Alternate Gear, Skills, All Passives and CP Breakdown for 300, 600, 900 and 1200 CP is in the Written Guide! www.hacktheminotaur.com/builds/eso-one-bar-heavy-attack-magicka-warden-build

[@trevorbelmont3692]

Seriously why are their fighters guild passives that can't activate in this build I don't understand

[@TempoGaming17]

Is this the best build for warden one bar damage dealer ??? Or just the easiest ???

[@bigcbmc2984]

@@TempoGaming17 there’s a one bar bleed with blood drinkers and pillar of nirn. Hits 98k

[@Songlark_]

Hey Hack - are there good scribing skills we can add to this build?

[@Magical_Monk]

I'm an older gamer and have quite a bit of arthritis in my hands. I used to main a Necromancer, but the constant bar swapping and required speed to keep everything up was really killing me. I took my Warden healer and added this build in her armory station to see if it would work better for my poor hands. I have never felt more powerful, and my hands are so happy now. lol. I soloed a Harrowstorm last night! Holy cow! While that may not be a big deal for most end-game players, it was an amazing feeling for me. So, thank you for your great builds, Hack.

[@SOCOMJOHN]

same here brother with the arthritis! looking for an ez build that requires not much clicking. My hands/fingers are facked

[@jimbrown5518]

Absolutely, I'm turning 60 in a few months and the reduced key presses for his build makes a lot of difference, I can even do marathon sessions again (+6 Hours) Thanks for this build!

[@theflesh1072]

The bar swapping comes naturally

[@CAiNiAC]

​@@theflesh1072 It's not about learning it, it's about having pain in your hands 🤦

[@yumihaa1729]

I was looking for a build to resurect my warden and thank you so much cause as a solo player, it just roxx so much! Best easy build I've ever tried, thanks again and keep bringing so cool builds! 😝👍

[@osheadavis]

Hahah. I already have this build. After trying your bowzerker I thought a lightning staff version would be perfect, and decided to make a build. I was using Storm master for crit chance but now I will change that for Sergeant because of the update. Ive been liking this HA attack build along with the Nero.

[@genedonnasmithers2433]

Great Build, going to do this asap on my warden character,,Thanks

[@angelsolblade1800]

looks amazing will get this going and wow thank you for another amazing build

[@rejbagonoc1229]

Chiming in here, this build makes me feel so capable. Thank you!

[@rejbagonoc1229]

And I wanna add, I managed to solo the portal and simulacrum bosses in the sewer center of IC with this build.

[@dawngarner189]

I've been using a build similar to this for a few months. I run with Isobel as a tank and swap revealing flare with lotus so I can help keep her alive while she's on cooldown when I'm running solo dungeons. Was using fetcher infection instead of the cliff racer. And I love having all that health regen by leaving the bear ult full. The build is just so good...solo dungeons, world bosses, arenas...anything you want to do.

[@HackTheMinotaur]

Good tips! Lotus is great for group heals and keeping companions alive, plus it has a 1 minute duration!

[@dawngarner189]

@Cichy I use Lotus Blossom for the 60 sec duration...it's just one more thing I can activate and forget about for a while since it's just me and a companion doing everything and I already have a personal heal with Arctic Blast. The build won't break any records but it will keep you alive long enough to complete whatever it is you want to do.

[@WilliamWickjr]

What sets are you using

[@davery07]

Your videos always rock! Much thanks

[@Oldskoolraver-OG]

The wings predator morph would be good in some spots as it gives 10% less damage from area of attacks plus you get major expiditon if u press it.

[@TheRealChacorta]

Does the Bowserker warden still work? I almost finished that build yesterday but I used briarheart instead of Dagon’s cuz I’m on PlayStation and nobody plays anymore 😢

[@toasterproductions3733]

what about your sorcerer buikd from 5 months ago? Does that need to change?

[@agenttoast7825]

This build is OP, its silly. I finished making it tonight. Gna be my main toon. Thank you :)

[@wolfofodin1996]

Can you replace the revealing flair with a different skill only asking cuz the writing guide don't show alternatives

[@Nvy_Livius]

Why do you use a flame enchant for that build on your weapon, if i may?

