ESO Beginner Stamina Dragonknight Build

This guide gives skills, champion points, and gear for an ESO Beginner Stamina Dragonknight Build, intended for the new or returning player!

Stamina Dragonknight Beginner Build

This build has been updated for the Update 41 patch, Scions of Ithelia for the Elder Scrolls Online.

Why Should You Play the ESO Beginner Stamina Dragonknight Build?

Welcome to the ESO Beginner Stamina Dragonknight Build for The Elder Scrolls Online.  This build is intended for the new or returning player who wants a starting build with flexible options for skills and gear! The ESO Beginner Stamina Dragonknight Build relies heavily on damage over time effects and buffs and has good survivability and mobility.

ESO Beginner Stamina Dragonknight Build Playstyle

This skill setup is extremely important to start off ESO on the correct path. At this stage, I’m assuming you’re level three and have completed the tutorial with three skill points to spend. From here, you’ll want to slot one skill from each of your class skill lines, regardless if you use or like the skill. Why? Because you want to reach level 50 with most of your class skill lines leveled up or at least close to max. You only level the skill lines in your class if you have one or more skills equipped. That way you can acquire skill points and max out all the passives which make you stronger WITHOUT having to slot a skill.

ESO Beginner Stamina Dragonknight PvE Features and Mechanics

Below are some of the features found using the ESO Beginner Stamina Dragonknight PvE in the Elder Scrolls Online:

  • Class – Dragonknight
  • Weapon One – Dual Wield
  • Weapon Two – Two-hander
  • Armor Types: 1 Heavy, 1 Medium, 5 Light
  • Race: Dark Elf
  • Attributes: 64 Stamina
  • Mundus Stone: Thief

Priorities and Unlocks 

When starting the Elder Scrolls Online, it can be confusing what you should focus on first.  Use the below list as a guide on where you should focus on first with a new character:

  • Unlock Weapon Lines
  • Unlock Skill Lines
  • Unlock Builds
  • Consumables, Bag Space & XP Boost
  • Setup Armor
  • Unlock Guilds
  • Level 10

Unlock Weapon Lines

Your priority is to unlock two or more weapon skill lines when you initially unlock your character.  You can do this by obtaining the weapon type or choice like a destruction staff and a restoration staff or bow and two-handed. Simply equip the weapon, obtain a kill and some experience with that weapon outside of the nearest town, then the weapon skill line will be unlocked.

It’s important to note, you can level up your weapon skill lines without having the weapon equipped. This is done by having a skill on your bar when you earn experience.  Thus, you can level two weapon skill lines at the same time even at level 3.  This helps when you reach level 50 and have two weapon skill lines maxed out vs having to continually progress them.  More on this later, for now stamina builds unlock bow, two-handed, and dual wield.  Magicka users unlock Destruction Staff, Restoration Staff, and Dual wield.

Setup Armor

The next step in ESO, is to unlock armor. Similar to weapon skill lines, you want to unlock the skill tree and level it throughout your adventure.  To do this, simply save up about 500 gold and go to your nearest town and vendor. You will need 3 armor type equipped at a time to unlock the skill line. Thus, equip 3 medium, 3 heavy, then 3 light armor for all the skill lines.  This doesn’t seem important but is vital regardless of what you assume you will play at end game.

From this point, it’s advisable to equip 3 of your primary armor type.  Magicka users want 3 light, 2 medium and 2 heavy.  Stamina users want to equip 3 medium, 2 light, and 2 heavy. This will progress your armor skill lines somewhat evenly and will help reaching max level.

Unlock Guilds

The next series of skill lines come from guilds.  Mages guild, undaunted and Fighters guild. These will all be in your original main town with Undauned located in a tavern.  Simply do an introduction quest and unlock these straight away.  You can obtain an advanced one, Psijic order as well, but save that for later.

Setup Skill Bar

Now you need to prioritize obtain skills via skyshards, dungeon completion, main story quest completions and more.  You then want to setup your skill bar so you level two skill lines at once on your front bar.  This will result in one “dead” skill that is unusable but helps level the back bar.

Example Skill Bar Stamina

  • Flurry (morph to Bloodthirst) – Dual Wield
  • Uppercut (dead skill just leave to level) – Two-Handed
  • Class Skill Line 1 (first skill line skill any)
  • Class Skill Line 2 (second skill line skill any)
  • Class Skill Line 3 (third skill line skill any)
  • Ultimate: unlocked later, but choose a survivability one

Example Skill Bar Magicka

  • Force Shock (morph to Force Pulse) – Destruction Staff
  • Grand Healing (dead skill just leave to level) – Restoration Staff
  • Class Skill Line 1 (first skill line skill any)
  • Class Skill Line 2 (second skill line skill any)
  • Class Skill Line 3 (third skill line skill any)
  • Ultimate: unlocked later, but choose a survivability one

Progression

Now, your skills and armor will level up simultaneously with one dead skill. Obviously flex in and out the weapon types but the premise remains for a good leveling experience.  Put one skill from each of your skill lines on your bar, two weapon skills, and ultimate of choice.  Once you unlock your back bar at level 15, use that for healing and buffs.

