Learn how to create a powerful PvE Warden build by subclassing into Grave Lord and Assassin in Elder Scrolls Online.

Update 46 of Elder Scrolls Online introduced the powerfulsubclassingmechanic, which allows players to pick skill lines from different classes to create powerful combinations. For Warden players, subclassing offers the potential to shore up their deficiencies in AoE damage and DPS.

The Gravelord skill line of the Necromancer subclass is a surprisingly natural fit with the Animal Companions Warden. This build also subclasses into the Assassination skill line of the Nightblade class to significantly ramp up weapon and spell damage with the Rentless Focus slotted bonus and healing capability. While the build is primarily focused on PvE, it can be altered for PvP with armor set and ability changes.

Class Skill Lines

Subclassing

Subclassing in this build enhances the Warden’s combat efficiency by combining Necromancer and Nightblade abilities. The Grave Lord skill line introduces strong AoE tools like Blighted Blastbones and Skeletal Archer, boosting overall damage output and synergy with Animal Companions.

From the Nightblade’s Assassination line, Relentless Focus and Killer’s Blade offer high single-target damage and crucial healing. This dual-subclass setup creates a fast-paced, stamina-based playstyle that excels in both solo and group PvE, delivering a well-rounded balance of sustained pressure, burst potential, and survivability.

Attributes

While slotting attributes, speccing 64 points into Stamina is the best choice for this build as it will scale your damage, healing, and shields.

Mundus Stone

The best Mundus Stone for the subclassing Warden is the Thief, as it provides an increased weapon and spell critical strike chance.
