Resources for how to deal damage in ESO Options

[Burnt Sierra]

Given some of the discussions that have been happening, I thought it might be useful to create a resource topic where everything needed can be found in one place. So, I'm going to put Youtube links, and websites where applicable, to the various aspects, as a "where did I see, read, hear that." There are so many sites, sets, build video's out there, it can be overwhelming, and many of the popular sites/streamers that were useful back a few years ago, no longer play the game, even though their site and channels are updated with new videos.

So, first up, penetration, critical damage and light and heavy attack weaving. (Please click the bolded titles.)

CRITICAL DAMAGE


LIGHT AND HEAVY ATTACK WEAVING

Secondly, sets. There's a LOT of sets. So, here's some links to help you decide which ones will work for you.

Let's start with a link to a "one size fits all" approach. So not min/maxed, but a "you really can't go wrong with this" approach.

ONE SIZE FITS ALL

Now that does use a trial set, and his suggestion is to use Order's Wrath if you don't have that, but there are many other options, and depending on your class some obviously stronger options. It's almost like we could do with a tierlist...oh, wait, thanks to Mr. Skinny Cheeks, we have that

TIERLIST FOR DD SETS

Keep in mind that list is for update 42, so Azureblight has been changed, but everything else mentioned is still up to date. He also has a Monster Set list on his site too, if you don't want to run a mythic, but bear in mind that Stormfist has been nerfed to Oblivion in this latest patch

MONSTER SETS

Next, skills. Depending on the class you play, how do you know which skills are going to work for you? Luckily Ninja Pulls has created an excellent series of guides on that exact topic. (Except Wardens. Whether that might come I'm not sure, as Wardens tend to be used as healers in endgame, not DD. I love playing a Warden DD, but I do think they lend themselves more to an Oakensoul Build - more on that soon.)