Consumables, Bag Space & XP Boost

Make sure to use consumables like food, potions, and experience boosters.  Every town has a vendor with basic food.  You will earn purple crown store food which you should consume.  Depending on experience, you will likely need “recovery” food or a refreshing drink. This helps you continue to cast spells and prevent death. 

Next, save gold to expand your bag space. This will be helpful as you collect and deconstruct.  The bag space vendor will be the main story.

Level 10

At level 10, Elder Scrolls Online opens up drastically.  You should focus on the following:

  • Go to Cyrodiil, do intro quest, 2 skill points
  • Do an undaunted intro quest by completing dungeon
  • Complete daily dungeon quest via the que finder for massive XP
  • Continue to progress through main story

From here, the easiest way to level is by completing all the normal dungeons as you level up and the main story.  This gives you a lot of skill points and makes it much easier to level quickly.  Rely on the dungeon finder to find a group until you make friends.

Daily Priorities

Make sure to check out our daily priorities list. This helps to give you a series of helpful actions to complete each day beyond this guides scope.

Skills

Level 3 Starter – Brand New Character – Dual Wield

Work towards advancing and unlocking skills. It’s especially helpful to change out skills and at least get them to the “morphed” stage. You can always change these later for a very small fee so don’t worry if you make a mistake.

Molten Whip (Morph of Lava Whip | Skill Line : Ardent Flame) – Assuming you’re using Bloodthirst as a main spammable, this makes a great alternative main spammable and magicka dump. Simply slotting pumps up our damage and when we get 3x stacks from using other Ardent Flame abilities later on at end game, it’ll hit like a hammer. I use this skill a lot on my hybrid/stamina DK PvP Build.

Volatile Armor (Morph of Spiked Armor | Skill Line : Draconic Power) – This armor morph early on is taken just to do some AoE damage and level the skill line. Quickly move to take Burning Talons for massive AoE nuke.

Obsidian Shard (Morph of Stonefist | Skill Line : Earthen Heart) – The one downside to Dragonknight’s is early game healing. Take this morph to have some type of healing until you move further in the skill line.

Bloodthirst (Morph of Flurry | Skill Line : Dual Wield) – This is a main spammable that you shouldn’t sleep on. If you struggle with healing use this as a main spammable because it heals you so well. No, it’s not the most damage, but it’s better than being dead! Your goal is to work towards Whirlwind in the skill line for big AoE.

Uppercut (Skill Line : Two Handed) – This skill is simply slotted for quick leveling of the two handed skill line. I don’t really morph or use this right away. This will be a “dead” unusable skill without a two handed equipped, but trust me it’ll save you massive amount of time later and only at level 15 you’ll get a back bar then it becomes VERY useful. Use Bow if you plan on doing a ranged build or another weapon type of your choice.

Corrosive Armor (Morph of Magma Armor | Skill Line : Earthen Heart) – You won’t be able to get an ultimate until later but Magma Armor morphed into Corrosive Armor is great for beginners. It makes you nearly unkillable and you ignore armor with direct damage attacks. Truthfully all the skill line ultimate choices are amazing, but the added benefit for slotting is leveling up Earthen Heart quick. It has THE BEST passive skills in the game and should be priority.

Level 15 – Front Bar – Dual Wield

At this stage, you should have the ability to bar swap. This comes in very handy to have leveled two handed, because you can put high damage abilities on your secondary bar and also use two handed stampede as a gap closer and huge damage. I’ll list front bar skills, but in general put armor, healing, mobility, and consuming trap from world soul magic skill line on the back bar. You won’t be getting much XP since nearly all your kills should be on the front.

Burning Embers (Morph of Searing Strike | Skill Line : Ardent Flame) – This is a great DoT that heals for a good amount. Even though it cost magicka, it still hits hard and does every well for our survivability early in the game.

Coagulating Blood (Morph of Dragon Blood | Skill Line : Draconic Power) – This is the DK’s burst heal, mainly used for PvP but it can be a life saver. You may have to level a bit further to get it, but I strongly suggest working towards and keeping on your front bar initially for a “oh crap” heal.

