Frost Warden Build Help Plz

5 Upvotes

Okay so I’m sure there are a thousand things wrong with my character but I am looking to enhance her to be as strong as she can be. I mostly play solo but I’d like to get stronger for pvp play as well.

Khajiit Warden CP642

Subclassed Storm Calling Sorcerer

Gear
Head: Nunataks Mask

Shoulders: Nunataks Pauldron

Armor Set: Icy Conjurer

Jewelry: Frostbite

Weapon: Frostbite Ice staff

Front Bar:
Gripping shards, Arctic Blast, Chilling Explosion, Critical Surge, Swarm. Ultimate: Permafrost

Back Bar - not really set up, would love advice here

I do not know what my DPS is and most of my champion points are in critical chance and Magika damage.

The build I have currently I followed mostly from someone online but I don’t remember who. I changed some things to better fit my gameplay style, I like being crowd control so the AOE abilities are my comfort zone.

Any advice is appreciated. If you use game lingo or abbreviations please explain them cuz it is a language I’ve not yet learned fully. Thank you!

Infinite Archive Solo

2 Upvotes

Hey folks,

Just coming back into the game after a break and looking to grind out Infinite Archive before U51 comes through.

Would anyone have a suggestion for a build that would be up-to-date and make it easy to get up to Arc 5?

I have every class and can likely pull together any gear sets that would work the best.

Thanks!

Gorethief question

Thinking about giving this set a try and was wondering if it’s better to use the 1h+shield power bash to protect c it or just the standard bash with whichever melee weapon I want? Also trying to decide which class to use it on. Deciding between warden, Templar or Arcanist

Dragonknight Dragon Knight Infinite Archives Build

7 Upvotes

So, I am starting to build a Dragon Knight specifically for Infinite Archives. I've been to Arx 14 with my Werewolf and Arx 12 with my Arcanist, but using a meta WW that can tank, heal, and dps isn't a challenge anymore. Using an Arcanist in the higher arcs is difficult because having a channeled attack as the only damage option isn't something I can sustain for 5 seconds.

I am wondering what are good sets for DK. I want to use Pyrebrand and work around burning status effects, maybe pair it with Burning Spellweave and Shattered Paths, which I will probably switch to Pale Order in the higher arcs, but I also liked using Kynmarchers Cruelty because it applied a major debuff to all enemies within 8 meters.

Looking for ideas on what are good combination sets or should I forgo the mythic for a monster set? Front bar fire staff, back bar sword and shield? Looking for insight

Discussion Frost build help

9 Upvotes

Im trying to make a frost build for my pure warden for pvp. Im currently using nunatak, hrothgar and winterborn with hrothgar double barred. I was wondering if frostbite might be better over winterborn. I know its not like the meta or whatever but between winterborn and frostbite which would probably do the most damage?

I've been looking for build to play with my magicka dk, but I can only find ones that use sword/dagger and I want to keep my staves.

If this combination is not worth it, what would you recommend?

Discussion MMO vet, brand new to ESO - which class is actually the most fun to pilot?

7 Upvotes

Been playing MMOs for years but somehow never touched ESO. Finally picking it up and trying to settle on a class.

Not chasing meta or parses, mostly just want something that gives my brain something to do while I'm playing. I like fiddling with builds, so anything that's not locked into a single playstyle is a plus.

PVE DPS Sword‘n‘Board Knight Build

9 Upvotes

Hey guys,

Would you help me make it work? I want a real KNIGHT to play DPS/ DD in n/v Dungeons and maybe some vTrials.

If Sword‘n‘Board really doesnt make any sense; I‘d like the Greatsword instead. Offhand selection/ one-bar optional.

I just want that Knight-Feeling.

Class maybe Templar and/ or Dragonknight.

Please and thank you 🥰

Sorcerer Build Sorc for a player who returns after years

4 Upvotes

I don't remember anything about the game, I have an old build on me and the muscle memory of rotation, but I realize I need an upgrade. I'm watching some guides, videos, etc., but they all contradict each other and I don't really understand what it's worth, not to mention the fact that I don't even remember how farming works anymore and that often the pieces I need or would like to play are in dungeons that are not very played. Help, haha. I'd like a good build, Sorc Magika, that does damage and is useful in trials... so far I've done some normal trials and everything is okay, but I would say that in more complex content I wouldn't be able to get by... I also need advice on food and farming methods. So help me to be a decent player because after years I remember very little and there is a lot of new.

Sundering Throw Paladin Build (Pureclass Templar)

3 Upvotes

Hey Y'all! I used most of Hyperioxes build + Some other S+B Paladin Build and combined it to make what I've got. I'm pretty happy with it because on his website his normal templar build parsed 67k, and I hit that amount with this non meta build.

