Interested in Stamina Warden PVP build. Thinking of running 2H/DW.

Are you planning to update your warden guide or is pre-murkmire still a good setup? It might be similar to DK build I'm guessing.

Thank you for all the hard work. You make this game more enjoyable.

Hey Logan, I am planning on updating most pvp builds when I live stream again and can do testing, so will take a while but will start around November 11th with streaming again and then I hope I can start.

Till then not much time atm, I have exams this week and then some travelling to do

I also started updating all the builds on my website as you can see in the list on the first page.

Hey. What do you think about "Light Armor Focus" cp passive for magicka classes after last changes?

I do not recommend investing points in there, iirc it just gives you extra resistance right?

@Alcast Thanks for the work. Just checked the build page and found no update on NB healer. Is it even viable after the sledgehammer nerf on funnel health? Even if there is an alternative skill for it, the identity of NB healer seems destroyed to me. What do you think?

Windwalker (PVE StamSorc DD) beginner's build, you have the Agility jewelry with Weapon Damage enchantments. Do you mean Increase Physical Harm? Also, wouldn't that decrease Stamina recovery too much?

@TheRealPotoroo

Nope, he has an absorb stamina glyph on one of the weapons, paired with dubious resource management is fine.

Also Liko released a vid using Rending Slashes as a spammable which allows you to run blue food, if you'd rather.

Asardes · November 2018

Why would anyone run Rending Slashes, which is a DoT as spammable? You mean Rapid Strikes maybe?

@Asardes Look at liko's stamsorc and stamdk video's, both using rending slashes as the spammable

It´s definitely a good spammable

Yes it is viable, I just did not have it ready yet, a bit behind scheudle due to exams that I had to prioritize >.>

Hey, yes I meant "Glyph of Increase Physical Harm". I just call it Weapon Damage. Good that you point it out tho, I might change that one out to name it same as ingame, otherwise might confuse people, thanks.

Ye I will most likely swap stamsorc setup when I do the build video to rending slashes spammable as well. It seems to give more dps AND you can always run blue food.

It is quite frankly a bit sad that a DoT can result in more dps then a spammable direct damage ability, but whatever xD. I used the rending slashes setup on stamdk:

sudaki_eso · November 2018

Nice, thanks, its much appreciated!
As a stamina guy it makes me sad that all the pve stam builds are using the same gear and except for 1-2 skills also the same skills. Its not your fault but damn, we need more diversity here, i guess magicka player have the same fate if they want to get the best out of their class/build.
I know, play as you want but you know what, i would also like to do a much damage as possible as a damage dealer, thats my job/role

Hey, ye I know, build diversity has never been as poop as it currently is....but ye we will seee what the future holds xD

smarmyguy · November 2018

Elo,

I think you should revisit your magic sorc pvp build.

This is my ideal build:

https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Special:EsoBuildData?id=97701

My current build is this:

https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Special:EsoBuildData?id=97524

Maybe you could help me out by confirming if dark conversion is effected by healing buffs?

Also feedback would be cool.

Thanks

@smarmyguy Ye we did change the magsorc build on twitch this week, this is what we came up with:
https://alcasthq.com/eso-magicka-sorcerer-pvp-build1/

https://youtu.be/SR8xYMckB_w

I see you are using Dark Conversion, I used that first too but then swapped to ele drain. I got better sustain, more damage and it also buffs your groups sustain and damage, I would try it out over Dark Conversion. Armor Master is definitely the way to go in my opinion, because it can be slotted on 1 bar only.

My build is optimized for battlegrounds.

Nice one mate i'll check it out. i'm not 100% sure about the skills or cp i'm using atm but the sets seem to work great so il have a look when im home at your build for inspiration.

I like dark conversion for the heal but yea i can see your point.

Cheers mate.

Dark Deal might work better in Cyrodiil or a CP environment. I just noticed that Ele drain has too many benefits for Battlegrounds compared to Dark Deal.
Cheers

Have often wondered for the pet sorc if you cant get Siroria or Moondancer cos lag, is Infallible Aether a good alrernative? Or better sticking to destro mastery or julianos?

Infallible is definitely a decent choice, it also buffs your group in case nobody else uses it. So you could use all of those three sets that you just mentioned. If someone else is already using Infallible, I would not use it, then better use Julianos or Destro Mastery.

Alcast · December 2018

I finally managed to create a Magicka Warden PvP Build. It is optimized for Battlegrounds but also works in Cyrodiil. Check it out here, thanks!

Stx · December 2018

Hello Alcast. I was wondering what a top tier 2 handed stamina dps setup would be for a templar. All the builds out there I have found all revolve around dual wield and bow, but I really enjoy playing my templar with a 2 hander.

I am not planning on running trials often, and really am only interesting in running dungeons with my guild and overland stuff. So I guess I don't need to min max, but I still would like the best 2 hand setup possible so I'm not being a burden to my group.

saucefarb16_ESO · December 2018

Hey Alcast, how are sorcerers holding up in alliance wars and cp battlegrounds ? what would you recommend to a returning player if not that ?

Hey @Stx If you want you could take a look at two of my 2H builds

https://alcasthq.com/eso-stamina-dragonknight-2h-build-pve/
https://alcasthq.com/eso-stamina-sorcerer-2h-build-pve/

Usually it is pretty straight forward in terms of sets. If you can combine Relequen with Advancing Yokeda and Velidreth. So basically same gear setup as any DW/Bow build.

https://eso-sets.com/set/perfect-arms-of-relequen
https://eso-sets.com/set/berserking-warrior
https://eso-sets.com/set/velidreth

If you want to go for a setup with more sustain, then use Vicious Serpent set instead of Advancing Yokeda
https://eso-sets.com/set/vicious-serpent

If you want a basic setup then you could go with gear setup 2 on my 2H builds, aka Hundings, Leviathan and Stormfist.

https://eso-sets.com/set/hundings-rage
https://eso-sets.com/set/leviathan
https://eso-sets.com/set/stormfist

If you are returning then I would check out this build https://alcasthq.com/eso-magicka-sorcerer-pvp-build1/ I got a lot of good feedback for it. It is optimized for Battlegrounds but also works in Cyrodiil. Very tanky setup (due to how shields changed in murkmire) and good damage output.

codestripper · December 2018

Hey @Alcast , Just out of curiosity, how much DPS should I be expecting using the Pet Sorcerer setup on the site?
https://alcasthq.com/eso-magicka-sorcerer-pet-build-pve/

I was thinking about trying it out but if I commit to farming Siroria's I'd want to at least know if it outperforms what I currently have.

Thank you in advance!

I tested a whilee ago 45k should be possible, maybe even 50k if you have enough bloodthirsty.

I might be stupid but I'm trying too follow the sorc pet build but I'm not seeing what type of armor, only the name of it. Like 6 light and 1 heavy, etc.

I know necro is light but I was talking about the other 2.

Heavy/medium monster set. The other 5 piece set is jewelry plus front bar staff. Siroria, if I recall correctly.

I appreciate that. Also another noob question but what traits on each armor pieces do you use? Defines, well fitted, etc?
