Introduction

Welcome to DottzGaming.com’s Solo Stamina Arcanist Build PvE, Apocrypha’s Eye, for the Elder Scrolls Online! This build is intended for playing solo PvE content, such as questing, public dungeons, Maelstrom Arena, etc.! This build is focused around pumping out strong DoT pressure, taking advantage of the strong pressure skills the Arcanist has to offer! My goal with this Arcanist build was to create a stamina focused build that could play solo effectively, but had strong thematic ties and was easy to acquire.

Setup

Gear

Attributes

All points in stamina.

Skills

Front Bar – 2h: Pragmatic Fatecarver, Cephaliarch’s Flail, Camouflaged Hunter, Barbed Trap, Resolving Vigor, Flawless Dawnbreaker

Back Bar – Bow: Cruxweaver Armor, Endless Hail, Razor Caltrops, Fulminating Rune, Inspired Scholarship, The Tide King’s Gaze

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

For this build we are playing as a Mortal. This build doesn’t need anything that the vampire or werewolf skill lines give us.

Resource Management & Rotation

• Maintain all of the DoTs, buffs and debuffs on the build so you can fulfill the build’s maximum offensive/defensive potential.
• Your goal outside of maintaining your DoTs and buffs is to build crux and spend it with Pragmatic Fatecarver!
• If you know a boss/mob is going to deal a big amount of damage, hold block and use your Resolving Vigor to heal yourself.
