ESO Character Planner Calculator

Building a character in Elder Scrolls Online involve a variety of decisions. Decisions include picking a race, a class, and various attributes, champion points, gear weights, and skill bars. Each of these contribute to the power of your character in-game, as well as it’s survivability.

All of these contribute to a character build, which must be adjusted to play specific type of content within the game. Planning tools are useful in that they allow players to visualize all of these aspects of a character within a single picture. Furthermore, planning tools allow players to test each of these aspects before they spends their game gold on gear that may be required to maximize their character’s effectiveness.

How to Build a Character in Elder Scrolls Online

The calculator within these planning tools will mathematicaly calculate the effectiveness of a player’s character after they enter their race, class, role target, and content type. Each of the aspects of a character work in relation with the other aspects, which contributes to the readiness score that is displayed after the player completes the calculation. This readiness score will inform the character builder of how close to the requirements of their characters role target they are.

Each of the aspects will have certain impacts upon the readiness score. For instance, the bonuses from the races provide small percentage bonuses to the character’s stats. These bonuses, however, are only significantly valuable if the other aspects of the build is completed as the game suggests.

Attributes require a certain tradeoff from the player. A player must distribute 64 attribute points between the health, magicka, and stamina of there character. For instance, a player who intends to play a stamina damage dealer will invest all of their attribute points into stamina.

In this case, they will rely upon food and gear set bonuses to contribute to their health pool. A tank, however, require a greater amount of health. If, however, they invest too much of their attribute points into health, they wont have enough resources to perform blocking or taunting actions in the game.

The planner will indicate the resources that a player will generate, allowing them to determine if their attribute points distribution is realistic prior to spending attribute points on a respec. Gear weights has an impact upon a player’s character, much like attributes. For instance, light armor gears provides recovery of magicka and spell penetration.

Medium armor gears provide more stamina and weapon damage. Heavy armor gears provide resistance to certain game elements, and tanks or players who compete in PvP (player versus player) brawlers use them primarily. Most player builds feature five or six pieces of their favorite gear weight, using the remainder of their gear for set bonuses.

The gear weight calculator will determine whether or not the player’s gear weights are in line with their role target. For instance, a stamina damage dealer will receive a lower readiness score if they choose to use six pieces of heavy armor. Champion points and Mundus stones require contextual knowledge to understand their value.

For instance, if a player has 900 champion points, they has enough to select a few slottables that will provide beneficial skills to their character. What they select,
