Elder Scrolls Online: 10 Best Skills For The Dragonknight Class

gamerant.com:

The Dragonknight class in The Elder Scrolls Online is typically played as a melee brawler wielding heavy weapons and donning heavy armor. ESO encourages freedom in class builds, though, which means Dragonknights aren't restricted to tanking, and in fact have a swathe of abilities that use Magicka that can even heal.

Elder Scrolls Online: Best Dragonknight Builds, Ranked

The Dragonknight has three class-specific skill trees available: damage over time through Ardent Flame, area-of-effect abilities through Draconic Power, and defensive and supportive abilities through Earthen Heart. While abilities in The Elder Scrolls Online are relatively balanced across the board, some are definitely more of a priority.

Updated January 29, 2022 by Erik Petrovich: Dragonknights in ESO are typically played as melee bruisers, but they have lots of innate class abilities that open up their options to be great Tanks and even Supports. When it comes to morphs, there are some that are just more useful than others for almost all builds. Take, for instance, Empowering Chains. The other option for the Fiery Grip skill refunds Magicka if the ability doesn't connect, while Empowering Chains fundamentally changes how the ability works and even gives a small buff. When making choices for the abilities and passives to go for when playing a Dragonknight, consider your preferred playstyle before anything else. It just doesn't make sense for a Tank Dragonknight to pick up Fiery Grip while DPS Dragonknights will see their damage tick up thanks to the buff.

The Ardent Flame skill tree is based on DPS through damage over time effects and control of the battle. The standard abilities Lava Whip and Searing Strike are the first skills one can pick up in the tree,
