Introduction

Welcome to DottzGaming.com’s Solo Stamina Templar Build PvE, the Centurion, 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 AoE pressure while also tanky due to the front bar Sword and Shield! In addition, it is also focused on playing around the centurion theme, brawling it out with foes in close range with nothing but melee weapons! My goal with this StamPlar build was to create a stamina templar build that could play solo effectively, but had strong thematic ties, so you will be causing your enemies to kneel before you with this themed solo PvE build!

Setup

Gear

Gear Set Explanation

Ring of the Pale Order: This set is the strongest mythic for solo PvE. We get passively healed as we deal damage, and none of the drawbacks of this set apply to use since this is a solo PvE build!

Magma Incarnate: Since we are wearing a mythic, we have 1 open gear slot. The 1 piece of Magma Incarnate gives us a boost to our stamina and magicka recovery to help us sustain!

Hunding’s Rage: One of the most solid sets in the game, Hunding’s is incredibly strong for how easy it is to acquire. This crafted set is a staple for stamina damage dealers, and there is a reason you always see it recommended for newer players! The bonuses to stamina, critical, and the big boost to weapon damage on the 5 piece just make it a very well rounded set to use for PvE!

Spriggan’s Thorns: This set is the peanut butter to Hunding’s Rage’s jelly. This staple stamina damage dealer’s set gives us a huge boost to our physical penetration, allowing us to further reduce the resistance of the mobs we are fighting, and greatly increasing our damage. This set is even more valuable in a solo build since we dont have allies to help us reach desired penetration levels!

Attributes

All points in stamina.

Skills

Front Bar – 1h & Shield: Biting Jabs, Deep Slash, Power of the Light, Soul Splitting Trap, Resolving Vigor, Flawless Dawnbreaker

Back Bar – 2h: Ritual of Retribution, Carve, Razor Caltrops, Restoring Focus, Rally, Remembrance

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 Deep Slash, Soul Splitting Trap, Carve, Razor Caltrops, Restoring Focus & Rally at all times to maintain the build’s maximum offensive/defensive potential.
• Maintain Power of the Light on your primary target to maximize your burst. When you apply Power of the Light, use your Dawnbreaker of Smiting and go into Biting Jabs spam. With your high crit chance, your PoTL will most likely crit and you’ll deal a huge burst of damage to finish off your enemy!
• 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. You can also use Ritual of Retribution if you feel you’re taking a lot of DoT pressure and need to relieve it. If you need a really big heal in a pinch, refresh your Rally.
