The SMITE Stamina Warden PVP Build is an easy to start with Beginner focused setup for Battlegrounds and Cyrodiil in The Elder Scrolls Online. Stamina Wardens are incredibly powerful both in solo and group PVP. They have amazing buffs and passive skills while also having strong defense, healing and outstanding burst damage potential. So if you want a fun brawler play style that can take as much damage it dishes out, then check out the Stamina Warden!
More details including gameplay of the SMITE Stamina Warden PVP Build can be found in the video below.
Primary Sets
For this Stamina Warden PVP build we will want to focus on increasing our survivability and sustain first. A great set that helps us do just that is the Eternal Vigor set. This provides some impressive Stamina and Magicka recovery as well as Health recovery when we need it.
Adding a second set focused more on damage will help this build secure more consistent kills in PVP. A solid option for this is which works great for both single target and AOE encounters is the Venomous Smite set.

Advanced Sets
For alternatives I also recommend some strong crafted sets like New Moon Acolyte or Stuhn’s Favor. Another great option, especially thanks to the Warden’s strong AOE skills and morphs will be Dagon’s Dominion.
If you choose to run a monster set I would recommend something with a defensive focus such as Bloodspawn.
