ESO Build Planner
Pick a class, role, and playstyle — get a complete starting sheet (gear, skills, mundus, race, food) assembled from the same datamined sets and skills as our Build Generator, with the buffs it covers listed. Choose, and it's built instantly. Want to assemble your own from scratch instead? Use the interactive Build Planner.

How to Read and Adjust a Generated Build
Each build produced by the planner lists the buffs it covers based on the specific gear sets, skills, mundus stone, race, and food chosen for that class/role/resource/playstyle combination. If a buff you rely on isn't listed, that's a signal to swap a piece of gear or a skill slot for one that provides it — the build is meant as an editable starting sheet, not a fixed loadout.
Because set bonuses and skill coefficients are patch-sensitive, always cross-check the exact numbers in-game before committing transmute crystals or gold to a swap. The page notes the game update and data-pull date it reflects; if you're reading this well after that date, treat any numeric detail as a starting reference and verify in-game rather than assuming it's unchanged.
If the generated build doesn't fit your preferred content (e.g., you want a PvP variant, or a very specific trial fight), use it as a mechanical foundation — the general playstyle, resource type, and role logic will usually still apply — and swap only the sets, skills, or mundus that don't fit your target content, using the browse categories (Mythic, Monster Helm, Trial, Dungeon, Arena, Crafted, Overland, PvP) to find substitutes.
Common questions
What's the difference between the Build Planner and the Build Generator?
The Build Planner takes your class, role, resource type, and playstyle choices and immediately assembles a single starting build from that combination. The Build Generator is the broader tool behind it, drawing from the same datamined sets and skills but allowing more granular customization if you want to assemble a build from scratch rather than start from a preset combination.
What does 'meta-validated' vs 'data-valid' mean for a build's tier?
Meta-validated means the assembled build also appears at the top of the current live meta rankings — it's both correctly cited from game data and independently confirmed as top-performing. Data-valid means the build is correctly assembled and cited from the same datamined sets and skills, but it isn't currently listed among the top parses in the live meta. Both are accurate starting points; data-valid builds simply haven't been benchmarked against current top-parse rankings.
Can I use a Build Planner result for PvP instead of PvE?
The Class, Role, Resource, and Playstyle selectors on this page are aimed at PvE group and solo content. For PvP-oriented gear, check the PvP sets browse category linked on this page, since PvP builds typically prioritize different set bonuses (survivability, burst, mobility) than the PvE-focused starting sheets generated here.
