Stamina Warden Solo Build - ESO U50 PTS Guide

Every Animal Companions ability on your bar will trigger the Advanced Species passive, increasing your Critical Damage by 5% each

• Wield Soul (Bleed, Druid's Resurgence, Resolve) - a spammable which will restore 600 Stamina and Magicka with each cast which is crucial for sustaining with a Warden. It's also our source of Major Resolve, increasing armor by 5948.
• Deep Fissure - deals a lot of damage per cast and applies crucial Major and Minor Breach debuffs.
• Bull Netch - provides a lot of Stamina sustain, a 5% damage boost and constantly purges debuffs.
• Arctic Blast - a 20 second DoT around you which will deal a lot of damage by proccing the Chilled status effect. It can also be used as a self-heal if there are no enemies around you.
• Soul Burst (Bleed, Lingering Torment, Resolve) - an AoE DoT that grants you Minor Resolve, increasing your armor by 2974. This is your AoE spammable.
• Wild Guardian - only front-barred for the 5% Critical Damage bonus from Advanced Species. Don't summon it and don't spend Ultimate on it.
• Lotus Blossom - provides Major Savagery and Prophecy plus some passive healing whenever you Light or Heavy Attack. This healing also triggers the Nature's Gift passive.
• Winter's Revenge - a ground DoT that deals massive damage when you count in the Chilled procs, triggered thanks to this skill's increased innate chance to proc status effects.
• Elemental Susceptibility - an extremely strong ability that is free to cast, applies Major Breach and keeps applying Burning, Chilled and Concussed over time. Concussed adds Minor Vulnerability, Chilled adds Minor Maim, and Chilled from your Ice Staff bar also adds Minor Brittle.
• Elemental Blockade - constantly applies your Weapon Damage enchantment and keeps applying Minor Breach to enemies who are Chilled.
• Ulfsild's Contingency (Frost, Lingering Torment, Force) - deals damage in an AoE, applies a 22 second DoT and grants you Minor Force, increasing your Critical Damage by 10%. It is delayed until the next ability, but you can trigger it early by bashing your enemy.
• Northern Storm - a powerful ultimate that deals damage in an AoE, increases your damage done and grants you Major Protection, reducing your damage taken by 10%.

Winter's Revenge and Arctic Blast are the first skills that have to go if you need to slot situational, in that order, 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. Replaces Soul Burst since both apply Minor Resolve.
• Living Trellis - a healing ability you can spam under big pressure, also good for fights where you're getting hit very frequently
• 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
• Ulfsild's Contingency (Frost, Gladiator's Tenacity, Force) - a different script combination which trades the DoT from Lingering Torment for the mitigation from Gladiator's Tenacity. Use it in fights where you need more damage mitigation.
• 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
