The guide gives skills, champion points, and gear for an ESO One Bar PvP Stamina Dragonknight Build!
This build has been updated for the Update 40 patch of the Elder Scrolls Online.
Why Should You Play Build Name?
This is the ESO One Bar PvP Stamina Dragonknight Build and has everything you need to be successful in PvP. A burst ultimate, damage over time effects that melt enemies, and crazy survivability. Pick this build-up if you want something that plays well offensive, defensive, group, or solo. This build plays the hybrid style, blending both magicka and stamina skills and weapon choices to give it the most flexibility in the game. However, if you do, it’ll be the biggest AoE nuke possible in the entire ESO. We also included flexible gear options for those with or without Oakensoul Ring mythic.
Below is a general PvP Guide that can help anyone understand and develop their PvP knowledge and skill. This video is applicable for every build and should be viewed if you want general ESO PvP knowledge that applies to all aspects, Battlegrounds, Cyrodiil, and Imperial City.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|

Skills
Skill Set 1 Front Bar
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) – Main spammable that can be buffed three times via Ardent Flames abilities.
Resolving Vigor (Morph of Vigor | Skill Line : Assault) – Heal over time, use this in combinaton with your burst heal.
Coagulating Blood (Morph of Dragon Blood | Skill Line : Draconic Power) – This is your burst heal that should be used a lower HP sub 50%.
Noxious Breath (Morph of Fiery Breath | Skill Line : Ardent Flame) – Breathe a poisonous flame onto enemies dealing poison damage and inflicting them with major fracture
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.
