ESO Zenkosh DK Build

Best Zenkosh DK Build for ESO, that will help you deal enough damage and assist your group in harder PVE gameplay! The goal of this Pure Class Build is to provide assistance in challenging encounters and make it easier for your group to clear content. This is a dedicated Support DPS Build for organized Group gameplay in The Elder Scrolls Online!

What is a Zenkosh Build in ESO?

A Zenkosh Build is a special DPS setup, that is focusing on providing assistance to your group in PVE gameplay. A normal DPS Build basically, that is using the Roar of Alkosh and Z’en’s Redress Armor Sets. Powerful support Sets, that allow you to debuff enemies when activating a synergy but also buff your Group’s damage when you Light Attack, based on the number of DoTs you have applied to an enemy.

This is why the Best Class of choice for a Zenkosh Build is the Dragonknight, thanks to its DoT potential. A Zenkosh DK Build can be Magicka or Stamina based and requires good Light Attack Weaving to be effective! This setup is focusing on a Stamina based Zenkosh Dk Build.

Best Companion for Zenkosh DK DPS Build ESO

This is a dedicated Group content Build but if you wish to play Solo, you can bring along a mighty Companion! Companions in ESO are helpful allies that can assist you in combat. 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 DPS focused character my recommendation is to bring along a Tank or Healer Companion!

A Crafted Set that reduces the cooldown of your Companions abilities, improving their damage and overall effects and assisting you further in combat.
