64 points into Stamina, an explanation… and a correction. With the hybridization changes we can now choose independently to stack either max mag or stam, weapon or spell crit, and weapon or spell damage, and the game will automatically choose the highest one. Meaning you could in theory stack weapon critical, spell damage, and either max mag or stam. So for this build since Bound armaments increases our max stam, and relequen gives max stam (which converts to the equivalent of weapon and spell damage at a 10:1 ratio), I decided to go with max stamina for maximum damage. And since we are constantly heavy attacking we do t need a large magicka pool. Hope that clears things up for everyone. Oh, and I accidentally say max magicka food as an option, I meant max stamina food.
@@Nightharrow Using deadly instead of relequin should I still dump my points into stamina? Does it make a difference dps wise? I have copied your build and am parsing and I am getting underwhelming results around 30k. I am new to eso but from what i gather am not reaching anywhere near your numbers. I saw you recommended deadly now so i have that set
You’re probably not parsing on the 21mil dummy. Typically it is used as it gives you a bunch of group buffs so as to normalize the data. Stam is typically best on these heavy attack builds as you always have full mag, so max doesn’t really matter, and more stam allows for more blocking and roll dodging.
Hi Mr.NightHarrow! I've been actively using this setup since High Isle. Blockade -> Great Prey or Curse -> Great Crystal Frags or Weapon -> Great It usually changes for me the last two slots depending on what im doing. For Sturdy Content -> Hardened Ward + Clannfear (good taunt and heals) For Arenas -> Streak + Critical Surge or Clannfear I think the day i discovered that when Both Sergents & Relequin were sets that ramped up damage overtime was i needed to know that it was the correct combination for me. Thank for your hard work! And its a great way to stay in shape 💖
Thanks Koalas! ❤️ 🐨 I did almost put crit surge as an option but decided to keep this one simple and cover the rest in more of a deep dive. Maybe I’ll add it for next time.
I've been using a One-bar Oakensorc build. I have made it past Arc 3, but ended up dying to half-way through that. I use both Sergeants and Deadly. Before this run, my imp was often dying to trash during Arc 3, so I now use Deadric Minefield along with Razor Caltrops. These two skills give me aoe dmg, a snare, and an immobilize, and major breach. I just continue to funnel mobs through this. I also use Deadric Prey, but have been trying to think of doing something else, maybe Wall of Elements or Mystic Orb. My 4th and 5th slot are Crit surge and Twiglight for heals, though I may use a shield in the future. My ultimates swap between Suppression Field (negate) for mobs and Barrier for bosses. Suppression has been pretty remarkable after you group up mobs with Caltrops and minefield. I am still on the fence about using other sets. I've considered Azureblight over Deadly for mobs. I'm just not sure what's best yet. But mainly, I just don't know if I have the time to keep going past Arc 4. If they let us save, then I'd be more willing.
Thanks for all the info butter! Yeah, I’m hearing past arc 3 pets are useless. I think that’s father than most people get but still. You could also try vamp ult if that’s something you are into. I know blocking tanks damage as well in later rounds.
Oh, I wanted to mention that there is a potion that gives you health, and both physical and spell armor. It's like 5-6k extra resistances that is separate from Major Resolve. I don't have access my game right now so can't tell you what the ingredients are. But it's a viable option. For example, if you need stam, you could slot the 1500 on kill stam return cp rather than the armor cp that only offers 1700 resist.@@Nightharrow
@@Buttermeow1 totally, good looking out. I was going to mention this for the endless archive video coming up but it probably would be useful for these heavy attack builds, so thank you!
If I want to avoid pets, the scamp is fine hes cute :D. But that damn harpy cant stand it. Would this still work without it? If so what would you replace it with? (Solo) btw
I'm pretty sure its a mistake on his part, because he also recommended +max magicka food. Unless he meant to say stamina food. I'm just as confused. 🤣 Edit: It could also be for the lightning staff heavy attack damage itself? Maybe its scales off of stamina better than mag.
Not sure about the food thing, but this is common for maximizing the heavy attack build. You don't really need mag because heavies return it. So stacking stam means not only getting the best out of medium armor sets, which are better for overall dps even on these builds, but also you have a ton of stam for hurricane/trap and core combat resource for dodging, blocking, etc. It's incredibly safe and has the same or possibly better damage potential. Maybe he has a different reason too, but that's why a lot of people did it- until arc came out lol
Skills in ESO scale from your highest resource. Bound armaments increases your stam by 8%. So even if your skills cost mag, they’ll scale from your max stam. In a HA build you restore tons of resources from channeling, so you dont need to worry about having a low mag pool. So go stam glyphs and max stam food on everything
Yeah, it’s not as good, and our atro gives us berserk with the synergy. Deadly and rele give a 15% damage increase, and berserk is only 10%. It’s not bad though.
