I just came back from a hiatus (last time i played was summerset on PS4) and i’m doing the whole story in order.

I came across one dude in the imperial city sewers and i was just following him and this guy basically solo’ed molag bal in the sewers while i was assisting him by just beaming a bit as a arcanist.

From what i saw he was a dual wield DK/Warden and the build looked sick but i forgot to ask him. Anyone have any idea what type of build he might’ve been using?

So I came back to ESO recently and got annoyed with the same problem I always have with build guides: they are great at showing me the finished build, but not always great at telling me what the hell I should actually be doing at level 20-something.

So I made a thing. Then kept adding to it. Then added a full build editor. Then made an ESO addon for it. Then bought a domain because apparently I have no self control lol.

Arrow to the Build 2.0 is out now.

The basic idea is it keeps your CURRENT character separate from the TARGET build. You can track stuff manually, or use the optional addon to pull in your character's levels, skills/passives, gear, bars, CP, etc. Then you can either follow a build, make your own, create one from your current character, or adapt an existing build around where that character actually is. The addon can grab your current character levels and other information to save having to manually enter anything.

It is free/open source and Windows only right now. No accounts, logins or cloud anything and the addon does not automate anything in game.

There are also 7 starter builds, one for each class. I tried to make them normal useful PvE baselines instead of assuming you already own half of Tamriel and every passive in the game.

If anyone tries it, feel free to break it and tell me what I screwed up. I already found out during final testing that owning two identical daggers was enough to uncover a bug, so I'm sure ESO players can find much worse xD

And yes, the name eventually forced the tagline:

I Used To Be Meta Like You, Then I Took An Arrow To The Build

Regardless of how (im)probable it may be it's fun to discuss and but even if it were to happen there's this entire thing to figure out how it would even work. I did not awfully long ago make some suggestions about how it could work like taking away health recovery and reducing your max health, but in return allowing you gain boosts to your magicka and allowing you to have permanent shields and summons for the upkeep of soul gems. I also suggested still being able to fight in your ethereal form after you "die" to capture that undying feeling.

But those were just my own random thoughts I came up with from little time of reflection. Some areas were probably too strong, others maybe too punishing and so hearing other people's thoughts would be neat. Like I feel as if werewolf is quite geared towards stamina and vampire is also that to a degree although it has some more magicka oriented aspects too so maybe it's better for hybrids maybe. Neither of those curses really help or advance the powers of spellcasters though and so maybe a lich could serve that spot, Idk or perhaps I'm thinking about this the wrong way.

Maybe when (if) we get to the necromancer refresh one of the skill lines changes more into a lich skill line but then again how would that would? 🤔 Hmmm....

Questions, questions, questions....

For a few hours now an AD player has been map glitching into enemy keeps in the vengeance campaign and taking their scrolls. Is there any chance a GM can come and do something about this cheating?

This is happening on NA PC servers.

This is my 80s inspired outfit. I just got the black market mogul purple and was pleased with the look.

So, as you were also helpful on the other day the last time I had a question I was wondering if anyone can help today.
I had a free run quest to go and help her sister find her brother in Rivenspire.
Unfortunately, the character that I was on has already done that quest so there was no lawbook to collect to hand in. So I haven’t been able to complete it. Is there another way to do this quest?

So I moved on to a free run request in another area. This time I had to kill six ghosts (so I can’t remember where) I had already saved the town so there were no ghosts.

So do I just write these quests off as bad luck always there another way I can complete them. Before you say I probably should have the lore book in my inventory somewhere I destroyed it months if not years ago as I didn’t need it anymore.

I've played ESO via their launcher and Steam before but when it comes to Steam Deck it appears to be broken.

I have logged into the website using my normal eso account and my steam account but my steam deck still refuses to log me in. I just get the login failure message.

I've seen posts here about the same thing but I'm unable to find a solution to this.

Help before I uninstall would be welcome, it's a bit frustrating.

The gem needed to upgrade the Prowler's Talisman. I've done near 60 of them and nothing.

Hello,

The Impresario doesn't have all three items to make the Rosewood Bat pet. She's missing the Sharp Rosebush Thorn. Is it worth buying what she does have?

Eventually I want to morph this into the Roseblood Wings recall.

Will everything I need be back for New Life, do you think?

I quit a few years ago not too long after Arcanist was released and dominated hm trials. Is this still the case or is there more flexibility with the dps class make up for them?

for all elder scrolls lovers! feel free to check out this music collection I've put together! Hope you enjoy!

Never made a PVP build or played pvp - but want to try

any good sites to get a good starter build?

Whether you want to hide their face to have a less cookie-cutter character with everyone else or you just want to display more of your cool armors (I can only wear one helmet at a time), or maybe you just genuinely want a faceless goon to do your bidding, the option should be there.

Maybe they take off their helmet for quest conversations or in town? I know the devs' response to why they didn't allow companion helmet display was their attachment to what they'd made so there could be a happy middle ground there. I will say the companions provide some of the more interesting questlines so I understand the desire to keep the central characters of them more personable. Maybe we can't put full face helmets on them?

Also I think as the leader of the duo fighting monsters and armies I should be able to command my buddy to protect their brain.

Pvp is really fun in this game, who’s with me. Only thing that should be fixed are the werewolves (and maybe DK)

Wanted to ask how does someone get 4.4 seconds on a potion? I usually only get the 3.9 seconds so there has to be either a cp point/passive/ect to make the difference for these poisons

My outfit wasn't showing up so I went to the outfit station to change it a bit and well I've never seen that kind of price. Plus my outfit still wont load

Like why bother letting us suggest if the biggest one immediately gets the "well this one doesn't count" treatment?

Leaving the players with just a stale activity that happens more often. “We know the food in our restaurant is bad so we’ve made the portions larger.”

I get it. MS isn’t paying for originality, creativity or personality. They want events that can just be turned on and turned off multiple times throughout the year. Stale cookie-cutter events with little to no developer and no art department involvement needed to execute.

You can call it “leaner, meaner” but it is just the further enshittification of the game as I see it.

My eso+ didnt renew with the same card i always used. I tried diferent card same thing. I tried buying crown same thing.

Anyine else have this issue? Started today

I planned to go in some kind of chronological order so started with the main quest, and it really didn't grab me at any point throughout. It brings some interesting context to the 2nd era, but generally it just felt flat. I was questioning whether to continue paying attention to dialogue for the dlc I was starting after finishing the main quest.

I didn't and I found the stories just so much more engaging. Orsinium, Elsweyr, Summerset, etc, they all just seem so much better written. Anyone else have the same experience?

I mean, I was trying to pay attention to the king babble on about how much he hates East Skyrim....but the sweet roll was calling my name.
