Introduction

Welcome to the Stamina Necromancer Bow Build PvE “Blight” for Elder Scrolls Online. Make sure to bookmark the link as I will keep updating the build for each new Update of ESO. The Blight Build is optimized for Trials, Dungeons & Arenas. You can also find plenty of other Stamina Necromancer content on the website such as:

Other Stamina Necromancer Guides:

This Necromancer bow build functions similar to other bow builds, you can play close up, mid range or at max range depending on your current skill setup. For our main setup we run Perfected Arms Of Relequen, Tzogvin’s Warband and a Monster set of your choice depending on how close to the enemy you can play. You can also run other sets that are explained in the Stamina DPS Sets guide.

  • Necromancer Class
  • High Burst Damage
  • High Single Target damage
  • High AoE Damage
  • Good Sustain
  • Bow & Bow Setup
  • Trials, Dungeon & Arenas

Resource Management

Keeping up the Skeletal Archer will allow you to have the Undead Confederate passive up a 100% of the time. Make sure to activate potions on cooldown to keep up the recovery passives and make sure to use the right food, that way we can almost reach 1950 Stamina Recovery which should be enough to sustain.

In case you still have trouble, you can also do heavy attacks to restore stamina.

  • Undead Confederate
  • Lava Foot and Saltrice Soup Food
  • Heavy Attacks
  • Potions

Trials & Dungeons Setup

 

Gear

You will find 3 different setups here. Setup 1 is the preferred setup. For people that do not have all the gear yet can use the Setup 2 which is easier to obtain and beginners can use Setup 3.

  • Setup 1 is with Trial Gear
  • Setup 2 is without Trial Gear
  • Setup 3 is for Beginners

There are a lot of good Stamina Sets available, you can find more viable stamina dps sets in this Stamina DPS Sets Article. I also elaborate on specific sets that are often used in this article to give you a bit more insight as to why they are used.

Gear beginner

This gearsetup is pretty easy to get, you need to ask a guildmate to craft you Hundings Rage and Night Mothers Gaze. You can buy Agility in Guildstores, if you want really cheap pieces just buy the Healthy Trait ones, then you can actually invest all points into Stamina and you should get to a decent Health level.

Important Info for Stamina Necromancer Bow Build PvE

Buff-food

Because the Necromancer has a passive that increases health Last Gasp and we also put 20 points into the health attribute, we can actually run Max Stamina + Stamina Recovery food! We loose a bit of health and stamina but we gain a lot of extra Stamina Recovery!

Food buff

Mundus Stone

The Shadow (Increased Critical Damage)

Race

Any race with stamina based perks works for this setup. If you want a complete overview of all races and racial passives, then I recommend checking out the ESO Races Overview page.

Orc
Khajiit
Dark Elf
Nord
Redguard
Wood Elf
Imperial
High Elf

Potions

Weapon Crit Potions 
(Weap dmg, Weap Crit, Stamina)
(Blessed Thistle, Dragonthorn, Wormwood)

Essence of Weapon Power Potion ESO

Poisons

Damage Health Poison
(Damage Poison, Damage Poison)
(Fleshfly Larva, Nightshade, Nirnroot)

double health poisons

Passives

Attributes

20 Health, 44 Stamina, 0 Magicka

Rotation

In case you don’t know what what weaving light attacks is, make sure to check out the “Weaving Beginner Guide” which explains how to weave light attacks between abilities, aka animation canceling.

Prebuff with: Skeletal Archer and Blighted Blastbones

You basically want to use Blighted Blastbones on the frontbar four times per rotation, keep up your DoTs and if you still have time use Lethal Arrow as spammable. You could use Venom Skull, but I found Lethal Arrow to be stronger and easier to sustain.

Endless Hail > LA > Poison Injection > Weapon Swap

LA > BB > LA > Skeletal Archer > LA > Lethal Arrow > BB > 2x Lethal Arrow (with LA) > BB > 2x Lethal Arrow (with LA) > BB > 2x Lethal Arrow (with LA) > BB > Weapon Swap

Restart

  • BB = Blighted Blastbones
  • LA = Light Attack
  • If you can, activate Detonating Siphon whenever it runs out.
