Best Scribing Combinations

Below is a small selection of Scribed Skill Combinations for Tanks, Healers, Damage Dealers, Solo Players, PvP and some fun stuff. None of the skill combinations use class scripts to make them more accessible. You should customize the Grimoires effects based on the sets and content you plan to do, as many of the buffs/debuffs can be acquired from multiple sources. Each Grimoire has around 300 combinations you can create and all the scripts and grimoires have over 4000 combinations total in the ESO Scribing system!

 

The Best Scribing Skills for Tanks

Each of the skill examples can and should be modified to your groups need. Tanks in trials and dungeons might want different effects so remember to communicate with your group!

Leashing Burst

An AOE (area of effect) pull, great for trash in dungeons. Change the scripts based on your preference.

  • Grimoire Soul Burst
  • Focus Script Pull
  • Signature Script Hunter’s Snare
  • Affix Script Interrupt

Leashing Soul

Single target magicka pull that taunts, restores resources and reduces enemy damage. You can use this when you don’t want to use Silver Leash.

  • Grimoire Wield Soul
  • Focus Script Pull
  • Signature Script Druid’s Resurgence
  • Affix Script Cowardice

Warding Contingency

An AOE shield that also reduces the damage you and your allies take by .

  • Grimoire Ulfsild’s Contingency
  • Focus Script Damage Shield
  • Signature Script Gladiator’s Tenacity
  • Affix Script Protection

Heroic Torch

An ultimate generation skill for an off tank in a trial as an example. Change the Affix Script if your group is using ultimate generation potions.

  • Grimoire Torchbearer
  • Focus Script Generate Ultimate
  • Signature Script Gladiator’s Tenacity
  • Affix Script Heroism

The Best Scribing Skills for Healers

Heals get to pick from two great choices in the Scribing system, Mender’s Bond and Dazing Explosion. Mender’s Bond allows you to transfer damage to you and heal your allies in the beam. Dazing Explosion can be used to get AOE minor Brittle debuff.

Mender’s Bond

Transfer damage to you and heal your allies that stand in the beam. If you have an arcanist in your group, they can slot Zenas’ Empowering Disc Skill and you can change the Affix Script to Protection as an example.

  • Grimoire Mender’s Bond
  • Focus Script Mitigation
  • Signature Script Sage’s Remedy
  • Affix Script Courage

Dazing Explosion

A good source of AOE Minor Brittle for trash in Dungeons/Trials. Change the other effects based on your groups needs.

  • Grimoire Elemental Explosion
  • Focus Script Stun
  • Signature Script Druid’s Resurgence
  • Affix Script Brittle

The Best Scribing Skills for Damage Dealers

Damage Dealers don’t have many great picks right now for group content and the grimoires will not be replacing any spammable skill. The only skill that actually improves your overall damage is Venomous Knife. However, most other skills can also deal good damage but often there are slightly better alternatives.

Venomous Knife

  • Grimoire Traveling Knife
  • Focus Script Poison Damage
  • Signature Script Warrior’s Opportunity
  • Affix Script Berserk

In group content like Trials, the Warrior’s Opportunity script (8% increased martial damage taken) becomes very useful if the group has players that deal bleed, physical, and disease damage. Change the other Scripts based on your liking.
Fiery Explosion

  • Grimoire Elemental Explosion
  • Focus Script Flame Damage
  • Signature Script Lingering Torment
  • Affix Script Brittle

Shocking Soul

  • Grimoire Wield Soul
  • Focus Script Shock Damage
  • Signature Script Lingering Torment
  • Affix Script Empower

The Best Scribing Skills for Solo Players

You can scribe great unique skills that fit your character in the content you play. You can add healing, stuns, roots and many other effects you need.

Warding Burst

Warding Burst gives you a shield, gives you ultimate and increases your resistances.

  • Grimoire Soul Burst
  • Focus Script Damage Shield
  • Signature Script Anchorite’s Potency
  • Affix Script Resolve

The Best Scribing Skills for PVP

Sundering Throw

PvP player Decimus recommends using Sundering Throw as a spammable for bash builds. You can then use Reverberating Bash as your stun skill.

  • Grimoire Shield Throw
  • Focus Script Physical Damage
  • Signature Script Knight’s Valor
  • Affix Script Cowardice

Sundering Knife

PvP player Decimus recommends the Traveling Knife Grimoire with Major Prophecy/Savagery for Arcanists or Necromancers as they don’t get this buff from their class. For example an Arcanist can use Sundering Knife instead of Camouflaged Hunter.

  • Grimoire Traveling Knife
  • Focus Script Physical Damage
  • Signature Script Assassin’s Misery
  • Affix Script Savagery and Prophecy

Healing Soul

PvP player Decimus mentions that you can use Healing Soul as your spammable heal as it heals, restores resources and grants you Major Vitality.

  • Grimoire Wield Soul
  • Focus Script Healing
  • Signature Script Druid’s Resurgence
  • Affix Script Vitality

Shocking Soul

PvP player Decimus recommends using Shocking Souls as your new spammable skill as it does Shocking damage in addition to Oblivion damage over time and reduces your enemies damage.

  • Grimoire Wield Soul
  • Focus Script Shock Damage
  • Signature Script Anchorite’s Cruelty
  • Affix Script Cowardice