[@5h4d3DUTCH355]

I run a similar build, but I use Noble Duelist and Seargent's Mail, for pugging dungeons and solo content, I may switch out Noble Duelist for Grave Inevitability due to more crit and Major Force

[@judsdragon]

another great build vid hack cheers for this o7

[@reddyhdblog]

Does it matter if I run this build with frost stuff instead of lightning one? :D

[@tobiasvoellger131]

Hi there, I really love your Content. It is a big help, since i am fairly new and a WoW getaway. I have a question. Is this build recommended for certain amount of CP or can I start grinding the Items with my 163 CP? Thx

[@RickeyTomato]

I’m new to eso does armor matter if so what would you recommend to wear

[@cocobunitacobuni8738]

Do you maybe have a video/advice on how to level into this build? I'm just starting ESO today for the first time. *edit I found the written guide which I think should guide me into which skills to level.

[@nextgen1]

I’m trying, because I have it. A set of pillar of nirn golded. And sergeants but the staff nirnhoned (may be bad spelling.) it’s interesting to see the interaction.

[@SmashBrosFreak56]

Nice Build. I love it. Maybe next Build is one bar necro :D?

[@trevorbelmont3692]

Why are fighters guild passive in this when you don't use anything that can activate the passives?

[@user-dv9jg2cg4k]

That is one badass looking warden

[@arunabhdubey5301]

any replacement for Oakensoul Ring?

[@shanefinch766]

Where in necrom to get the outfit?

[@avengers2k154]

How do you upgrade support?

[@erikjoyner7767]

Can this still be viable if you dont have the ring?

[@Montive_NoCopyrightBeats]

see nice but how much damage u can do with that?

[@pauloaeri]

does this work in the normal ESO? not the expansion of Necrom

[@Sirkento]

Thought was kinda cheesy using CP to get health recovery from ultimate but actually a beautiful synergy with that ultimate still providing a dot. Well done!

[@sadiehunt3970]

I made a warden just for the bear it's a beast

[@jekabro7435]

I would change order's wrath for storm master set. Deceptive Predator is a must, will save a lot. flies>bird. HA Warden is the best solopve build imo. It just do not die.

[@Oldskoolraver-OG]

Ive made my own mag warden pvp build with this ring this week just returned to game after 3 years , i thibk ill try this set up for pve as i need farm lot stuff

[@stacyakavalincroina1623]

Maybe off topic a little, but I could never figure why the lightning staff is the only staff that channels it's attack? I'd love to have my frost warden do a heavy attack build but waiting for the "wind up" sucks. Plus it'd look cool if ZOS had the frost and fire staff channel their respective element like the lightning staff does.

[@TeddyMcgiggles]

I'm sure it has to do something with wanting the staves to have a variety of attacks but in saying that ALL the other staves just pew pew so how is that varying attacks? Having the option to do either type of attack with every staff would be awesome!

[@xboxgamerz22]

Yea lighting staff is unfun

[@judsdragon]

the resto staff is also a channel of about 1.5s but yes having a passive that changes the attack from a single big hit to a channeled hit would be nice for frost and flame builds imo

[@xboxgamerz22]

@judsdragon I use it on templar as 1 bar because it fit well but wish it do more damage

[@individual116]

Just like Skyrim does

[@ZergrushEddie]

Is Lightning staff still the best slot given Warden’s get that +10% damage from Frost staves? A dungeon I can solo and crafted gear? Guess I know what I am doing this weekend!

[@mancitypj]

Thanks

[@bikramsidhu4082]

Dang, made it look so easy on that vateshran boss

[@ZackLin571]

If I have a wood elf and stacked into stam rather than mag would that yield more damage? Or should I just deal with being stam race and stack into mag regardless?

[@benzii9331]

If you want to min max, make a new character or do a race change. If not, specing into mag will be fine. The difference is minimal.

[@chance4197]

Dps parse with this?

[@STR8L8CED]

Wish Ice staff wasnt so slow...would love to keep the frost theme going.

[@umbrashadowmoon5685]

Is this build still reliable now or they changed it?

