ESO Stamina Sorcerer PvP Build

The guide gives gear, skills, champion points, and consumables for an ESO Stamina Sorcerer PvP Build!

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

Why Should You Play ESO Stamina Sorcerer PvP Build?

The ESO Stamina Sorcerer PvP Build is unique amongst PvP builds in the Elder Scrolls Online due to its speed and killing potential.  This Stam Sorc build guide will give you a bow loadout and traditional dual wield for massive AoE. Realize with a Stam Sorc, your primary survivability comes from mobility, not sheer burst healing. Moreover, your killing potential comes from very quick and sudden strikes.  If you’re playing this class right, you will appear like a blur.  Charging in suddenly and violently and destroying 2-3 players and retreating to reset the fight as any good Stam Sorc would do.  This build will require constant situational awareness but the upside is the best mobility ESO PvP has to offer and some of the highest damage single target or area!

Below is a general PvP Guide that can help anyone understand and develop their PvP knowledge and skill. This video is applicable for every build and should be viewed if you want general ESO PvP knowledge that applies to all aspects, Battlegrounds, Cyrodiil, and Imperial City.
