Elder Scrolls Online: Basic Dragonknight Build

A basic low level Dragonknight build.

Like my Nightblade guide, this is just going to be my preference. I’m building a hybrid DPS/tank on my Dragonknight, so I’ve set a few ways to hold a monster in place once I pull it in. My current weapon line is two-handed, but will add in a sword and shield alternative at 15. This guide only covers the two-handed side.

Primary Skills:

I’m listing these in the order that I have them set, not in the order obtained.

  • Extended Chains – The morphed version of Fiery Grip that grants increased range. Deals fire damage and pulls target enemy to you.
  • Stonefist – Deals physical damage and knocks down enemy for 3 seconds.
  • Spiked Armor – Increases armor and reflects physical damage back to enemies.
  • Cleave – Deals physical damage to all enemies in front of you and inflicts bleed for 10 seconds.
  • Dragon Talons – Immobilizes nearby enemies and deals physical damage. Nearby allies can use the Impale synergy ability to deal damage to enemies caught in dragon Talons.
Ultimate:

I’ve taken the Ultimate that best synergizes with this build.

  • Dragon Leap – Deals physical damage and knocks back effected enemies.

This is a build I’ve used since Beta, I’ve had a lot of success with it. If there is a build that you’ve had  a lot of success with please leave it in the comments below. For more guides, be sure to take a look at the ESO team directory.