Molten Armaments (Morph of Molten Weapons | Skill Line : Earthen Heart) – You’ll have a ton of magicka abilities so it’ll be hard to sustain. This is useful because it levels the skill line and makes heavy attacks hit super hard. So when in doubt, just rip off a heavy for big damage.

Whirling Blades (Morph of Whirlwind | Skill Line : Dual Wield) – Your kinda stuck on the DK with skills. You can put some AoE skills that cost magicka and Stampede on your back bar. That’ll free up more single target for the front using Bloodthirst. Or just keep one aoe on demand skill line Whirling Blades on the front which is what I prefer due to the healing from Embers and Blood. Worry about survival first, then strip off and add skills that do more damage once you get the hang of it. DK is brutal on healing early game.

Stampede (Morph of Critical Charge | Skill Line : Two Handed) – At this point, continue to level and morph skills even though it’s a dead skill on the bar. Stampede is a great back bar gap closer and AoE DoT. Cycle this to either another skill line, weapon, or work towards unlocking Cleave and morph it to Carve. This is another end game meta DPS ability and it’ll be useful to have on the back bar. If it’s too difficult swap to another skill but it’ll help out tremendously at end game when most of the line is maxed.

Corrosive Armor (Morph of Magma Armor | Skill Line : Earthen Heart) – Take this here until you get Battleroar passive in earthen heart. It’ll change your entire playthrought as a Dragonknight. Then rotate to Dragon Leap for PvP or Dragonknight Standard for PvP.

Level 50 – Front Bar – Dual Wield

At this stage, you should have the ability to bar swap. This comes in very handy to have leveled two handed, because you can put high damage abilities on your secondary bar and also use two handed stampede as a gap closer and huge damage. I’ll list front bar skills, but in general put armor, healing, mobility, and consuming trap from world soul magic skill line on the back bar. You won’t be getting much XP since nearly all your kills should be on the front.

Burning Embers (Morph of Searing Strike | Skill Line : Ardent Flame) – This is a great DoT that heals for a good amount. Even though it cost magicka, it still hits hard and does every well for our survivability early in the game.

Noxious Breath (Morph of Fiery Breath | Skill Line : Ardent Flame) – AoE damage with a built in armor debuff. Swap morphs to Engulfing if you run out of stamina frequently.

Flames of Oblivion (Morph of Inferno | Skill Line : Ardent Flame) – Huge AoE DoT pressure that can be pre-cast to get 3x stacks of whip ready for a nuke. Switch morphs if you need more healing.

Whirling Blades (Morph of Whirlwind | Skill Line : Dual Wield) – Your kinda stuck on the DK with skills. You can put some AoE skills that cost magicka and Stampede on your back bar. That’ll free up more single target for the front using Bloodthirst. Or just keep one aoe on demand skill line Whirling Blades on the front which is what I prefer due to the healing from Embers and Blood. Worry about survival first, then strip off and add skills that do more damage once you get the hang of it. DK is brutal on healing early game.

Bloodthirst (Morph of Flurry | Skill Line : Dual Wield) – This is your main spammable, that also passively heals your for 33% of the damage caused

Corrosive Armor (Morph of Magma Armor | Skill Line : Earthen Heart) – Take this here until you get Battleroar passive in earthen heart. It’ll change your entire playthrought as a Dragonknight. Then rotate to Dragon Leap for PvP or Dragonknight Standard for PvP.

Level 50 – Back Bar – Two Hander

At this stage, you should have the ability to bar swap. This comes in very handy to have leveled two handed, because you can put high damage abilities on your secondary bar and also use two handed stampede as a gap closer and huge damage. I’ll list front bar skills, but in general put armor, healing, mobility, and consuming trap from world soul magic skill line on the back bar. You won’t be getting much XP since nearly all your kills should be on the front.

Consuming Trap (Morph of Soul Trap | Skill Line : Soul Magic) – A single target dot that deals magic damage. When the enemy dies, your restore Health, Magicka, and Stamina. A fantastic skill for resource sustain.

Carve (Morph of Cleave | Skill Line : Two Handed) – big AoE damage and shield. Spam this when heal is low and your heals over time are carrying your survivability.

Cinder Storm (Morph of Ash Cloud | Skill Line : Earthen Heart) – This procs our Earthen Heart passives Mountain’s Blessing giving us back stamina for nearly zero magicka. Essentially you can cheese cast this and have infinite resources.

Resolving Vigor (Morph of Vigor | Skill Line : Assault) – Great self healing that doesn’t require a resto staff thus back bar Frost or Sword and Shield mitigation.

