- Hey Everyone!!! I hope you’ve been good because he’s made the list and he’s checked it twice, and if you were naughty this year you’ll be frozen in ICE!!
I’m Ho-Ho-Hoping you all will enjoy this one as much as I do! I’m pleased to present The Santa Claus Build!!
This build is INSANE as it is unfairly as powerful offensively as it is durable defensively. And you’ve never seen a build throw out so much CC to everything and everyone around like this one does. If you find yourself going up against this build you better be wearing your mythic “Snow Treaders” because if not, you’re done for.
Check out this full in-depth video guide on how to bring this build to life from Gear, Skills, and even CP Distribution. As well as some live, in action PvP!!

And as always, Thanks for watching!

Ok, you win ESO just for the intro alone.
Hahaha thank you Grady!! 🤣💯🙏
Best ESO Intro of all time. Great job
Thank you Jette!! That’s too kind, truly! 🙏
I saw many ppl say that, but the intro is best of all time, and your house is pretty amazing, thank you to sharing us, Merry Christmas you too.
Thank you and Merry Christmas to you as well!
Definitely more impressive than this year's chapter! Insane intro! 🔥🏆
I actually cracked up at this! 🤣💯
Fantastic creativity, intro was the best
Thanks!! We’re almost in that season again! 💯
Hey man just wanted to say your channel is really underrated, been loving the builds, they are all so unique and love the RP elements ! I was looking for a pure Ice warden to get back into Eso and will definitely use this !😁 Thanks a lot
Thank you for the kind words and your support! It means a lot! 🙏
I've been watching some of your videos cuz I always enjoy them Ms Windows made me want to try something new or I switched out frostbite for frozen water and throw on the blood Lords embrace with a front bar Frozen Watcher staff and a back bar winterbourne staff likely on a Breton do possibly also on a Nord with the idea being that you just Perma block with full sturdy traits letting all the Slowdown and damage over time do its thing on its own probably with the one skill that possibly gives you minor berserk to kind of make up for not having frostbite at least a bit. Honestly I imagine it probably will be pretty fun build I'll get back to you on how well it goes
You always have the best intentions intros! This one had me in stitches!
I’m glad to hear it!! 🙏💯
The intro was amazing and fun to watch!!!
I must say, this is one of the best outfit I ever saw on this game. I wish I had a third warden so I can use it, it's amazing.
Haha thanks! 💯
Great intro and build, cant wait to give it a try. Have been running something similar and enjoying it, but this looks much better👍
I can’t figure out what my favorite part is… the insane build or running around with a belly full of jelly and going through the naughty list.

I’m so pleased at how this all turned out!! It looks awesome and it’s so hilarious to me that I could enter battlegrounds and get my a** handed to me by Santa. Merry Christmas!! 😂
By far the best eso intro I've seen 👏
Thank you! 🙏
Dear god man! What style armor is that! Looks like the real deal! Love it
Pimpin’ Santa! My Boy has all the moves, too! Even city guards flee from him. 😆
Seriously though, this build has the skills needed to dish out the damage, and the toughness necessary to take it.
Nice going, man! I look forward to taking this guy for a spin in BGs.
Take care.
Haha he sure does! Yeah honestly Tatewaki this has got to be one of my most powerful and impressive builds. Even I myself was surprised by it.
@@AreaofEffect I’ve made note of the time stamps and will be putting that up soon. I will also create the build on UESPWiki. I don’t have your gaming skills, and often have to tweak the attributes, gear traits and the glyphs to get things to work better for me. I usually need more heath/armour/resistances in order to stay in the fight longer.
@@TatewakiGaming You are the true #1!! And thanks for the feedback too! I like hearing that people are able to take the base builds that I put out and then tweak them a bit to fit their play style more comfortably!!
That intro is awesome 👌 👏 👍 Well done sir! 😁🤣 Had me laughing 😂
Thanks LoveHawk!! Love the name by the way! But yeah I had a lot of fun on the intro that’s for sure! 💯🙏
Best intros in the ESO community, builds are always very creative can't wait to see what you have in store for us next in this new year! Hope we get a new class sometime this year, any speculations as to what it may be?
Thank you for your support! And I would absolutely LOVE a new class. I’m not sure where to point my speculation… maybe something water and sea related? As far as classes go they’ve pretty much followed some basic elemental types so far. Sorcerer’s lightning, DK’s fire, Wardens ice, Templars light, Nightblades Darkness, and finally the Necromancers unique multi elemental set with conjuring and life stealing.
So, with where the last couple of DLC’s have gone, and what they’ve been about, including new water based sets that have come out with them, I speculate we will get some sort of water based class. That is, IF we even get a class at all.
Can't give a thumbs up until you share the outfit styles!!!!

