Table of Contents
Welcome to the Stamina Sorcerer Build PvP “Creeve” for ESO (Elder Scrolls Online). Make sure to bookmark the link as I will keep updating the build for each new Update of ESO. This build is made for Cyrodiil and Battlegrounds.
The Stamina Sorcerer PvP Build is a heavy armor build that can take quite a few punches. We have high mobility, insane burst damage, and good resource management on this Stamina Sorcerer build. Having Hurricane, Quick Cloak and being an Orc gives us an additional 55% speed boost which will make you the fastest player on the battlefield.
Burst damage comes from a combination of skills like Dizzying Swing, Dawnbreaker of Smiting Ultimate, Executioner and sets such as Clever Alchemist, New Moon Acolyte, and Balorgh. Damage mitigation comes from heavy armor, Hurricane and Quick Cloak.
Sustain is mostly tied to Potions, Heavy Attacks and Dark Deal, that is also the reason why we have quite a lot of Max Magicka compared to other ESO PVP Builds.

Skills explanation:
- Streak: Use this to stun enemies and you can also use this to increase mobility, a very powerful ability.
- Critical Rush: Your gap closer that also deals good damage because it always crits.
- Executioner: Your execute ability, use this when the enemy is below 30%. (If you want more splash damage, use the other morph Reverse Slice)
- Dizzying Swing: Your main spammable, can also set enemies off balance, and can follow up with a heavy attack to regain a lot of resources and stun the enemy.
- Camouflaged Hunter: Applies Major Savagery and Minor Berserk buff, this is only passively slotted.
- Dawnbreaker of Smiting: This is your go-to Ultimate, deals AoE cone damage and applies a damage over time effect on the enemy.
- Quick Cloak: Activate this to get insane AoE damage reduction and speed buff.
- Dark Deal: Spam this to regain a lot of stamina and health. This is your main resource management tool!
- Hurricane: Strong AoE damage and also gives us extra resistance (Major Resolve) on top of a powerful speed boost (Minor Expedition).
- Critical Surge: Applies Major Brutality, increasing Weapon Damage, and also heals us every time we crit.
- Resolving Vigor: Your main heal, if you drop low activate this and follow up with a dodge roll.
- Temporal Guard: Passively slotted to gain the Minor Protection buff, increasing your damage mitigation. Can also be used defensively to get out of tricky situations.
The “Weaving Beginner Guide” explains how to weave light attacks between abilities, aka animation canceling.

Important Info for Stamina Sorcerer Build PvP
Buff-food
For this setup, we are using the Lava Foot Soup and Saltrice buff food. This will boost our max Stamina and Stamina Recovery by a lot for this setup. You can buy this food for a cheap price in the guildstores, if you click on the link of the buff food you can also see price data.
Lava Foot Soup and Saltrice
(Max Stamina, Stamina Recovery)

Orc
Redguard

Potions
Tri-Stat Potions are by far the best option you have for this setup to boost all your primary resources. You can use the crafted or the crown store version.
Tri-Stat Potion
(Health, Stamina, Magicka)
(Bugloss, Columbine, Mountain Flower)
Poisons
I highly recommend running Poisons on the Dual Wield bar, those poisons help root the enemy and also drain stamina.
Escapist Poison
(Immobilize, Speed reduction, Drain Stamina)
(Blessed Thistle, Columbine, Namiras Rot)

Attributes
10 Health, 54 Stamina, 0 Magicka
Resource Management
Resource management is fairly easy on this setup once you get used to it. Your main resource tool is Dark Deal which both gives Stamina and Health in exchange for Magicka, we got plenty of Magicka so we will always have resources to trade.
On top of that, you can also do Heavy Attacks and use Potions at the right moments to boost your resources.
- Dark Deal
- Heavy Attacks
- Potions
Battlegrounds Stamina Sorcerer PvP Build
The only thing we are changing is our jewelry. To make up for the sustain we are going all in on Stamina Recovery glyphs on jewelry.
