Vampire DPS Build - ESO Guide

• Arterial Burst - a cheap and strong spammable that's guaranteed to apply the Hemorrhaging status effect
• Impale - an execute you should switch to when enemy is below 25% HP
• Relentless Focus - an ability that will cause your Light Attacks to generate stacks. You can spend 4 stacks to fire a powerful arrow that also heals you if you're in Melee range. It also grants you Major Savagery and Major Prophecy
• Shadowy Disguise - an ability that will increase your damage done by 15% for 10 seconds after being cast. It will also passively grant you Minor Protection which reduces your damage taken by 5%. It will also trigger the Shadow Barrier passive which grants Major Resolve , increasing armor by 5948. When timed correctly, you can use this ability to dodge heavy attacks
• Sap Essence - your AoE spammable. It also provides Major Brutality and Major Sorcery , but it won't matter most of the time because you'll get Major Sorcery from Spell Power Potions anyway, so it's only relevant when switching to Heroism potions . It's slotted so you have a skill to spam in AoE and to trigger Magicka Flood passive.
• Soul Harvest - a cheap ultimate that increases target's damage taken from you by 20%. Having it slotted will also cause you to regain 10 Ultimate whenever you deal a final blow against an enemy
• Dark Shade - an ability that deals constant AoE damage and applies Minor Maim , reducing enemies' damage done by 5%
• Barbed Trap - a DoT that will also apply Hemorrhage status effect at the start and grant you Minor Force buff, increasing your Critical Damage by 10%
• Carve - AoE attack which applies a 12 second DoT to all hit enemies which gets 10 seconds longer each time you refresh it, lasting up to 32 seconds on third cast. It also grants you a damage shield after casting it.
• Stampede - a gap closer which leaves a ground DoT under your target which will constantly proc your Weapon Damage enchantment and increase your Direct Damage done thanks to Merciless Charge set
• Blood Mist - a dash after which you gain an effect which deals damage around you every 2 seconds for 20 seconds and heals you for 45% of the damage caused. In order to smoothly weave it into your rotation, you have to aim it right in front of your feet and barswap right after casting it.
• Swarming Scion - an extremely expensive ultimate which grants you 10,000 of all Maximum Resources and deals damage around you for 20 seconds. You cannot generate any additional Ultimate while transformed.

Whenever you need to slot situational skills, replace Blood Mist unless stated otherwise

• Proximity Detonation - extremely good ability for trash packs, you can pre-buff it a few seconds before entering combat
• Trample (Disease, Cavalier's Charge, Heroism) - another extremely good ability for trash packs, you can cast it as you're running into them
• Ulfsild's Contingency (Flame, Lingering Torment, Force) - use this in Trash if you're not switching to Velothi Ur-Mage's Amulet for trash packs
• Whirling Blades - an execute spammable for trash packs. It costs Stamina but you only have to switch to it when enemies are low, so it's possible to sustain it
• Resolving Vigor - a self-heal you'll need for some fights
