ESO Stamina Necromancer PvP Build

This guide explains how to use the best Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) Stamina Necromancer PvP Build, skills, gear, champion points, and more!

This build has been updated for the Updated 42, the Gold Road Chapter of the Elder Scrolls Online (ESO).

Why Should You Play ESO Stamina Necromancer PvP Build?

The ESO Stamina Necromancer PvP Build has some of the highest burst potential with Blastbones. The Stamcro has to setup a Blastbones attack with a stun for optimal damage. Therefore, timing is critical. You can play with two-handed, dual-wield and still be effective. However, the Stamcro is slow and requires vampire or other skills to increase mobility with Major Expedition. Here’s what you can expect playing a Stamcro in eso PvP:

Necromancer Class Pros

• Good Area Damage – Using Blighted Blastbones and DOT damage to burn down targets.
• Decent Healer – Healing with the Necromancer is good with powerful buffs and burst heal.
• Block tanking – Great survivability with a block tank if built for it.

Necromancer Class Cons

• Slow – You must spend resources and skills to get a major expedition or die crawling away from a Zerg.
• Constant Buffing – Requires constant buff management to survive.
• Resource Sustain – Weaker resource sustain than other classes.

Camouflaged Hunter (Morph of Expert Hunter | Skill Line : Fighters Guild) – Flex skill used for more damage and counter gank. Use mortal coil for better sustain depending on your monster helm choice.

Executioner (Morph of Reverse Slash | Skill Line : Two Handed) – Single target execute used when at or near 25% health. You can dodge cancel this ability for a quicker animation by casting ability, than immediately dodge rolling. A bit advanced but if you do it right, you won’t even see the animation.

Dizzying Swing (Morph of Uppercut | Skill Line : Two Handed) – Main spammable that can set off balance and stun.

Dawnbreaker of Smiting (Morph of Dawnbreaker | Skill Line : Fighters Guild) – AoE conal damage and stun paired with blastbones for insane damage.

Resolving Vigor (Morph of Vigor | Skill Line : Assault) – Burst heal over time.

Resistant Flesh (Morph of Render Flesh | Skill Line : Living Death) – Our on-demand burst heal that paired with vigor absolutely carries your healing.

Elemental Susceptibility (Morph of Weakness to Elements | Skill Line : Destruction Staff) – Lowers the enemy’s resistance and makes them vulnerable to your attacks.

Ravenous Goliath (Morph of Bone Goliath Transformation | Skill Line : Bone Tyrant) – Very strong defensive ultimate when you’re taking way too much damage to sustain.

Scribing Skills & Grimoires – ESO Stamina Necromancer PvP Build

Traveling Knife and Soul Burst are the two best Grimoires (skills) for a Stamina Necromancer 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.
