PvE Classes Tierlist for All Roles and Content | The Elder Scrolls Online

Arcanist because green

Would you please make a new list for Update 40?

Hmm crazy to me you guys put way too much into the classes when a person can at least put on 3 set pieces and combine them. X2 five piece sets and 1 monster set and which ever way they combine them can make the game really easy to tank. I have seen gear being rank so low for tanking because for some reason people think that group tank is for dps. Now that is just plain weird because in my experience which goes all the way back to EQ days, tanking for is for the survival of the group. All the damage group buffs can be handled by the dps not the tank.

You have the perfect voice and demeanor to be someone’s cool old uncle… you’ll grow into the role, give it time.

Not me on my necro healer 💔.

honest question, you gave a tier list for tanks but only basically said "dk is best that's all.." you didn't give any explanations or numbers or explanations of any skills... not super helpful as someone who wants to learn the game

Ik I’m complaining about someone else’s opinion, but I play a Breton Templar Tank and it’s pretty good, part of being a tank is making sure you don’t die and templars help with that with their healing line.

I played eso for 3 years from release and DK was king. Im only now returning and the king still hasn't been dethroned. Long live the MF king!

Imagine making the cliche fantasy paladin class the worst tank in the game

Isn't PvE in Elder Scrolls extremely easy? I heard you can go through almost the entire game just spamming any skill... that's what I heard, I never played. Is it true?

New player now L160 CP 500 something. I only have experience with the Dragonknight and I picked DK for no particular reason after quickly reading the specs. And I am so glad I did. I am mostly a solo player and I saw I can play some seriously hard content on solo if my setup/skills are good. And I learned to make a really good setup of my favorite companion Isobel as a 1- Tank/2- Healer. The skills and the order of the companion skills on the bar make a huge difference in performance. Took me a while to realize how much I have to care about these cool off timeouts, skill selection and the order of the skills from left to right. I will definitely have to play other class, tho. I enjoy ESO a lot more I thought than I would to be honest. Its a good game, lots of stats and fine tuning (if you want) and I like that.

I'm surprised NB in Trials is in Garbage tier, but I guess it really depends on what the group needs. I always am called as a NB to trials but I assume it's due to the fact that I'm an experienced NB

So in this game Templar will never be a good tank :')

I set my DK up to uave essentially two bars of overshield while those over shields launch mortars because of a monster set hes impossible to kill and while he's tanking its causing damage on top of my normal rotation

I am a newer less experienced player just came back to the game last week for necrom and the arcanist class I would disagree with your arcanist dps placement you can get some pretty high damage off with one bar and basics in dungeons wasn’t much of a learning curve compared to something like nightblade

Any class is good for any content. Just depends on how much you want to struggle vs have an easier time.

I run NB for trials and I still got Shield of the North achievement (Kyne's Aegis Vet all HM's) with my party. Pain in the @$$ but I pulled it off with my DPS. It's about commitment to the cause.

IMO, while ESO gives tons of freedom to customization, the developers always invision a class identity and a certain playstyle as a main focus when creating a class. This is true for all games. While it is true that you can be a stamina sorcerer or a magicka nightblade, each class was designed with a main role / playstyle in mind at the start.

I find all classes, in the right hands, to be more than capable to heal, deal respectable dps and tank, regardless of the content, as long as the mechanics are learned and understood, the gear is in check and the game sense is developed, even with your average crafted gear.

For example, I started playing when there were only 4 classes in the game.
I always envisioned Templar as the Healing Class, Sorcerer as Magical Ranged DPS, Nightblade as Ranged or Melee Physical DPS and Dragonknight as the Tank/Bruiser. That is literally how my characters are. I never felt the need to go for more than 4 characters, one for each of the main 4 classes. Necro and Warden never peeked my interest.

I left the game about 2 years ago, but I come back every year to check out 1 year worth of content (which isn't that much IMO) that I missed. The mistake of the developers is that they keep almost all builds viable so when you come back, unless you like experiment and have the best build or complete your collection, you don't have much to do after about 2k hours. Just do transmog, farm some more loot, craft, do some quests, maybe get some collectibles and level up some niche skill lines.

If u have warden in copium for dps u never played a good dps warden build broh, that is s tier easy

Necro Copium for solo Arenas ? Seriously ? The class is completely free win lol

What are the best dps classes for endgame on the magic side? And then the Stam side? Ik it makes a difference

It is so funny how his voice is so deep but he looks like a 12 year old kid. No offense. I started with a DK about 6 years ago. For so long it was great for survival but not for high DPS. I was so happy when a few months ago I was able to do top tier damage as a DK. PS: What is copium? I consistently do insane damage in dungeons and trials with my Arcanist I would put that in S tier and I have DPS in every class. Arcanist gets highest DPS by far for me.

Very well put together video. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Spell Power Cure, Elemental Catalyst Magcro healer. Velothi Ur, Dark Elf, one bar DMG, one bar NECRO heal skills. Destro/Resto. Push the damage, feed corpses for the cheap heals. Fantastic in 4 man content. I did VHM Unhallowed last night no issues.

