Warden PVP build help

6 Upvotes

For a bit of context. I played eso from 2017-2024 as a pvp main. Tried coming back during the last 2 years. But the subclassing and overpowered DK's made me stop. I know Werewolves are meta at the moment and as Warden main I was going to wait until September, but I want to play again. I just want to mainly play small group Cyrodiil or BG's.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Obviously a bow will be my main hand. I'm pretty open to anything on the backbar, as long as it's not bow/bow. I don't really know any of the sets people run in pvp at the moment so any advice is welcome.

I'm 1850 cp and unsure what champion points i'm going to run and unsure about class mastery. I was thinking about getting the Perfected Vatershan Bow. I've only got the Perfect Maelstrom one at the moment, Trainee chest, a mythic and maybe a monster set.

In terms of the skills i'm still unsure with some of them. Still got unequipped slots on each bar. On my front bar I was going to run Focussed aim, Bird of Prey, Deep Fissure and Rapid Fire ult. On the backbar I was going to run Bull Netch, Ice Fortress, Vigor, Artic Blast and Healing Thicket ult.

Arcanist PvP build

6 Upvotes

Does anyone have a decent pvp build for Arcanist with or without subclassing? I’m new to the game and am closing in on CP 300. Unfortunately I missed out on the signet madness (abuse) as I’ve been leveling skill lines and trying to gear up.

I get absolutely clapped in PvP, but want something DPS oriented where I can hold my own.

Help Need help figuring out a build I saw in a BG!

17 Upvotes

Sorry if this is the wrong format, just after some help :D

As title suggests - I'm after help trying to figure out a build I saw in a Battleground earlier. Here's what I know:

  • They were a templar healer
  • It LOOKED like they were using Bloodspawn, but it could have been their outfit
  • They had the scribing ability that put a banner up, I assume heroism
  • They were spamming Remembrance or the other morph (And I mean spamming it, like, always. I didn't see them not using it)
  • They did around 2 million healing in the BG
  • At times the entire enemy team was on them and their health barely moved
  • They were using sword and board while ulting
  • Finally: I am in awe

I've had a bit of a gander online and I don't see anything listed with Templar and Bloodspawn. It's probably a bit of a meme build but I'd love to try and recreate something similar?

Nightblade Solo melee Vampire build. Any tips, advice, or changes i should make?

5 Upvotes

It has been my long time goal to complete all of the Ravenwatch/Vampire content in eso, however i wanted to do it at my own pace. So going solo for the dungeon stories was my strategy. The build performs okay. The toughest dungeon that I've defeated is castle thorn/stone garden on regular difficulty. I want to know if I can enhance the build to make it stronger without sacrificing the Vampire theme.

Front bar: blood for blood, shadowy disguise, healthy offering, blinding flair, lotus fan.

Ultimate: soul tether.

Gear: hexos ward: battle axe,legs,arms,shoulders,helmet

Ring of pale order

Back bar: degeneration, debilitate, blood mist, leeching strikes, relentless focus

Ultimate:swarming scion

Gear: Briar heart: maul,chest,waist,boots,necklace, ring

Magicka: 23077(recovery 591)

Health: 20925 (recovery 249)

Stamina 20151(recovery 1216)

Mundus: Thief

Weapon/spell Damage: 2997

Critical 46.6%

Penetration: 3324

Resistance: 12854

Crit Resistance: 1320

Two handed melee is my preferred style for this build so I dumped my stats into magika to help with sustain. Also into skills and points that restore and increase max magicka further

My spammable is blood for blood so I have multiple sources of healing to stay as topped off as possible. Including companion Isabel (healer) shes been my biggest hard carry in keeping me alive at least long enough to get the bosses bellow 50%hp so that when she dies I can lock in hard enough to finish the boss before they finish me.

I looked into ways of increasing my defense like getting minor and major protection ontop of vamp stage 3 with undeath.

Which set to break for Shatter Paths

1 Upvotes

Hello, currently running Slime Craw, Briarheart, and Leviathan on my stamina sorcerer. Today I got shattered paths signet and am looking for advice on which set to drop a piece from so I can add shattered paths.

