Dragonknight Tank/DPS 1H - Shield + Destruction Staff
This DK build is my favorite build in ESO. Because this build uses no armor but heavy, a lot of attributes need to be spent in magicka. The weapons I chose, One-Hand and Shield as it is the best weapon skill line to use to be a tank, and destruction staff (Preferably flame).
Let's take a look at ability bar 1. When using a melee weapon I find it important to always have a charge up ability to get you started off in combat. That is why I included Invasion in the ability bar. After using Invasion as a start up use dragon fire scales to repel enemy attacks. This is very handy in not only questing and grinding, but also PvP and PvE. Then use deep slash which deals physical damage and reduces the damage enemies deal. Then use draw essence and then use light attacks to restore some magicka. Then it is time for flame lash, to finish off your target.
Ability bar 2 is all about damage while also healing yourself a bit. Start off with burning talons to root in place and then it is time for AoE. Use engulfing flames first to increase your next flame attacks, then use elemental blockade and elemental ring. During the process if you have taken too much damage from ranged attackers cast coagulating blood.
I hope you like this build. :)
Fire Savant (Two-Handed & Inferno Staff DPS with Survivability ...And crafting)
This is my build for my main character. She's a Battlemage, who wields Two-Handed Swords and casts fire magick via fire spells and Flame staff.
My goal here was to make a character, who can withstand fair amounts of damage with high armor and spell resistance and also deal heavy amounts of damage with Fire spells. She wears 3 light armor pieces and 4 heavy armor pieces.
And also crafting skills, because I wanted to have some crafting with my first character... and also because I love the crafting in this game (I might be a little Craft-a-holic).
I'm not 100% sure yet if this is the best I can get with this build, and I need more experience with the game. If you are interested with the build, and can provide feedback with different skill variations, then by all means leave a comment to help this build get even better.
Swordmaster
1st bar is defensive in nature, used to survive multiple attackers & to apply DOTs & debuffs to prepare for a damage rush, use brawler & fire scales frequently to build ultimate, gain damage shield & protect against ranged attacks.
When your ready to go on the offensive just use fossilize to attack your targets recourse regeneration, throw out obsidian shard to stun then swap to bar 2.
Bar 2 is a high pressure high damage bar, after swapping from bar 1 you should have a second or 2 left from the last stun, so in that time use Rally & Immovable brute to buff, remembering to weave in light attacks to keep up the damage.
At this point your target will most likely try to heal or CC you, with Immovable you've got 9 seconds to try & burn them down, unless they are smart then they should start to run low on recourses thx to Fossilize. Use your Standard of Might, then a Wrecking Blow followed by a Critical Rush & just spam Flame Lash to finish off any remaining health.
You could always swap out Flame Lash for Executioner & be even more effective at Finishing off someone on low health but then you'd be entirely dependent on stamina on your 2nd bar & you'd have less self healing making you more vulnerable.
I use 5 medium & 2 heavy for armour, so I get full benefit with stamina & attack speed from medium while still boosting melee damage by 2% (4% with Immovable) from the heavy armour.
I find this build devastating against full tank DKs as it eats away at their stamina & once that's gone, so is the DK. Its also a surprise attack monster as Wrecking blow from stealth does massive damage & when followed up by a critical rush either kills or puts your target in a position where 1 more attack will finish them.
Happy hunting.
bow and dual axes 2 peices heavy 5 peices medium lots of magicka enchants
use the bow to trap people at a distance and deal lots of aoe damage and use dual axes as up close for dps
Mikayla's Sword and Flame
Designed for solo questing, to allow for destruction from a distance and in close whilst retaining some survivability. Weapon 1: Destruction Staff; Weapon 2: Two Handed Sword.
my perfect combo against 1 or 2 enemies 2handed
some passives for damage/survivability
best used with 2handed axe critical rush for huge opening blow obsidian shard just for knockdown and eventually for caster further away brawler for shield for survivabilty in large groups executioner as a finisher. corrosive armor with battle roar pure as selfheal or small buff against bosses.
Dark Phenix: DK Magic Based Dark Elf: Offers high single target and AOE DPS, thas also very very hard to kill.
Bar 1 (Destro Staff) Singe target DPS: This setup is nigh unstopable in a 1v1 RANGED fight. So long as you keep Scales and Entropy up at all times.
Only Sorc's, the ones that all they do is Shield Stack and Curse + Magica Det +Streak you will be able beat you at range. Thats what Crush and Fossilize are for. Cruch it when its charging Magic Det and Fossilize while his Shields are low to throw him off his rotation. If he lives past a few rotations he'll get wise to your game plan if/When it does swap to bar 2.
Bar 2 (Resto Staff) Offers Good AOE DPS with a lot of health regen. At first glance you might wonder "WTF is Regen doing for me here?". Its simple, Coag Dragon Blood + Elder Dragon + Burning Heart + Resto Master + Champ Points And Rapid Regen gives my VR14 (has +44% healing taken and 45% Health regen on bar 2) 2k Life PER SECOND not including the 33% of my missing health when Dragons blood is cast. Combine that with Draw Essence and Buring Talons (so they cant get away) and you can regen very very fast. While dealing decent DPS and Draining Stamina away every time they try to break free. If they do manage to get away from you OR if for some reason your about to die, F Leap is right there giving you 6 seconds to cast Coag D Blood and Rapid Regen. You could be at 1 HP an do the F Leap + Coag D Blood + Rapid Regen and be at full HP well before the 85% of your max HP Leap Shield is gone.

Okay so there is no “Edit” option.. the “4th skill” meant to be “Ward Ally”, the tool mixed the order of skills up a bit :/
hello
i added 2 builds… well one and a half.
the NIGHT MAGE and the UNDYING BLADE.
i hope some of you like to comment on theese, since its not the old-fashioned and booring DW/Bow-sneaky-creepy-assasin-rouge-style-archetype.
I like my opponents see me comming and my fights long and rewarding.
maybe we find a way to improve it even more, or you see synergies/buffs/things/changes in rotation which i have not.
cheers

Some comments or thoughts on my build for pvp/pve would be great. Thanks!
It’s now the middle of 2017. With the newest content of Morrowwind coming out very soon. Anything for the new builds or monster sets?
