Introduction
Welcome to DottzGaming.com’s Stamina Templar Build PvP, Swift Justice, for the game; Elder Scrolls Online! This build is intended for open world engagements such as: Cyrodiil, battlegrounds, 1vX, and Imperial city. This build can have fair success in dueling though that’s not it’s strong spot. The damage medium armor offers us makes it tons of fun to play in CP PvP while in no CP PvP I might recommend using heavy armor but the build will still work.

Attributes
All points into Stamina.
Skills
Main Bar – Dual Wield: Rending Slashes, Biting Jabs, Power of The Light, Resolving Vigor, Quick Cloak, Dawnbreaker of Smiting or Onslaught
Back Bar – Two Handed: Rally, Shuffle, Binding Javelin, Extended Ritual, Restoring Focus, Remembrance
Vampire vs. WW vs. Mortal
Vampire isn’t worth it. Not for the regen or the sneak speed.
Werewolf is okay to have but I seldom use it. Sometimes you can put it on your back bar for extra sustain but overall I think Remembrance is better.

Other Important Info
Buff Food
Dubious Camoran Throne: Maximum Health, Stamina and Stamina Recovery
Mundus
Warrior – Increased Weapon Damage
Race
- Orc: Sprint speed is awesome in general but with orc we get the same Weapon Damage as Dunmer as well as some other helpful passives to boot that will give you more stam and keep you alive.
- Nord: Good max stats with some nice resistances to keep us alive. The Ult Gen is also fairly nice.
- Imperial: Sustain and Max stats are really nice. I like using this race when I wear heavy armor but it performs well enough in Medium too.
DO NOT USE BOSMER
I know they are cute and everyone loves them but using them with this setup will give you a crazy amount of sustain and not enough damage. It is a detriment to use Wood Elf with this Build. If you really want to use Wood Elf with this build you’ll need to replace Battlefield Acrobat with Shacklebreaker and you’d still need the protective jewelry. (Jewelry Crafting is expensive)

Tri-Stat (Bugloss, Columbine and Mountain Flower)

Tips & Misc.
The following is basically a checklist of what you want to do when you play this build. It is important to note that in PvP we have no true rotation.
- Try and use Jabs once every 8 seconds to keep your major savagery buff up.
- Keep restoring focus up all the time and if you can you should definitely stand inside it as it grants extra resistances.
- Stun your opponent every 6-8 seconds.
- Keep Power of the Light up as much as you can, especially before trying to use dawnbreaker.
Some other misc. tips for the build:
- Rally is kind of a “Defensive Spammable” in that it grants some healing on use but it’s super ineffective to spam. If you feel the need to spam Rally make sure you already hit Vigor before you do.
- In nearly all engagements it helps to stay mobile, even if that means changing where you do LoS.
- While you may want to stay in your Ritual it’s ok to abandon it if needed. It’s important to not get overwhelmed.
- Use Binding Javelin to stun opponents and run up to them
- When Fighting DOT heavy opponents it’s good to make aggressive use of ritual purges.
