Necromancers are usually looking for something to buff their Damage and here we have a perfect solution. In this article, we are going to discuss the Necromancer Stamina DPS Build that focuses Primarily on Damage.

Being an all-out DPS Build, you need to have someone with you for survivability. For that reason, this build is great for the PvE combat as you can deal enormous damage to your group.

Furthermore, you don’t always deal direct enhanced damage, rather you are based on the health of your enemies. The build has a division of DPS for enemies with over 50 percent health and under 50 percent health.

Background for Necromancer Stamina DPS Build

ESO Necromancer Tank Build Guide - MMOPIXEL (2)

This Build is mainly based on the Necromancer Class that has a combination of Dual wield and Bow Abilities. For the Stamina DPS, you need to have the Bow Abilities on the Back bar and Dual Wield Abilities on the Front Bar.

Another great thing about this build is that it is very versatile, meaning you can go for the type of damage you are looking for. Your main goal here is to provide the enemies with DPS using the Poison Effect and the Disease Effect.

To make this Build work, you will have to use the set of abilities and skills according to the health of enemies based on more than or less than 50 percent health.

For enemies with more than fifty percent health, you won’t have to use the Whirling Blades unless their distance is less. A light attack for the most of time before using any ability, while a heavy attack is when you need some stamina.

For the Enemies with less than 50 percent, you should only add the Whirling Blades into the mix.

Race Selection for Necromancer Stamina DPS Build

You can go for any Race that enhances your Stamina. In our aspect, you can go for the;

Khajiit Race:This Race provides you with a 10 percent enhancement to your Healing and Critical Damage. While, you also have that 2k enhanced Stamina, 950 stamina restoration after 5 seconds for damage (direct), and a reduction in ability cost to around 8 percent.

Redguard Race: This race gives you the Stamina, Reduction, and Restoration of Khajiit class, but you don’t get that Critical and Healing factor here.

In case you don’t want to go for these two races, you can go for the Imperial Race as it also has somewhat similar gains.

For this Necromancer Stamina DPS Build, you don’t have to worry about the Magicka at all. Your main focus should be that Stamina the most, as you are a Necromancer. Health isn’t that important here as you have your teammates to help you up in PVE.

In another case, you might want to go single sometimes, so you will have to pump that Health up some degrees. Still, you aren’t that strong to tank things up, as it is a Stamina DPS build, not a tank one.

Final Verdict for Necromancer Stamina DPS Build

There is a lot of fun in playing the Necromancer DPS Builds as they are versatile, have high damage abilities, and are stronger in comparison to the Magicks substitutes. Necromancer Stamina DPS Build is a high damage build but lacks durability. For this reason, it is a recommended PvE Build in which you have your allies to back to cover you up.

You can also go Solo in this build if you have enough resistance and healing by your side. While you can get by a change of abilities to Summoner Armor, Resolving Vigor, and so on.

Last but not least, your main concern should be working with the two rotations of enemies with more than 50 percent health and enemies with less than 50 percent health. The division of abilities and playstyle should be according to this division.
