Introduction

Welcome to DottzGaming.com’s Solo Stamina Sorcerer Build PvE, Rage, for the Elder Scrolls Online! This build is intended for playing solo PvE content, such as questing, public dungeons, Maelstrom Arena, etc.! This build plays into the “berserker” theme, turning the damage you take into increased damage for yourself, allowing you to punish enemies and increase your own healing! My goal with this build was to create a stamina sorcerer build that could play solo effectively, but had strong thematic ties to a berserker playstyle!

Setup

Gear

Attributes

All points into Stamina.

Skills

Main Bar – 2h: Wrecking Blow, Brawler, Bound Armaments, Reverse Slice, Resolving Vigor, Flawless Dawnbreaker

Back Bar – Dual Wield: Razor Caltrops, Deadly Cloak, Dark Deal, Hurricane, Critical Surge, Greater Storm Atronach

NOTE: The Gold Road chapter added the new Scribing system, which allows you to customize 11 new skills to fit your own play style. If you would like to work one of those skills into this build, feel free to add them in as you see fit.

Vampire vs. Werewolf vs. Mortal

You are playing a mortal for this build. Neither Vampire or Werewolf give this build anything it needs.

Resource Management & Rotation

• Maintain Hurricane, Critical Surge, Bound Armaments, and Caltrops to maximize your damage and tankiness.
• Use Deadly Cloak when you want to reduce the amount of AoE damage you take or if you want a strong AoE DoT!
• Use Brawler on large packs of enemies to grant yourself a powerful shield, use Wrecking Blow to take down singular enemies and then use Reverse Slice to give yourself an AoE execute!
• Reactivate your bound armaments when it reaches max stacks to deal a big burst of damage!
• If you need a big defensive heal in a pinch, use Resolving Vigor, swap to your back bar and hit Dark Deal. Dark Deal can also be used to help you sustain your stamina pool by converting your magicka into stam (and hp)!
