The Maximum Effort Warden Solo Build for the Endless Archive | Elder Scrolls Online

I can't wait to see where I can take this build with some more practice, and the upgrades in the Archive! I'm hoping for Arc 6 or 7!

Now the vision will get nerfed

I just built this and it works SO good. I maxed out the whole thing and have it almost identical and it is shockingly good. I love it

Great job on the build! Made a version on templar and currently #15 on XBox NA for endless archive, and that was without the vision boosting status effects! I watched this and your other vid and wanted to drop a note to consider changing to crushing shock for the ranged interrupt. I noticed you are not interrupting the enemies very much in the videos and getting destroyed by the Thoa't shards because of it lol. Definitely take the time to interrupt them (even just with a bash) and you'll have good results. The AOE from force pulse is magic damage and overall, not as necessary as getting those interrupts in IMO. Something to consider. On templar, I've even debated using explosive charge for the AOE interrupt (plus that gives major protection).

This build is meta AF! I made some minor adjustments to it and got to arc 9 solo.
This is what I did in case you want to implement it as well:
Mixed ice furnace with heartland on body to get 4 heavy/ 2 medium / 1 light ( did this to get all 3 bonuses from undaunted passives).

1 piece magma incarnate for the recovery

Pale order instead of oakensoul.

Poison enchant on heartland frontbar staff. (+1 stats effect)

VMA ice backbar (infused/berserker glyph)

FB: blue or green beetles (depends on your pen) / cutting dive (+ bleed effect)/ crushing shock (ranged interrupts)/ leeching vines/ arctic blast/ barrier (+10% mag recov from support passive)
BB: blockade/ winters revenge/ice fortress/blue netch/green vigor/ northern storm (for passives) or ice comet (for actual decent damage)

Red Frothgar food (this one made a HUGE difference)

For red cp im doing fortified/boundless vit/ the one where you gain health recov based on ulti/ and either sustained by suff or pains ref

Blue CP

Force of nature/ thaumaturge/biting aura/ defensive one of choice

Very interesting building around a vision. Having 2 builds u can rock the regular solo setup until u get the vision going.
Good stuff!

Hi, for dungeon/semi solo
Would frost bite + ice furnace works well?

Skills to change to
Pulse, shalk, wall, winter and heals.
Thank you

I'm trying this out right now, seems fun so far. The link you provided for the build says to put points into medium armor, however this is a heavy set build with one light, just thought I'd mention it.

This build looks real fun. How well does it hold up if you don’t manage get focused efforts?

Thank you for the build. Tonight, using it I got to Arc 4 for the first time - was lucky enough to get a Focused Efforts as my second vision. As others have commented, yes to the second video.

Yes, part 2 please. I enjoy your builds and they work very well. Nice to see Wardens getting some attention!

@CreativeExcusesGaming you likely won't see this message now but I just want to say a big thanks, I'm an old gamer and been playing ESO for years but mainly PvP, I'm only average at PVE and don't really feel it, then I heard about Endless Archive and for some reason it grabbed me and I wanted a class/setup to try it out and had no Idea how and what to do. Someone on Reddit recommended this video, so I built it, I tried it and last night the tank left a random dungeon I was in and the other 2 players were low levels in bad gear, for the first time in my ESO life I carried the group, pretty much killing the bosses solo as they both died, this is from a PvE noob in his 50's, I really appreciate the video and effort, thanks

Don't know if someone's already suggested it, but you can replace heartland conqueror with serpent's disdain and pair it with elemental susceptibility. Single target and lasts 30 seconds, but as long as you keep it up you'd be able to maintain a 100% or near 100% uptime for burning, chilled, and concussion.

I Wanted to hear ur thoughts on the Asylum Staff... charged.. using this Heartland Setup...
Also, i was considering using the interuot morph instead of the AoE one... please lmk what you are thinking... also... my warden doesnt have its fighters and undaunted passives.. but i have a main Sorc n NB... think i can make this idea work with one of them??

Hi there.. I have a few questions. I have a Kajit Warden CP 2062.. I really want to try this build however, I don't have access to the Assault line.. Never stepped foot in Cyrodill. Can you recommend anything in place of that skill? Also, I still need a couple pieces of The Ice furnace. Should I wait until I have all the pieces or can I run with something else, for example, Heartland C. ? I'm a Grand Master crafter so I can craft pretty much anything that's craftable. TY for your time.. looks like an excellent build. I subscribed to your channel.

