Fury – 1vX Dragonknight PvP Brawler Build
Fury is a high-risk, high-reward Dragonknight PvP brawler build designed for aggressive 1vX combat in The Elder Scrolls Online . Originally a personal setup, it gained popularity during live play and was released due to overwhelming demand during Midyear Mayhem.
This build embraces pressure rather than avoiding it. Instead of playing defensively or relying on burst windows from safety, Fury is built to thrive in close-range chaos, where incoming damage fuels offensive power.
Berserker Scaling
The defining feature of this build is the Fury set, which grants stacking Weapon and Spell Damage as you take damage. These stacks build rapidly during combat and refresh while pressure continues, creating a powerful momentum-based damage curve.
At maximum stacks, the build reaches a clear peak state where outgoing damage is significantly increased. This creates a distinct identity: the more danger you are in, the more lethal you become.
Momentum Through Combat
Fury is not about slow, sustained pressure — it is about stat escalation and explosive momentum. As you take damage, Fury rapidly increases your Weapon and Spell Damage, meaning you hit harder and harder the longer you are actively being pressured.
In true brawls, where damage is constant and unavoidable, this stat ramp happens fast. Once a kill is secured — whether by you or by anyone within range that you have engaged — Heem-Jas triggers, injecting a burst of increased damage into the fight.
This is where Fury becomes dangerous. One death creates an opening, that opening creates more damage, and the moment the fight tips in your favor the build can chain kills rapidly. In clustered fights, this snowball effect turns Fury into a flailing nightmare that is extremely difficult to shut down once it starts rolling.
Synergy and Pressure
Supporting sets are chosen to reinforce the build’s momentum-driven nature. Damage bonuses triggered by enemy deaths reward sustained aggression, while flat damage amplification ensures consistent pressure regardless of enemy critical resistance.
Rather than relying on critical hits, this build emphasizes reliable, repeatable damage that remains effective against heavily defended PvP targets.
Ultimate Impact
The build supports both defensive and offensive ultimates, allowing it to function as a frontline threat without sacrificing survivability. High ultimate generation reinforces its ability to stay engaged and control the pace of a fight.
Playstyle Identity
- Designed for small or large scale PvP combat
- Weapon and Spell Damage scale with incoming pressure
- Momentum-based damage which turns into pure burst
- Effective against high critical resistance targets
- Rewards confidence, positioning, and awareness
- No automated win conditions — player execution matters
Fury is not a defensive or passive PvP build. It is a deliberate choice to step into danger and turn it into damage — a true berserker Dragonknight.
Fury – Skill Setup
Fury is an aggressive, high-pressure Dragonknight setup built around mobility, burst damage, and relentless uptime. This configuration uses Two Handed on the front bar for kill pressure and a Bow back bar for utility, debuffs, and sustain.
Front Bar – Two Handed
| Slot | Icon | Skill | Skill Line |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | ![]() | Stampede | Weapon (Two Handed) |
| 2 | ![]() | Dizzying Swing | Weapon (Two Handed) |
| 3 | ![]() | Earthspike Mantle | Dragonknight (Earthen Heart) |
| 4 | ![]() | Rally | Weapon (Two Handed) |
| 5 | ![]() | Reverse Slice | Weapon (Two Handed) |
| Ultimate | ![]() | Take Flight (aka Batman!) | Dragonknight (Ardent Flame) |
Back Bar – Bow
| Slot | Icon | Skill | Skill Line |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | ![]() | Resolving Vigor or Echoing Vigor | Alliance War (Assault) |
| 2 | ![]() | Poison Injection | Weapon (Bow) |
| 3 | ![]() | Razor Caltrops or Disintegrating Breath | Alliance War / Dragonknight |
| 4 | ![]() | Fossilize | Dragonknight (Earthen Heart) |
| 5 | ![]() | Lethal Arrow | Weapon (Bow) |

Class Mastery
Update 50 has given us a new system called Class Mastery in The Elder Scrolls Online. If you decide to remain 100% pure class, you gain access to five unique Class Mastery passives, but can only choose two. These are the two selected for this build.
![]() | - Lead From The Front |
![]() | - Inexorable Descent |
Swap Outs:
Echoing Vigor can be used over Resolving Vigor for group healing.
Disintegrating Breath is an alternative to Razor Caltrops when you want faster Major Breach application and direct camage in close range.
Fury – How to Play
Fury does not follow a traditional rotation. This build is about pressure, positioning, and momentum. You weaken targets from range, crash into them at the right moment, and snowball kills through buffs gained from both dealing damage and taking it.
