Getting the "Most" out of my Redguard for PVP.

MTrent24

Hello,

So I have played Oblivion, Skyrim, and now Elders Scrolls Online. I have always favored playing a character that resembles me (Red-guard). I admit I have never read any lore nor did any research on Red-guards until this year. In previous games I normally just grabbed the highest heavy gear I could find along with the heaviest two handed weapon and off I went. With the introduction to PVP it forced me to actually learn in order to be competitive. The ideal is to play to my advantages in order get kills and/or survive. With that being said are there any recommendations/build in order for me to reach the max potential with my Red-guard.

I have recently moved to Europe and have switched to the EU server. Which gives me a great excuse to create a new build.

Now let's discuss class.
In short, which class passives offer me to most Stamina?

Night-blade offers = more critical strike
Sorcerer = Unholy Knowledge does reduces magicka and stamina cost by 3% and 5% when morphed.
Templar = Critical Strikes, Blocking, and Spell Damage
Dragon-knight = Flame damage

So Sorcerer would overall be better for a stamina build, based on the passives above???

Next is Gear.
No brainier all Medium for max stamina.

Then we have Weapons.

Bow: Ranger Passive Reduces the Stamina cost of Bow abilities by 10% & 20 when morphed%

Two Handed:
Passives: Battle Rush Increases your Stamina Recovery by 15% & 30% for 10 seconds after killing a target.

One Handed: (Which is the Red-guard Racial Passive also) Improves your standard bash attacks. Bashing deals 50% additional damage and cost 20% & 40% less Stamina when morphed.

Dual Wield Passives: Mostly Weapon Damage and Crit.

Not even going to look at the staffs.

So by the looks, to get the max of of my Red-guard I would have to be a Stamina Sorcerer in full Medium armor with 2 Handed Weapon and Bow???

Anyone understanding this the way I do?
I know sets play a big role but this is without going into armor sets and enchantments.

This is used for PVP only in a campaign without champion points.

Thanks

For stam sorc its actually a no brainer to go with heavy not medium.

Heavy is the meta . So yeah it is a no brainer

Medium armour has nothing to do with the amount of max stamina mate. I suggest you use black rose for PVP. No matter that will give you good max stamina and resource management. Resource management is hard with heavy armour so u will need that.

If we're talking complete maximum Stam medium would be what you want to where but I wouldn't recommend it right now. Reason being is you would wear 5 hulk on the body, 1 tremorscale, 1 selene, 5 trainee with bound arnaments , bi stat food , and undaunted. Use a snb as well . With this build all gold you'd have about 54k max Stam. Hope I would be able to help. Very stoned so may have misread you OP but if max Stam is what you solely want that is the build for you

If I were making a 2h/bow stamsorc for a no-CP campaign, I'd probably consider something like 5x Bone Pirate's Tatters (medium), 3x Agility, 2x Velidreth, Maelstrom 2h + Maelstrom bow. Use the 5000 health + 457 mag recovery DRINK - unless the new life festival brings us a nice fancy stamina drink like witch's brew. You'll end up with around 1700 stam regen and 1200 magicka regen, and you can use Dark Deal to supplement stamina needs.

But I'm not a huge fan of just blindly following the supposed "black rose heavy armor meta" that people rave about as if it's the end all be all.
