Description

Venomous is a Stamina Dragonknight PVE Build that relies on strong poison direct and DOT attacks to weaken and destroy enemies. A build with interesting and fun gameplay that is balanced around both solo and group content. The build relies mostly on the class’ strong poison skills but also to other DOT damage skills to breeze through PVE content in ESO.

Venomous is perfect for new and veteran players, especially if you like the idea of playing a character with many poison-based attacks.

For a Magicka Dragonknight PVE Build, you can take a look at Fireheart.

If you are a new player, you can take a look at my Dragonknight Beginner Guide.

If you are looking for a Solo PVE Build for Arenas like the Maelstrom Arena and Vateshran Hollows, take a look at my Stamina Dragonknight Solo Build.

You can find more Builds in the Dragonknight Builds page.
