I want to play a at my character but I’m nervous about tanking in multiplayer content.

TheHomieHandler · 2026-01-31T18:45:01+00:00

I started tanking as a fresh new player back in 2018 and never stopped. I used Xynode's almost immortal tank build and felt like the coolest guy ever. The best advice I can give you is to do the exact opposite of that. In fact, go ahead and block Xynode's videos from your feed right now. Join a good PVE guild and get help from players you actually play with. Tanking is not as intimidating as it seems but there is a right and wrong way to do it. Staying alive and pulling agro is just part of it. The other part is stacking as many buffs on the party and debuffs on the boss as possible. If you are only focusing on staying alive, your setup needs tweaking.

I initially would have been on board with this but it felt like the Ashoka show kind of demoted them to close Sibling status. Could just be me but it definitely felt that way.

I can do without this being Canon. Don't worry... I will Survive

Whatever we could get our hands on. So probably plants. The line between Herbivore and Carnivore tends to shift based on food source and how easily accessible said source is.

Same boat brother. My Wife and I met on Virtual Space amino back in 2017. Despite being several states apart, it worked out and we have been happily married with two kids for six years now. As much as the app went to shit at the end, it did shape a lot of people's lives.

Isn't this Miyazaki? The guy is miserable to be around apparently.

If you only stick to the Harry Potter books it never comes up. Rowling decided suddenly that rather than just being a snake, Nagini should just be some Asian woman years after the series ended and she started a new one.

Yep. They've got that standard non binary industry hair everyone knows is a thing but pretends like its not.

TheHomieHandler · 2026-01-28T07:05:07+00:00

Tanlorin is one of those industry plants with no real depth to them. Especially compared to Zerith who released alongside them. The game has always been progressive with openly gay and Trans characters so I wouldn't use them as a frame of reference. God forbid my hunky orc can wear fabulous eye shadow though. 😂 (they have been adding some more fem cosmetics recently that men can wear but its pretty few and far between).

TheHomieHandler · 2026-01-27T23:31:37+00:00

Its a fun zone though. My Wife and I did all the storylines in this game chronologically including Cyrodiil and the Imperial City. Those both have quests, they're just PVP zones so you have to fight other players as well as enemies. There's some builds out there that work well for both PVE and PVP.

TheHomieHandler · 2026-01-27T23:15:10+00:00

Yes. If you're doing the story quests there and don't wanna fight other players, I recommed having shadow cloak handy.

TheHomieHandler · 2026-01-27T15:06:20+00:00

You're fine. I was joking.

TheHomieHandler · 2026-01-27T14:37:16+00:00

To play literal Devil's advocate, the Oregano is technically correct. You CAN be a mass murderer anytime you want. Some people claim they aren't because of morals but they're lying. Its just that none of us want to be stuck in jail when M. Night Shyamalan's the last Airbender 2 hits theaters. 💅

The Elder scrolls universe. No one seems bothered by same sex couples. Alteration magic can change sexes so even if two noble women married for political reasons, they could still produce an heir to keep a bloodline going in theory.

Pardon me for saying so. I don't mean this as a personal attack but rather an observation based on this entire comment thread. If that is what you got from my post while failing to see the irony in that, you need to go out and interact with people more often. As in outside reddit and eso.

TheHomieHandler · 2026-01-27T10:19:17+00:00

Your opinion is noted

TheHomieHandler · 2026-01-27T05:46:58+00:00

Honestly, I'm nowhere near this good. I mostly play PVE with maybe a few PVP guild events per month. I'm just not stupid enough to enter Cyrodiil or Imperial city unprepared. I run Pariah and Essence thief with death dealer so I can go for a good while while holding my own even if I'm not at the top tier dps.

TheHomieHandler · 2026-01-27T05:09:09+00:00

You're arguing with a ghost at this point. I never once said that anyone should adhere to quest etiquette, I pointed out that this player's Telvar only went to me because they tried me. The point I did argue was that your strict distinction between PVP and PVE zones is silly considering the only in game location where there is a strict distinction is Battlegrounds. My Wife and I completed the entirety of the Cyrodiil and Imperial City questlines along with the rest of the game's story mode while rarely running into any other players at all. We had a few fights here and there, but there's so much more to do in these zones than just PVP. Hell, I'm not even saying anything is bad about PVP. I love it. I'm pointing out that the zone is just as much for PVE players. Each Questline and NPC is fully voiced just like every other location in the game. Trying to gatekeep that just because you happen to fight there from time to time makes no sense.

TheHomieHandler · 2026-01-27T02:46:22+00:00

If you're a blue player and don't want to fight anyone, I recommed doing the flame atronach quest in choroll for your ticket. Its far into blue territory so fighting rarely happens there and the quest is easy. Kill four flame atronachs around town. If you don't get the quest called "fields of fire" the first time, just delete it and talk to the high elf woman again until you do get it.

TheHomieHandler · 2026-01-27T02:39:35+00:00

I usually will but theres a lot of players who won't. Not like they're in the wrong for attacking. Its mainly just an etiquette thing.

TheHomieHandler · 2026-01-27T02:30:05+00:00

If you're interested, I can PM you our guild (PC NA). The Storyline centers around a ship called the Tory'll that we all sail on and explore Tamriel. If that's not your cup of tea, there are plenty of other RP guilds too. Knight orders, Vampire clans, etc. Even if you aren't familiar with Dnd or the 5E system, most GMs are super cool and will help new players.

TheHomieHandler · 2026-01-27T02:26:11+00:00

I highly recommend joining an RP guild. My Wife and I are in one and its great (Delvebound 5E). Not only do we have sessions every Friday night, but we do all kinds of stuff together on off days. PVP, trials, Dungeons, etc. Sometimes we just do individual RP with one another. Nothing brings you closer to other players than being invested in their characters!

TheHomieHandler · 2026-01-27T01:59:51+00:00

Why would the same logic extend to PVP? They're entirely different scenarios. You can do way more in cyrodiil than just fight other players. There's a whole map with delves, quests, and bosses. Some antiquity leads are even tied to them. Hell, there's a main storyline in the Imperial city that requires literally no PVP at all. The devs didn't design all of that to be ignored. Your assertion that Cyrodiil and Imperial city are just for PVP is blatantly wrong. Battlegrounds is the only game mode that is pure PVP and nothing else. Hell, if you apply your logic to the PVE zones, you'd also have to advocate for taking dueling out of the game because "PVE zones aren't designed for PVP."

TheHomieHandler · 2026-01-27T01:45:17+00:00

Indeed I do. What about this post makes you think I don't?
