Stamina Necromancer Solo Build - ESO U50 PTS Guide

All frontbar skills are from the Grave Lord skill line to boost Corpseburster.

• Detonating Siphon - an ability that consumes a corpse to form a tether between it and you, which deals damage over 20 seconds and grants you Major Savagery and Prophecy. When the ability ends or is reactivated the corpse explodes dealing additional damage. Use it whenever there's a corpse available to trigger Corpseburster
• Grave Lord's Sacrifice - an ability that summons a skeleton that will charge at you after 2.5 seconds, creating a corpse and granting you a 20 second buff that increases your damage done with Necromancer abilities and DoTs by 15%. It will also cause your empowered Venom Skull casts to generate a corpse
• Venom Skull - a spammable that will deal more damage every 3rd Necromancer ability cast and thanks to Grave Lord's Sacrifice this empowered cast will also create a corpse
• Avid Boneyard - a ground DoT that applies Minor Vulnerability to all enemies inside of it, increasing their damage taken by 5%. It also grants you the Grave Robber synergy which you can use yourself. It can consume a corpse to deal more damage, which will also proc Corpseburster
• Skeletal Archer - an ability that summons an archer to attack your enemies, grants you Major Brutality and Sorcery for 20 seconds, which increase your Weapon and Spell Damage by 20%, and triggers the Undead Confederate passive. It creates a corpse when it expires.
• Pestilent Colossus - an ultimate that we won't be using, but we'll keep it slotted on our frontbar to boost Corpseburster
• Summoner's Armor - an ability that will grant you Major and Minor Resolve, increasing your armor by 8922, and reduces the cost of your Grave Lord's Sacrifice and Skeletal Archer by 15%. It also triggers the Disdain Harm passive, which reduces your damage taken from DoTs by 15%. It will also create a corpse when it expires
• Spirit Guardian - an ability that will summon a wraith that reduces your damage taken by 10%, heals you every 2 seconds and triggers the Undead Confederate passive. It will also create a corpse when it expires
• Elemental Susceptibility - an extremely strong ability that does a multitude of things. It's completely free to cast so it'll help you sustain. It applies Major Breach, which reduces enemies' armor by 5948 which is a massive damage increase. It also applies Burning, Chilled and Concussed status effects at the beginning and then every 7.5 seconds. All of these Status Effects deal decent damage, but Concussed will also apply Minor Vulnerability for 4 seconds, increasing enemies' damage taken by 5%. Chilled will also apply Minor Maim for 4 seconds, reducing enemies' damage done by 5%
• Elemental Blockade - this ability will constantly apply your Weapon Damage enchantment
• 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%
• Shooting Star - a 185 Ultimate cost AoE that leaves a ground DoT and grants you Ultimate for each enemy hit with the initial blast, up to 6 enemies. Use it when available, especially in AoE fights or when you start a fight with a lot of Ultimate stored up

Avid Boneyard is the first skill that has to go if you need to slot something situational and can give up damage. If you need to keep Avid Boneyard, replace Spirit Guardian instead if you can give up survivability, unless the situational skill specifically says it's replacing something else.

• Resolving Vigor - use it for fights where there's a lot of damage happening in a short burst. The HoT from Resolving Vigor is short but very strong, so casting it at the right time can help you survive such mechanics
• Silver Leash - a chain ability that you can slot in trash packs to stack enemies and get through them faster
• Razor Caltrops - a source of AoE Major Breach which can be used instead of Elemental Susceptibility in AoE fights
• Revealing Flare - slot it for more difficult fights where you need more damage mitigation. It's a skill that passively grants Major Protection, reducing your damage taken by 10%. It will also trigger the Magicka Aid passive, which increases Magicka Recovery by 10%
• Precognition - an ultimate that breaks you out of some otherwise unavoidable stuns, you'll need it to get around some mechanics which are otherwise impossible or very difficult to solo, like for example Inferno's Hold in Zaan the Scalecaller fight
