ESO One Bar PvP Magicka Dragonknight Build Playstyle

In ESO, the One Bar Dragonknight Build is perfect for everyone, and literally. Great for beginners, veterans, and players of any age and experience. It’s easy to understand and doesn’t require bar swapping – the game element that simplifies the gameplay without hurting the potential damage per second. If a heavy attack builds playstyle and following “pros” is what you are looking for, this build is for you!

Skills

Skill Set 1 Front Bar

First staff is used for ranged damage.

Noxious Breath (Morph of Fiery Breath | Skill Line : Ardent Flame) – Area damage and armor reduction that cost stamina.

Shattering Rocks (Morph of Petrify | Skill Line : Earthen Heart) – Stun that cannot be avoided by dodging and block. Used to setup opponents before a kill shot. I take this morph for increased healing.

Chains of Devastation (Morph of Fiery Grip | Skill Line : Ardent Flame) – Use it to close the gap between you and your opponent; you’ll get Major Expedition and Major Berserk

Molten Whip (Morph of Lava Whip | Skill Line : Ardent Flame) – This is our main spammable attack that gets stronger the more stacks of seething fury. You’ll also want to set this up with a stun to kill an opponent who cannot block or react.

Coagulating Blood (Morph of Dragon Blood | Skill Line : Draconic Power) – Use this as you burst healing tool.

Corrosive Armor (Morph of Magma Armor | Skill Line : Earthen Heart) – Insane powerful ultimate that makes you very hard to kill for 12 seconds and 100% spell pen for direct damage attacks. This is what I use most of the time because it’s so good both defensively and offensively.
