The GOD MODE Build is a Solo Magicka Templar build for ESO that showcases the ultra powerful Templar class in its most simple form – a one bar build. This build is strong enough to complete almost any solo content (and even some group content) in the game with just a few skills, including Veteran Maelstrom Arena and Vateshran Hollows.
Primary Sets
Order’s Wrath is a strong, easily crafted set that will increase our overall Critical Chance as well as Critical Damage.
Deadly Strike is an equally powerful set focused on buffing Damage Over Time and Channeled skills. This will buff all of our main damage sources including Puncturing Sweeps.
The Oakensoul Ring is the new go-to Mythic Item that packs a punch for one bar builds. delivering many powerful Major and Minor buffs.
Finally, a one-piece Monster Set is perfect for adding some extra stats to this build. A great option is Slimecraw for the additional Critical Chance.

Race, Mundus, and Consumables
High Elf is my favorite race for this build because they have reduced damage while channeling abilities – this works with our main spammable, puncturing sweeps! And of course they have extra spell damage and max magicka. Other magic-based races like Breton, Dark Elf, and even Khajiit will work also. For more details on all ESO Races and passive bonuses be sure to check out our Full ESO Race Guide.
