In The Elder Scrolls Online, you can acquire Stamina-based sets from different facets of gameplay. Stamina is the primary resource for many builds that require these sets for essential buffs that are often missing from the different classes in the title. These buffs include an increase in the Max Stamina and recovery of your character.

The armor sets in the title are available in three categories: Light, Medium, and Heavy Armor. Stamina-based builds generally use Medium armor sets for their numerous passives that buff the Weapon Damage and Stamina Recovery of classes. That said, let's look at the five best Stamina-based sets in The Elder Scrolls Online.
