Hatchling’s Shell is a Heavy Armor Set in The Elder Scrolls Online.

Set Info

Type: Heavy Armor Set

Location: Shadowfen

DLC : No DLC

Style : Argonian

Description

The Set is available as an Overland Drop in the Shadowfen zone.

The Set’s bonuses boost your Armor and Maximum Health. With its fifth piece bonus whenever you take damage you gain a damage shield that absorbs damage for 6 seconds. This effect can occur once every 6 seconds and scales off your Max Health.

This is mainly a Selfish, starter Tank Set that boosts your Maximum Health, Physical Resistance and Spell Resistance, making it easy to learn the role of Tank in the game as a new player.

When you become more familiar with tanking in ESO you should replace it with a better Tank Set option like the Ebon Armory Heavy Armor Set for PVE Tanking.

The set could find some use in PVP “Tanky” Builds thanks to its resistances bonuses and of course the permanent Damage Shield. But in general it is just a starter option that you will eventually have to replace with something better to achieve your goals.
