Welcome to the Solo Stamina Dragonknight Build for Elder Scrolls Online.This build is optimized for solo play.

Resource Management
This setup has a lot of resource management options, some already directly built in via Stamina Recovery and some more options that you can use whenever you need it.

Stamina Recovery

Lava Foot Soup-and-Saltrice buff-food is key to our sustain. The buff-food gives you Max Stamina and Stamina Recovery, a lot of it. You have to make sure to use this specific buff-food. You can buy it in the guild stores for a very cheap price or craft it yourself, if you have the recipe.

The Battle Rush passive from the Two Handed skill-line gives you another 30% Stamina Recovery for 10 seconds while you have a Two Handed weapon slotted.

Potions are another very important part of resource management. We are preferably using Essence of Weapon Crit potions to gain another 20% Stamina Recovery boost, 10% Weapon Critical and a Health boost. This both increases our sustain and also damage, I highly recommend using these potions. The ingredients are listed in the potion section of the build.

Passives

Dragonknights have a few very unique passives that help them with sustain.

The passive World in Ruin helps reduce the cost of our poison abilities, such as Venomous Claw or Noxious Breath.

The passive Battle Roar gives us a big boost in resources every time we activate an Ultimate.

The passive Helping Hands returns resources every time we activate Molten Armaments.

The passive Combustion returns stamina whenever the poison status effect procs from stuff like Venomous Claw, Noxious Breath or Poisons.

Rotation

1. Brawler is your survival skill, every time you hit one or several enemies you will gain a shield.

2. Echoing Vigor is your main healing ability that lasts 10 seconds alongside Cauterize which also functions as a burst heal if needed.

3. Keep up your most important skills Cauterize, Volatile Armor and Molten Armaments.

4. Keep up all your DoTs on the enemy like Endless Hail, Consuming Trap and Venomous Claw.

5. Once that is taken care of, you want to use your spammables on the front bar Noxious Breath and Reverse Slice.

Heavy Attacking is a good option on this build because your Heavy Attacks get boosted by the Molten Armaments skill.

Things you may be doing wrong.

1. Not keeping up your healing abilities such as Cauterize and defense abilities such as Volatile Armor is the main reason why you die on this setup.

2. Not keeping up your damage over time effects on the backbar will result in a huge loss in overall damage.

3. Not using Brawler enough to bolster your health with the huge shield that the skill gives. Always before you swap to the backbar you should use Brawler first to gain a shield that will help you while you are on the backbar.

4. Not using the right buff-food will also result in sustain issues.

This build was based off the solo Dragonknight build of ALCASTHQ.

I did change it up a little and made it my own.
