ESO Builds: Solo Stamina Warden Build - Blackwood

Stamina Warden is one of the best solo Stamina classes in The Elder Scrolls Online. The class also does well as a Tank, Healer, or a PvP character. In this guide, Lucky Ghost shows you how to build a powerful Stamina Warden for soloing in the game. 

Overview

Attributes: 64 Stamina

Race: Khajiit/Dark Elf/Orc/Wood Elf/Redguard

Khajiit is one of the most potent options for newer players, and as a Khajiit, you can deal a decent amount of damage.

Mundus Stone

Lover (Solo)

Theif (group)

Consumables

Food: Lava Foot Soup and Saltrice

It will help you sustain and add a ton of Max Stamina.

Potions: Essence of Weapon Power

The Essence of Weapon Power potion gives Major Brutality, which increases your weapon damage by 20%. It also gives you Major Savagery that increases your Crit chance. The potion also gives you Stamina back and increases your Stamina recovery.

Food and Potions can be helpful for every player, so be sure to check out the most professional ESO gold store if you need some gold for those items.

Gear Setup (Final)

Head: Slimecraw's Mask

Type: Medium

Trait: Divines

Enchantment: Stamina

You will want to use Slimecraw's Mask in many builds for this patch to make up for the crit you lost when ZOS nerfed all the crit sets. This armor will help you get up to the crit level you want to reach.

You will want to use the one-piece Slimecraw because you will also need to use the Ring of the Pale Order whenever you are soloing.

Shoulders: Tzogvin's Arm Cops

Type: Medium

Trait: Divines

Enchantment: Stamina

When you are in a group, you can put Grundwulf on your shoulds because it's another set with a one-piece Crit bonus, and it's powerful for both Mag or Stam characters to run one-piece Slimecraw + one-piece Grunwulf.

Chest: Relequen or Briarheart

Type: Medium

Trait: Divines

Enchantment: Stamina

Waist: Relequen or Briarheart

Type: Medium

Legs: Relequen or Briarheart

Type: Medium

Trait: Divines

Enchantment: Stamina

Feet: Relequen or Briarheart

Type: Medium

Trait: Divines

Enchantment: Stamina

For Chest, Waist, Hands, Legs, and Feet, you have two options: Briarheart and Relequen. If you only want to wear an overland set, you can choose Briarheart, a powerful set that gives you crit chance and a ton of weapon damage.

If you want to use the best-in-slot for solo and group play, you can use Relequen, which adds critical and makes your attacks stack to the enemies, dealing a ton of DoT damage to them. The more of these stacks you get on them, the more damage you will do. Therefore, your light attack weaving will be very important on this build. Make sure you get into the habit of light-attacking between your abilities if you haven't done so yet.

Necklace: Tzogvin

Type: Jewelry

Trait: Bloodthirsty

Enchantment: Weapon Damage

Ring 1: Tzogvin's Ring

Type: Jewelry

Trait: Bloodthirsty

Enchantment: Weapon Damage

Ring 2: Ring of the Pale Order

Type: Jewelry

Trait: Bloodthirsty

Enchantment: Weapon Damage

Weapon 1: Tzogvin's Maul

Type: Maul

Trait: Precise

Enchantment: Stamina Absorb

Tzogvin's Maul will be the ideal weapon for this build. Tzogvin is a fantastic set that gives you more critical chances and a ton of Penetration. You will also get Minor Force using this set, which means it will free up one of the bar slots. That extra slot can be very helpful, especially when you are soloing, because you will need a slot for your heal, damage mitigation, or some sustain skills.

The two-handed Maul will be the best for solo. If you don't have the Maul, the two-handed greatsword will also work well. But you will find you underpen in group or solo content as a Stamina character, so the Maul will do a lot to help you get close to those pen goals.

Every mob has resistances, and you have to penetrate them if you want to do 100% damage to them. The bigger the gap between their resistances and your Penetration, the more of your damage is reduced. That is why you need to use gear, Mondus stones, and skills that grant you Penetration, and those are some of the reasons why this character hits so hard.

Type: Bow

Trait: Infused

Enchantment: Weapon Damage

Skill Setup

Front Bar: Subterranean Assault, Brawler, Executioner, Growing Swarm, Bird of Prey, Wild Guardian

Subterranean Assault is one of the skills that were recently modified. You will want to cast this skill every six skills or so. Make sure you don't cast this skill early because you will cancel that second detonation. Also, make sure you cast it again as soon as it detonates a second time.

Subterranean Assault will deal more of your damage than any other skill, so it is very important to use it actively.

Brawler not only does a great deal of damage but also grants you a Shield, and the more enemies you are hitting, the larger the Shield will become.

Executioner deals up to 400% more damage to enemies with less than 50% Health.

Growing Swarm puts Bleed DoT damage on the enemies and rips through their flesh, causing them to take 5% increased damage. Additionally, enemies near the carrier take almost 2kK Bleed Damage every two seconds for the duration, so it is also an AoE-DoT.

Bird of Prey gives you 5% increased damage. Although it is not a skill that you actively use in combat, you will activate it when you are between combats because it improves your movement speed.

Wild Guardian puts an insane amount of damage out. The way the skill works is that whenever your old bar is charged, you can recast him, causing him to do an AoE swipe. In addition, if you activate that swipe when the enemy is below 25% Health, the skill will cause double damage. Thus, this ultimate skill is also an Execute skill.

Back Bar: Endless Hail, Razor Caltrops, Resolving Vigor, Bull Netch, Consuming Trap, Wild Guardian

Endless Hail places down a large AoE of arrows, and when paired with the Maelstrom bow, it does even better damage. Every tick of this skill does more damage than the tick before. Therefore, to not interrupt those final ticks, make sure the latter completely expires before you cast it again.

Razor Caltrops places Major Breach on the enemy. In every solo build, you should have a source of Major Breach. In group content, you don't have to run your own source of Major Breach, and you could replace it with any other AoE-DoT. However, you will want to keep the skill here in Blackwood because Razor Caltrops is being buffed to do more damage.

Resolving Vigor is one of the strongest HoTs in the game. It only lasts four seconds, though. Thus, you will only want to use it when you are in a pinch.

Bull Netch is also a skill from the Animal Companion Skill line. It restores 5K Stamina over 25 seconds, and it grants you Major Brutality, increasing your Weapon Damage by 20%. With this skill, you can forgo the Essence of Weapon Power potion and go with the Essence of Weapon Critical potion instead.

Bull Netch also removes one negative effect from you every five seconds. Most importantly, this skill costs nothing to cast.

Consuming Trap does a solid DoT, and every time an affected enemy dies, you will get all three of your resources back, including a ton of Stamina.

Wild Guardian must be slotted on both the front and back bar so that the grizzly doesn't vanish.

·   Prebuff by casting the Bull Netch

·   Apply Dots Endless Hail > Razor Caltrops > Growing Swarm

 -Barswap-

Subterranean Assault > Brawler x5 (repeat unless reapplying back-bar DoTs/buffs)

·    Spammable is Brawler until enemy HP is at 32%

·    Spammable is Executioner at 32% and below UNLESS you have multiple enemies around, then stick with Brawler

·    Keep Bull Netch active to help sustain

·    If you have sustain issues, use and apply Consuming Trap on mobs that are going to die to get Stamina, Health, and Magicka back!

·    Until you unlock caltrops, use Winter's Revenge
