Bosmer Stamina Build

DenMoria · June 2018

While I am loving playing my magplar, I'm getting a little tired of looking at him so I thought I'd branch out a little from my usual comfort zone and leave my magsorc be for a bit.

A could use some advice for a Bosmer Stam build:
I am thinking that I would go bow main and either dual or sword & board secondary. A few thoughts from y'all would be appreciated though. Bear in mind that this is mainly solo with minor PvE group, no PvP.

I'm gathering from many of the builds out there that perhaps a Bosmer is not the best choice for a NB, perhaps a Warden?

Any thoughts you may have would be greatly appreciated.

when making a bosmer build, it is important to set your height to the smallest possible so that you can get increased dps due to killing with cuteness.

I play 3 bosmer stam builds. Nightblade, Sorc and Warden, and I love all 3.

Bow + DW is going to give best results in PVE content. Don't bother with sword and shield unless you want to tank group content or do PVP. 2H is also a good alternative for damage output. Personally I prefer dual wield cause I like double daggers.

If your looking to be top of the trial leaderboards, then Bosmer isn't a good choice. If you want a viable build that's fun to play and best in slot for cuteness, then play a Bosmer.

In my opinion, Sorc is easiest to play over all with great healing and buffs (crit surge). Warden has the best utility and buffs (netch, lotus, etc) and is also really good as a tank. Can essentially DPS or Tank with just gear change and skill swapping on a warden. Also the only class with a stamina heal that doesn't require PVP. Makes leveling undaunted nice if you don't have friends to group with. (Instant queue in group finder as a tank). Nightblade is one of the harder classes to play well, but really good dps and burst.

Bosmer is an excellent choice for PVP on medium armor stam builds. It is not the best for PVE but the difference between Bosmer and say Redguard really only matters if you are pushing top 1-5% and trying to squeeze out some more damage. Otherwise it is more than competitive for PVE as well.

Bow mainbar on only one bar is doable, however for PVE I strongly recommend going Bow/Bow if you want Bow mainbar. IMHO:

For ease of overall play with bows: Sorc>Warden>NB>=Templar>DK

For top performance with bows:
NB>Sorc>Templar=Warden>DK

One complaint with Stam sorc bow builds is it gets boring. For NB they are squishy. For Templars sustain is tricky. For Wardens it feels like all you do is buffs. For DKs you will feel weak if you don't go into melee range.
