Heavy Armor is a skill in Elder Scrolls Online. It consists largely of plate armors. As with the other armor skills, there are only passive skills and a single active ability. These skills generally aid "tank" characters— those who require a lot of health.

Learning

The Heavy Armor skill line is granted the first time you equip 3 pieces of Heavy Armor. You can increase your skill by taking or blocking damage while wearing Heavy Armor, or earning experience with the Immovable skill slotted. The more pieces you are wearing, the faster your skill will increase. Orcs are naturally gifted with Heavy Armor, and will learn the ability more quickly than other races. In addition, you can earn free levels in the skill line by reading Skill Books, which may be found randomly on bookshelves anywhere. The skill books which increase Heavy Armor are:

Armor of Myth and Legend Crafting Motif 3: Wood Elf Style Crafting Motif 42: Hollowjack Belts Crafting Motif 42: Hollowjack Legs Folly in Fixation

Heavy Armor Forging The Masters' Hall Crafting Motif 1: High Elf Style The Rotwood Enigma

Skill Perks

Heavy Armor has an associated skill line that is revealed through wearing, and taking damage in, one or more piece(s) of Heavy Armor. Known abilities are listed below.

Notes

• The numbers displayed here are the base values for the skills. Magicka/Stamina Cost is based on a character of Level 50 160. Damage values are based on Max Magicka/Stamina 12000, Max Health 16000, and Weapon/Spell Damage 1000. The actual numbers you see in the game may depend on a variety of factors, including skill line rank, your equipped weapons and armor, other skills, enchantments, etc. As such, they should only be used as a comparative reference.
