Primary Sets
The recommended items sets for the GRYPHON Stamina Templar Build are focused on a combination of damage and speed with the goal of destroying as many enemies as possible, as fast as possible!
First, the Spriggan’s Thorns set is a great all-around damage set for any stamina build in The Elder Scrolls Online due to its great mix of stats including Stamina, Weapon Damage and Physical Penetration. Not only are the stats great, but this set is also extremely easy to obtain, either from Guild Traders or by farming yourself.
Next, the Gryphon’s Ferocity set provides a great balance of Speed and Damage, providing two excellent self-buffs for free.
Finally, the absolute best Monster Set choice for this build is the Sellistrix set. This is amazing for grinding experience due to the free AOE stun and damage proc.
