Help me to use Saryn in ESO

[Einherjar]

I have trouble making her work, due to a lack of energy to cast Miasma.. So if anyone could share their tactics, and maybe even builds, I would be very grateful :) Basically, I'm a 100% newb with Saryn, but I heard that she is the go-to girl for focus farming now

[Zukabazuka]

Your first problem is building for Miasma, you should build for spores, they are ones that really kills enemies in ESO at least up to wave 8

[Security Cam #7]

If you need energy you should use energizing dash from zenurik focus tree or have an energy vampire trinity in your team

[Ironslayer541]

If you want a build for her 4 you proably wont energy effincy from fleeting expertise or steamline.

[Kawalorn]

Do you have Zenurik focus school unlocked? Proper Saryn ESO really depends on Energy Dash from it.

My personal build for ESO with Zenurik is:

Vitality
Redirection
Stretch
Umbral Intensify
Transient Fortitude
Primed Continuity
Overextended
Streamline
Power Drift
Energy Siphon

I do however have a non-Zenurik build where I switch out Overextended and Trancient Fortitude for Augur Reach and Fleeting Expertise. Less range but maxed efficiency. Works pretty well too.

Additionaly I pack Ignis Wraith to ESO to pop the spores easily.

[Kiwimaru]

I don't really consider a dps saryn build "just built for miasma". If you need range and strength then its spore and miasma generally.
I go
Overextended
Stretch
Augur reach
Blind rage
Intensify (umbra if you use umbra forma)
Transient fortitude
Continuity (you can go primed but this is just to offset transient fortitude)
Vitality or streamline
(Whatever aura mod) or for max deeps Corrosive projection

This needs an ev, period. If you want a non ev version, I say volt is better for that. Second best focus farmer and more energy efficient.

If you are going to Use a Saryn for focus... Keep in mind your frame will get most of the kills so put your best focus lens on your frame. The focus you get from your weapons will not add up to much at all. Currently the best lens is a Lua lens and it is a considerable step up from an Eidolon lens.

If you play With a Saryn the focus will be split evenly from the affinity so make sure you have good lenses on everything.

The way I play Saryn... <this is probably NOT the meta way but it is decent energy conserve way to play >
Hit 3
Hit 1
Melee spores and build up

Use 2 for a distraction/aggro draw <healing with mod>
Use 4 for a quick kill off... for example as the timer clicks down in ESO for the wave bonus. Other than that I don't use my 4 that much at all.

[RogueSoldier]

Build for spores, but do not exceed 200% if costs you things like range/efficiency/survivability/etc. At 200% you get guaranteed corrosive proc's to strip armor and the damage build up at that level is sufficient enough for 8 waves (it can, will, and has sustained past 8 waves though). It's really up to you on how to build your Saryn for ESO, most though come prepped for all power use, no minimal-to-none survivability and used with a team and an Ignis/W.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My build here may not be for you or for more but it works for me. Here is my SOLO ESO Saryn (P) Build (All mods max rank):

-Steel Charge (Aura Forma'd) [will put Growing power here when I get my 3rd Umbra Forma]
-Cunning Drift (Exilus Slot [Not forma'd])
-Stretch (In base Naramon Polarity Slot)
-Umbral Intensify (Slot Forma'd w/ Umbra Forma)
-Umbral Fiber (Slot Forma'd w/ Umbra Forma)
-Umbral Vitality (Not Forma'd Yet [Will forma in the future])
-Adaptation (In base Vazarin Slot)
-Blind Rage (In base Madurai Slot)
-Primed Continuity (Slot forma'd w/ regular forma)
-Overextended

-Max Arcane Guardian
-Max Arcane Energize

Note: Forma pattern (IE no forma in exilus slot etc) is to permit the usage of this Saryn build with other builds I have IE my melee tank build.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To be used with a melee weapon of choice; preferably something with high status and high range. Whatever you choose it MUST have:

-Healing Return (Mod)
-High Range
-Preferably High attack speed and status chance.

In my case, I use my forma'd Lacera:
If using Lacera....

-Build for range
-max status chance (very easy on the Lacera)
-gas damage (for AoE toxin clouds to hit spores even without toxic lash active)
-Attack speed
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: My Lacera has a riven with +Dam, +SC, & +Range, so it works well for me; other weapons can fill the same roll as the Lacera if you have rivens for them that work for the intended role.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Focus school:

-Minimum Mandatory: "Zenurik" w/ "Energizing Dash"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Companions:

-Any

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Together you just cast spores and start going to town with you melee weapon, being invincible and dishing out damage, casting Toxic Lash and Miasma as needed to clear the room multiple times efficiently. Of course I don't expect people to have their umbra forma sitting around waiting to be used so swap some of the build requirements with alternatives as needed. Just remember the goal is minimum 200% STR; as much RANGE as comfortably possible, and decent survivability for solo play.

In my experience strength shouldn't be too high, especially if you want to use it outside of ESO as well. It just leads to enemies dying too fast, you have to recast more often instead of spreading it by killing an infected enemy and then you run out of energy.
Instead I modded for a lot of range to increase the infection rate.

Should put regenerative molt or vitality in there

It's boring. Nothing to do. And a soon as a Saryns take dmg they go down.

[Einherjar]

Soo, it seems that my mistake is that I don't have Zenurik equipped.. My stats are 128%-130%-280%-125%, so I can do most builds with her

[マオ 恵美]

You can put [Rage] or [Hunter Adrenaline] mod in your Saryn build and use Furis (with life steal mod) as main weapon to cover your energy.