Hey Nightharrow! i seem to not be able to reach the 90k - i rebuild the setup as good as i could, the only difference i have is that i have one more heavy piece on the body then this setup. I will correct it as soon as i can. But i doubt its the only reason why i cant seem to make it to a consistent 90k ? do you have any idea what i might do wrong ?
I noticed recently a lot of people starting to pair Sergeant's with Deadly Strike. Does the lightning heavy even count as a channeled ability? Do the pets count as damage over time? How does it stack up against the other options (Rele/Noble/Storm Master)? I know I could just test it myself, but I'm transmute poor. :( A friend also uses the Undaunted Infiltrator set, any thoughts on that one?
So what I hear is that last patch they changed the last tick of the heavy to count as a channel, so deadly does buff that. I’ve seen a parse (after I made this video unfortunately) where it performed just as well as rele because of this. I had tested it but hadn’t seen it perform as well, but it appears I may have let my food drop off or something. Or bad crit I didn’t notice as it does largely seem to perform as well as rele with Oakensoul equipped. You would still want rele for a no Oakensoul build for the minor slayer buff. As for the pets, I havnt confirmed what gets buff and what doesn’t so I would just be telling you what I think the expected behavior is and with eso that’s often not what’s really going on. Undaunted infiltrator works similarly to many of the other HA sets. I haven’t tested them all in the last couple of patches but most perform about the same, several k Dps lower than what I recommend but most within 5k. Like there is a laundry list of then that all do the same or similar damage. Long message, but I hope I answered all your questions. :)
@@Nightharrow Thanks for explaining the Deadly Strike interaction. Also did expect the answer that the Undaunted/other HA sets were close, but definitely lower damage output.
Hi, i use a 1 bar heavy attack build consistently (with adhd i find it hard to remember the back bar), I struggle to get up to 90k dps on parse or more, is there anything i can do to aid it? Currently running sarge/oaken/storm master/mag build. Also what enchant is on the jewelry it just says multi effect?? Thank you for this build as well 🤘
I would recommend coming by the discord for parse help. A video if on console or your cmx would be best. I would recommend trying either deadly or rele instead of storm. Will gain a few k. Jewelry enchants are just weapon or spell power. They register as multi enchants now since they give a tiny bit of recovery.
Thank you I will re download discord, im on ps5, I did figure it out with the enchant in the end 😂, Im trying rele instead of storm now…it is definately hitting harder. Storm used to be good but was nerfed like most things 😢
I would run a bit of each so you can level each skill line. I believe you have to put on a couple pieces and get some xp to unlock them. So just kill a random mob. Then they should level normally even with just one piece on.
@@Nightharrow not bad actually. Better than the old oaken setup. It is amazing on trash pulls and bosses that like to stay put. Archdruid is surprisingly decent, as well as Thunder Caller. I swap to master's lightning staff on certain boss fights that move around a lot. This was solo also.
You get all the buffs you need from the oakensoul ring so you can use whatever you want. Basic health or basic stamina for more roll dodges. For survivability I would recommend resistance potions. en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Increase_Armor
Up to you really. High elf will be best if you want to swap to magicka, not sure about orc right now, khajit is probably fine but you want to swap cp so you are not over crit damage cap. I think single target cp and direct damage or channeled. Not sure which will be best on the later.
@@Nightharrow I have my build set up 100% exactly like yours. Wouldn't an Orc be better than a High Elf because you get the increase in stamina & 250 weapon/spell damage where the High Elf gets an increase in Magicka & 250 weapon/spell damage?
@@ACamaroGuy yeah, typo, I mean magicka. So you would expect about a 5% dmg decrease if you went high elf bust stayed stamina. Orc should be good, I just didn’t want to speak to firmly as I haven’t checked their racial passives in a long times and sometimes they change.
@@Nightharrow So the Orc passives are, Brawny - increases your max stamina by 1k. Unflinching Rage - increases your max health by 1k & when you deal damage, you heal for 2338 health. This can occur once every 4 seconds. Swift Warrior - increases your weapon/spell damage by 258. Reduces the cost of sprint by 12% & increases the movement speed bonus of Sprint by 10%
So similar to my Sorc build used for all of my vMA and vVH runs. I switch between pet and non-pet a lot. Going to have to evaluate all my builds when I get back to game anyway.
Okay. I can’t comprehend why use all this stamina when I thought mag is where we get our damage? I am just really confused and would LOVE, to be informed. I truly am lost on why. I am running this set for the most part and hitting 60k my max mag is 19.5 my stam is 25. Please help me if you read this
@@Nightharrow so that helped a ton. I’m just a bit confused. I see you in your parse you were using crystal frag and more mag than stam. I guess that’s what’s confusing me
@@Heretobehere When you heavy attack you get back magicka, so you cant really run out on a heavy attack build. Another of the reason it makes sense (if being quite weird) to stack stam. Lets you block and rolldodge more when you need to.
