The Elder Scrolls Online: Classes and specializations

The Elder Scrolls Online: Classes and specializations. Compare their roles and mechanics, then open the available detailed configurations to see exact selections.

Character skills draw from class, weapons, armour and other unlocked lines. The selected party role should guide your resources and skill bars.

ESO has seven base classes. Weapon, guild, armour and alliance skill lines add choices, while subclassing can replace eligible class lines. The build below deliberately keeps the Dragonknight class kit instead of silently assuming subclass unlocks.
