ESO Stamina Dragonknight Beginner Build

Welcome to my Stamina Dragonknight Beginner Build for ESO! The Stamina Dragonknight is a sturdy Class with access to strong Fire and Poison Damage, that can help you in Solo and Group PVE! This Beginner Build is designed for 160 Champion Points and beyond in order to help you level up but also farm better Armor Sets. The Build is focusing on c160 and above simply because that is when having a proper build matters!

Before you reach c160 all you have to worry about is leveling up and unlocking as many skill lines and skills as possible. c160 is also the gear cap in The Elder Scrolls Online, so after you hit that level every Set piece you drop is good to use forever! When you start getting better gear, you can check dedicated Solo or DPS Dragonknight Builds that will help you clear the content you are after.

ESO Stamina Dragonknight Beginner Build Setup

The core of the Build is two Crafted 5-piece Sets that you can get easily from other players or even craft yourself! You can prepare the Sets and use them the moment you reach c160! Order’s Wrath is an amazing Set that offers a boost to Damage and Healing. Morkuldin on the other hand is a fun DPS Set that summons a Weapon to assist you in fight!

Your priority when you hit c160 is to farm a good Monster Set to wear! Stormfist or Selene are both nice Sets that you can get from relatively easy Dungeons, the Veteran Tempest Island or the Veteran Selene’s Web respectively. Before you can farm these Monster Sets, you can complement the Build with two pieces from the Agility Set. Epic(purple) quality is more than enough for the Build.

Every Companion can fulfill every role in the game and help you enjoy ESO more by clearing content faster or by simply interacting with them and their charming personality! There are various Builds you can use for every available ESO Companion!

As a Beginner my recommendation is to bring along a Tank or Healer Companion! To find out which ESO Companion is the Best in every role you can take a look at my ESO Best Companion Guide! To further maximize the potential of your chosen Companion, you can wear the Telvanni Efficiency Set! A Crafted Set that reduces the cooldown of your Companions abilities, improving their damage and overall effects and assisting you further in combat.
