[ARCHIVED] ESO Trials Guide – Recommended Red CP
This guide is archived, as it is now out of date.
This guide covers how to properly go about setting up your Red CP (defensive) on your DPS and healer characters for the various veteran trials. Each trial in the Elder Scrolls Online has its own set of unique mobs and mechanics. Sometimes, these mechanics favor magical damage, physical damage, DoT damage, pure burst, etc. DPS and Healer characters can optimize their red CP for each one of these trials to help make the trials go more smoothly, and help maximize the amount of mitigation you gain in each specific encounter. For example, there isnt much use in having any points into Hardy if your character will be taking primarily magical damage in a trial, so those points would be better spent elsewhere. By following the chart below, it will help optimize your character’s defensive CP for trials and help make guild runs smoother, as well as make PUG groups just a little bit easier!
Note: This Red CP chart below is used by many members of my trials guild and was sent to me for use on the site – I am not the original creator.