Stampede (Morph of Critical Charge | Skill Line : Two Handed) – At this point, continue to level and morph skills even though it’s a dead skill on the bar. Stampede is a great back bar gap closer and AoE DoT. Cycle this to either another skill line, weapon, or work towards unlocking Cleave and morph it to Carve. This is another end game meta DPS ability and it’ll be useful to have on the back bar. If it’s too difficult swap to another skill but it’ll help out tremendously at end game when most of the line is maxed.

Corrosive Armor (Morph of Magma Armor | Skill Line : Earthen Heart) – Take this here until you get Battleroar passive in earthen heart. It’ll change your entire playthrought as a Dragonknight. Then rotate to Dragon Leap for PvP or Dragonknight Standard for PvP.

ESO Beginner Stamina Dragonknight Build Level 50

The premise in ESO is base game overland is the easiest gear to obtained.  Because at any level, you can go to zone and farm it.  Crafting is second as it takes time to unlock traits and my require DLC.  Dungeons, on normal are third because it takes certain level requirements or DLC to access so that will be the priority of gear in general.  Your priority after obtaining the below gear sets is as follows:

  • Start doing undaunted pledges and obtain a base game damage monster helm.  My two favorite are Stormfist from Tempest Island for damage or Ice Heart from Direfrost Keep for survival.
  • Next target is to remove Vampire’s Kiss with a higher producing damage set. I suggest checking out the builds page for more suggestions.
  • Now start working on obtaining dungeons, trials ,and mythics for more damage sets.
Gear Sets

Hunding’s Rage: six trait craftable item set. Locations Bangkorai, Reaper’s March, The Rift

  • Why? The staple in PvE DPS for stamina beginners.

Spriggan’s Thorns: obtained in Bangkorai, Daggerfall Covenant faction or you can buy from guild traders.  Drops from delves, world bosses, public dungeons and dark anchors in that zone.

  • Why? One of the best overland damage sets.

Agilityobtained in Imperial City, dungeon finder or bought for very cheap on build traders.

  • Why? great base game two piece se that gives huge stat bonuses.
Gear Progression

ARENA WEAPON PROGRESSION

Perfected Merciless Charge: from Veteran Maelstrom Arena in Orsinium.  Do normal mode if you cannot complete Veteran, there’s not much of a difference in performance.

  • WHY? huge damage with Stampede on your back bar using a two handed.

MONSTER HELM PROGRESSION

  1. Zaan’s = consider the best overall monster helm for DPS
  2. Stormfist: = always works, easy to obtain and AoE DPS set.

  4. Selene = easy to obtain starter DPS monster helm and great for PvP

PROGRESSION 5pc SETS OPTIONS

  3. Medusa = great damage set with always on minor force but you’ll need weapon and jewelry
  4. Leviathan = great beginner dungeon set and base game
  5. Order’s Wrath = best craftable option but High Isles set

MYTHIC PROGRESSION

  1. Pale Order = best heals per second solo in the game
  2. Oakensoul= the best one bar build for DPS – 5 Leads are here
  3. Death Dealer’s Fete = high max stats and requires no effect but in combat

Race

The best race choices for the Beginner Stamina Dragonknight:

  1. Dark Elf: Best overall damage and max stats, but weaker resource sustain.
  2. Imperial: Great stamina race with good survivability and sustain.

Attributes

The best choice is 64 stamina, which increases damage, healing, and DoTs.

Mundus Stone

The Thief is the best Mundus Stone for Beginner Stamina Builds because it increases Weapon and Spell Critical Strike chance.

Consumables

Food

Crown Refreshing Drink

FREE OPTION: these come from daily reward logins and are great starting out because you can get at level 1, carries your sustain. I wouldn’t recommend buying these, but if you get for free use this or the Crown Fortifying Meal.

Dubious Camoran Throne

CHEAP: this is another level 1 drink you can get BUT you can also buy from traders or someone can give to you. I’d highly recommend saving up and getting some from the traders, Deshaan is typically the hub in ESO. Increase Max Magicka by 2856, Max Health by 3094, and Magicka Recovery by 315 for 2 hours. Ingredients Nightshade, White Meat, Beetle Scuttle, Insect Parts, Guts.

Chicken Breast

VENDOR: this is a level one option you can buy from the provisioning vendor and or you can learn recipe and make at low level. It gives a buff to health, but it’s better than nothing starting out.

Potions

Essence of Weapon Power

BEST: These potions can be bought from traders or you can get PvP ones via Cyrodiil Vendor. They are best because they giving you important buffs for which you don’t need to slot an ability or use level Fighters Guild or Mages Guild. Until you get them, just use stamina “trash” pots the simple blue potions that you find throughout the world. Grants major brutality with increases weapon damage by 20% for 47.6 seconds. Grants major savagery which grants you 2191 weapon critical rating for 47.6 seconds. Restore 7582 stamina immediately.
