ESO PVP Builds

Update 44 has launched on the live servers! New sets & builds 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!

Please be aware that due to a technical issue, some older builds have issues displaying at the moment. We are switching all builds to a new template and updating them in the process.
