Undisputed best CC in the game. Warden may have JUST NARROWLY beat it as a traditional Sword & Board Smorgasbord, but no class even comes CLOSE to this hellspawn’s CC GODLINESS

Anonymousany advice on an Altmer DK. I honestly plan on keeping it to banks crafting items, it was my first, does anyone has tips for 'building' it though?

I'm surprised that you don't have Brands of Imperium, Vampires Cloak, and Thurvokun as sets that are recommended for a tank

AnonymousTo bad it doesn’t show costs of the abilities and morphs p.s. trying to make stamina dk
