In ESO you don’t always have the privilege of teaming up with your fellows and playing the game properly. Sometimes, you have to experience the journey alone. For that reason, we have here Sorcerer Tank Build - Everlasting Lighting Guide.
In this guide, we are going to make a selfish build for your Sorcerer Class. Don’t worry your character will be strong enough to tank every stop and in return, self heal to stay alive. There will surely be nothing in your way to stop you.
Yes, you can also use this build while playing with your allies because the damage you deal is incredible but selfish. The ability and stats are slotted in such a way that there is no buff for your allies, rather everything for yourself. Now that we got the brief intro to this build done, we can jump straight to the guide.
The Sorcerer Class isn’t commonly associated with a Tank Build but when you start experimenting with their combination things go wild. Background for this build was also created something like that because in this Tank Build you revolve around self-heal and buffs.
You are completely in your zone; the equipment, abilities, and overall setup are done in such a way that you don’t need any support from your allies, rather the damage and resistance is enough to deal with enemies yourself. For this reason, it is referred to as the Everlasting Lighting Guide.

Going all out with this build is essential and for that reason the best bet for Race selection is;
Orc: This race provides you with Health Recovery of around 20 percent and enhances the received health to 5 percent.
Argonian: This race is best suited to the Everlasting Lighting Build Guide because of the passives, healing done enhancements, and healing received enhancements of 5 percent.
In case you want to try something different, you can go for the Nord or Imperial Race as well. Keep in mind all of these builds give you buffs with potions and something extra with attributes.
This is where this build gets strange because you will have to keep the attribute spread nearly even. The reason behind this attribute speed is that you have Sorcerer class and your aim is to make a tank build with it.
You will need all the attributes to make the best out of potions, your equipment, your abilities, and your play style. The main theme here is Healing but you also need the stamina to use the abilities while health is essential for staying alive in selfish builds.

Monster Helm Set: A set that is also a great choice for this build because of its buffs associated with yourself only.
Leeching Plate: Also, a great pick because of the healings associated with damage dealt with enemies.

Being a Sorcery Class Tank Build, you do need to have a lot of health here. Your abilities are put in a specific way that allows you to heal yourself only, but to tank sometimes, you need to have at least health that can come in handy at all times.
The Everlasting Lighting Guide has that Armory that is the supporting act to survive in difficult conditions without a team, while that Aggressive Waghorn ultimate allows for damage absorption at its max. Furthermore, it depends on which things suites best to your style. Just don’t get out of Magicka in this build or prepare some potions to have Magicka reserves all the time.
