Should you play this build?
The ESO Stamina Warden PvP Build build is for players that are looking to play battlegrounds or Cyrodiil content with a well-rounded class. The ESO Stamina Warden PVP build offers some hard-hitting burst, high mobility and great survivability. The learning curve using the Stamina Warden comes from timing your burst and using both stamina and magicka to survive. Once you begin to learn the skills and timing, you can burst down individual players or groups while being able to survive.

Pros
  • Simple offensive combo
  • Very fast with high escapability
  • Easy burst combo

Cons
  • Limited group utility
  • Gear can be difficult to obtain

Skills
Bar One: Dual Wield Damage
Subterranean Assault (Morph of Scorch | Skill line: Animal Companions) - bursting tool that should be timed with heavy attack/Dawnbreaker to destroy players.

Camouflaged Hunter (Morph of Expert Hunter | Skill line: Fighters Guild) - simple damage added skill that passive increases our critical chance, weapon damage merely for slotting and a great counter gank upon activation.

Bird Of Prey (Morph of Falcon's Swiftness | Skill line: Animal Companions) - speed buff with added benefit of increasing damage by 5% just for slotting.

Rending Slashes (Morph of Twin Slashes | Skill line: Dual Wield) - our simple single target damage over time, combined with plaguebreak DoT for decent pressure damage.

Whirling Blades (Morph of Whirlwind | Skill line: Dual Wield) - massive AoE damage and execute perfect for a big "BOOM" combo with Dawnbreaker.

Dawnbreaker Of Smiting (Morph of Dawnbreaker | Skill line: Fighters Guild) - our bursting ultimate after holding down a heavy attack and landing a sub at the same time.

Bar Two: 2H Sword for Healing & Buffs
Ice Fortress (Morph of Frost Cloak | Skill line: Winters Embrace) - armor buff with minor protection.

Rally (Morph of Momentum | Skill line: Two Handed) - our weapon damage buff that also gives major/minor buff to proc our gear set wretched vitality.

Race Against Time (Morph of Accelerate | Skill line: Psijic Order) - mobility tool and critical damage bonus.

Arctic Blast (Morph of Artic Wind | Skill line: Winters Embrace) - magicka based heal which can also stun enemies.

Resolving Vigor (Morph of Vigor | Skill line: Assault) - stamina based heal over time.

Temporal Guard (Morph of Undo | Skill line: Psijic Order) - our "oh crap" defensive ult though you can use Enchanted Growth from class abilities.

Rotation
Your goal is to time as much damage in a short window as possible. You can do this by working on timing sub, heavy attack, proc set, dawnbreaker (DB), then execute instinctively.

  • Cast your Sub Assaults skill, then wait a split second.
  • Start your fully charge heavy attack (HA)
  • Once sub/HA lands, cast DB immediately
  • Cast whirling blades regardless of the HP just to finish off target
  • If that doesn’t work, Rending Slash until at 35% health or lower then switch to whirling blades spam


Gear
Optimal Great damage, burst and survivability (swap for more damage/group utility).
5pc plaguebreak on front bar, 5pc back bar of choice, monster, mythic. Chart here

Balorgh: obtained in March of Sacrifice Veteran dungeon.
Why? gives most burst potential centered around our dawnbreaker burst combo.

FLEX OPTION
  • Zoal the Ever-Wakeful = counter gank
  • Engine Guardian = resource sustain
  • Scourge Harvest = good self-healing
  • Magma Incarnate = good all-around damage, sustain and resistances

Plaguebreak: obtained via PvP rewards of the Worthy or from Guild traders.
Why? Best bursting tool to take down large groups and a solid single target dot.

FLEX OPTIONS
  • Dagon’s Dominion = No Proc/Np CP Campaign setup
  • New Moon Acolyte = great spell damage on front bar
  • Kynmarcher’s Cruelty =massive AoE debuff.

Wretched Vitality: craftable 3 traits in Deadlands DLC zone.
Why? Carries our resource sustain with back bar of Rally giving us flexibility in skill selection.

FLEX OPTIONS
  • Powerful Assault = group utility and damage.
  • Clever Alchemist = insane burst potential for 8k weapon damage setup.
  • Daedric Trickery = great all-around defensive

Armor of the Trainee: obtained in overland starter areas or trader.
WHY? 1pc only used for little more stats.

Ring of the Wild Hunt: obtained through antiquities leads (5).
  • Greenshade – Symbol of Y’ffre – World Bosses
  • Grahtwood – Face of the Serpent – Elden Hollow Last Boss
  • Glenumbra – Band of Water – Public Dungeon Bosses Bad Man’s Hallow
  • Malabal Tor – Face of the Wolf Beast – World Bosses
  • Murkmire – Charm of the Shapeless – World Bosses, Teeth of Sithis + Tsofeer Cavern Delves

Why? My main survivability tool as a stamina build that lacks burst healing is mobility. It can be swapped out for more damage and use Swift Jewelry instead but I love Wild Hunt still!

FLEX OPTIONS
  • Torc of Tonal Constancy = Sustain
  • Gaze of Sithis = survivability thought changes up setup
  • Death Dealer’s Fete = high max stats
  • Malacath’s Band of Brutality = sustained DPS
  • Pale Order = solo play survivability
