Here we have a Stamina Necromancer Two-Hander/Bow PVE build and Iron Atronach Parse for Scalebreaker.

Other setups

vMA Daggers/Bow: youtu.be/JXrSpAHqLHU

There have been loads of changes across the board for combat in ESO. I would recommend you to read the relevant patch notes.

I am using the Max Stam/Stam Regen food, with 64 points into Stamina for all Stamina Setups in these rotations. This is simply for comparison purposes in this test environment.

So, the Stamina Necromancer is the go-to class as a DD in Trials in ESO. There is no doubt this is mainly because of their Ultimate, the Pestilent Colossus, which gives an AOE Major Vulnerability debuff for 5 seconds.

Here I will not describe any rotation which relies on Detonating Siphon. Bitterly disappointing that it still doesn't work, since it is amazing for sustain (costs no resources) and does decent AOE and Single Target damage too.

The Stamina Necromancer 2H setups have seen plenty of popularity. The naturally lower crit chance of 2H setups are fairly well countered by its Critical Chance passive boost in execute. This combined with the amazing splash damage offered when Reverse Slice comes into effect means in this video I have decided to select Reverse Slice as the execute morph, rather than Executioner, despite Executioner's buff. The Two-Hander setups are generally used for their cleave rather than their single target DPS anyway, so if that's what you're looking for I'd recommend any of the Dual Wield/Bow setups that I've previously showcased.

If you wanted to try out a rotation yourself maximizing ST with Detonating Siphon and Executioner, you'd probably be looking at 104k+ here, which would be its real potential in comparison, rather than what I show here.

There are plenty of different bar setups that are viable. For example, you can use Carve as your spammable (better to space it out rather than to cast it consecutively, to get a tick of the bleed), and drop Venom Skull altogether, leaving you a free bar slot on your front bar. Here you could slot Archer, Trap, Boneyard, Trapping Webs or Detonating Siphon for the passives. Wrecking Blow is also pretty good actually. If you're thinking to choose between any 2 combinations which might be pretty close, chances are that they are and you'll be fine with your choice.

Rotation

This, like other Stamina rotations, will be 10-seconds long because Arrow Barrage, Poison Injection, Carve and Consuming Trap are all 10 seconds long.

The minimum backbar rotation is simply: Arrow Barrage - Poison Injection. Barbed Trap and Skeletal Archer are to be cast on cooldown, or roughly every other rotation if you want to keep it simple.

On your front bar, make sure to cast Carve and Soul Trap once. In the rest of the time, cast Venom Skull and Blastbones. Generally, you can cast Blastbones 1-in-3 skills (if you're lucky), so you can expect to cast it 3 times per rotation. Of course, you will need to space them out, so often it will be 2x 1-in-3 and a 1-in-4 to generalize.

As you head towards execute, at around 30%, you can start casting Reverse Slice as your main spammable. If you are using 3x Bloodthirsty, then below 25% you can simply drop Blastbones altogether. Keep up all DOTs if you anticipate getting a near full duration out of them, then otherwise cast Reverse Slice as much as you can. If there are other targets nearby that require to be 'splashed' down, then you can more or less drop Blastbones completely at 35% and simply rely on Reverse Slice.

For Maarselok, you will need to Bash once every 7 or more seconds to proc its effect.


Proposed Static Rotation:

Start: Archer - Trap - Blastbones

Barrage - Injection - (Archer / Barbed Trap - alternate them after the first rotation)
Blastbones - Carve - Consuming Trap - Blastbones - Spam - Spam - Blastbones

Spam = Venom Skull above 35% and Reverse Slice below 35%. Below 25%, also replace Blastbones with Reverse Slice.


Thanks for checking out this Stamina Necromancer 2H setup. Let me know if you need anything related to the setups!