Check it out! I was already on it! Enjoy! 🙏
You alone make eso great, intro is epic
Wow big compliment there. Thank you Chris!! 🙏
Impressive as usual, you never let me down. I want to go make a warden now lbvs.
That's my third comment... music is good to you've must of Took a long time to do this
Well done.
I am confused, can you please explain? You claim to be showcasing a frost build for warden, and yet thats not what i see here, what i see is a video thats pure god damn fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Your intro alone is worthy of 50 likes, the outfit is worth another 500, the attitude of your orc and his jolly no good shenanigans are worth another 5000, this video is not shared enough, the internet needs more of this orc
This lengthy comment had me absolutely rolling! 🤣🤣 Thank you Andrew! 🙏💯
Awesome build and video buddy
Thank you! 🙏
That DK was giving you a hard time... sick build
Sorry for late reply, but yes that’s Neumii and I get battled up against him often. He’s got a very strong DK build!
Yes! Yes!
Bro you the GOAT for this one! 🤣
Thanks!! 🤣🙏
Love the Santa into❤
Thanks! ❤️
It’s Christmas time everywhere.
Even in Elder Scrolls.
🤣🤣🤣 You show that guard who's boss!!
My favorite channel has done it again!! I actually think it would be a riot if Santa Claus whooped my butt in ESO. Perfect video. Awesome build. And wherever you filmed it is gorgeous. Is that your place?
Merry Christmas to you and yours as well. 😵👍💯👏
The Christmas Village was filmed at the home of BeluvedWolf on Xbox NA. It was specifically modified for me and my shots but has been remodeled back into the original Christmas Village that won contests last year!
I’ll be doing an honor video of the village here in a few days!
Very cool build
That introooo
💰🎅🏻💰
Really curious for an outfit breakdown. What's a build without the drip?
You’re in luck! I’ve already got it covered!