@@Nightharrow hey, since the last we talked I have been struggling with the final boss on vet vateshran hollows. I’ve been trying for a while. I have the gear. The cp is capped at 1k (my level) and I just can’t seem to beat it. I get to last phase and they melt me. I keep ads off but they come back so fast for me. If you have any suggestions. Please help me.
@Heretobehere this would be a great question to bring to the discord. We have help channels there and it’s much easier to have a conversation. And perhaps most importantly, there are people there that know that fight intimately, who can tell you just what to do (I have ran it, but don’t have it memorized like I do much of the group content). You can find the discord link at nightharrow.com or in my channel description.
Haha I wouldn’t necessarily disagree but this isn’t a meta setup. Just a good accessibility build that can work well in all content. I tried to optimize for trials a but more than the others for Nonis sake, but unless you are getting sweaty in the archive I think it works. Where you looking for something more max damage? I dot. Have a full sorc build out yet but there are other classes on the channel.
Most of the builds posted on youtube are sooo solo centric, it's hard to push dps with those setups. Even in overland content I am playing with at least one friend and all of this healing or the defense skills are so useless or reduntant. I wish more creators made Co-Op centric builds. This is MMO... I am so glad I saw this vid. Everything is explained step by step. Deserves a sub for sure.
I honestly think it’s because the community is so solo centric. Kind of crazy tbh. But seems like most of the people playing eso would rather be playing scrolls 6
@@krat0s178 Heavy attack CP is a must. After that it's not that big of a deal tbh, I would go with exploiter second though. Then it really doesnt matter.
Yep, 100%. I recommend deadly & sergeants mail now though for gear. When pared they are just as good as rele which I recommend in the video, but provides more air damage.
100% it was a mistake on my part. I tried to add a pinned comment correcting it but I need to re-record. Also Deadly is better than Rele now, there was a recent patch change.
Thanks Nightharrow. I was wondering if you could pin your comment about staking into Stam? I went looking to see if it had been brought up, and I think it should be at the top.
My friend brought this one in the EA and it was super good up to the final boss at arc 2 where the pets just died 2 seconds in and the dps went down a lot. Not much that can be done about that regardless the set-up
A bit late reply but pets start dying on 3rd arc boss and to 4th arc mobs. SOmetimes even to earlier bosses if they catch some nasty aoe. On bosses its mostly aoe but on trash it can be regular attacks, you really can't do a lot there even if you spam ward. I found that from 4th arc you just replace them because they die in like 2 hits. I usually do hurricane-trap-ward-surge-armor for EA. @@Nightharrow
I am curious as to how and what I am missing/doing wrong. I know I am still missing gear (currently in only purple Sergeant's with all gold max stam enchants), still need my lightning staff, jewelry and a second "set" mixed in, but still, unless I am reading something wrong, I am only hitting 12kish DPS.
@@Zerbious Nightharrow also just put out a video on how to read CMX. I would take a look at that, it will let you know if you are reading things correctly. As for a 2nd 5pc set, Orders Wrath is great to start with. Its craftable, only takes 3 traits, is the best craftable DPS set in the game (and is good in general), and can be bought from guild traders. I remember when I was starting out I had a lot of trouble getting things setup right, and even parsing correctly. So don't get discouraged! And, after you check that stuff out, if you still have trouble, please respond here, I will try to help if I can.
I appreciate the feedback, I was actually working on swapping in Order's Wrath today. I had it already from my previous build, but atm it's dependent on me finally getting the sergeant's staff to make the parts work properly, that thing has been very elusive. @@Chef42
Hey Maiqtheliar, I believe you despite the name. Lol. Thanks for dropping a comment. That’s probably crit farmed and I can assure you this build will definitely do more. I parsed 70k with his lazy sorc with better than average crit and I believe that’s what he says it does. Just double checked, he states 75k-80k. Hard to know for sure since he doesn’t show a parse. But I would say try it out and let me know for sure. If more dmg is something you’re after.
Yeah, I should have said more about that, they are fine for the first few arcs though. I’ll make sure to do so when I do the in depth video. Thanks for looking out, and please always feel free to let me know when I make mistakes like that, it is very much appreciated.
I found that out the hard way, made it to the 4th arc and I was struggling to keep the bird up, went to heal myself with it only to find out it was dead and started the channel to summon it and that was the end of my arc 4 😂
@Papakakadu why? Because people with 2bars can't make a nice rotation? Every player with nice rotation will do mutch more DPS then HA. Any player, any class, in any place. You asking for nerf one build, because bad players!? If they are bad in 2bars, then use HA, or be better with 2bars and rotation. Why you need nerf HA?

