how skills in Elder Scrolls Online work

First of all you need to understand that there are at least 6 categories of skills that are available to every player right from the start. These categories are open and can be seen in the special tab. You can master any of the skills you see in that tab. There are also closed categories that can't be seen in the beginning of the game. Elder Scrolls Online is based on exploration and you will have to find several skill lines yourself. For example you can join Fighters Guild and receive special skill line there.

As I said in the beginning, there are 3 global categories of skills that you must know:

Class Category - this category consists of 3 subcategories with 10 skills in each. Each player has 30 class skills and can master all of them while playing ESO. Class skills depend on your character's class. For example if you decided to play as a Templar you will see all abilities of this class there.

Weapon Category - is dedicated to the weapons. There are 6 weapon categories in the game: Two Handed, Sword and Shield, Dual Wield, Bow, Restoration Staff, Destruction Staff. Each weapon category has 10 skills. Unlike Class abilities that depend on your Class, Weapon abilities are available to all players. It allows any player with any role to use any weapon he wants. You may see a healer with a bow or with two handed sword in Elder Scrolls Online.

Armor Category - there are 3 armor types in ESO: light, medium and heavy. Armor skills allow you to use your armor better and consist of passive abilities.

All abilities are divided into 3 big groups: active, passive and ultimate. Active abilities can be places on your hotbar and can be used in battle. You don't receive any benefits from such spells until you activate them. Passive abilities don't require activation. They gain you different bonuses once mastered. That's why they are called passive. The third group is Ultimate Spells - the most powerful and deadly. You can use Ultimates like other active skills but they require special recharging. You need to restore your Ultimate pool to be able to use such ability again.

How to master?

There is only one way to master new skills. If you want to advance in Dual Wield skill line you need to use Dual Wield weapon in combat. When you use definite weapon your mastery is growing and you receive special ranks that allow you to learn new abilities. Everything is simple - if you want to advance in Bow skills - use bow in combat.
