ESO Stamina Arcanist PvP Playstyle
The PvP is different from the PvE. Your purpose is to buff and heal while constantly pressuring your opponents and executing burst combos. If you want to survive in ESO PvP, you must keep your buffs and always heal over time. As a result, this ESO Stamina Arcanist PvP build provides tools and skills with the gear to help you achieve it all in PvP.
Also be sure to use the environment to your advantage. Never stay in an open field; exposing yourself to damage makes you easy to target and kill. Hide behind objects to lower the pressure. If they can’t see you, they can’t hit you!
The class has a strong survivability skill, Spiteward of the Lucid Mind. Use Spiteward in combination with Resolving Vigor for healing along with your defensive ultimate, Sanctum of the Abyssal Sea as a “panic button.” The skill will quickly burn through your magic if you spam it, however, leaving you vulnerable.
Try to use both resource pools (stamina and magicka) to sustain. If you run out of resources, do a heavy attack – if done on an off-balance target, it’ll refill twice as many resources. As an Arcanist, you’ll need to generate and consume Cruxes to enhance your stats constantly, so keep close attention to it. Flail is your Crux Generator and Spiteward consumes your crux, healing you in the process.

Skills Setup 1 Standard – ESO Stamina Arcanist PvP Build
Skill Set 1 Front Bar
Rune of the Colorless Pool (Morph of Rune of Eldritch Horror | Skill Line : Soldier of Apocrypha) – One of the best ranged single target stuns in the game. It’s your crowd control ability before you burst someone down and you can immobilize them with Flail afterwards for huge lock down control.
Cephaliarch’s Flail (Morph of Abyssal Impact | Skill Line : Herald of the Tome) – This is your mains spammable damage ability. It has a .3 second channel, hits hard and heals. This also bulids Crux and we do not use the “beam” ability Fatecarver. Reason being, it’s too easy to counter, and this is simple medium range and aggressive style.
Recuperative Treatise (Morph of Tome Bearer’s Inspiration | Skill Line : Herald of the Tome) – Sustain plus weapon and spell damage buff.
Elusive Mist (Morph of Mist Form | Skill Line : Vampire) – This is your mobility skill that also gives extra weapon and spell damage coming out of mist form. Use it to get away, or chase down targets.
Rending Slashes (Morph of Twin Slashes | Skill Line : Dual Wield) – This is your main damage DoT on the front bar. With Master Weapons, you will hit extremely hard on a single target and proc hemorrhage status effect which is amplified by 15% via Arcanist passive. Beyond this, the Arcanist lacks in DoTs so we need single target pressure via this skill. If you prefer to use a beam build, swap in Pragmatic Fatecarver in this position. Another good option is Whirling Blades.
The Tide King’s Gaze (Morph of The Unblinking Eye | Skill Line : Herald of the Tome) – This ultimate tracks targets and does a massive amount of damage in a five meter radius. The trick to using it is loading up a target with DoT pressure and then stunning with colorless pool then casting. That way they are unlikely to escape and take huge damage.
Back Bar
Cruxweaver Armor (Morph of Fatewoven Armor | Skill Line : Soldier of Apocrypha) – Major Resolve armor buff that last 30 seconds. This also can build crux and provides Minor Breach to enemies that hit you.
Runeguard of Freedom (Morph of Runic Defense | Skill Line : Soldier of Apocrypha) – This acts as a panic heal falling below 50% health, granting armor and crowd control immunity. This is literally the most powerful defensive skill in the game currently and must be maintained every 20 seconds.
Elemental Susceptibility (Morph of Weakness to Elements | Skill Line : Destruction Staff) – This acts as a ranged debuff to armor, and with Vateshran Destro, applies three status effects. Flex this ability out for mobility skill like Race Against Time, Vampire Elusive Mist or the Arcanist Apocryphal Gate skill.
Spiteward of the Lucid Mind (Morph of Runespite Ward | Skill Line : Soldier of Apocrypha) – Summons a shield that absorbs damage for 6 seconds, scaling off your Max Health. It consumes Crux to heal you.
Resolving Vigor (Morph of Vigor | Skill Line : Assault) – A strong heal overtime that only targets you. Evolving Runemend also works, but is high cost and targets other players which is unreliable.
Sanctum of the Abyssal Sea (Morph of Gibbering Shield | Skill Line : Soldier of Apocrypha) – A decent back bar survivability ultimate that provides a huge damage shield. This is helpful since it doesn’t require a weapon time and acts as a strong selfish ult. Use Resonating Glyphic for group play or the other morph of Sanctum.
Scribing Skills & Grimoires – ESO Stamina Arcanist PvP Build
Traveling Knife and Soul Burst are the two best Grimoires (skills) for a Stamina Arcanist PvP build. Traveling Knife gives you a ranged bleed attack that acts like Rending Slashes but doesn’t require Master Dual Wield to be effective. Moreover, Traveling Knife can be given a stun in the focus script for classes lacking a ranged stun. Soul Burst is a helpful crowd control and buff skill. You can immobilize, pull, or snare targets and get your favorite minor buffs. Below are the suggested combination of Grimoires, focus, signature, and affix scripts:
- Traveling Knife (dual wield) – Bleed or Stun (focus script), Lingering Torment or Assassin’s Misery (signature script), Berserk or Vulnerability (Affix Script)
- Soul Burst (soul magic) – Immobilize or Pull (focus script), Class Mastery or Hunter’s Snare (signature script), Courage or Expedition (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. The scribing feature requires the purchase of the Gold Road Chapter (sponsored link). To learn more about scribing, check out our full guide here.
