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 brawling style stamina warden build that can take a hit! With a ton of healing augmentation and a boatload of health, we are able to get a lot of burst healing and healing over time from the skills we have in our kit. I decided to combine this with a master dual-wield style consistent pressure build, offering strong single-target DoT pressure on top of the potent AoE burst combo that the stamden has, allowing this build to pack a major punch!
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.

Skills
Main Bar – Dual Wield: Rending Slashes, Deep Fissure, Dazing Soul, Bird of Prey, Fetcher Infection, Dawnbreaker of Smiting
Back Bar – 1h and Shield: Leeching Vines, Resolving Vigor, Blue Betty, Ice Fortress, Polar Wind, Healing Thicket
Scribing: To properly setup Wield Soul for this, use a Stun focus script, the Anchorite’s Cruelty signature script, and the Savagery and Prophecy affix script. This will cause the skill to stun, deal oblivion damage over time and give you Major Savagery and Prophecy. Click here to see the tool-tip.
Vampire vs. Werewolf vs. Mortal
For this build you play as stage 3 vampire to gain access to the undeath passive. This passive is needed to achieve a level of tankiness that the build needs to brawl it out and stay in combat as long as possible.

Tips & Misc.
- Maintaining your Ice Fortress, Lotus Blossom, Bull Netch and Minor Resolve from Resolving Vigor is going to be key to maximizing your tankiness, damage and sustain.
- When you need to go defensive, use your Resolving Vigor and Leeching Vines! These skills give you a ton of healing over time, and will allow you to continually brawl with your opponents while these skills passively heal you. If you need a big heal, that’s when you want to use Polar Wind. Blocking on your SnB bar will help you mitigate damage while your heals go to work as well!
- Use Bird of Prey to give you a speed boost to re-position yourself, catch opponents, and break out of roots and slows!
- Your goal offensively is pretty simple: make sure you always have a Deep Fissure queued up and keep Fetcher Infection applied to your opponent. Otherwise, you’ll be simply spamming Rending Slashes. For a big burst of damage, hit your Dazing Soul right before Deep Fissure goes off so that you can stun your opponent and set them up for a Dawnbreaker combined with the Deep Fissure landing for a massive burst of damage!
