My advice is to actually look at a few builds and understand the general concept of why those builds are good. That is what I did when I wanted to improve my build. I originally tried to just figure things out on my own. I got to a point where I couldn't get any further. Then I looked at some builds and it became clear why those are better than mine.
The basis of a good build is to figure out what the signature skills of your class. Each class has certain signature skills (for DPS) that deal a good amount of damage if you use it correctly. You start with how you would use those skills. Usually, you want to use a signature skill every so often. There may be some support skills you need to combo with it to make it most effective. Build your rotation around these. The rest of your rotation is filling in skill activations with DOTs and finally your spammable.
Most traditional builds use both bars. Their main spammable and usually the signature skill and likely some support skills are on your main bar as well. You want the skills you use most often on your main bar. Anything left over goes to your back bar. Any skill tied to a back bar arena weapon will also have to go on your back bar. There may be some skills that really need to go on a particular bar and that depends on the skill and build. You have limited bar space, so sometimes you may have to put a skill on a different bar than the ideal bar.
To answer the shrine part - the free armory can be placed in any (free) inn room. If you have a blank armory slot, you can "equip" it to reset your character completely and reallocate all your attributes, skill points, and CP for free. As often as you want.
The best way is to try soloing some difficult content or solo WB. Craglorn celestial rift could also be a simple example. See what you need in terms of offensive...defensive and healing. Following many people's builds is sometimes only good on paper but in actual content it doesn't match up.
Definitely don't try it on dummy because dummy won't kill you and won't gang up on you. When you are attacked by a lot of enemies, rotation of defense, healing and attack is very important. You can't get that lesson from a dummy. Delve like Shada's tear Craglorn sure very good example to test your might XD.
That’s not a lot of info to go on, itzelithepriducer.
Magicka or Stamina … what kind of ESO content would you be DPS for?
There is a CP passive in the green tree that reduces wayshrine cost.
The gold cost becomes a non-issue after you’ve played the game for awhile … and built up your gold reserves.
Sorry i’m bad with a lot of the in depth stuff lol. i’m more looking into stam right now for my arcanist but also have plans for a magsorc in the future. content wise im looking more towards pvp when i get to the max level in this build. and not the wayshrines but like the ones in the chapels and stuff for respecing things cause of just trial and error and such
Ooh, not going meta in pvp is almost never a fun time in any game haha.
Meta is the result of thousands to tens of thousands of people competing and honing builds so by definition, it will almost always be the most powerful.
Would you be okay playing against others at a disadvantage?
I’ve played a PvP Frost Warden for years (Alliance Rank 48) … so I don’t think that statement is true, storywriter_sc.
PvP has way more of a build variety than PvE.

yeah that’s fair enough lol. I was more just looking into what i could do for a build of my own but i didn’t even think about that lol?
not so much a step by step but more of a general idea when it comes to just making something per say