Breton Arcanist. Velothi, Apocryphal Inspiration, Spell Power Cure. 40k parse on a 21 mill as a healer.

I walk in, Arcanist Domain, Healing orb, throw out my bubbles. Usually have 3 crux, bar swap, beam. Anyone takes any damage while in my beam, bar swap, refresh.

I throw healing synergies on one bar, and the best DD synergy in the game in the front bar.

My tank has 45% recovery on all 3 stats if he's in my Arcanist circle with me. I can keep 100% uptime on over 600 free weapon and spell damage.

Quit telling these new players there's NO way to play these classes and play them WELL.

I will NEVER set foot in a VHM trial simply because I KNOW they'll say something about my build.

My guild loves my weird builds. I know I'm not 85-100k deeps on a parse, cuz who fkn cares? I love Elder Scrolls. Slash builds have been a staple of the series since it's inception.

Yes, slash builds require skill, patience, and creativity. But I'd rather have a gimped character I created to run the content I enjoy than try and fit in with a group of people who say there's literally only 3 good classes in the game.

Hi all, returning after over a year off, I was a magsorc main, are stam sorc viable for solo and all PvE content or should I stick with magsorc?

Rip for my stamden

Necromancer is literally the best PVE healer, with the ghost floating around that automatically heals the lowest target and the ability that collects souls to gain the fastest support ults in the game

Never seen your vids before. You, my guy, have a great voice for radio, announcing, commercials, etc.

Нихрена себе, вот это азиат на английском шпрехает

guys who is that knight guy who fought 1vs3 on that trailer video i want to play tha class XDD

DK still king 🫡 glad to see even after all this time away my old main class is doing well. We take those.

TESO for life

Arcanist getting done dirty. Previous to the Arcanist's release (I'm on console), I'd already beaten vateshran trifecta and flawless Malestrom. Trying it all out on arcanist, it was absolutely silly how good it was with pale order. But I suppose every class is good solo with pale order.

P. S. I’m sure you’ve heard this before but you should do adult phone services with that voice. Or at least radio.

I’ve only been playing for a week and only a few hours, I think I’m level 10, but so far this game is SO easy that I love this list so I can pick the worst class I can to give some challenge. It’s as easy as Skyrim and they somehow ported the super dumb AI over from all the build engine games in to this one. But it’s a beautiful game and I’m loving it. I just roll play as a super badass and enjoy the power trip. Im sure it’ll get tougher but it’s the same as Skyrim/ Fallout 3/ Fallout 4 so far.

As a skilled Necromancer tier list is pretty accurate but i do think solo arena i do better than copium

I'm very new to eso 3rd time trying to get into it, and I actually made it past lvl 10 this time lmao anyways was just curious if I'm being dumb, I queue for dps as a dot stamplar, started off doing like 50% damage or more on my damage tracker but the more I've been going up I'm dropping to like 20% but I don't really have too many heals, and I definitely don't have a taunt so I know not to go tank. Could also just be me being bad at my rotations, or the fact it seems 80% of people just sprint through random dungeons :/

thanks for making this prob going dragon knight

Stamarc is super op in 4 man. 80-100k on bosses. Trash anywhere from 120 to 150k the majority of the time.

In trials, it is rare I am not top dps, beating out dks on the majority of fights.

Arenas are a walkover on Arcanist too

I have a feeling that Nefas does not play Arcanist much.

I also tank vet(hm)4 man and trial on the arcanist. It works very well with some fights easier on an arc tank and some easier on nevro. I have a dk tank, but it never really clicked with me. DKs are great tanks, just not fun for me.

I'm a magden main and have done alot of the hard modes with that class as a dd and I could not pull it of with another class in someways it just comes down to your playstile to some classes juat work better for you know of a necro healer that's healing trial hardmodes

As a necro main (initially) i can honestly say "healing" on necro is not that OP however, i'd put it as S as healer simply because of its shielding capabilities. The ult generation is insane, if you run barrier with the soul absorption skill (forgot the name) you can have another barrier up before 1 passively ends, not to mention stacking that with other shielding sets, it feels like group immortality. But for just straight healing i agree with your A rating. Id say between A or B.

You put arcanist at B for solo? Are you high?

"copium" 😂😂😂😂

Love your Voice 😀

So why then, when i search best builds july 2023 for eso does a dragonknight stam build rate like a class c or something?

Nerf DKs. They’re S in everything except heals.

warden is an interesting one with the right setups its very strong dps but i know the class like the back of my hand lol i would put from my experience warden at s tier i hit my highest dps on the class followed by my templar to each there own though

DK Tank is weaker on certain hard mode bosses, where Necro Tank performs much better do to there passive to reduce damage over time taken. Rest of the content they are about on par, nether is better then the other but they are better then other class tanks. Overall, Necro tank is the best.

As if people were playing PvP in ESO
