The Best Builds for Elder Scrolls Online

ESO fans are always looking for advice on the best builds.  The Solo MMO Player prefers Deltais Gaming as he likes the detail and the feel that Deltais understands the details.  If you are an old WOW player looking for expert advice, Deltais harks back to the thorough advice that old WOW players used to share.

Guild Wars 2: What is Condition Damage?

What is condition damage?  Condition damage is a secondary attribute that improves the damage you inflict.
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Condition_Damage

Damage is called DPS in World of Warcraft.
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Damage

What are conditions?  Here is a list of conditions you can use making your gear.  Apparently you build through both a character tree and through conditions you build into your gear.

Rift: Rogue Tanks at Level 50

Here is a tanking build for the level 50 rogue.
http://www.riftjunkies.com/2011/03/04/soul-build-library-rogue-tanking-spec/

More rogue tank information.
http://rift.ign.com/articles/reviews/7217/Sprawls-Scrawl-Riftstalker-Rogue-Tanking-in-RIFT

Here's an explanation of "rogue tanking" for those who think the term is an oxymoron.  There are builds and a bit of theory crafting as well.
http://www.progamercity.net/rift-guides/1307-guide-rift-riftstalker-tanking-explanation-beginners.html

By the way, the little testing that the Solo MMO Player did on a rogue tank build doesn't work well.  This wasn't tested completely but there seem to be problems, perhaps because these things were worked out on beta releases.
