Introduction

Welcome to the Stamina Warden Build PvP “Assault” for PvP 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 optimized for Cyrodiil and also works in Battlegrounds.

With this Stamina Warden PvP Build we are using a heavy armor setup that focuses on crazy high burst damage and mobility. At the same time we are also very tanky and have good healing values.  To achieve this, we are using Clever Alchemist, New Moon Acolyte and Balorgh. Alchemist and New Moon Acolyte both provide a crazy amount of extra Weapon Damage. Stamina Wardens in general have really high damage because of their combo, Dizzying Swing, Subterranean Assault, Dawnbreaker of Smiting and Reverse Slice. All these abilities, if timed correctly, can blow up within 1.5 seconds.

• Cyrodiil & Battlegrounds
• Heavy Armor 2H + DW Build
• Crazy Burst Damage
• Good Sustain
• Good Healing
• High Resistances
• Good Defense

Resource Management

We run 1 Stamina Recovery Glyph and the Lava Foot Soup and Saltrice for increased recovery. So with all these things combined and some abilities that help with sustain we should have enough.

The Bull Netch has to be kept up all the time, it returns a lot of stamina to you. You can also always do a Heavy Attacks in the right moment to restore plenty of Stamina. And we also do have potions that give you a big chunk of Stamina back when activated.

Potions

I recommend using the Essence of Weapon Crit Potion. The nice thing is, on a Warden you do not really need that much Magicka, therefore we can actually use this potion that gives us Stamina, Health and an extra 12% Weapon Crit, which is a HUGE buff in terms of damage output.

Instead of Weapon Damage glyphs on our jewelry we are going with Stamina Recovery to make up for the sustain gap in Battlegrounds.

Mundus Stone

If you still struggle with sustain, you could get The Serpent Mundus Stone to further increase sustain.
