After testing for a week, I can begin to understand the changes coming in Elder Scrolls Online patch 1.6.  Please note, all of this information is subject to change as this is in test phase.  I will do my usual fully updated guides AFTER 1.6 goes live.  I do, however want to touch on a stamina and magicka build for each class.  So here’s what I’m seeing so far.

1.6 Builds Video

Keep in mind, these builds aren’t design for high end ultra PvE content.  Rather for PvP and or soloing. Also these will be completely overhauled and updated in much greater detail after 1.6 officially launches.  This is just some things that I’ve tested and have seem effective early on.

Dragonknight – The Butcher

Complete update ESO 2.0 build here.

 

Bar One – Two Handed Sword – Werewolf

Critical Rush | Forward Momentum | Green Dragon Blood | Brawler | Executioner | [Ultimate] Ferocious Leap

 

Bar Two – Master Bow

Unstoppable | Venom Arrow | Igneous Weapons | Lethal Arrow | Fossilize | [Ultimate] Corrosive Armor

 

Gear – Blood Spawn two piece, Vicious Ophidian, and Shadow Walker Jewelry.

 

The idea here is to charge in and use Brawler for defensive bubbles on a group.  Use leap at will for massive AoE damage.  Swap to bar two for range damage and 100% armor debuff with Corrosive Armor.

Templar – Bubble Trouble

Complete update ESO 2.0 build here

Bar One – Sword and Shield – Werewolf

Shield Assault | Repentance | Absorb Magic| Radiant Ward | Biting Jabs | [Ultimate] Empowering Sweep

 

Bar Two – Bow

Immovable Brute | Power of the Light | Breath of Life | Lethal Arrow | Radiant Glory | [Ultimate] Ice Comet

 

Gear – Nearly identical as The Butcher with the Engine Guardian set.  Use this with Repentance for health and stamina.

 

This build is a front line defender with DPS.  Use Crit Rush as an opener, keeping up Radiant Ward and Empowering Sweep.  Bar two is for single target pressure and range.
