The Reaper Stamcrow

This build has been updated for the Update 41 patch, Scions of Ithelia for the Elder Scrolls Online.

Why Should You Play ESO Stamina Necromancer PvP Build?

The ESO Stamina Necromancer PvP Build is an absolute brute.  It has one of the hardest-hitting abilities, Blast Bones, and one of the most survivable skills in the game, Spirit Guardian.  However, figuring this out takes a bit of time and can be quite complex.  The strength of the class is its sheer survivability with little effort.  Stamcro is notoriously hard to kill due to several buffs and passives.  Stamina Necromancers also possess a unique burst potential and high damage over time pressure.  The downside is they are very slow on the battlefield unless completely spent for it.
