Best role for arcanist?

gamer559 · October 2023

I know I've read guides online about how OP the arcanist is in every role for the game. My question to you guys is what role do you think best suits an arcanist in the current build of ESO? Tank, healer, stam dps, or mag dps?

Stam DPS for sure. It's top DPS right now.

i think all roles suits the arcanist.
and i think you should play a role you like playing.

Stam DPS or tank I'd say.

I have them as stam DD and healer and they both work really nicely.

I have multiple Arcanists leveled on two different platforms so I can play all roles. It sounds like that might be the way to go for you too.

I love tank on PvP battlegrounds, i can hold fine 4-5 ppl for soo long time... Very OP shields, mitigation, passives help alot, the class absorb well the builds, i tested same build on other classes, but Templar... And Warden cant hold much longen than arcanist...

I only take my tank into bgs to level is alliance skill lines. I find not being able to kill anything in pvp boring tbh

It really depends on the team that I join in some bgs, chaos ball, and capture relic I can do almost all the work, most of the BGs we win when it's not deathmatch obviously, all the objective BGs I always end with the highest score, because the strategy is versatile, people give up on hitting me, so I manage to capture the flags most of the time, if people try to kill me, they waste a lot of time, making the other flags freer, in this case the team It's important, unfortunately most players treat all BGs as deathmatch and don't do the objectives, capturing relics is relatively easy to catch even with people protecting them, chaos ball too, the only BG that tanks is almost useless is just Deathmatch... some people they throw hate at me, some even on my team, because I'm always 0/0, and they don't pay attention to the score, which is what really matters in objective BGs... I have fun on arcanist tank anyway but the class itself is turning boring for me.
