Fighters Guild

Dawnbreaker has long been a top-pick Ultimate Ability for Stamina DPS, and it’s not hard to see why. This cone area of effect follows a heavy burst of Physical Damage with a powerful damage-over-time effect. It has decent range, a relatively low cost, and a particularly popular morph that grants a Passive Weapon Damage bonus.

Flawless Dawnbreaker

Increases your Weapon Damage by 5%.

Dawnbreaker of Smiting

Deals increased damage and knocks down affected enemies.

Silver Bolts is a long-range attack that features a nice Snare effect. It’s a great option for Stamina builds that don’t utilize Bow skills.

Silver Shards

Deals less damage, but hits up to five additional enemies.

Silver Leash

Deals more damage. Can be activated a second time to pull yourself to the target.

Circle of Protection is an area-of-effect buff that grants you and nearby allies Minor Protection and Minor Endurance, reducing your damage taken by 8% and increasing your Stamina Recovery by 10%.

Circle of Protection affects a relatively small area—and it carries a considerable activation cost—but it’s a nice group-support option for Stamina-heavy builds.

Turn Undead

Fears Undead, Werewolves, and Daedra when activated. Increases the duration of the effect.

Ring of Preservation

Reduces Stamina cost of Dodge Roll for allies within the ring.

Activating Expert Hunter reveals any stealthed or invisible enemies within six meters. Exposed enemies cannot return to stealth or invisibility for three seconds. While this ability is slotted, you also receive Major Savagery, increasing your Weapon Critical rating by 2191.

Expert Hunter is a great tool in PvP, but its slotted bonus makes it useful in any situation. Take special note of the Camouflaged Hunter morph—it’s popular choice players who favor sneak attacks.

Evil Hunter

While active, the effect also reduces the Stamina cost of Fighters Guild abilities.

Camouflaged Hunter

Critical hits while crouched grant Minor Berserk, temporarily increasing attack damage by 8%.

Trap Beast places a trap on the ground, damaging and immobilizing the first enemy to step onto it. It also grants you Minor Force, temporarily increasing your Critical Damage done by 10%.

While the damage-over-time effect is nice, Trap Beast is a great utility skill. It takes a while for the trap to arm, but it can be very effective in crowded areas.

Rearming Trap

The trap resets once after being triggered.

Lightweight Beast Trap

The trap can be placed up to 28 meters away.