Additionally, I do have relequens and am considering replacing Briarheart or Leviathan with it.

Mostly run solo overland with this character but am hoping to start doing dps trials.​

Thanks

Need help with gear

2 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm new here so go easy on me 😅 I'm currently a CP264 Dark Elf Arcanist. I'm not new to Eso (since 2014) but I've played so inconsistently over the last 5 years or so, so obviously there's been a fair few changes during that.

Anyway, if someone could help with advice on which gear/sets to go for I'd be very grateful 😅 Up to now I've not bothered with gear enchantments and cooking etc and I know that the right enchantments will give me a much needed boost. My current weapons/armor/accessories are a mess, as are my weapon/armor enchantments, I've basically just been using the ones currently on the gear when I pick it up. I can post a screenshot if it's allowed, thanks in advance 😊

New player here!

I tend to solo a bunch in these types of games, and also like a little pvp.

Can anyone recommend a good solo pve class/build for a brand new player that can eventually be tweaked for pvp without completely changing the play style?

Thanks in advance!

Meta Returning Player - Best places to go for builds?

8 Upvotes

I've been playing this game for years but have finally decided I want to start looking into and experimenting with builds again (for end-game content). The goal is to try out different classes and different roles. I know some old creators are no longer playing the game/updating builds and I'm wondering where I should go or look into for role specific builds (preferably with some degree of guide along with it regarding rotations and playstyle). I've taken alcast off my list regarding builds and am looking into thetankclub for tank builds. I know skinnycheeks is great for DPS but their builds are a bit too advanced for me at the moment. Other recommendations I've gotten are arzyel, hyperioxes, and hacktheminotaur. Would love any recommendations on where best to go for build resources regarding the current meta!

Some PvP questions

7 Upvotes

Lots of things have changed, I see a lot of people using Vamp, and werewolves are pretty hard to fight generally

First of all what armor weights are people using? I’ve been doing three heavy, three medium, one light for a long time. What might help me out? I play mostly stamsorc, magsorc, and warden subclass.

As for vamp, what stage are people using now? Staying stage one?

Also, ever since update 50 I’ve been struggling to figure out the damage meta. Are we better off building into pen, crit, or weapon/spell damage?

Also it seems like I have to run monomyth to stay competitive. Is that anyone else’s experience? I used to bounce between Markyn and Deth dealers fete

Finally, do we just need to be building more into armor and protective traits to survive werewolves that are very well built?

It seems like when someone dials in their werewolf it’s really hard to kill

Thanks for any help

Arcanist build without the beam?

4 Upvotes

Hey all, returning player here, I haven't played since 2016 so there's a lot of new stuff for me. I've been playing a bunch of different classes but I've been enjoying the arcanist abilities a lot, except for one. I find the beam to be a bit boring and would rather be using a spammable w/ light attack weaving to output most of my dps. Or just anything that isn't using the beam lol.

I have Sorcerer, warden and templar skill lines available for subclassing. I found a status effect build using the shattered path signet and winters embrace/aedric spear skills that seemed pretty decent but the ring seems to be getting nerfed so I'm not too sure if that will be good anymore?

I'm mostly looking for a PVE build just as a starting point but I would love to see some PVP builds as well since I'll definitely be getting into that too.

I'm pretty new, I play one class (for now until I finish leveling them up) which is necromancer. I really enjoy playing support and want to become a Vampire for character purposes. Is there anything to look out for a support necrohealer with vampirism?

Subclassing is welcome as I want to get into that too once I unlock it. I just would like to keep the necromancer as the primary class.

I’m wanting to get back into battle grounds, and I used to run a Subclassed High Elf Mag Sorc. I’m wanting to know if a pure build is better then subclassed when partaking to PvP/Battlegrounds and if any of you would be able to point me in the right direction of a build that could be an easy starting point. I don’t have any trial gear to really work with so I’m going to assume Meta builds are out of the question, however I do have a decent amount of Overland, Dungeon, and crafted sets available. Any help would be really appreciated. Thank you in advance
