Ultimate PVP Subclassing Dragonknight Build

Dragonknight Class Overview

The Dragonknight Class is an extremely powerful way to play in The Elder Scrolls Online. Dragonknights have many similarities with other classes in ESO such as dedicated Class Skill lines for DPS, for Healing, and for Tanking. Dragonknights are known for their sturdy nature as melee combat specialists but also have many powerful magic abilities. For a more detailed guide be sure to review our ESO Dragonknight Class Guide.

Subclassing Dragonknight PVP Sets

Our main 5 piece set on this build is Dagon’s Dominion, which applies a lot of extra pressue to our already powerful AOE Damage abilities.

Next is the Wretched Vitality set, which provides some much needed sustain to this build, helping us stay in the fight for longer and never going low on resources!

For the monster set on this build, Balorgh is recommended for the burst damage as we will be pumping out ultimates quite frequently!

Subclassing Dragonknight PVP Attributes

Most of our skills cost Stamina to cast, so putting all of your Attribute Points into the Stamina stat makes the most sense.

Race, Mundus, and Consumables

Orc will be a powerful and flexible option for this Stamina-based Dragonknight build. For a more defensive option, consider the Nord race.

Best Subclassing Dragonknight PVP Skill Lines

This build uses Subclassing for maximum effectiveness. The recommended skill lines for this build are:

• Dragonknight Draconic Power
• Warden Animal Companions
• Necromancer Grave Lord

Combat Basics

Buffs: Maintain Hardened Armor and Bull Netch as your primary armor and damage buffs.

Damage Combo: Start with Deep Fissure which has a 3 second timer, then immediately cast Blighted Blastbones which has a 2.5 second timer. These two skill will explode at basically the same time, doing massive AOE damage and greatly debuffing your enemies. You can recast these as needed to lower enemy health. Swap to your backbar as needed to slow and debuff enemies further with Heroic Slash. Once enemies are roughly 30% you can start using Reverse Slice to execute them.

Healing/Defense: Once you start to take pressure, roll away to try to escape while casting Resolving Vigor. Cast Blood of the Green Dragon if you need additional healing.
