Equinox

Overview: Bring the flame of day or the cloak of night with Equinox, an adaptive sorceress with an answer for almost anything. Equinox is two frames in one, and you’ll have to repeatedly battle Tyl Regor on Uranus to obtain the eight required components.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Nightblade

Nightblades blend dark magic with sleight of hand, leaping out of nowhere to fell opponents with a flurry of blades or siphoning their vital essence from afar. They also excel at exploration and scouting in PvP. Skill Lines: Nightblade possesses the usual three unique skill lines to choose from, with passives that increase your defence and regenerate your resources: Assassination: Deal massive bursts of damage to weakened foes or mark them for death with a deadly debuff. There are some good damage and utility options here, including a cheap Ultimate that can restore your resources.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Necromancer

Do you like poking corpses with a stick? Do you like throwing bits of corpse at people? If so, you might want to consider Necromancer! Skill Lines: Like all classes in ESO, Necromancer comes with three unique skill lines that you can base your build around. Note: Many of these skills will draw the ire of guards if cast in towns, since necromancy has something of an… image problem. Bone Tyrant: Shrug off damage with your undead flesh, reap a harvest of stolen life with an arcane scythe or pin foes with skeletal hands. Functioning as the tanking and crowd-control … Continue reading The Elder Scrolls Online: Necromancer

Prime: Rhino prime does exist, but the relics containing his parts are currently “vaulted” and will not drop from any source.

Gara

Overview: Clad in crystal armour, Gara forms molten glass rings then shatters them for massive area damage, while protecting herself and her allies with clouds of razor-sharp crystal. Try Gara if you want a tough, high damage frame with built in crowd-control – you can pick up the blueprint from the Saya’s Vigil quest and parts from bounties on the Plains of Eidolon. Prime: The primed version of Gara gains additional health and armour. Relics containing her components can be found in most mission types, but I recommend: Blueprint: Xini (Eris) interception with a 14.29% chance on round 3 and … Continue reading Gara