[@staticdice5958]

Just a question, wouldn't Back Alley Gourmet be better if we're using food buff anyway?

[@benzii9331]

Yes. Yes it would.

[@feroxana9919]

@HackTheMinotaur How viable is this build in EA in your opinion? Any changes you would recommend?

[@TheUzumakiGamer]

I run orders wrath and mothers sorrow and veteran VH is doable with mechanics :)

[@deangb7131]

I have the same build literally, but I run sharpned trait on my staff.

[@Chulofay]

Lol i thought the temp was crazy this build just nuts

[@KILLxBULLYx]

Sergeant and Knight slayer so beasty

[@Runic-Raven]

I am a bit unhappy with Arctic having only 6 meters range but Cliff racer requiring 7 meter distance Guess youll have to walk back and forth a lot.

[@ShaunMcGuile]

On your write up, you've repeated Noble Duellist Gear Set stats under Mother's Sorrow.

[@average9241]

Whats a good second bar? Like should I do healing staff or what :(

[@DarthCuddlefluff]

With Oakensoul there is no second bar.

[@Chef42]

I have a question, wouldn't Exploiter be more powerful than Fighting Finesse?

[@HackTheMinotaur]

You can try using it in place of Wrathful Strikes. The problem is that Off Balance only lasts for 7 seconds with a 15 second cooldown. So exploiter is only active 33% of the time whereas other stars are always active. I find it works best if you have a lot of burst damage you can pump out during that 7 second window like a Destruction staff ultimate, Necro ultimate, etc.

[@wrayk]

How does this build compare to the Oakensorc?

[@Titansdragon75]

Much much better aoe damage, higher pen in solo. Less single target damage.

[@sunridder215]

Yes, I like it!

[@ACamaroGuy]

What about Infallible Mage & Noble Dualist Silks? Will they be nerfed as well? Is the Kvatch Gladiator sets fifth piece bonus any good? Should we drop Storm Masters for Orders Wrath on our other HA builds?

[@benzii9331]

Just hop on the PTS and test it yourself. Or read and make up a decision from that.

[@ACamaroGuy]

@@benzii9331 I wish I could jump on the PTS, I'm console.

[@benzii9331]

@acamaroguy294 oh noooo 😭 well infallible mage and no le dualist are both great sets, especially for content outside of parsing. They never kept up with storm masters in organized content but now they probably will. It's hard to say if crit chance/dmg speccing is better or not without testing, but I'd assume that it would be for most content. As for kvatch gladiator, it could be a good set if you wanted to feel like you had an execute stage, but im fairly certain that the overall consistency of orders Wrath or Back ally Gourmand would out dps it in most encounters. Just my thoughts and opinions. But yes, all 3 sets would also work well. I don't think you'd notice a drastic difference with either. Might be smart to use all of them for situational use.

[@ACamaroGuy]

@@benzii9331 thank you. I appreciate your feedback.

[@Titansdragon75]

Noble duelist is stronger than any set when solo. In a group storm master still performs quite well. Source: im a pts tester.

[@The_Only_Mr_Bear]

I just got back into eso because i wanted to show someone all the mounts and skins that i had before i quit and i mained the Warden after someone who play tested it and said it couldnt do be viable for Endgame content and even maelstrom arena which made me wanna prove them wrong so i cleared all the old trails and even Vet Maelstrom with 14/15 lives and this just made it even better as i never liked the having to keep up 5-7 to maximize damage while this build just eats things 67k-70k crits is ridiculous. Doesnt compair to a 501k crit on the bear ult but still

[@BattleCircleGaming]

Has anyone tested this and knows what is the highest DPS we can achieve with it on the trial dummy?

