ESO Solo Templar Stamina Build for PvE

This guide explains how to use the best Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) Solo Templar Stamina PvE Build, skills, gear, champion points, and more!

This build has been updated for the Updated 42, the Gold Road Chapter of the Elder Scrolls Online (ESO).

Why Should You Play ESO Solo Templar Stamina Build for PvE?

The ESO Solo Templar Stamina Build for PvE is for players looking to complete solo content with a solid, survivable stamina class. The Stamina Templar PVE build offers insane single-target and AOE damage. Templars generally have great tool kits for self-heals, and the rotation for Stamina Templars or Stamplars is the simplest in the game, so they’re a great option for newer players.

Templar Class Pros

• Beam to Win: Radiant Destruction is the strongest execute in the game. Opting for Glory to heal you will make you practically unkillable once the boss is under 40% health.
• High-Class Healing: Puncturing Sweeps main spammable pumps out a ton of healing.
• Simple Playstyle: the Templar’s kit and rotation are relatively easy to play.

Templar Class Cons

• Weak Class Ultimates: The Templar ults need some love; they don’t do as much damage as we’d like.
• Shorter AOE Damage: The Plar’s AOE, while strong when it hits, doesn’t extend as far as other classes.
• Tight Bar Space: The Plar needs an extra bar slot to fit in all of the great skills it has access to.

The Stamplar is a little more tricky to play in solo content without the heal from Puncturing Sweeps, but that difference is mitigated by running Ring of the Pale Order. It isn’t as healing, but it still feels tanky and powerful. If you decide to run Velothi instead of Pale Order Mythic, you’ll do more damage, but healing gets a lot sweatier.

ESO Solo Templar Stamina Build for PvE Playstyle

Power of the Light is one of the primary skills you need to manage for the Solo Templar Stamina build. If you cast this skill every 6 skill casts, you’ll apply it right as it’s blowing up. It’s incredibly important to not cast this skill on any other targets or cast it early, as it can only last on one target, and half of its damage comes from a second “pop” as the skill expires.

This skill is the most consistent cast in the build. The rest of the skills, other than your spammable, are Damage Over Time (DoTs). DoTs are great for extended fights because in one global cooldown, you do more damage over the duration of the DoT than you would have with a single spammable cast. That means you’re going to want to get your DoTs up on a high-health target, then reapply them only when they’re expiring and fill the gaps with more spammables.

Radiant Glory is the other skill you need to be mindful of. It’s an execute, meaning its damage scales the lower the target’s health gets. At a high level, execute skills become so strong that the lower the enemy’s health, the fewer DoTs you maintain because it does so much damage. Stamina Templars have to run Radiant Glory over the higher damage Radiant Oppression because it restores magicka as you channel, allowing you to sustain the skill through the execute on a stamina build. You want to start casting Radiant Glory instead of your spammable at 44% boss health in this build, dropping your DoTs off until you only spam this execute under 10%.

Survival

This build shouldn’t have any trouble staying high health with the use of the Ring of the Pale Order. For solo content, ROPO is great on builds without built-in healing, since it heals more the higher your damage goes. If you need to heal, you simply pump out more damage and watch your health go back up.

The downside is this mythic can’t be brought into group content. If you do want to do a dungeon or trial, replacing ROPO with the Velothi Ur-Mage’s Amulet will be a great switch for group content.

If you run out of resources, a heavy attack with either weapon in this build will restore stamina. You can also always run food with higher recovery on it, but you shouldn’t have very much trouble sustaining these skills.

Skills

Front Bar – Dual Wield

Front Bar Weapon choice options:

1. Dual Wield
2. Destruction Staff
3. Two Handed

Biting Jabs (Morph of Puncturing Strikes | Skill Line : Aedric Spear) – Our main spammable in AoE and single target. This lacks the healing of magicka sweeps, so be careful to peel back when needing healing.

Power of the Light (Morph of Backlash | Skill Line : Dawn’s Wrath) – Consider this a great single target damage ability that gives a good boost to ultimate generation. I use this morph now because its easier to sustain magicka.

Radiant Glory (Morph of Radiant Destruction | Skill Line : Dawn’s Wrath) – One of the best executes in the game, use in replacement of jabs at 38% on a boss.

Deadly Cloak (Morph of Blade Cloak | Skill Line : Dual Wield) – Great damage in AoE and AoE damage reduction.

Solar Barrage (Morph of Solar Flare | Skill Line : Dawn’s Wrath) – Powerful area damage and long duration.

Flawless Dawnbreaker (Morph of Dawnbreaker | Skill Line : Fighters Guild) – The performance of Dawnbreaker is very good now that it grants a massive spell damage boost of 300 for 20 seconds. Not to mention added spell damage from Fighters guild, Slayer passive. This is a great ultimate to use that’s low cost.

Back Bar – Bow

Back Bar Weapon choice options:

1. Bow
2. Two-handed
3. Dual Wield

Arrow Barrage (Morph of Volley | Skill Line : Bow) – Physical damage AoE, this morph increases duration and damage.

Venom Arrow (Morph of Poison Arrow | Skill Line : Bow) – Powerful damage over time with master’s bow buffs overall damage. Poison Injection is a better choice if you have Igneous Weapons from the DK tank.

Ritual of Retribution (Morph of Cleansing Ritual | Skill Line : Restoring Light) – Massive AoE damage and cost magicka.

Resolving Vigor (Morph of Vigor | Skill Line : Assault) – Healing over time, swap to vampire’s bane if you have good survival.

Restoring Focus (Morph of Rune Focus | Skill Line : Restoring Light) – Grants Major Resolve for 20 seconds and recover stamina and health.

Shooting Star (Morph of Meteor | Skill Line : Mages Guild) – One of the best pure damage ultimates in the game and try to use during stationary fights.

Scribing Skills & Grimoires

Unfortunately, there aren’t a whole lot of scribing skills that are very useful for the Templar this patch. Templars have a lot of very great skills, making their bar space extra valuable. If you really want to run one though, we have three options for you.

Ulfsild’s Contingency, Traveling Knife, and Torchbearer are the best Grimoires (skills) for a solo Stamina Templar PvE build. Contingency grants powerful area-based damage and buffs. Traveling Knife gives you a ranged bleed attack that does damage on the return. Torchbearer also gives you a good spammable when in melee range or if your class is single-target heavy. You can also use the Bow Vault skill as an immobilization or mobility tool. Below are the suggested combination of Grimoires, focus, signature, and affix scripts:

• Ulfsild’s Contingency (Mage Guild) – Flame Damage (focus script), Class Mastery (signature script), Vulnerability (Affix Script)
• Traveling Knife – Bleed (focus script), Lingering Torment (signature script), Berserk (Affix Script)
• Torchbearer (Fighters Guild) – Flame Damage (focus script), Class Mastery (signature script), Breach (Affix Script)

The Scribing System utilizes one of 11 new skills from the Gold Road Chapter called Grimoires.  With Grimoires, you can customize spells via Scripts.
