Which Armor Type Is Best For YOU? The ESO ULTIMATE ARMOR Guide For Beginners!

TY

Nice.

It should be noted that this guide is outdated. DO NOT FOLLOW THIS GUIDE IN 2023.

thanx for this. still confused newbie tho since I play Nightblade and I use both stamina and magicka but I have and I h ave split dual- wield magic based skills, tho most of them are magic based. but I also want to be sneaky assassin type.. I use mostly medium but have few pieces of light... Don't know which one to commit to, like passives for both. But this video made me feel better about it hehe

I keep seeing the active and ultimate skill bar flip, like it has an ability to slot more skills. If that is the case, what's the shortcut for that?

Any tips for summerset? Thats where I first started playing ESO and I'm not at lvl 50 yet

Great work sir. I’ve subscribed, you really good at explaining things very clearly and simply .

Im going heavy armored sorcere

"Hi, my name is Hack" ..Instant sub!! lol

I'd rather pay someone to make armor for me. Anyone?

Head, and Chest have the most Armor. So, if you're doing 5/2 Light/Heavy, then you want those 2 pieces to be Heavy. ("Reinforced Glass") The Belt/Sash has the Least armor. So, if you're doing 1/5/1 Light/Medium/Heavy, you want the head, or chest piece to be Heavy (For the most Armor) and the Sash to be Light (So, you have the least least armor.) The rest can be Medium without Penalty. Recently, they added Penalties for Light, and Heavy Armor. However, Medium has bonuses to Sprint, Sneak, and Roll Dodge, which everyone has to do. That doesn't count Sets, which can be hard to work in (Especially with Monster Helms, and Weapon Sets.) I suggest Crafting 1 set, so you can make them with whatever weight, traits, and pieces you want, to fill in the slots you don't have filled by Overland, Dungeon, and Trials sets. Finally, a Shield counts as Apparel, so you can have 8 Divines traits (I joke that Stendarr is the 8th Divine) and an 8th Stat Enchantment like Health, or Tristat Glyph. However, shields are just shields, so they don't count as a Light, Heavy, or Medium piece for Passives. Note that weapons, sets, traits, and enchantments toggle off when you switch bars as well as some Passives from the Weapon skill-lines, like Ancient Knowledge.

just started playing and i have no idea what kind of armour would be best, and also what would look good for my character. I want to have a hood and cool spikey armour with a dress or something.

Gotcha so basically, whichever you like the look of and then change your playstyle slightly if you have to to survive.

Thank you hack. Im just coming back to ESO from the launch on ps4. And all your guides are gold haha ty so much. (Sorry for my english)

Thank you for this very informative video. I just got into ESO after quiting after Beta and your videos are helping a lot.

Thanks bud

What are those spikes on his back at the very beginning of the vid?

These videos are spectacular for beginners! Learn something on everyone in the Playlist!

Hello! I’m new to ESO and have a level 32. If I like a set I have now should I just keep it on or put on new armor that comes along if it’s better when I level up more? I don’t want to lose this set as I like the passives

Do people actually use the active abilities?

Finally getting around to buying ESO, thinking of going for a sorcerer w/ heavy armor
Havent yet decided whether or not I want to go with a 2h weapon or sword and board - Would either of these be viable while leveling?

Is the intro supposed to be static-y or are my earphones fucked again?

Hey bro, i am the NOOB youre making these updated videos for! TRUE 100% noob lol. Console peasant too lol. I appreciate your insight. My first character is a Wood Elf, Wife chose high elf.

I dont understand how armor works in the game. I'm level 15 and I have heavy armor thats close to the armor values shown in this video for level 50s? what is the point of higher level armor?

No one ever says what the armor rating actually does.

that's just reading stats lol

The best armor is always a nordic bathing towel!

Hack I need a List of the armors in the game to know what is good and bad with the updates I need to know more than just new moon acolyte and mother of sorrow

You used Heavy on your stamDen build do you still recommend that for harrowstorm?

Another helpful video. I like to watch one each time I log in and try out the new info. Keep making these forever please.

hey i have a question about how you had your weapon on fire in your solo guide vid i know you can add fire to your weapons but when you take out the weapon its on fire but then shortly turns off is there a setting to keep it on or are you useing a addon?

This was so FREAKIN` Helpful! Thx! Just started the Game and everything about Armor left me kinda baffled! Thanks for the great Content! I definitely will check out some mo´ of Yo ESO Stuff!

All medium for a stam char if you're going for a no death or hm in a vet duengon then a tanking ms combo with lord warden and chudan.

Thanks Hack. As a new player that answered a lot of questions. :)

You really make life easier for new player with this series of videos. There are some things I learned just now, even I play for long time.. Keep up with good content, will you maybe make some guide explanation on food and drink buffs? There are not any explanation actually, only for leveling those skill lines. 🙋‍♂️

I've picked up dreugh king slayer and combined it with some vicious ofidian from the bank. Seems to work for damage and sustain but since it's a new character I'm missing vigor so much!

Jewellery is killing me not being maxed. Need to try to rush that on my crafter!

Do you play on xbox or just use an xbox controller?

Hey Hack ! Love your builds . Can you do a guide on animation cancelling . I'm playing a stamden dps 2H and bow and would love to have some pointers .

Was that a hybrid necro I saw towards the end? Can’t wait for that build! Keep em coming Hack!

It always seems counterintuitive to put healers in light armor, even though they are spell-casters. They should have the heaviest armor possible because when your healer goes down, your party goes down. Sadly, ESO is not implemented that way, so your all-important healer basically has to run around in a heavy sweater and pray to whatever he worships that he doesn't get seriously hit. More "common sense" from Zenimax. LOL. ☹

Thanks for the video man

These are great for new players but as a vet player ive built a sorc who runs 5 heavy 1 light 1 medium and i do just fine in end game content

i always use 2 heavy piece to get more extra resistance and health and 5 pieces light if magicka and 5 pieces med if stam i think that comb works pretty well for me

Thank you HTM for the great information and the hard work on the back-end to edit and post this video for OUR consumption and information. Thank you.!!! You certainly don’t HAVE TO share your knowledge with any of us.!!!

How do you thumbs down 👎🏼 a video like this. If you have this INFORMATIONAL video a thumbs down 👎🏼. You are just a self loathing asshole and are just doing it to be a scourge on society. Hack put time into this very valid information. Where is YOUR video.?? Exactly. Don’t thumbs down 👎🏼 someone’s hard work unless you want everyone to know you are as insignificant as YOU think you are.!!! SMH 🤦🏻‍♂️ What a bunch of douche bags.

Excellent video as always, Hack!!

I would love to see a new type, being super heavy armour. Specifically for tanks, its skills would be based around taunting, damage shields and health. With penalties to magicka, stamina and sprinting. It would also come with a new greatshield type that you can craft via blacksmithing instead of woodworking. Which would have a new skill line with lances and spears.
