Update Log
Welcome to the Stamina Warden Bow Build PvE “Racer” for ESO (Elder Scrolls Online). Make sure to bookmark the link as I will keep updating the bow build for each new Update of ESO. The Stamina Warden Bow Build is optimized for Dungeons but can also be run in trials. You can also find plenty of other Stamina Warden content on the website such as:

Stamina Warden Dual Wield Build
Stamina Warden Two Hander Build
SOLO Stamina Warden Build
Stamina Wardens have pretty good ranged abilities like the Cliffracer and the Subt. Assault, combined with the bow skill-line you can set off some really good ranged damage. Bow builds are still quite the under dog as they are not widely accepted due to the smaller damage output and they are harder to play. However, with this setup you can pull off good numbers and survivability should also not be a problem.

Gear Beginner
This gear setup is pretty easy to get, you need to ask a guildmate to craft you Hundings Rage and Night Mothers Gaze. You can buy Agility in Guildstores, if you want really cheap pieces just buy the Healthy Trait ones, then you can actually invest all points into Stamina and you should get to a decent Health level.

Resource Management ESO Warden Bow Build
Bull Netch is the Wardens best friend, it restores a lot of Stamina, make sure to keep it up all the time. We use Lava Foot Soup and Saltrice to gain a lot of stamina recovery, this should cover most of our sustain already.
You also want to make sure that Orbs are used by your healers to activate the synergy for resources.
Potions should be activated on cooldown to get the resources and buffs.
Heavy Attacks should only be used if you drop low on stamina. Each heavy attack restores around 3000 stamina.
Natures Gift passive

Rotation for the ESO Warden Bow Build
The “Weaving Beginner Guide” explains how to weave light attacks between abilities, aka animation canceling.
Buff up with Bull Netch before you engage in a fight.
Use your main spammable Lethal Arrow when all DoTs are active.
Also keep up your semi-spammable Subterranean Assault.
DoTs to keep active in fights: Endless Hail, Poison Injection and Growing Swarm.
Light Attack weave between all skills.
Activate Wild Guardian Ultimate attack whenever it is ready to maximize damage.
Arrow Spray is only used for AoE in trash fights