[@MikeBotGaming]

Anywhere between 65K-70K on my target Atro. Depends how well u do the rotations. But i didnt use the off balance thingy. So might be 65-75K. Dunno how i feel about the cliff diver as single target kinda sucks. Still think the wall would be better in most situation except when ur melting down a boss being held at bay by a tank

[@user-pr6mm5zl7o]

​@@MikeBotGaming I don't like cliff diver either, what was your rotation and warfare slotables? If you don't mind saying so

[@MikeBotGaming]

@@user-pr6mm5zl7o Ive been grinding vMA with his build including the diver and i do recommend u use it cause u will do a ton more damage if you start every fight with it. My champ pts are copied from him. Ive managed to get the vMA no-death with this build so im satisfied with the 70K ish dmg. Its not a high end build anyway and a sorc would do a better job with a one-bar build. U can basicly fake tank any normal dung and alot of vet dungs with this build as well tbh 😂. Ive done normal scriv hall solo with it to test it out. Im also by no means a good DD as ive been a tank main since release and only just got a DD when i saw this build for easier daily content clearance. But id say its a rly user friendly build with a ton of self sustain which compensates for doing a bit less dmg imo. The only skill ive changed is the support skill hes using, im using the flies instead as i like the extra dmg on cast and extra crit on the passive for just being slotted. The dmg reduction doesnt rly feel needed from his support skill as you prolly wont do end game content with this build anyways. I also have to mention my race is Imperial (cause my warden is my main tank) so i do less dmg then a high elf.

[@user-pr6mm5zl7o]

​@@MikeBotGaming thanks for the response, yeah I find it really useful for solo arenas, world bosses, etc. Overall It's a great build and easy to use... Since they nerfed storm Master and it's really annoying to keep the buff for regular enemies, this one has been a great replacement for it

[@ImEcchi]

Seems like this might be the new set? Others have mentioned this. I don’t know why you’d reduce uptime on a buff, just reduce the amount the buff gives. If they make something hard to use with no reward it’s useless. Storm Master might just be dead. Order’s Wrath is also so overpowered. needs to be put at a higher trait craft. Just so they don’t even have a need to nerf the stats.

[@rkless_abandon4438]

have you seen much reduction in damage in heavy attack builds since the empower nerf

[@HackTheMinotaur]

It's very small, maybe 5%-8% less damage overall. There's still an insane amount of heavy attack buffs in the game including sets, CP, off balance, etc.

[@StarOfElyon]

I think I already ran into these a few nights ago

[@bigcbmc2984]

Yea 70-71k is what I keep getting. Gold weapon and purple body. Missing one divines. I put in fetcher instead of the damage reduction.

[@atoxiccasual7851]

Why could I not use an Ice Staff? Would it hurt the overall DPS and build? Awesome build though!!

[@MrSuvvri]

lightning staff is better with the passive of destro staff

[@bentmercer]

Heavy attack sorcerer is still insane in 2024

[@tobiasmuller3195]

Max dps to raid dummy?

[@krisstone3991]

This blows my mind. I find it hard to understand the armour , weapon stats ,buffs , debuffs and what stacks ect. Its alot to think about👍

[@kullinaama]

It's not

[@guyinreallife6035]

is there a medium HA set thats even kind-of worth it? anyway, I love my Warden, but I just wish I could get close to meta dps with 2H, I just want to hit things in the face with an axe, but the DPS difference is so great I hate doing group content and being "that guy".

[@stang1970]

Same here. Lol I hate casting all my builds are 2hs or duel wield

[@Chris-Rife]

ESO only game I find community confusing. I like these videos and your guides. I am just saying I just came from a site saying warden is now worse class in game and magwarden is weakest thing in game currently. lol

[@rtgjr3766]

orders is soooooo useful for all the content you stated plus can be good for certain pvp builds only thing it may not be good for is a tank but then again we know some dude is likely out there is tanking in it & clearing hard content 😂😂😂

[@kurukotaktay]

Why flame damage on the lightning staff? You’d get more damage from a frost damage glyph as a Warden, right?

[@tommyt7566]

Said at 13:32

[@Jibbl3t]

Still viable?

[@uncleashley6903]

is this still viable

[@user-fe5ky1qh6x]

Warden is for every hard metal enjoyers )

[@Titansdragon75]

Even after the update Storm Master is way stronger than orders wrath. If you're going light, noble duelist is better than orders wrath. Dark elf is also way better than khajiit. Lightning wall is better than bird for off balance.

[@DasboardTVDE]

Where did u get storm master set ?

