Arcanist
The Arcanist is a powerful DPS Class in ESO, thanks to its unique Crux System! The Class generates Crux and consumes it with specific skills, in order to deal massive damage. Fatecarver is the stronger Skill of the Arcanist and the Best Builds are designed around it. You can combine your Arcanist with Nightblade abilities to further boost your overall DPS!
Arcanist Builds & Guides:
Dragonknight
The Dragonknight is a strong Status Effects based Class, that can deal great Fire and Poison Damage! The Dk mostly shines in Damage over Time setups, which makes it a great class to combine with Necromancer for Subclassing Builds.

- Stamina Dragonknight DPS Subclassing
Necromancer
The Necromancer is a complex Class to play, that relies a lot on its minions for damage. However they also do great Damage over Time DPS Builds, so you can combine them with Dragonknights if you wish to boost your overall damage. Grave Lord’s Sacrifice or Blighted Blastbones will always be the core skill of your Necromancer DPS Build, depending on the type of setup you are after.
Necromancer Builds & Guides:
Nightblade
A hard to master Class, that requires great Light Attack Weaving if you wish to be efficient. Nightblade is the least Beginner Friendly Class in ESO but can be powerful and very rewarding when you know what you are doing. It is also one of the Best Classes for Subclassing in ESO, that can empower every other Class! The Assassination skill line grants access to a strong spammable, an amazing execute and great passive skills that will help you boost your damage.
Nightblade Builds & Guides:
Sorcerer
The Sorcerer is the easiest Class in ESO and the Best option for Beginners! It is also the closest to a “Summoner” Class in The Elder Scrolls Online, that can create strong Pet Builds. You can combine them with Nightblade skills to further boost your damage or Warden and Necromancer skills if you wish to create a small army!
Sorcerer Builds & Guides:
Templar
The Templar lacks the strong skills of the other ESO classes but still has a few good abilities that can assist you. Templars can work well as both DoT and Burst damage setups. In order to create a strong Subclassing Build with them though, you will have to rely on other Classes and their abilities.
Templar Builds & Guides:
Warden
The Warden is a balanced Class with strong skill lines! To be efficient, even with a Subclassing Build, you will have to rely on your Animal Companions skills and the unreliable Bear Ultimate! Wardens can make strong Pet Builds but also are the Best for a Frost DPS Build, thanks to their Piercing Cold Passive.
