This build has a lot of damage potential I feel like. You have one constant summoned pet up and then when you gather enough Ultimate charge you slam down your Atronach. This build concentrates on the use of a Two Handed weapon, preferably a Mace or Hammer for the 'Ignore 80 Armor' ability that the Heavy Weapons passive supplies.

Basically my idea is that you run in and activate Rally, then you proceed to spam Carve and using Shattering Prison when necessary to keep your enemies rooted and in close range of each other to maximize Carve. The Dark Magic passives allow for increased damage and root duration of Shattering Prison. This will allow for more DPS as the longer SP is on a player, the more damage that Exploitation can allow with it's +15% chance to crit. Unholy Knowledge is kind of a given. This build needs as much Stamina/Magicka regen that it can get its hands on.

The Daedric Summoner passive's explain themselves I am pretty positive so I won't go into them.

After you charge in, root, spam carve, (possibly ult) and get them to 50% HP or lower, then it's time to start using Executioner. The lower your opponents health is, the more damage that this ability will do, and it can be quite an insane finisher.

I felt like all of the Two Handed weapon passive abilities were too valuable to pass up so I maxed them all out. Same goes (almost) for the Medium Armor tree. Evasion and Sneak were completely useless for what I want out of my character so I ignored those and picked up and maxed out all of the other passive skills under Medium Armor. Crit chance, stamina regen, attack speed, and dodge stamina reduction all seemed 100% necessary so it's self explanatory as to why I picked those up as well.

To min/max this build I went with Dark Elf (happens to be my normal ES race) with their increase to max Stamina and Magicka along with there increase to overall Magicka. I am unclear if the bonus Spell Power to fire effects counts towards Fire weapon enchants, but if it does I would pick that up too more than likely.


So this is what I have been tinkering around with after actually getting the time to sit down and study the build I would like to play. Anyone have any thoughts? I can't wait till actual launch so I can really play this build and fine tune it.

I like it, lots of good passive mana regen in the sorc trees to be sure. I'm going templar (shocker, i know) light armor, destro staff for solo and resto staff for group. Love how they made the staff skills take stamina instead of magicka -- lets me use both pools instead of just having a sprint bar. ESO heals aren't super targeted so you can just stand in a group and throw up aoe auras / non targeted heals in giant groups and sit in the back. Dampen magic from light armor protects you from casts, the group from melee, and archers can eat dick :p They are my bane.

Haha, thanks! I hope it works as well as it looks on paper.

I played Templar in the last beta and had a blast as a tank. I have heard a lot about the staff combo for Templar and it seems like a lot of fun. I have always played a Melee Heavy/light armor tank/DPS with conjuration in Oblivion and Skyrim so I really wanted to incorporate it to ESO and so far it looks like it's going to be a solid class combo.

It's definitely a "hide in the pack" kind of character. All mana taken on levels, all mana regen. Spell dam redux with the active (so cool how armor/weapon actives are stamina based now :P)

I am really happy about that too. Do enchants have limited uses like in previous ES games? I never got to that during the beta. It was a pain in the ass keeping up with the recharging and with an MMO I feel like I will need even more soul gems for my items.

What faction are you going to play btw? The Ebon Heart faction ha my 3 favorite races so I am more than likely gonna stick with them. I may make an Imperial for one of the others but that's a huge maybe. After all it's gonna be time consuming enough playing a DArk Elf, Argonian, and Nord, haha. Not sure if I will ever have time.

Is it the kind of pvp where you really need to know the class of your enemy?

I don't think so but I wasn't able to get that far during the beta. I realized I had an invite for the beta on the last day of the week and only got to play for 4-5 hours before it was over.

Actually come to think of it, there are so many skill combinations, I think it may be impossible to have anything other than some small isea

This would be my large scale PvP build. Watching videos of the large scale pvp, I noticed that the summoned creatures aren't nearly as effective and are hard to control with all those enemies around.

What dp ya think about this? I wanted to keep all my weapon damage potential but I really needed to give my self more protection.
