts boss means BLOCK!).

    Regarding Crypt of Hearts and Banished Cells, in order to get gold the tank, if DK, must not slot Spiked Armor as the adds will easily kill themselves from the reflected damage; slot the immovable skill from heavy armor line instead as it offers the same buff without the reflect. Templar blazing shield, spiked shield from undaunted line and DK blazing shield should be avoided as welTaunts should be used sparingly as they can do 3-5K damage themselves. The DDs must never ever use AoE as the adds can get in range and get killed pretty easily - most dangerous moment is when the ghosts spawn in the same point as Nerien'eth; they must stop DPS at that point, until the tank kites them safely away. Also the DDs must not burn down the boss too fast, as the adds may not have enough time to spawn in sufficient numbers to fulfill the gold key condition. I'm writing this down because I had a very hard time last week with those 2 pledges because adds dying and/or not having enough time to spawn. Had to run each dungeon 3 times to get that gold key. It happened before, but it seems to be happening more often lately.