[@Titansdragon75]

@DasboardTVDE You farm it from tempest Island

[@arunabhdubey5301]

Isn't noble duelist applies in melee range?

[@Titansdragon75]

@arunabhdubey5301 Yes, but melee range is actually a pretty good distance. Like one of the small in rooms you get. Wall to wall is melee range.

[@arunabhdubey5301]

They only nerf 10% and idk why they trying ti nerf heavy attack it helps players get i to contact they cant with out that build

Put this exact build together golded out and I’m not even close to these stats lol lol my health isn’t close, my stam/mag recov isn’t even close lol lol

[@ognevkafenella9741]

Because the build in the video is on PTS with a maxed out template character. Literally a different version of the game as well due to ongoing PTS changes. I don't know if he ever mentions it but he really should..:)

[@xboxgamerz22]

Well of course that is the issue is always lighting staff so boring

[@Kooriaisu]

really cant wait to see people use something other than heavy attack lightning staff builds. literally all I see anyone doing it feels

[@wrayk]

According to a top raiding guild I joined, none of the Oakensoul builds are God tier in trials. And on a trial dummy, I can't get much higher than 90k whereas everyone in that guild gets over 110k with their 2-bar builds...

[@KeeseGaming]

Don't be that asshole who runs ahead of the group. If you don't want to be in a group, run it solo. No reason for healers to be bolting ahead ANYBODY.

[@jackflash6377]

Great video!! Warden has been mothballed for a while and forgot how much fun that class is. If the change to empower is "not a big deal" why did they even bother? Appease the whiners? Piss off the people who depend on the one bar to be able to play in normal mode? (not ashamed to join a group because the DPS sucks). Doesn't make sense to me.

[@deustauries]

Im still trying to make a god tier nb build. Just seems impossible considering every other class is significantly better and can deal the same amount of dps with more sustain.

[@AskKicker]

This better be the real fucking deal cuz if I have to delete one more fucking character I'm going to be so pissed the fuck off

[@CAiNiAC]

Who deletes characters instead of respeccing or just switching over for a bit 😂

[@RedneckRepairs]

I wish all the best builds weren't heavy attack builds :/ kinda sick of heavy attack

[@jbking7687]

More 2 bar builds?

[@mrhyperbolic7455]

On single player: I have never been happy with a single player who does not have a really fast healer buddy. I see you have tremendous heal number but really, sometimes you just need one of those guys, either the flying guy or the dinosaur to help out in a pinch. if you are alone how can you survive those onslaughts without one? Sure in a group with a good healer no problem. just saying... Any one want to answer?

[@motsy15]

It is minimal. But it comes after they mega nerfed cp by 40%( a hearty fu to all the long timers) all other damage 30- 40 percent AND nerfed healing, which also nerfs damage because you have to add a heal. Thought everyone forgot all that huh?

[@ARealToothbrush]

I can’t get storm master or sergeant light staff to save my life.

[@HackTheMinotaur]

Keep trying! I would definitely focus on Sergeant's Mail first

[@naldo3008]

If you have it collected just go to a transmute station and recreate one no need to grind

[@ACamaroGuy]

If you are low on transmutations and find them hard to get, collect all the set pieces from the set you want to recreate. You will only use 25 transmutations per item recreated

[@roxannad9134]

I see that character has 3600 CP. Video is not good representation of what a low cp/pre 50 player can expect. 🤨

[@HackTheMinotaur]

It’s a template character on PTS, I never use more than 1000 CP roughly, you can also see build versions with less CP in the written guide

[@nathangelaonline2391]

there is no reason to run Order's here. You should run Gourmand's every time

[@crystallinecrow3365]

Gourmand only drops in light. Wrath can be crafted in any weight - and he is using one of them as medium here. That's the reason.

[@ACamaroGuy]

Gourmands only works with food. If you run a drink...Orders Wrath will work regardless.

Not to mention as well that the 5 item bonus from Gourmand would be overkill on this build. I'm already at 108% Crit while not in group. The minute I am I'm already over the cap. So in my mind this would be a waste.

[@Finwaell]
