Introduction

Welcome to the Stamina Sorcerer Build PvE Two Hander “Deathstroke” for Elder Scrolls Online. Make sure to bookmark the link as I will keep updating the build for each new Update of ESO. The Stamina Sorcerer DPS 2H Build “Deathstroke” is optimized for Dungeons & Trials.

Stamina Sorcerers have insane passives which synergies very well with 2H setups. Sorcerers get 5% extra physical damage and they also have access to Implosion, which is basically an auto execute. On top of that they also have access to cheaper ultimates due to the passive Power Stone. You also have access to a powerful shield for trashfights, everytime you use the skill Brawler you get a 2500 shield and this increases for each enemy hit. The only downside with this compared to a dualwield build is, that you do not have access to Deadly Cloak which basically provides a 25% damage mitigation, so the build can be quite difficult to play in veteran Trials.

• • Medium armor
  • Two Hander & Bow setup
  • High single target (ST) damage
  • High area of effect (AoE) damage
  • Crazy splash damage
  • Heavy Attack/ Light Attack rotation
  • Shield on trashfights
  • Trials & Dungeon

Resource Management

I prefer using Heavy Attacks on the frontbar combined with Wrecking Blow because those two boost each others damage quite well plus you get insanely strong splash damage on top. On the backbar I usually use light attacks to get back to the frontbar as fast as possible. You can also run Vicious Serpent set which helps a lot in terms of resource management. I recommend being a Redguard because you will get the best sustain. If you are using another Race then I recommend using one or two Stamina Recovery Glyphs to help out with the sustain. If you want you could use Dark Deal, which gives back a ton of stamina. The Camoran Throne Drink is also an option

• Heavy Attacks resource return
• Recovery Glyph
• Dark Deal
• Redguard (if available)
• Dubious Cameron Throne Drink
• Vicious Serpent set

Trials & Dungeons Setup

Gear

Gear Setup 1

• Vicious Serpent: If you want better sustain, you can also use Vicious Serpent. The Set is very strong in terms of damage output, it just does not buff your groups dps as much as War Machine does.
• War Machine: You can still run War Machine like in the Morrowind Patch. However, I suggest that you swap to either Hundings Rage or Strength of the Automaton set, because the Weapon Cricital Bonus got buffed which makes it slightly stronger.

Gear alt

• Spriggan: This is a nice replacement for Twice Fanged Serpent set, it only has 1k less penetration compared to the Twice Fanged Serpent set and is pretty easy to get as you can buy it or farm it alone.
• Also in case you do not have any Master or Maelstrom weapon, you can use 1 piece Kragh and go with Spriggan Sword and Bow.

Rotation & Skeleton Parse

Rotation is quite simple. We only have Hurricane that does not really fit into the rotation perfectly. Reapply Hurricane whenever it runs out, it is important to let it run out, because the longer it lasts the more damage it does.

Rearming Trap > Light Attack > Endless Hail > Light Attack > Poison Injection > Light Attack > Razor Caltrops > Weapon Swap
Wrecking Blow > Heavy Attack > Wrecking Blow > Heavy Attack > Wrecking Blow > Light Attack > Brawler > Weapon Swap

Skeleton Parse sooooooon..
