ESO PVP Builds

Update 46 has launched on the live servers! New builds for subclassing need to be tested before I can update the site. This will take 2-3 weeks so that a decent build will be posted, and in case some early patch changes occur. Visit my Patreon to see the work in progress on the new builds!

The website has been updated with subclassing – and Whitestrake’s Mayhem is live! If you find any irregularities in the builds, please let us know.

Easy access to PvP builds

This website is designed to give you a good PvP build in two steps. You’ve already done one of those steps by entering the website! Find the class you want a build for in the panels below. If you like what you find here, do consider visiting the Support page as well!

Melee

Close range, tankier builds that excell in tight corners and both single target and area of effect burst.

Ranged

Ranged, mobile builds that excell in open field, situations that require a lot of kiting and single target damage.

Ganking

One-trick, glass cannon builds that instantly eliminate a single enemy.

Bombing

One-trick, glass cannon builds for cleaning up large numbers of enemy players in a moment’s notice.

Healer

Whether it’s for an unorganised battleground or a coordinated ballgroup, these healer builds will meet the requirements for both raw healing output and buff support.

Tank

The Cyrodiil Angler: an easy one-bar tank build for those times that you’re not feeling like PVP.

Beginner

PVP can be tough to get into, but with a build like this you can start out easy and avoid tedious set grinds while at it.

Werewolf

Similar to beginner setups, werewolf offers an easy to play build that is good for starting out but will not hold up in endgame PVP.

Accessibility

The builds are presented in a no-nonsense, direct approach for each class. This offers a direct overview of the sets, skills and Champion Points used without having to filter through walls of text. If there are important notes to keep in mind for a given build, they are mentioned below the build in the Important Notes dropdown. Got any more questions? Be sure to check out the FAQ page, and if this is not sufficient there is also a Discord server. 

Updates

The website recieved an update merging the stamina and magicka specs and abilities of every class. This is in response to the hybridization, subclassing and homogenization changes to combat made in ESO over the past years, which removed a lot of the pure class, stamina or magicka themed builds. Hybrid subclass builds are prevalent, and they are hard to pin to a magicka or stamina class page. So, since most builds are not class-specific they are organised per playstyle instead.

Legacy class builds

Pure class builds become increasingly irrelevant since subclassing was introduced in Update 46. That said, some might still find fun or good use in trying out a build without subclassing. At the time of writing (Update 47 PTS), these builds still remain somewhat competitive and thus can still be found below. They will not be updated, and as updates continue to change ESO PVP eventually they will become fully obsolete and will be deleted.
