Introduction
Master your class, discover powerful builds and uncover the secrets of Tamriel. Psijic Pages pairs ready-to-run Elder Scrolls Online builds with theorycrafting tools that do the maths for you.
Update 52 (PTS) version
This page is the Update 52 version of the introduction. Update 52 is on the PTS until January 19, 2027, so numbers can still move. Skill and set tooltips still show the live Update 51 text; hover one that changes to see what's new. For what works in game today, switch to Update 51 in the version picker (top right, or in the menu on phones). The full list is in the Update 52 patch notes.
What is this?
Builds are organised by role: tank, healer and damage dealer. Alongside them, the Build Editor and the penetration and crit calculators work for any class and role.
Each build answers the same questions in the same order: what to slot, what to wear, which Champion Points to take and how to play it. There's one tank, one healer and one damage dealer build for each of the seven classes, played pure class so you can unlock Class Mastery, plus a subclassed build for each role that mixes skill lines from several classes.
Every build targets group PvE (dungeons and trials) and is written for Update 52. When the game changes, the build pages change too. Each one shows when it was last reviewed.
Reading a build
Build pages follow a fixed layout, so you can jump straight to what you need from the sidebar on the right:
- 01OverviewWhat the build does, its strengths and weaknesses, and what it brings the group.
- 02At a glanceRace, mundus stone, food, potions and attributes.
- 03SkillsBoth skill bars, the reason for every slot, and flex picks.
- 04GearEvery slot with trait and enchant, plus a breakdown of each set.
- 05Champion PointsThe stars to slot in each constellation.
- 06How to playThe habits that make the build work in practice.
Hover references
Anything with an icon and a dotted underline is a live reference. Hover it, or tap it on mobile, to see a tooltip with the game's own icon. Every tooltip links to the matching UESP and ESO-Hub pages for exact numbers. The colour tells you what kind of thing it is:
Class skill Coloured by its class.
Weapon, guild or world skill Shown in blue.
Item set Legendary gold; mythics are orange.
Champion Point star Blue, red or green by constellation.
Buff Green.
Debuff Red.
