ESO Solo Warden Stamina Build for PvE

The ESO Solo Warden Stamina Build for PvE is for players that are looking to complete solo content with flexible build options.

This build has been updated for the Update 40 patch of the Elder Scrolls Online.

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

The ESO Solo Warden Stamina Build for PvE is for players who want to complete solo content with a high damage class and good sustain. This build has very high AoE damage abilities and great sustain. Stamina Wardens are currently one of the hardest-hitting stamina classes in the game.

In ESO, the Stamina Warden is perfect for everyone who is looking for a simple-rotation survival class with a complete set of tools for solo PvE gameplay. So if the frost druid with animal companions and following “pros” is what you are looking for, this build is for you!

Pros	Cons
Good survivability	Many DoTs to maintain
Simple rotation	Plays melee
Can do off healing

ESO Solo Warden Stamina Build for PvE Playstyle

Use the following rotation as the starter point. After, apply your buffs and cast the DoT skills on cooldown for the best, highest DPS. In total, the Damage over Time skills (DoTs) do more damage than your main spammable. Thus, they need to be cast less often and are easier to maintain, for example, The Degeneration from Mages Guild or the Barb Trap from Fighters Guild. Maintain DoTs and use your spammable skill as filler until you need to reapply the DoTS.

At certain percentages, replace your spammable with your in-class or weapon execute if you have one in this build. Executes are the skills that deal more damage the lower the health of the opponent becomes. Ideally, these are meant to replace your main spammable skill at anywhere between 35% (Radiant Oppression) all the way to 20% (Mages’ Fury). 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.

Use the healing skill when your health drops below 50% or the shield skill when you anticipate damage. Also, always use the suggested food and potions as they significantly increase your damage, survivability, and resource sustain.

If you run out of resources, do a heavy attack and return to your rotation. Remember that a heavy attack on off-balance enemies will return double the resources. Additionally, if you are a beginner or struggle with sustain, you can flex in the Consuming Trap skill instead of a DoT skill. The Consuming Trap gives you a flood of both resources when a target dies.