Try’d a variation for dk today and it’s really good 👍🏼 and fun to play.

would deep fissure be better than elemental susceptibility? the latter has status procs, but id have thought you would be procing those anyway, and deep fissure gives some aoe burst, major and minor breach and animal companion passives

Is build good just good at solo or all around

I really like this concept but the DPS without focused efforts is too low to progress imo. Will keep trying it though

The amount of EA runs I've done these last few days vs the amount of times I've gotten Focused Efforts vision is extreme :(

do you have any tips on how to fit baron zaudrus set into the build?

I’m super excited to someone else using ice furnace. I have a build with that and frostbite I really like. But I definitely need to try this. This looks like it puts out a ton more dps. Thank you!

Glad I came across this. I've been struggling in EA solo, even with a companion and golded out gear. I've been using 5pc Frostbite, 5pc Ysgramor's or Winter's respite, and oakensoul, since I"ve been playing a "Frost mage" warden for a long time now. Ice Furnace never really seemed like a good alternative to more frost damage, but now that I'm seeing this I'm reconsidering, and kind of kicking myself for golding out the wrong sets because now it'll be a huge expense to change.

Guess I need to start farming ice furnace!

so far EA has been a massive disappointment, not sure if I am alone in this but the rewards are absolute garbage and the new class sets are laughable at best, it is a neat idea but if we talk about it being worth it it straight up isn't, not for the investment in time it requires to prepare builds for it.

Doooooope I'm definitely saving this for when I get my warden up and running

I LOOOVE THIS. I have 1 question though, wont fire staff give more DPS? due to the new passive? "Inferno Staves increases your damage done with damage over time and Status Effects by 12%"

Wow this is cool. Warden is my main so I may need to get another build slot just for this! Would you say this is the best EA Warden build?

My issue with the archives is how you can get a whole run scuffed by getting shit visions, I think you should be able to reroll the visions once or something

I had a 180k run that ended because I had a build that was benefitting from max health and I got that far without getting any HP% visions the entire time, which was what I was betting on

Why Northern Storm and not other ulti? Wont the pasives from the companion skillline be wasted?

Awesome! Thank you

Great video. Im getting alerts for your future videos now. Thank you.

Ice Furnace/Heartland Conqueror is my normal warden build for dungeons, and it is what I am planning to use for the Endless Archive. The boost to status effect chance is +890%: +730% (Heartland Conqueror charged trait), +100% (Destruction Staff), +60% (Battle Mastery/Flawless Ritual). I use a frontbar Heartland Conqueror ice staff and a backbar Maelstrom 2H to boost all direct damage instances, which include all Frostfire procs, all chilled procs, and up to nine instances from Force Pulse (frost, flame, shock, magicx2, chilled, concussed, overchargedx2). Poison and disease weapon enchants add two more status effects, bleed and hemorrhage come from Carve, and I plan to use Inner Beast for taunt and sunder as the final status effect. (I am the tank in the Endless Archive duo.) Between Deep Fissure and Force of Nature, this supplies up to about 15.5k armor penetration to the duo.

I was just telling my buddy this morning that I think ice furnace would be good for my warden in EA. Then I searched Endless Archive builds and found your video and now I'm sold. Can't wait for the second video

You think there's a way to run this without oakensoul and still be as powerful? I like the inferno changes happening next patch and was curious if something like this would benefit from the inferno passive updates

Nice build. However I like my bear since he is like a tank and rarely dies. His DPS is fine and I do not have to do anything and my health regen stays high. Just wish my companion could last past the second stage boss. Thank you for the build. Been fun even outside of the archives. Any thoughts on overland bosses and tougher dungeons and survivability? I still tend to die a bit more than I like.

what else are you using, since its one bar build assuming oakensoul, what did you got for 1 peice should or helm. A monster set that has recovery?

When does endless archive drop ?

Definitely going to set this up! Do we know if the class set drops will be specific to the class you bring (I.e. only warden set drops)?

Recently subscribed to your channel and its quickly become my favorite eso content - love how you talk through your process and I find the videos so clean and relaxing to watch. Wanted to say keep up the good work!

yo using furnace as a burning factory is actually pretty genius. gg on that one :D

Wild. 6 year player and i has no idea status effects could proc more than once a second. Good on ya

Was waiting for this 🙌🏾

Your vids have really helped me get better at the game and theory-craft!

I really enjoy your builds because they work SO well and they are off Meta which I really like and appreciate. I hate seeing the same stuff used over and over again. I like different builds that also hit hard. And keep some people guessing how am I surviving and doing so much dmg. Thank you for these vids
