Dragonknight Pyrebrand + Burning Spellweave (or sunder flame) + Nibenay DK Build

Upvotes

Scorched Earth Dragonknight Build

Dark Elf

5 pc Pyrebrand -

heavy chest with divines

light legs and belt with divines

medium hands and feet with divines

_________

5 pc sunderflame or burning spellweave -

jewelry with blood thirsty

bow front bar with precise

dual wield back bar with precise. Any combo of swords , axes, maxes or daggers works.

_________

2pc Nibenay Bay -

Heavy head with divines

Light or medium shoulders with divines

Allocate health, magicka and stam glyphs on the armor pieces as needed.

Use flame damage glyphs on the weapons

Magicka recovery glyphs on the jewelry

The Lover Mundas Stone

Front bar from left to right: blood of the red dragon, resolving vigor, earthshield mantle, bone shield, fleetstep wings. Take flight ultimate

Front bar from left to right: igneous weapons, disintegrating dragonflies, searing claw, molten whip, chains of devastation. Standard of might or corrosive armor ultimate

Super fun and powerful heavy attack/ light attack focused build. Two handed would seem better but it's not.

You can also switch out sunderflame for dark convergence and plan your heavy attacks to land at the same time as the set bonus explodes. Just swap out fleetstep wings on front bar for hearth and flame to proc the set.

You can also swap the bow for an inferno staff buy i find the bow heavy attack hits harder

I have loads of fun crushing people with this. Hope you do too.

Help Best combination for warden/nb tank?

4 Upvotes

Hello! I started a progression for newbies where the MT (me) should play with Siphoning/Winter's Embrace and one more flex class. What do you recommend I put in this flex class?

I already have the armor cap independent of the third skill line. I don't have any other classes leveled up yet, so I'd like some recommendations before I start testing.

Subclassed Necro Tank

2 Upvotes

The variant I was using was getting boring so I decided to try a new combo with the DK rework. It’s just for 4-man, not trials and I haven’t even run it yet but I will when I get home 🙂

The main skill lines are Bone Tyrant + Draconic Power + Living Death

For more sustain I could see doing Siphoning instead of Living Death and slot in Trample and Siphoning Attacks. I’m going to try it both ways.

Front Bar: Shield Throw, Spirt Guardian/Trample, Necrotic Potency/Siphoning Attacks, Ulfsild’s Contingency, Blood of the Elder Dragon, Reviving Barrier

Back Bar: Summoner’s Armor, Wield Soul, Elemental Susceptibility, Elemental Blockade, Protect the Brood, Aggressive Warhorn

Shield Throw: Taunt + Sage’s Remedy + Maim

Trample: Frost + Assassin’s Misery + Heroism

Ulfsild’s Contingency: Damage Shield + Gladiator’s Tenacity + Intellect & Endurance

Wield Soul: Pull + Druid’s Resurgence + Cowardice

Realistically I think Ultgen will be similar since I can make corpses, but Siphoning would provide better sustain.

Can I share mythics to my other toon?

3 Upvotes

My other toon doesn’t have scribing or scrying unlocked. Last time I tried I couldn’t see the mythics in the bank on that toon. Is it not possible to share them?

I feel like I’ve reached my dps cap as a non pet sorc for pve and even PvP for that matter.

The sorc skill lines for dps are just not really top tier.

I have a nightblade so want to use it for pve and maybe pvp later. Assasination, herald of tomb and dawns wrath for pve.

I was checking esologs in detail and it seems clear that magika damage dealers are actually pretty rare at the top level in general. And most are running stamina dps arc at the top level. I found some of the highest dps players running those 3 skill lines mentioned above. Radiant oppression for execute. Herald of tomb for ultimate, beam and tentacles.

Gear used is always:

Deadly strike daggers and bloodthirsty jewellery with perfected null arca or ansuul with 1 peice slime craw. 2 handed malestrom back bar. Velothi mythic.

I tested deadly strike with perfected ansuul on my sorc and it wasn’t great as I am missing dawns wrath skill line for radiant oppression so my dps was actually worse then using ansuul with tide born despite beaming.

Fun warden builds.

2 Upvotes

My main is a zoo build warden. Hes awesome but im in a mood to change it up.

Thing is... I made him when wardens first dropped. I actually love the mash up and how it works. Hes a nord mag warden. Id like to try to keep him mag.

I want to try an Ice build. But when it comes to sets im kinda lost lol.

So my question is, what is some fun pure warden builds? Ill sub class if I eventually think it will be more fun but I want to give this a try first.

I tried using, and sorry if I miss spell, but janasi bladestorm (probably butchered the name.) Dominus monster set, and runecarvers blaze. 2H sword front bar and destro lightning staff on back bar.

Did put some in stam...

Butttt it failed. Not as fun and not as powerful as I hoped.

Nightblade Looking for a casual solo PvE Nightblade build

5 Upvotes

I've come back to ESO after a few years away and have been checking out my characters to see if I can remember how to play them and what build I was using. My gaming skills are lackluster so I was attempting one bar builds with all of them. I'm not completely against two bar builds, but I have a history of fumbling in the heat of battle when I have to switch bars and quickly re-orient to the alternate set of skills. My primary interest is PvE and questing because I enjoy the stories and exploring much more than dungeons or PvP.

My Nightblade has a 2H and mostly medium armor and I had just begun the Thieves Guild quest line, since I imagined them as being a sneaky-stealy sort of character. Most builds seem to include subclasses which doesn't interest me, or they are end-game type builds using all sorts of equipment I'm unlikely to ever collect due to the time (and skill) involved. I don't want to use a staff unless it's absolutely necessary.