@@krat0s178 Heavy attack CP is a must. After that it's not that big of a deal tbh, I would go with exploiter second though. Then it really doesnt matter.
Is this still viable
Yep, 100%. I recommend deadly & sergeants mail now though for gear. When pared they are just as good as rele which I recommend in the video, but provides more air damage.
@@Nightharrow oooo really
@@Nightharrow Now this info is gold for me. Thanks allot.
Very good build
Thanks!
You said use Max Magicka food but you have us putting stamina on gear, shouldn't we use stamina food then
100% it was a mistake on my part. I tried to add a pinned comment correcting it but I need to re-record. Also Deadly is better than Rele now, there was a recent patch change.
Hello! Can you try making a no weapon build? 😊 🦎
Or a no armor build (just weapons and jewelry)
You are a weapon Motherclucker, and that’s something I can’t change, so I’m afraid I can’t help… (im brainstorming on the argonian video btw lol)
Thanks Nightharrow. I was wondering if you could pin your comment about staking into Stam? I went looking to see if it had been brought up, and I think it should be at the top.
Thanks Chef, I actually did but I guess it didn’t take. Appreciate it man.
64 in Stamina?
Yep, our bound armaments gives us an extra 8% stamina and relequen is a stamina set, so this gives us the most damage.
All in stam, zero def, and pets. More than A4 will be miracle.
My friend brought this one in the EA and it was super good up to the final boss at arc 2 where the pets just died 2 seconds in and the dps went down a lot. Not much that can be done about that regardless the set-up
That’s annoying. Did the aoes just keep killing as fast as they could spawn?
A bit late reply but pets start dying on 3rd arc boss and to 4th arc mobs. SOmetimes even to earlier bosses if they catch some nasty aoe. On bosses its mostly aoe but on trash it can be regular attacks, you really can't do a lot there even if you spam ward. I found that from 4th arc you just replace them because they die in like 2 hits. I usually do hurricane-trap-ward-surge-armor for EA. @@Nightharrow
Sounds like any stamina race will do better than high elf..
Yes, that’s correct. Though you could go with a high elf if you wanted to. You would just want to swap everything over to magicka.
Just respecced to try this. Hit 82k with a non optimal gear setup. I could see myself getting very close to 90k with Rele. Nice build Nightharrow!!
Thanks chef!
I am curious as to how and what I am missing/doing wrong. I know I am still missing gear (currently in only purple Sergeant's with all gold max stam enchants), still need my lightning staff, jewelry and a second "set" mixed in, but still, unless I am reading something wrong, I am only hitting 12kish DPS.
@@Zerbious Nightharrow also just put out a video on how to read CMX. I would take a look at that, it will let you know if you are reading things correctly. As for a 2nd 5pc set, Orders Wrath is great to start with. Its craftable, only takes 3 traits, is the best craftable DPS set in the game (and is good in general), and can be bought from guild traders. I remember when I was starting out I had a lot of trouble getting things setup right, and even parsing correctly. So don't get discouraged! And, after you check that stuff out, if you still have trouble, please respond here, I will try to help if I can.
I appreciate the feedback, I was actually working on swapping in Order's Wrath today. I had it already from my previous build, but atm it's dependent on me finally getting the sergeant's staff to make the parts work properly, that thing has been very elusive. @@Chef42
90k dps is about the same as xynode lazy sorc. Not better but Its a nice sub tho
Hey Maiqtheliar,
I believe you despite the name. Lol. Thanks for dropping a comment. That’s probably crit farmed and I can assure you this build will definitely do more. I parsed 70k with his lazy sorc with better than average crit and I believe that’s what he says it does.
Just double checked, he states 75k-80k. Hard to know for sure since he doesn’t show a parse. But I would say try it out and let me know for sure. If more dmg is something you’re after.
pets in EA ? Big NO NO
Yeah, I should have said more about that, they are fine for the first few arcs though. I’ll make sure to do so when I do the in depth video. Thanks for looking out, and please always feel free to let me know when I make mistakes like that, it is very much appreciated.
Why can’t you use pets in EA?
@@ErnaMcburna die really fast after arc 2
@@ErnaMcburnaKeeping them alive becomes pretty challenging the further you go
I found that out the hard way, made it to the 4th arc and I was struggling to keep the bird up, went to heal myself with it only to find out it was dead and started the channel to summon it and that was the end of my arc 4 😂
Omg overpowered nerf please
But then it wouldn’t live up to its name… :(
@Papakakadu why? Because people with 2bars can't make a nice rotation? Every player with nice rotation will do mutch more DPS then HA. Any player, any class, in any place.
You asking for nerf one build, because bad players!? If they are bad in 2bars, then use HA, or be better with 2bars and rotation. Why you need nerf HA?
