The ESO Stamina Templar PvP Build build is for players that are looking to play battlegrounds or Cyrodiil content with a well-rounded class. The ESO Stamina Templar PVP build offers some hard-hitting burst, high mobility and great survivability. What makes the Stamplar PvP build unique is the healing and burst damage it has.  This class with base game skills and easy-to-access gear options can be very effective right from the start of the game.  The downside is, with Update 35 in ESO, Biting Jabs skill was nerfed very hard. But, you can adapt the build for more of a damage over time Stamplar PvP build and feel just as dominant.  Thus, this build will reflect ESO’s direction with the class. High survivability and burst damage without the need for Jabs.

Last Updated March 16th, 2023 for Update 37, Scribes of Fate.  With the nerf of Biting Jabs in 2022 Update 35, I’ve switched the build focus to a single target killer.  The stamplar now excels at single target pressure and it has a ranged execute.   Therefore, we will be using only 1 five piece item set and using arena weapons for overall damage.

The Stamina Templar is now considered a dominant class in ESO PvP again.  Update 37 will see a rework of Wrecking Blow giving you major berserk for a short period.  This frees up many flexible build options that can perform well in PvP.  The reason is, Templars remain very survivable, and converting to stamina attributes and weapon choices gives you much greater flexibility in your main spammable and playstyle. Moreover, you can solve the weak class speed with Vampire Elusive Mist and resource sustain problems with a two-piece monster helm.

The Stamplar also has amazing healing via Honor the Dead and Living Dark with the strongest execute in the game.  You use magicka pool for healing and range damage while stamina for DoTs and burst.  Speaking of burst, you have one of the strongest bursting tools in the game with Power of the Light.  Soak up damage like a sponge and boom, execute and dead.

Why the Stamplar isn’t higher is other classes have more damage, survivability, or better utlimates.  Crescent Sweep is great for Templar, but outside of that the class ultimate remains a hindrance to success.  I enjoy this class most in a 1vX keep fight scenario and think it shines in dueling

Video Guide

Skills

Front Bar: Dual Wield

Front Bar Weapon Options: They are all good choices depending on your playstyle and needs. Experiment with what works best.

• Two-handed has the best passives for sustain and burst.
• Dual Wield has the best passives for pure damage and big AoE damage.
• Bow has great burst damage with the Toxic Barrage ultimate at range but needs 2-3 abilities for damage to make it work.

Rending Slashes (Morph of Twin Slashes | Skill line: Dual Wield) - Used for damage over time and proc our Master's Weapons. Flex skill here would be Biting Jabs though it hits very weak. If you prefer two-handed weapon build, swap this out for Dizzying Swing or Wrecking Blow.

Binding Javelin (Morph of Piercing Javelin | Skill line: Aedric Spear) - A knockback and stun that cannot be blocked used to prime target for a kill.

Power Of The Light (Morph of Backlash | Skill line: Dawns Wrath) - Our bursting tool used before our combo of stun/crescent and pop to do huge damage.

Radiant Glory (Morph of Radiant Destruction | Skill line: Dawns Wrath) - Our execute that heals based on damage done.

Living Dark (Morph of Eclipse | Skill line: Dawns Wrath) - a super powerful survivability tool that scales off of max health making us very durable.

Crescent Sweep (Morph of Radial Sweep | Skill line: Aedric Spear) - A very low cost hard hitting ultimate that almost acts as another damage tool.

Back Bar: Frost Staff

Back Bar Weapon Options: They are all good choices depending on your playstyle and needs. Experiment with what works best.

• Sword and Shield - great choice when blocking The benefit of a sword and shield is using stamina for block mitigation when taking tons of pressure. Switch to sword and shield if you like a slower pace gameplay or if you struggle with survivability.
• Two-handed great - for buffs and healing. The Rally skill has the best passives for sustain and burst.
• Restoration staff - the best buffs and healing. The strength of Resto is fully charged heavy attacks for major mending and magicka sustain.
• Frost Staff - can either use magicka or stamina for blocking and gives as much damage reduction as Sword and Shield and you can use the spell damage enchant and have some range.

 

Restoring Focus (Morph of Rune Focus | Skill line: Restoring Light) - this is your source of major resolve, healing, and resource sustain. Keep this up and move back into the rune if you need healing.

Degeneration (Morph of Entropy | Skill line: Mages Guild) - We drop cleanse on back bar since we have Mara's Balm and don't use Jabs so we need Major sorcerery and this is how we get it.

Elemental Susceptibility (Morph of Weakness to Elements | Skill line: Destruction Staff) - This is used in conjunction with our Vateshran Frost staff for massive daamge single target and armor reduction.

Honor The Dead (Morph of Rushed Ceremony | Skill line: Restoring Light) - single target burst heal.

Resolving Vigor (Morph of Vigor | Skill line: Assault) - stamina based heal over time.

Temporal Guard (Morph of Undo | Skill line: Psijic Order) - Back bar damage mitigation setup.

Werewolf Bar (when transformed)

If you choose to play this as a Werewolf, here's what you need to know. In this build Werewolf pairs greatly with a new mythic, the Oakensoul Ring, because as the werewolf, you have only one bar regardless. If you are playing as Werewolf, use these skills and ultimate:

Feral Pounce (Morph of Pounce | Skill line: Werewolf) - Great for closing distance and double cast for execute.

Hircines Bounty (Skill line: Werewolf) - Incredible heal that gives us major brutality

Deafening Roar (Morph of Roar | Skill line: Werewolf) - AoE stuff that sets off balance and gives major breach and minor maim.

Howl Of Agony (Morph of Piercing Howl | Skill line: Werewolf) - Strong conal damage in front hits harder.

Claws Of Life (Morph of Infectious Claw | Skill line: Werewolf) - Incredible debuff and damage over time that heals very well.

Pack Leader (Morph of Werewolf Transformation | Skill line: Werewolf) - The ultimate gives you a boost to weapon damage/spell damage via minor courage and you take 10% less damage.

Rotation

Your goal is to time as much damage in a short window as possible.  You can do this by working on three or more damage abilities around a 1-3 second window.
