Introduction

Welcome to the Stamina Templar Build PvE “Jabsmania” for Elder Scrolls Online. Make sure to bookmark the link as I will keep updating the build for each new Update of ESO. The Jabsmania Build is optimized for Trials, Dungeons & Maelstrom Arena.

We are using a Dual Wield & Bow setup, as it provides the most damage output in Dungeons, Trials and Arenas. Templars can provide Minor Fracture and Minor Breach debuff through Power of the Light which increases the groups dps by quite a bit. The build also has very high Single Target and AoE damage and can sustain well.

• Dualwield & Bow setup
• Medium Armor
• High Stamina resource pool
• good sustain
• Crazy AoE damage
• Crazy Single Target damage

Changes from the previous version

Templars got a huge buff thanks to the change to Restoring Focus, which now recovery stamina every second, similar to the magicka counterpart.

• Updated Champion Points to 810 CP and added 600 CP Setup.
• Added Blackrose Prison Arena setup section
• Weapon Enchantments order changed and traits of weapons changed.

Resource Management

Templar can sustain a rotation with blue food already, just make sure to keep up Restoring Focus in your rotation. We also use a Absorb Stamina Enchantment on the off hand which again increases our sustain. You also want to make sure that Spears or Orbs are used by your healers to activate the synergy for resources. I recommend being a Redguard because you will get the best sustain. You have more options, you can also use Stormfist as a main Monster Set to gain another Stamina Recovery bonus or Vicious Serpent set that gives cost reduction and extra stamina on trash fights.

• Absorb Stamina Enchantment
• Restoring Focus
• Orbs or Spears from Healers
• Heavy Attacks (optional)
• Repentance
• Vicious Serpent Set (optional)
• Redguard Passive (If available)

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.

Rotation & Skeleton Parse

With this rotation you should be able to have an uptime of 80% with Power of the Light. Place Rearming Trap before you start the fight if possible.

Endless Hail > LA > Razor Caltrops > LA > Poison Injection > Weapon Swap >
Biting Jabs > LA > Power of the Light > LA > Rending Slashes > LA > 2x Biting Jabs (With LA) > Rearming Trap > LA > Power of the Light > Weapon Swap >
Restart

LA = Light Attack

• Make sure to recast Restoring Focus every second rotation. If you forget it you will see that your stamina will decrease a lot faster.

Skeleton Parse

Blackrose Prison Arena

This section of the build is dedicated to the Blackrose Prison Arena, it is a bit different compared to the usual Trial and Dungeon setup due to how the Arena works and because you fight such a huge amount of enemies each wave.

• Gear Setup
• Alternative Gear Setups
• Skill Setup

Gear Setup

• Vicious Serpent is the perfect set to increase your sustain by a lot and allows us to easily run blue max Health and max Stamina food.
• Twice-Fanged-Serpent is needed because the tank can not debuff all monsters all the time so the extra penetration from that set really helps to increase the overall damage.
• Stormfist Monster Set is a very good choice in Blackrose Prison Arena as it increases your sustain and deals really nice AoE and Single Target damage.
• We run full Robust jewelry to help with the overall sustain in the arena. If you want you can run Infused but it will make sustain tougher.

Alternative Gear Setups

• 5x Berserking Warrior, 5x Vicious Serpent, 2x Stormfist
• 5x Hunding's Rage, 5x Briarheart, 2x Stormfist
• 5x Vicious Serpent, 5x Hunding's Rage, 2x Stormfist

As Bow Backbar Weapon you should optimally choose the The Maelstrom's Bow, if you do not have access to it I can also recommend the The Master's Bow.

A lot of good combos that work elsewhere also work in the Blackrose Prison Arena, most important is that you have enough sustain to kill off all those trash pack waves that get thrown at you.

Skills

Because of the huge amount of trash monsters that gets thrown at you, you need to make sure to have a AoE damage Setup. Therefore Steel Tornado is your best friend.

Like in the rotation before, make sure to keep up your back bar DoTs, especially Endless Hail and Razor Caltrops.
