Introduction

Welcome to Dottzgaming.com’s Stamina Dragonknight Build PvP, Drotoxium, for the Elder Scrolls Online! This build is intended for all types of PVP including Battlegrounds, Cyrodiil, Dueling and Imperial City. This build can be played in both CP and non CP PVP.

Beware when I say all pvp builds are personal preference, if you don’t like a skill on your bar or item piece, by all means change it to your liking. Everyone is different and it’s up to you what you want to change.

Setup

Gear

Gear Explanation

• Bow: The bow offers us many good buffs, but the main reason why we use bow is for its major expedition after we roll dodge for 4 seconds, which gives you an extra 30% movement speed. This extra speed makes it easy for you to escape difficult situations!
• Two-Hander: This is a useful weapon because it gives a lot of damage to burst down your enemies with a wide range of skills offered by its skill tree.
• Fortified Brass: This set is super tanky, giving you 1 max health line, 2 armor bonuses and its 5 th piece gives you a huge amount of armor. Using this set makes up for the in resistances lost from heavy armor.
• Spriggan’s Thorns: This is very nice set to use because it gives you 2 lines maximum stamina, 1 line of weapon damage and its 5^th piece gives 3460 physical penetration. The combination of pairing this with a maul will help you take down even the tankiest of foes.
• Transmutation Bow: We use this specific bow because its second piece bonus gives us some extra mag recovery, which comes in handy because 75% of our back-bar is magicka based. This is a perfect fit in those heated moments when you need the most amount of healing as possible.
• Bloodspawn: This set fits perfectly on this build because we are a Dragonknight; the stamina regeneration and ultimate generation give us extra sustain, and the set gives a lot of resistance, which on top of your major resistance buffs will really help your survivability!
• Stonekeeper: We use this because of its unique 1 tri-stat bonus to help keep our resources balanced.

Attributes

All points into Stamina.

Skills

Main Bar – Two Handed: Executioner, Venomous Claw, Dizzying Swing, Noxious Breath, Rally, Take Flight

Back Bar – Bow: Shuffle, Fragmented Shield, Cauterize, Resolving Vigor, Volatile Armor, Temporal Guard.
Ability Explanation

1. Executioner: This is your execute ability, you this to burst enemies down while they’re under 50% health.
2. Venomous Claw: This ability is plays a huge roll in dots overall because over time the tick increases damage by 9% every 2 seconds over the 8 second duration.
3. Dizzying Swing: This is our main damaging ability; I medium weave off the Dizzying Swing to CC my opponents, making the burst rotation much smoother.
4. Noxious Breath: This is a useful ability because it does a good amount of damage over time, and is also your source to major fracture reducing physical resistances on your targets by 5280.
5. Rally: This skill gives us a ton of buffs; use it to gain major brutality and minor endurance for 20 seconds, and you also heal yourself at the end of the ability. If you choose to re-activate it, you are healed based on how long you’ve had the buff running.
6. Take Flight: This ultimate is so powerful; it will stun on impact and deal massive damage. If you line this up with your dots, it will destroy your enemies
7. Shuffle: This is our flex spot ability, it gives us major evasion and when you activate, it gives you snare immobilization for 1 second per piece of medium gear.
   1. Alternative Ability: Poison injection with a Master’s Bow (Infused).
8. Cauterize: This ability will give you a heal every 5 seconds for 15 seconds. I use it while I’m defensive on back bar in combination with Fragmented Shield for increased healing.
9. Fragmented Shield: This ability alongside Vigor is very strong; it will increase healing done for 6 seconds by 25%.
10. Resolving Vigor: This ability is very important in staying alive; use this whenever you need a heal in a pinch.
11. Volatile Amor: This is a major buff to your spell & physical resistances and returns damage from melee attackers while this ability is up.
12. Temporal Guard: This ultimate is used for cheeky defensive play and passively gives 8% damage reduction.

Vampire vs. Werewolf vs. Mortal

For this build you can totally play really whatever you want. But I personally recommend being “Mortal”. Now, Werewolf can be played if you plan to be in large groups where you can be healed and protected by other players, but you will have to sacrifice leap for the transformation ultimate.