Hexos Ward + Tide Born + Pale Order Ring + Kragh 1pc

I soloed a few vet dungeons w it and I feel like I'm lacking AOE, any tips?

Frontbar S + B

Sundering Throw - Phys Damage, Knight's Valor, Lingering Torment

Power of the Light

Radiant Glory

Luminous Shards

Trap Beast

Ult - Flawless Dawnbreaker

Backbar Maelstrom Ice Staff

Elemental Blockade

Elemental Susceptibility

Restoring Focus

Vampires Bane

Solar Barrage

Ult - Everlasting Sweep

Edit: Here's my CMX pages. Please offer advice for AOE abilities. Also i just learned that hyperiox does his on a 6mil dummy and my build does 38k on the 6m dummy

Help Help with a magicka DPS build for PvE

3 Upvotes

Tried my hand at making a decent DPS build, using herald skills and flame lash as a spam attack, got nowhere near cracking 100k, as well as being prone to a quick death

At the moment im using 5 pieces each of Orders Wrath and Mothers Sorrow, as well as Oakensoul, with Divines on allAbilities being

Flame Lash, Surge, Flail, Vigor and Fatecarver, Tide Kings Gaze as Ult.

Really no idea what Im doing at all. Every adjustment i made seems to make it worse. Somehow im at even less DPS than i was a few days ago and no idea why.

I would prefer to keep using Oakensoul and Arcanist abilities if possible.

Any tips or builds are appreciated

What spammable for mag sorc ?

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to make a build (2 builds in reality, one for pve, another for pvp)

I saw some build using the spammable of a scrib skill.

But isn't it the crystal use as spammable ?

We will use it anyway, for the proc, so why not save a skill slot and use the crystal also for spammable ?

It deals great damage, more than a lot of spammable, right ?

What to use ? And why ?

Pure Class SOLO Stamina Templar - ONE BAR (oakensoul) - PVE

How can I improve my solo one-bar Stamina Templar? 76k trial dummy / 51k 6M, no trial sets

Hi guys,

I'm looking for some advice on how I can take my character further.

I play a one-bar Stamina Templar with Oakensoul, almost entirely SOLO.
I have two-bar build for PVP.

My current content is mainly:

  • Master difficulty overland
  • Veteran arenas
  • Solo bosses / harder solo challenges
  • Veteran Dungeons

I DON'T DO TRIALS, so I'm specifically looking for improvements that don't require trial gear.

I'm not necessarily trying to turn this into a pure dummy-parse build. I enjoy overcoming difficult solo content, but I also want to see how much more damage I can get while keeping the build comfortable and fun to play.

Unbuffed stats

Help Builds, DPS, and Trial Gear

6 Upvotes

Hey, so I have some questions, and I need some advice. I'm about CP 500 and still feel pretty new to the game. I've been playing casually, avoiding all the super hard stuff, and that means I don't have any of the really good trial/arena gear sets. How much do you think that makes a difference?

I found some cool builds that I've tried. When I make the builds I follow everything exactly (except replace trial sets with crafted sets), practice the rotation, get good at light attack weaving... and still get crappy DPS on the practice dummies. I think I get around 17-22k for the 6m dummy, and maybe 65-70 on the trial dummy. These aren't very good numbers, right?

So will getting better gear fix it? Do I need to be higher level? How am I supposed to get the good gear if my character isn't strong enough to do well in the trials/arena? I don't want to do the vet stuff if higher level players are going to have to drag me through while I'm 90% dead. That sounds stressful.

I'm still getting my ass kicked by world bosses. So... what steps do I need to take to be less dead and more badass?

Sorc build

I haven’t been playing ESO long I made a DK build because that seemed like the easiest thing to play. Now I’m thinking of making a sorc build. Any recommendations on race/stam or mag? I don’t need recommendations on armor because I’ll play around with a lot of different sets. mainly the burst combo… I don’t know anything about sorc so I’m not sure what the best combo is please be specific on the skills because again idk anything about skills/morphs lol. I want to hit like a truck but not be too squishy if that’s even possible. *EDIT PVP. I don’t PVE at all

Nightblade Nightblade drain tank

7 Upvotes

Any sets that synergise well with a NB Tank? I’m building one myself right now and i’m gonna pure class its since the masteries are just to good to pass up and it feels like it’s one of the only tank classes that can still do overworld stuff without spending 10 minutes in a fight. Love the idea of a drain tank but don’t know if it would fit and if ESO even has any sets for that
