I played stam warden in Cyrodiil, not battlegrounds, but the key I found for myself doing better was lining up the burst damage. So my shalks, cliff racer, and poison injection all hit decently on their own, but the key was getting them to sync up so that shalks hit at the same time as another skill for ever greater burst damage. Also, spamming poison injection or reverse slice on low health opponents for the execute.

I would highly recommend running a shield on stamden. In ESO, each class has different strengths. So if you wish to get the most out of a class, you need to play to those strengths. Well, stamina warden's strength is two fold: it has great burst due to the delayed damage on sub assault, and it is incredibly tanky by way of having the only stamina burst heal in the game and a very strong kit packed with great buffs and utility skills. So naturally, a shield makes those defensive boons even more pronounced.

I just started playing my stamden and am using the following build. Nothing revolutionary, just a staple stamina brawler spec, but the results have been great. x5 Fury (Jewelry+2 body pieces), x5 7th Legion OR Clever Alchemist (3 body+sword&board), x1 Agility/Asylum/Master 2h, and x2 Bloodspawn.

This is for solo play ofc. In larger groups, if you're not spinning you're not winning.

ok, i'll keep an eye on that. I saw alcast shield build, but I need to lvl my shield/1h skill up. I assume this plays well for BGS but in Cyrodiil i want a cleave build?

first off when you hit 50 you want to make sure you go ahead and push to champion point 160. This is where the gear cap is and you will see a massive increase in your damage/sustain/healing etc.

I have been playing for about 3 months now, and for me subterranean assault is my bread and butter. It’s a delayed AoE that hits like a truck, lowers enemies resistances by a lot and is easily timed once you get used to it with a dizzy swing/dawnbreaker/reverse slice combos that will delete people.

I have two different warden builds somewhat copying two guys that I’ve seen make build videos.

Kodi’s Build is a much tankier set up with a smaller learning curve. No range or gap closers. Huge damage and good ulti Regen. If I roll in my guild group I just swap dawnbreaker out for perma frost for Zerg killing.

This build is harder to play imo you are much squishier but is a ton of fun. The tankier build of kodis gives me better results than this build, but it’s due to me still learning the game. But it’s so much fun. I also swapped magnum shot out for dizzy swing. Just a personal preference. I also run two different sets on kristofers build due to me mainly playing non-cp atm due to performance of the CP servers. So I run bone pirate/shacklebreaker/bloodspawn so I can still have good sustain without the cp.

These two builds and gameplay clips helped me understand from a new player stand point about lining up combos, using terrain, not taking uncessary damage, when to be offensive etc etc. Hope this helps!

Personally I’ve settled on 7th legion and spriggans. This means you don’t have to put any CP into penetration and if you’re in no CP spriggans is great. You also have a pretty decent stat pool and with the serpent stone I’ve got 1600 recovery not counting the Netch. If I’m solo I’ll use Troll King, and if I’m playing with a healer I’ll run bloodspawn for more ult gen or selenes or something.

I play a little weird, 2H in front bar as my damage set and dw backbar with my defensive skills plus rending slashes for the year as well as the dot. It’s a better group build than it is solo.

7th legion and troll king is pretty killer especially if you’re an orc and using the new Artaeum takeaway broth though dubious works fine. SB front bar is probably a good way to start, I just hate running 2H backbar and you absolutely need forward momentum.

Thank you, I will def check out the builds. being only playing 2 weeks I know I have a ton to learn still. Like I stated I just felt with Dottz build at least with my gear I couldnt get a kill or even hurt someone enough since my bars felt liek I had 2 damage abilities and 1 gap closer. Not to mention I have no sets etc yet. which is what I need to start looking into for CP 160.

That’s how everyone feels when they start PvP even with good sets. Don’t worry, don’t get discouraged and keep on practicing, find some friendly people to duel with.

@Vapirko So, I see a lot of people talk about the set. Where is the best place to see where the drops or crafted?
