Ultimate Solo Stamina Templar Build For ESO

The KNIGHTMARE Build is a unique look at the Stamina Templar, integrating strong and easy-to-obtain gear sets with powerful skills and passives. Ready to unlock EASY MODE?

Primary Sets

Our main damaging set for this build is Deadly Strike. This set is PERFECT for any Templar build including Stamina, Magicka and Hybrid load outs. This will buff our main DPS skill as well as all our other skills by a whopping 15 percent!

Next, I prefer to play this build with a defensive set for better balance. In this case, Hexos Ward works insanely well, protecting our Health Pool while our passive healing takes care of any extra damage that might break through.

While a full Monster Set is not needed on this build, using one piece can give a nice single bonus for one gear piece. I recommend Slimecraw to fill this slot.

Finally, while you can use any Mythic you choose with this build I highly recommend the Ring Of The Pale Order if you want to attempt more challenging Solo Content such as Veteran Arenas and Group Dungeons.

Alternative Sets

For alternatives, you may prefer to run an extra damage set in addition to Deadly Strike such as Briarheart or Arms Of Relequen. You may also substitute the Ring Of The Pale Order for any other Mythic with a stronger damage focus such as the Sea Serpent’s Coil.

Consumables, Race, Mundus

Race

I prefer Imperial for this build, due to the extra Health and Stamina and amazing cost reduction. For better damage, any of the damage races such as Dark Elf or High Elf will also do great. For more details on all ESO Races and passive bonuses be sure to check out our Full ESO Race Guide.

Skills Discussion & Rotation

Buffs

Maintain Restoring Focus at all times and make sure to stand in it for the extra healing!

Rotation

Start on the Back Bar: Stampede, Carve, Razor Caltrops, Reflective Light, Restoring Focus, Carve, Barswap

Front Bar: Biting Jabs, Deadly Cloak, Barbed Trap, Biting Jabs x 4, Barswap

Notes

After the first rotation you only need to refresh Carve one time every two rotations. Use Radiant Ward for protection when getting attacked by multiple enemies. The more enemies the stronger the shield! Finally, save Repentance for when you need it, not after every single enemy.

Passive Skills

Class Passives

Weapon Passives

Armor Passives

Guild Passives

Racial

All Racial Passives

Other

Medicinal Use

Companions

If you like playing Solo, this build can benefit greatly from using Companions! This Solo build will benefit the most from the additional healing and buff options a healer-focused Companion can offer, so if you are going to use a Companion I would suggest a full healer build for them. I recommend Mirri Elendis for Companion on this build with the setup below. More information on Companions Builds and Skills can be found in our detailed Companion Guides section.

Recommended Gear

All Light Armor – Quickened Traits
Restoration Staff

Recommended Skills

Additional Skills

The skills below may also be helpful in other situations such as trash pulls.

Full Companion Build

INFUSOR

The INFUSOR Build is an easy Healing Set Up for Mirri Elendis, one of the new Companions available to ESO players starting in the Blackwood Chapter. The theme of this build is focused around Blood Magic Healing, as Mirri’s own class skills are very similar to that of a Nightblade.

Champion Points
