Welcome to our ESO Stamina Dragonknight PvE Build called the Butcher! The build relies heavily on damage over time effects and buffs. Consider this a hard-to-play, stamina-based, melee damage dealer because there are so many buffs and a complex rotation. However, I’ve listed flexible options to make it simpler and more survivable. High damage, you bet ESO Stamina Dragonknight PvE Build rocks!

Related: Top 5 Tips for Increasing Your DPS

Last updated March 13th, 2023, update 37 and the Scribes of Fate DLC: The ESO Stamina Dragonknight PvE Build is still often used in dungeons and trials by many veteran players. In the current meta, the Dragonknight class can provide high survivability on top of great damage. We adjusted relevant item sets, Pillar of Nirn and Perfect Whorl of the Depths, along with changing the most effective parse bar and gear. The build lists a few gear options – for beginner players without access to all sets and/or DLCs and two best in-slot trial options. The champion points suggested are also assuming you want the most damage, not survivability. Adjust where you see fit, and make sure to use sets and skills that work better for your group combination and harder end-game content.

Stamina Dragonknight Playstyle in PvE

Firesong Preview 05

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.

The Best PvE Stamina Dragonknight Build

In ESO, the PvE Stamina Dragonknight Build is perfect for everyone who is looking for a simple survival class with high damage. So if the fire-focused class playstyle and following “pros” is what you are looking for, this build is for you!

Pros

  • Great damage over time
  • Good survivability
  • High mobility

Cons

  • Difficult rotation
  • Lacks great sustain

Keep reading for all the details about Skills, Rotation, Gear, Passives and Champion points for the build! The Gear section will include options for Beginner, Intermediate, and Optimal set-ups, with plenty of flex options available for those still filling out their sticker books.

Skills

Front Bar (Dual Wield)

Front Bar Weapon choice options:

  • Dual Wield has best raw damage due to Twin Blade and Blunt along with AoE execute and great DoTs.
  • Two-handed has a great single target execute and sustain on kill but lacks the passives for PvE raw damage.
  • Bow has great range but in group play you need to be closer to boss to get buffs from tank/healer.

Flames Of Oblivion (Morph of Inferno | Skill line: Ardent Flame) - AoE and single target nuke that cost magicka.

Venomous Claw (Morph of Searing Strike | Skill line: Ardent Flame) - Deals poison damage to an enemy and increases the damage over time effect

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

Molten Whip (Morph of Lava Whip | Skill line: Ardent Flame) - Update 35 radically changed the main spammable options. Molten Whip is still great except you run out of magicka. Consider Silver Shard a hard hitting, spammable that increases your overall weapon damage for merely slotting and good AoE with range. Another option is Rapid Strikes from Dual Wield which is channel and optimal single target. Or you can go with your class skill like Molten Whip. This may seem odd at first, but it’s how the game is functioning optimally at end game.

Whirling Blades (Morph of Whirlwind | Skill line: Dual Wield) - AoE damage that acts as an execute, dealing more damage to enemies below 50% health.

Flawless Dawnbreaker (Morph of Dawnbreaker | Skill line: Fighters Guild) - The performance of Dawnbreaker is very good now that it grants a massive spell damage boost of 300 for 20 seconds. Not to mention added spell damage from Fighters guild, Slayer passive. This is a great ultimate to use that’s low cost.


Back Bar (Two Handed)

Back Bar Weapon choice options:

  • Two-handed is preferred due to the arena weapon and two back bar skills.
  • Dual Wield has a great back bar weapon via BRP weapons and deadly cloak but isn't preferred.
  • Bow has great range and is a great option for solo arenas like VMA or Vateshran.

Barbed Trap (Morph of Trap Beast | Skill line: Fighters Guild) - a trap that immobilizes target, procs minor force buff and does good single target damage.

Carve (Morph of Cleave | Skill line: Two Handed) - AoE hard hitting DoT.

Eruption (Morph of Ash Cloud | Skill line: Earthen Heart) - Hard hitting DoT that cost magicka per second and is great if you can sustain the magicka cost. Consider this your flex spot.

Stampede (Morph of Critical Charge | Skill line: Two Handed) - Gap closer with hard hitting dot that is amplified by back bar weapon.

Resolving Vigor (Morph of Vigor | Skill line: Assault) - Selfish heal that does great survivability. You can swap if you have great healing.

Standard Of Might (Morph of Dragonknight Standard | Skill line: Ardent Flame) - Deals flame damage to nearby enemies, applying major defile to them. You can stand in the area to reduce damage to you, and increase the damage given to enemies
