The EXECUTIONER Build is a classic burst-oriented Stamina Templar setup for the Elder Scrolls Online. THREE ways to finish your opponent plus additional pressure provided by our Item Sets make for an amazing offensive build. We also have great sustain and passives thanks to our Templar class skills.
Templar Class Overview
The Templar Class is an extremely powerful way to play in The Elder Scrolls Online. Templars have powerful Class Skill lines great for DPS, Healing, Tanking, and playing Solo. Templars are a great choice for any build due to their many great damage and defensive options.
For a more detailed guide, be sure to review our ESO Templar Class Guide located here.
Primary Sets
Sheer Venom is a great offensive set that provides additional DOT damage to our main target – it also only needs to be slotted on the back bar. Agility is our front bar weapon, which adds tons of stamina through the two-piece bonus. Draugr Hulk buffs our max stamina even more, giving us even bigger damage and heals. Finally, Selene is a great close-quarters monster set that can also provide big burst damage.

Consumables, Race, Mundus
Race
The best race for this build depends on your playstyle. I prefer Nord, as the extra resistances help make this build feel tankier, especially wearing 6 pieces of medium armor. Orc will be great for Damage and Speed while Redguard will give you even more sustain. For more details on all ESO Races and passive bonuses be sure to check out our Full ESO Race Guide.
Mundus
The Warrior
Food/Drink Buff
Bewitched Sugar Skulls
Increase Max Health by 4620, Max Stamina and Magicka by 4250, and Health Recovery by 462 for 2 hours.
