――― Animals, da most notorious gang in da city…ya get me? …(Placide, Voodoo Boys)
――― 一度はAnimal Companionsのスキルで埋め尽くしたビルドを作りたかっただろ？正直になれよ。….(俺)

The new subclass system can edit role-specific subclasses setup, but it requires many armory slots.
In my case, most sub characters have only 2-3 armory slots, so they can't have both a PvP and a PvE-DPS setup.
I need a build which can do PvE content with PvP subclasses.

※This build can:  

• Solo/Group Arena V
  Beam-DPS is generally more welcomed, but if you die often, an Oaken build may serve you better.
• Trial N(except Cloudrest; requires swap for mechanics)
  For Trial V with HA, get Rakkhat's Voidmantle. 
  (Not beginner-friendly, costly gear. Remember you can always swap characters for Trial V.)
• Dungeon V(If you know mechs well)
  Don’t be too eager for HM. I’ve cleared several DLC HMs with Oaken and random groups, but I’ve also failed.

Honestly, [Animal Companions] is strong and suitable for a HA build. (And, it's possibly within your PvP armory slot.)
Deep Fissure and Swarm provide 3 important debuffs for a long time (Major Breach, Minor Breach, and Minor Vulnerability). Dive easily causes [Off-Balance], which boosts HA damage just before you start HA. Bond with Nature will heal you every time you cast(and expire) an Animal skill. 
In most situations, simply keeping Animal skills active is enough.
※Caution. When you use Dive, keep away from your target more than 7m. When you want to proc Noble Duelist's Silks, within 7m.

Rotation / Flow

1. Preparation: Cast Deep Fissure & Netch before battle.
2. Engage: Rush in with Radiant Ward + Swarm (kills trash, gives a strong shield, and applies debuffs).
   Also procs Noble Duelist’s Silks.
3. Step back (7m+): Use Dive on main target (applies Off-Balance) → HA ×3.
   Off-Balance lasts 7s; immunity lasts 15s.
4. Repeat: After Off-Balance ends, Dive another enemy + HA.
   Unlike Sorc HA, Animal HA can start Off-Balance whenever you want.
5. If needed: Spam Netch for heals.
   If you must split from healers, remember Bond with Nature and Netch cost nothing.
   (I call this “Netch Runner”)

4th Skill

Three skills + ultimate are mostly fixed from Animal Companions. The 4th skill is flexible depending on the situation.

• Swarm ( Growing Swarm or Fetcher Infection )
  Default choose. Minor Vulnerability, Critical damage 5%. Either morph is fine.
  Growing Swarm is limited to one target, but Minor Vulnerability is unaffected. Don’t hesitate to recast before HA—each cast also procs Bond with Nature.
• Critical Surge
  If you need more healing.
• Crushing Shock
  If you need an interrupt.
• Banner Bearer ( [Magical Banner] )
  In group play, can increase DPS. For solo, I confirmed Swarm usually performs better.

5th Skill(3rd Class)

This slot usually comes from another subclass. Since this build is designed for solo play, I recommend a defensive skill.

• Radiant Ward  (T1: Aedric Spear)
  Good and common choice. Also works as spammable AoE direct damage.
• Luminous Shards (T1: Aedric Spear)
  If you don't need a shield.
• Detonating Siphon (Ne1: Grave Lord)
  Works with HA builds, but other Grave Lord skills, Sacrificial Bones Boneyard can make the rotation too busy.
• Burning Embers (D1: Ardent Flame)
  Very defensive. no need to shield. (no other offensive choise in Ardent Flame)
• Dampen Magic (Light Armor), Torchbearer ( e.g. [Healing Torch] ), Ulfsild's Contingency ([Warding Contingency])
  If your subclass has no defensive options. Class skills are generally more advantageous, so prioritize them.

Enchant

I usually share the gears( Sergeant's Mail, Noble Duelist's Silks) via my house storage. 
These gears should preferably be enchanted with Tri-stats because this build does not have heavy spam skills. 
With Tri-stat gear, you can use the same set for both stamina and magicka builds.

Stamina Convertible

The build doesn't need to be magicka type. If you want to be stamina, Animal Companions's morph can be adjusted. Fetcher Infection to Growing Swarm. For a one-by-one style, Stamina works better.
Cutting Dive is better than Screaming Cliff Racer because of Critical Surge.
Blue Betty pairs well with Radiant Ward. Bull Netch is good with Banner Bearer. Lack of stamina can be fatal, so Bull Netch remains a solid choice.

Race

Unfortunately, Khajiit is out... Critical damage bonus is 25%(Animal) + 12%(Aedric Spear) + 10%(Minor Force). Critical cap is near if you are in PT.

Curse

For pure PvE, Vampire isn’t needed. HA builds are resource-friendly, so skill costs rarely matter.

3m Dummy

On a 3m dummy: 50k DPS (with Blazing Spear). See screenshot.(I feel it can go higher.)

Q. How did this page(and image) turn out like this?
A. I kept making ChatGPT tweak and polish my writing… and somehow, here we are. I thought it looked funny, so I just left it like that.
