Introduction
Welcome to DottzGaming.com’s Stamina Warden Build PvP, Nature’s Wrath, for the Elder Scrolls Online! This build is intended for PvP of all kinds: battlegrounds, Cyrodiil, dueling, and Imperial City. This build can be played in both CP and no-CP pvp without any changes to the build!
This build is a high damage medium armor build that focuses on the Stamina Warden’s primary strength: big AoE burst. This build hits insanely high weapon damage numbers and has really solid sustain, but it is a bit on the squishy side, so you want to make sure you’re staying as mobile as possible! This is one of the burstiest builds I’ve ever made and it’s incredibly fun, and I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do!
Keep in mind that PvP builds are very personal. This is what worked for ME. If you don’t like something about it, change it to fit your playstyle.

Gear Choices
Clever Alchemist: This set is perfect for a back bar set on a burst build. You get an insane amount of weapon damage when you drink your potion on your back bar; combined with Fury you can hit really high weapon damage numbers and absolutely crush your opponents with your ultimate combo!
Hunding’s Rage: This set gives us some extra stamina, critical chance and a nice boost to our weapon damage. Combined with using an off-hand precise dagger and using Crit Potions, we have a really solid critical rating with this build, allowing our burst to hit that much harder!
Balorgh: Since this build is based around dealing maximum damage in one big offensive combo, Balorgh is the perfect set to play into this strategy! You get a massive amount of penetration and weapon damage whenever you use your ultimate, which plays perfectly into the build’s objective and weapon stat stack! The weapon damage also augments our heals, giving us strong defensive healing while this bonus is active!
Trainee: We have a single open slot on the build, which is the perfect slot for a Trainee ring, giving us an extra line of maximum health!
Torc of Tonal Constancy: This ring adds a ton of sustain to a stamina warden, who heavily utilizes both their magicka and stamina pools! This mythic item makes it so that as one resource pool gets low on resources, the other gets a massive boost to recovery. This handles a ton of our sustain, making it easier for us to stay in the fight longer!

Other Important Info

Potions/Poisons
- For max damage use these potions

- (Dragonthorn, Water Hyacinth, Columbine)
- Run this potion for magicka sustain if you feel you are having trouble.
- Essence of Health (Restore Magicka, Health and Stamina)
- (Bugloss, Columbine and Mountain Flower)
Passives
Class (all), Heavy Armor (all), Medium Armor (all), 1h and Shield (all), Dual Wield (all), Fighter’s Guild (all except Intimidating passive), Undaunted (all), Racial (all), Alchemy (Medicinal Use), Assault (all), Support (all except the first)
Tips & Misc.
- Maintaining your Ice Fortress, Bull Netch and Shuffle is going to be key to maximizing your tankiness, damage and sustain. Be sure to stay mobile on this build as well; you’re squishy so if you get locked down you can get bursted down quickly.
- When you need to go defensive, use your Leeching Vines, and then swap to your back bar and use Resolving Vigor. If you need a burst heal, you can also use Soothing Spores!
- Your primary combo is simple: drink potion back bar, bar swap, sub assault, Cutting Dive, medium weave, Dawnbreaker, Whirling Blades. A lot of opponents will struggle to live through that kind of burst damage, especially with the numbers this build can hit on weapon damage!