Cc is everything in pvp
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Fire intro
Hi great setup ,could i run winterborn jewelry and frostbite sword and board. Thanks for any help.
Thanks! Honestly that would be far too detrimental to your bonus damage overall! You don’t want frostbite to toggle on and off.
If Winterborn gear is the problem, you could easily sub in Hrothgar in its place. Easy to get Hrothgar and Frostbite both.
@@AreaofEffect Thank you for that and all the work you have done
Ggs again, x Blur savage x.
Yes sir! I believe you had 30+ kills that game. Also I’m not sure what the turnout was going to be on that 3 on 1 that I was in… I killed 1 and brought it down to a 2 on 1 but you may have saved me from a death there. That’s why I dropped the knee at the zone flag, as a possible thank you. 🙏
@@AreaofEffect I remember watching your health bar..and then ..shit..where's he at..rushed over and mages wrath..heavy attack..and maybe even a meteor..I was dropping meteors left and right that game
Does khajiit race for ice warden for only critical rating worth it because I am a 1 bar only ice skills with everything critical I just want to do lot of damage and with oak.
Yeah I think that would do just fine!!
Outfit skin please.
Awesome intro as always
Will be releasing guide video on everything “visual” today!
@@AreaofEffect thank you
My warden is Mrs. Claus!! Lol
Haha that’s amazing! 💯
Dude this intro was awesome. You missed the second most important part! What styles are you wearing? 😂
Love this comment because I’m putting out a little guide vid on how to make this with all visuals. 🤣
What’s the outfit u rocking?
Crafting Motif: Frostcaster and will be available during the New Life Festival in the crownstore.
Would work well for PVE after changing traits to Divine? Same skills and such?
Yes it would. VERY! Invest into more crit chance and crit damage and less into Stam/Stam recovery.
Would you consider the traits optimal or should we change them if we can? And to what
Good question! Very often my traits are not ALL optimal. This is due to the ever changing layout of each of my characters and optimization through farming or transmutes is very very costly and the farming slows down my build development progress. Especially when I work very hard to keep up with myself putting them out regularly!
So- ideally in PvP Impen is a good choice. Also Divines is a favorite because of the ability to alter your Mundus (Boon) and allows some malleability on the fly. But sometimes on a sword/board you might want Sturdy. Or on a very fast and mobile dodge rolly build you might want well fitted.
The only ones I really don’t like to use typically are invigorating, reinforced (on small pieces like belt & gloves), infused (on small glyph pieces like shoulders, belt, gloves, and boots), and obviously I hate Training. Avoid all of the above!
I hope this helps!!
@@AreaofEffect yeah I burned through transmute crystals so fast. I often find it easier to collect the complete set and just make the traits I want. However it's hard to get the complete sets in arenas because you need to do a ton of runs. (Speaking of the winterborn set in this case.)
What traits do you have on your jewelry?
On this one I had 2 Mag Recovery and 1 Spell Damage. Put us at 3k Magicka Recovery and over 5500 Spell damage.
Gotta pvp more with it
@AreaofEffect AOE: I've built my character off of this. Probably with more PVE (on glyphs for armor) in mind but I'm still not getting your numbers? What am I missing here? 38 sec I'm getting around 17-20k dps
Will it still work well if you reverse the sets?
It would still work fairly similarly. Also replacing Winterborn with Hrothgar would be a decent trade as well. That is, if it’s the Winterborn S&B you are having difficulty farming.
I know you professionally do music…. Did you mix these beats? If so, they are 🔥!
No not these!! Haha but I really appreciate the remembering of my own composer background!! Also- again thanks for the time stamps!
@@AreaofEffect My pleasure! I have been using my own product to help me scrub through the video transcribing the details. 😆
Seeing the traits and glyphs on all that kit was not easy! But I have done it.
Yo what can I use in replace of the ice staff? I don’t have it 😢
It makes a huge difference when it comes to the power on this build! Dragon star Arena on normal isn’t too bad! I urge you to try to get it! But if you cannot. You could use Maelstrom, or Potentate’s, or Willpower.
Yet and u get a sub just for intro ❤️❤️❤️❤️👏🔥🌲
My buddy and I are making this build. Super fun for the holidays! What would you change/swap given that we now have access to scribing skills?
I need to find out how to make this orc 😂

Look here! 💯
Where's the Santa build! Ho Ho :)
You should reupload this but make the intro longer and have no build info at all
Hahaha I love this idea 🤣🤣💯
I need this hat
Yes you do!!
I can't get the wb shield for the life of me
Good luck! I’ve been there before. The good thing is the game now has “fixed” drops so that you will have better chances of getting items you HAVENT got from drops yet, instead of constant duplicates.
Is this build still viable? 👀
YES! Very much so!
Dad?
Farming the winterborn shield sucks hard
Very very sucks. Lol
Hrothgar makes a good replacement if necessary!
I just dont see anyone stay snared at all. Everyone runs a snare immunity skill :/
Love seeing neumi die
Lmao why??? 🤣🤣
How is this in cyrodil
Annoying as fuck lol
@@call_me_day LMBO
Yet and u get a sub just for intro ❤️❤️❤️❤️👏🔥🌲
Thank you! 🙏
@@AreaofEffect what’s main combo
