ESO PVP Builds

Update 41 (Scions of Ithelia) has launched on the live servers! New sets & builds need to be tested before I can update the site. This will take 1-2 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 builds will be updated for U41 in the week of 11/03 – 25/03.

Healer Builds

With the help of experienced PvP healers such as Degonyte, we can now provide excellent support builds. This section will soon include skill layouts and notes for all classes. These builds are made for healing groups of 4-12 people.
