The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind eGuide Training Skills Armor Skill Lines

Heavy Armor

Maximum Rank: Heavy Armor Rank 50

Maximum Investment: 13 Skill Points

Investing in the Heavy Armor skill line is an easy choice for any who prize survivability.

Active Ability

Immovable

Activating Immovable grants Major Resolve and Major Ward, increasing your Physical and Spell Resistance by 5280. It also grants brief immunity to knockbacks, stuns, and other hard CC effects. Maximum Stamina has no effect on Immovable’s potency, but a high Stamina pool makes it much easier to deal with the significant activation cost.

Essentially, Immovable serves as both a solid defensive buff and a preemptive Break Free. It’s certainly useful in PvP, but it’s particularly popular among dedicated Tanks.
Available Morphs
Icon Name New Effect

Immovable Brute

While the ability is slotted, each piece of heavy armor worn reduces the cost of Break Free.

Unstoppable

Each piece of heavy armor worn increases the effect’s duration.

Passive Abilities

The Heavy Armor skill line contains five Passive Abilities. Resolve features three ranks; all other Heavy Armor Passives offer two ranks.

Resolve, Constitution, and Juggernaut can all offer aid to anyone using at least one piece of heavy armor, but equipping more pieces improves their effects.
