Introduction
Grinding in The Elder Scrolls Online is one thing you will have to consider doing if you want to make it to end game content as a new player. New players will quickly learn that once you reach lvl 50 the grind has just begun. After you reach lvl 50 a player must then grind from Champion Level 10 to Champion Level 160 to reach gear cap. But it does not stop there. With the soft cap on Champion Points being 1800 you may decide to reach these levels quickly by experience farming/grinding. This build guild is designed to obtain as much experience as possible while grinding out Champion Points. The build works best when grinding a lot of mobs at once such as; nBRP, Skyreach, Spellscar, Zombies.
Stamina Templar
The reason we chose the stamina templar for this guide is because of its accessibility to all players, its great burst damage, quick mobility, and great resource sustain built in the class. Feel free to use the quick links below to jump to different parts of the guide or follow in its entirety from beginning to end. This guide should have all the information needed to be able to generate quick experience when farming.
Overview
Race: Does not matter, however, the High Elf (Altmer) does receive an increase in experience by 1%
Food: Any Bi-stat or Tri-stat food is fine
Mundus Stone: The Steed for movement speed
Consumables: Any experience buff you are comfortable affording & any trash potions are fine
Attributes: 64 Stamina, 0 Health, 0 Magicka
Gear
The gear that we use for gaining champion points and grinding experience in this build is the most important part of everything. The Heartland Conqueror set is the single most important set when it comes to gaining xp. The 5 piece passive offering your training weapon trait a 100% boost. Our other main set Plaguebreak is key with killing ads quickly by utilizing the 5th piece passive causing all the enemies to explode.
Gear Information:
- All armor in ‘Training’ trait for max xp gains
- Weapons in ‘Training’ trait as well
- We utilize 5/1/1 (5 medium, 1 heavy, 1 light) to level all armor types
- Duel wield or 2 hand for front bar
- Bow on the back bar for movement speed and aoe damage
- All stamina glyphs
- The higher the quality gear the more experience you can obtain
Best Option | 2nd Option | 3rd Option | |
Monster Set x2 | Grothdarr | Iceheart | Velidreth |
Experience Set x5 | Heartland Conqueror | ||
Damage Set x5 | Plaguebreak | Vicious Serpent | New Moon Acolyte |
Skills
Front Bar
Front Bar: Biting Jabs, Reverse Slice, Resolving Vigor, Toppling Charge, Camouflaged Hunter, Empowering Sweep
Back Bar
Back Bar: Restoring Focus, Repentance, Razor Caltrops, Race Against Time, Endless Hail, Solar Prison
Duel Wield: You an easily swap to duel wield instead of 2 hand by swapping out Reverse Slice for Whirling Blades
No ESO Plus: If you do no use ESO+ Charging Maneuver (rapids) can replace Race Against Time
Rotation
Buff Rotation: Begin by bow light attacking all the mobs you want to group up. Casting Race Against Time will give us minor force for 12 seconds as well as a boost in movement speed. Repentance will restore stamina after killing mobs. Restoring Focus will restore stamina when standing in it. Resolving Vigor if you lose too much health.
Damage Rotation: First we place our DoTs, Endless Hail and Razor Caltrops. Close the gap if needed with Toppling Charge. Biting Jabs spam the mobs and cast ultimate Empowering Sweep whenever it comes up. Reverse Slice when enemies are below 30% health.