Buffs You Must Maintain
- Hardened Armor – Keep this up at all times. If this drops, you are vulnerable.
- Rally – Maintain permanently. It provides damage, burst healing, and sustain.
These two buffs are non-negotiable. Losing either dramatically increases your chance of dying.
Opening a Fight
How you enter a fight matters more than anything else. Fury wins by applying pressure before committing.
- Open from long range with: Lethal Arrow.
- Follow with: Light Attack → Poison Injection.
- These apply pressure, debuffs, and force a response before you ever commit.
- Then bar swap and close the gap with Stampede.
Stampede provides strong upfront damage, area damage if multiple enemies are present, and perfectly positions you for crowd control.
Locking the Target
- Once in melee range: Fossilize the target.
- Follow immediately with: Light Attack → Dizzying Swing.
- Continue Dizzying Swing pressure until the target is in execute range or your bow dots are about to fall off.
If your damage over time effects expire, re-apply them before committing further. Never let Lethal Arrow or Poison Injection fall off unnecessarily.
Resources and Survival
- Watch your resources and health constantly.
- If needed, Heavy Attack — this boosts your Two-Handed damage and restores resources.
- Maintain pressure, but never tunnel vision.
Enrage and Target Selection
Fury grows stronger through combat. Kills give you buffs. Taking damage gives you buffs. This creates powerful snowball windows — but only if you choose targets wisely.
- After securing a kill, immediately select a new squishy target.
- Re-apply debuffs, close the gap, and repeat.
- Use your Ultimate when brawling into groups, but always pick your targets.
- Do not waste time wailing on tanks. Your job is to splat squishies.
Fury rewards aggression — but careless aggression turns you into a carpet. Pick your fights, maintain your buffs, apply pressure first, then commit and finish.
ESO Champion Points – Fury Setup
The Champion Point setup for Fury is designed to amplify direct damage pressure, survivability under fire, and sustained brawling power. These slotables support staying aggressive while soaking damage and capitalizing on kills.
This setup reinforces Fury’s core identity: get in, apply pressure, take hits, and hit harder because of it. Damage bonuses, mitigation, and sustain all work together during extended fights.
- Warfare (Blue) – Boosts direct damage while reducing incoming pressure.
- Fitness (Red) – Improves health, sustain, and resistance during combat.
- Craft (Green) – Utility-based Champion Points for general gameplay flow.
This Champion Point setup supports Fury’s gameplay loop: apply debuffs, absorb pressure, secure kills, and snowball the fight.

Food & Potions – Fury
Potions for this build are largely preference-based, but they play an important role. They provide crowd control immunity, recovery bonuses, and an instant burst of Health and Stamina when needed.
🧪 Immovable Potions
☠️ Drain Health Poisons
🍜 Food (Max Health + Max Stamina)
Use the highest-level two-stat food providing Max Health and Max Stamina. All options below give identical stats — choose whichever is easiest to obtain. At the bottom there is also a recovery food option, but less flat stats.
Fury – Gear Setup
| Slot | Gear Set | Weight | Trait | Enchantment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Head | Kra’gh | Heavy | Impenetrable | Health |
| Shoulders | Warrior’s Fury | Heavy | Impenetrable | Stamina |
| Chest | Heem-Jas’ Retribution | Medium | Impenetrable | Stamina |
| Waist | Heem-Jas’ Retribution | Medium | Impenetrable | Stamina |
| Hands | Heem-Jas’ Retribution | Medium | Impenetrable | Stamina |
| Legs | Heem-Jas’ Retribution | Medium | Impenetrable | Stamina |
| Feet | Heem-Jas’ Retribution | Medium | Impenetrable | Stamina |
| Ring 1 | Malacath’s Band of Brutality | Jewelry | Bloodthirsty | Weapon Damage |
| Ring 2 | Warrior’s Fury | Jewelry | Healthy | Weapon Damage |
| Necklace | Warrior’s Fury | Jewelry | Healthy | Weapon Damage |
| Weapon 1 | Warrior’s Fury | 2 Handed Maul | Sharpened | Weapon / Spell Damage |
| Weapon 2 | Warrior’s Fury | Bow | Sharpened | Poisons |
If you really want to push a tiny bit of resistance you CAN go with a medium shoulder (Heem-Jas) and go with a CHEST of Fury (heavy) instead for a minor resistance increase. But it’s not the end of the world if you do not have it.
