5x Pillar of Nirn, 5x Perf. Relequen, 1x Slimecraw, 1x Harpooner’s Kilt on a Dark Elf with Lava Foot Soup and Saltrice buff food.

• Unbuffed: Out of combat, buff food active.
• Buffed: In combat, raid target dummy buffs, weapon power potion, Harpooner’s Kilt, weapon damage enchantment, Hurricane and pet active.

Gear for the Stamina Sorcerer Build

You will find 3 different setups here for the Stamina Sorcerer Build for ESO. 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 Setup 1 – Stamina Sorcerer Build

This is the tier 1 setup for the Stamina Sorcerer Build that you should try to get, this is the most optimal setup to achieve high damage.

Gear Setup 2 – Stamina Sorcerer Build

This setup is for those that did not have the chances yet to step into a trial. You will deal slightly less damage than with the tier 1 setup, but not by much. Overall, the gear here is easier to get because you aren’t required to enter a trial.

• Briarheart Dagger: There is an unique Dagger “Materre’s Bodkin” that you can get fairly easy, instead of buying it expensive in the store.

Gear Setup 3 Beginner – Stamina Sorcerer Build

This setup is dedicated to people that have not had the chance to farm the necessary gear for the Stamina Sorcerer Build. All the gear here is either craftable or cheap to get in a guildstore.

Make sure to ask a friend to craft Hunding’s Rage and Night Mother’s Gaze. Agility jewelry can be obtained in the Guildstores. I do recommend having around 18k health (with buff-food). You can buy cheap Agility jewelry with healthy trait to reach this value if you want.

Where can I get the gear?

Pillar of Nirn: Falkreath Hold Dungeon
Perfected Merciless Charge (Maelstrom 2H): vMaelstrom Arena
Merciless Charge: nMaelstrom Arena
Slimecraw: vWayrest Sewers 1, Undaunted Enclave
Harpooner’s Wading Kilt (Mythic): Antiquities
Perfect Arms of Relequen: vCloudrest
Arms of Relequen: Cloudrest

Hunding’s Rage: Craftable
Night Mother’s Gaze: Craftable
Agility: Guildstore
Briarheart: Wrothgar, Guildstore
Mechanical Acuity: Craftable

Skills for the Stamina Sorcerer Build

The skill setup for the Stamina Sorcerer Build is very focused at maximizing your damage in your group.

Skills explanation:

• Barbed Trap: Deals damage and gives you Minor Force, increasing your Critical Damage by 10%.
• Bound Armaments: Passively grants more damage to light attacks and increases max stamina. You can also active this ability to charget up flying daggers that hit the enemy with a lot of damage, great for single target.
• Crystal Weapon: Your main spammable.
• Twilight Tormentor: Strong single target ability, auto attacks the enemy. You can also use other skills here if you don’t want two pets.
• Volatile Familiar: Activate the pet for good area of effect and single target damage. Also increases your overall health a bit thanks to the passive Expert Summoner.
• Flawless Dawnbreaker: This ultimate can be used for AoE (area of effect) encounters, for single target we use the other ultimate on the back bar.
• Stampede: Very powerful Single Target and AoE ability.
• Hurricane: Deals great damage and also boosts your resistances.
• Carve: Strong single target and AoE bleed ability.
• Greater Storm Atronach: Your go to ultimate for single target fights.

Sorcerer Scribing Skills

The ESO Scribing System offers plenty of adjustable skills to add to our build. We have two good options. Venomous Knife and Bloody Smash. Bloody Smash deals good direct and damage over time damage. Venomous Knife with the Warrior’s opportunity is a must have in stamina groups because it lets enemies take 8% more physical damage. But you only need this once, if someone else has it swap to Lingering Torment script to get additional damage over time. Both skills also give us easy access to Minor Berserk. If you already have that buff, swap it out with another Affix script.

Important: Please read here how to get Grimoires, Focus Scripts, Signature Scripts and Affix Scripts for the ESO Scribing System.

Base Scribing Skill:

• Dual Wield: Traveling Knife
• Two Handed: Smash

You need to reach level 25 in the skill lines of Dual Wield and Two-handed to unlock these Scribing Skills.

Venomous Knife

Traveling Knife turns into Venomous Knife with our Scribing scripts. You can use other Signature or Affix scripts as well, depending on the situation.

• Focus Script
  • Poison Damage
• Signature Script
  • Warrior’s Opportunity (8% more Physical Damage) or
  • Lingering Torment (Damage over time)
• Affix Script
  • Berserk (5% more damage)

Bloody Smash

Smash turns into Bloody Smash with our Scribing scripts.

• Focus Script
  • Bleed Damage
• Signature Script
  • Lingering Torment (Damage over time)
• Affix Script
  • Berserk (5% more damage)

You can You can also test more combinations out with the ESO Scribing Simulator.

Important Info for Stamina Sorcerer Build PvE

In this section of the ESO Stamina Sorcerer Build we are going to take a look at Buff-food, Mundus Stone, Potions, Poisons, Passives and Attributes you should use.

All these things are important, I will give you one example to showcase how fast you can lose power. Often players forget to use/activate the Medicinal Use passive. Therefore the player won’t be able to have a 100% uptime on his potions, which means he will lose a lot of weapon damage, weapon critical and resources.

Buff-food

Any of the three foods below works well with the build. For a list of all buff food and drink consumables please visit the Buff Food and Drinks Overview Page.

Lava Foot Soup and Saltrice
(Saltrice, Flour, Potato, Scrib Jelly)

Artaeum Takeaway Broth
(Max Health+Max Stamina+Stamina Recovery+Health Recovery)

Dubious Camoran Throne
(2nd option if Artaeum is too expensive)

Mundus Stone

The Thief Mundus Stone increases our overall Weapon Critical Rating which boosts our damage. For more information on Mundus Stones please visit the Mundus Stone Overview Page.

The Thief Mundus Stone (Increased Weapon Critical)

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

Resource Management for the Stamina Sorcerer Build

Energy Orb will always be present in a good group. When you get close to the Orb you can activate its synergy to regain resources.

Potions should always be used on cooldown to gain the maximum benefit from them.

Heavy Attacks help you restore Stamina, if you drop low on resources do a few Heavy Attacks between skills to refill your Stamina.

• Orb Synergy
• Heavy Attacks
• Potions
• Dark Deal

Optionally, you can also use Dark Deal to manage your resources better, in most cases that skill is overkill though.

---

Rotation for the Stamina Sorcerer Build

Here is a quick explanation of what you have to do with all the skills on your bar.

• Your main spammable is Crystal Weapon
• Your semi spammable is Bound Armaments (Use it whenever you have 4 daggers flying over your head)
• Reapply DoTs (damage over time) effects after they run out: Unstable Familiar, Stampede, Carve, Hurricane and Barbed Trap.
• Activate Storm Atronach Ultimate whenever it is ready
• Always light attack between each ability.

---

Area of Effect Setup

Lets take a look at an AoE setup for the Stamina Sorcerer Build. Trash packs don’t live for a very long time, anything that provides us with extra burst damage is useful, therefore we use sets like Mechanical Acuity and Azureblight Reaper as well as the very powerful Perfected Titanic Cleave.

Note: Dual Wield is often used for single target, whereas Two Hander is often used for AoE. Therefore, if you want to see an 2H AoE setup, please check out the 2H Stamina Sorcerer Build.
