Easy Stamina Dragonknight Easy DPS Build For ESO

The STONE DRAGON Build is an EASY DPS build for the Stamina Dragonknight class in The Elder Scrolls Online. This build only does massive damage over time as well as direct damage, has a simple rotation, and does not require ANY Trials gear.

Primary Sets

Our main damage set on this build is the Deadly Strike set. This buffs most of our Dragonknight abilities since they are Damage Over Time skills by a whopping 20 percent! This set is also fairly easy to get as you can purchase the set pieces you need from Guild Traders.

Leviathan is another strong set to use on Stamina DPS characters due to its focus on Critical Chance. This means that more often than not our damage will be a critical strike.

Finally, Velidreth as the monster set boosts our Weapon Damage even higher and gives us a very nice and consistent damage proc that increases the overall damage of this build even further.

(2 items) When you deal damage, you have a 20% chance to spawn 3 disease spores in front of you after 1 second that deal 10752 Disease Damage to the first enemy they hit. This effect can occur once every 8 seconds.

Alternative Sets

For alternatives, Leviathan can be replaced with any Stamina damage set that has a good amount of weapon critical. I would recommend either Tzogvin’s Warband or Hunding’s Rage for this. If you have access to Trials gear you could also use Arms Of Relequen in place of Leviathan. Velidreth can be replaced with other Monster Sets such as Stormfist or even Valkyn Skoria since we have so many DOT effects active.

Arms Of Relequen

LVL 50 – CP 160

(3 items) Gain Minor Slayer at all times, increasing your damage done to Dungeon, Trial, and Arena Monsters by 5%.

Valkyn Skoria

LVL 50 – CP 160

SET BONUS
(1 item) Adds 1487 Offensive Penetration
(2 items) When you deal damage with a damage over time effect, you have a 8% chance to summon a meteor that deals 9000 Flame Damage to the target and 3535 Flame Damage to all other enemies within 5 meters. This effect can occur once every 5 seconds.