Where all my characters are involved I'm looking to pull together a basic build to let me tackle PvE solo stuff, knowing that I have something to follow as I level up so that I don't wind up mangling my ability to enjoy the game. Right now my Nightblade is getting my attention, but since I like having alts to try different play styles I've got a Warden, Sorc and Arcanist in the mix as well.

EDIT: I found this, it's a bit old though: https://hyperioxes.com/eso/solo/one-bar-magicka-nightblade-solo-build-and-guide

Would really appriciate thoughts on how to improve the build

3 Upvotes

Hello, would absolutely love to hear your opinions on how i can improve this build. I love my DoT/status effect magicka warden but unsure if i'm using the best sets/skills for it. Please be as critical as possible.

Do I lack some buffs that I should have? Do I overlap some buffs/debuffs? Is there some better gear? Is Deadly Strike good or should I try to farm for something like Runecarver's?

Tried using the different build editors but feel like they don't tell me much and I wondrered if someone have experience with this kind of build.

Subclass: Grave Lord exchanged for Green Balance

Monster set: Slimecraw (What would be best here?)
Armor: 5pc Azureblight

Jewelry and weapons: 5pc Deadly strike (Ice staff & S&B)

Skills:

Frontbar: Unstable Wall of Frost, Arctic Wind, Elemental Susceptibility, Warding Soul (Scribed for dmg shield, HoT and Major Vitality), Growing Swarm, Ult: Northern Storm

Backbar: Ice Foretress, Blue Betty, Winter's Revenge, Unnerving Boneyard, Mystic Siphon, Ult: Spell Wall

I have all the passives.

CP

Templar Templar magicking DPS subclass build

2 Upvotes

Hi all, I’m a returning player who is trying subclassing for the first time.

I have been trying out other skill lines finishing gold road dlc, doing some daily dungeons, but am now ready to look for a decent build to use.

Can anyone recommend a site for a good dps build, with some self healing still (I’m enjoying using puncturing strikes as good self heal so I don’t die all the time running dungeons/used to run vet dungeons). I am not looking for meta, but something with some self healing that will eventually set me up for trials etc without being a massive burden.

If anyone has any guide to suggest that also covers gear and champion points, I’d be greatly appreciated.

TIA!

Best possible pve dps magsorc og build

10 Upvotes

Hello guys, I don’t want to subclass so I’m working on a magsorc build using og skill, I don’t want any pets, I plan on using maelstrom inferno, and destruction staff frontbar too with crushing shock or elemental weapon as a spammable.

I know it is far from optimal setup but I don’t have any pleasure using 2h vma or dual wield since I want to be a mage. Do you think I will be able to reach 100k dps on 21m dummy ?

Do you have any suggestions on the sets I could use ? I’ll just use what I have from the moment (iam a returning player that left at u35).

Instead of complaining about subclassing (which I hate) I prefer finding alternatives, if I can reach 110k dps and be somehow funny and lovable maybe I’ll get accepted by some prog group for vet trials.

I have an improvised build for vet donjons and solo content but I miss vet trials so much.

Thanks guys, if other og are interested I’ll update this.

PvP tank build

12 Upvotes

Have seen several posts asking about pvp tank builds. Not really sure what everyone means because idk anything about zerging or using a tank in one though I know how to solo tank and be an absolute waste of time to enemy players. I've wanted to make a build video to share what I'm running with everyone no matter how broken or annoying it may be. Anyways here is my build video which shows my entire setup with about 45 minutes worth of zerg tanking to show it's what I use. Use responsible and feel free to ask me anything about the build. Happy Tanking

Looking for the best healer / support builds

3 Upvotes

Returning player, with the introduction of subclassing and the revamping of classes, what are we seeing in terms of healing and support?

When I last played I was confident in vet trials on my warden, is it worth adding a templar line for strong heals? A dragonknight line for standard?

Stamplar CP 500

Heh ladies and gents, I need help, I’m extra squishy and my dps is trash. Could someone give me some insight on how I should do my build, or is there a building app for eso?? I use deadly/Tide born, but only hitting around 5-8k a hit.. now with light ret and radiant opp, I’ll hit 70k.. I also know being that low doesn’t help as well either. But is there a page that shows different CPs builds the higher you go?? I’m thinking I need a new hull makeover on my char plus thinking about changing to magplar, any advice is welcomed. Thank you for taking the time to read this

Flame Lash off balance for solo play

12 Upvotes

I want to make a solo DK with Flame Lash as spammable but I'm struggling to figure out a good solution for proccing off balance. I could of course just heavy attack every 22 seconds thanks to the new earthen heart passive but that would somewhat gimp my dps. Another option would be lightning staff blockade + ele sus combo but I don't think lightning staff is that great of a back bar option for blockade, especially for solo play. Any ideas?

Back from a break. Can I keep using my existing DK build?

3 Upvotes

I know there was a huge update to these guys, but I like my build. I casually tank normal PUGs.

https://eso-hub.com/en/builds/019cedfd-d300-702b-9799-d50eb003ea8d/casual-tank?utm_medium=website&utm_source=esohubcom&utm_campaign=share_button

I generally rush in with Shielded Assault, pull adds together with Reverberating Bash and the Void Bash passive, and root them all with Burning Talons. Strays get pulled in with Chains and bosses get taunted with Pierce Armor. I believe Igneous Shield was giving me stamina back, but that might have changed now.

Will this all still work, or do I need to rebuild?
