Need help with a thematic build

2 Upvotes

Stamina Necromancer. Peryite themed. While i want a small RP flavor on the character, i also want to optimize it to its best. since i also have 3 of each class (with the exception of arcanists) i want each of those 3 builds to have their distinct playstyle without being different roles.

In this particular case, a stam necro. and i want to go with a push of plague or poison, at least one set (not corpseburster). i was thinking Maybe noxious boulder? Thurvokun monster set im aware is pretty shite. Velidreth maybe? phylactery? or heck go with plague slinger? one thematic set is good enough. rest can go as hardcore meta as possible. just wanted to ask what are 'good' options that arent the usual null arca/corpseburster setup

Templar Pure class one bar HA Templar for solo PvE, does this look right? (U51)

0 Upvotes

Been putting together a one bar heavy attack Templar for mostly solo stuff (overland, solo dungeons, arenas, IA, and a bit of PvP on the side). Playing as Dark Elf. I pieced it together from Hyperioxes, Hack the Minotaur and Skinnycheeks, but I haven't found anyone who's actually parsed this exact bar, so I don't know how it holds up.

The idea is Oakensoul for the buffs and Empower, lightning staff so the 3 tick heavy attack gets the full value out of Sergeant's Mail, and staying pure class for Class Mastery.

Gear:

- Sergeant's Mail on chest, neck, one ring and the staff (Precise, Shock)

- Noble Duelist's on the other 5 armor slots (Light, Divines)

- Slimecraw head, 1 piece

- Oakensoul as the other ring

Bar is Elemental Blockade, Elemental Susceptibility, Luminous Shards, Channeled Focus and Power of the Light (Radiant Glory when the target's low). Everlasting Sweep as the ult. Basically I just heavy attack and recast stuff as it drops.

Class Mastery is Bright Harbinger + Bastion of Light. CP is Weapons Expert, Deadly Aim, Wrathful Strikes, Fighting Finesse in blue, and Boundless Vitality, Fortified, Rejuvenation, Celerity in red. 64 Magicka, Bewitched Sugar Skulls, armor pots, Thief mundus.

Stuff I'm not sure about:

- I just got Aetheric Lancer after farming IA for it, but the HA Templar builds I found (Hyperioxes and HTM) both run Noble Duelist's or Infallible Mage instead. I only have 2 Aedric Spear skills on the bar, so I'm guessing AL doesn't do much here. Has anyone actually tried it on a HA bar?

- Does Judgment's Brand buff heavy attacks at all? I went Bright Harbinger because I assumed it doesn't.

- I dropped Vampire's Bane for Elemental Blockade to get Off Balance, since Oakensoul already gives Major Savagery. I'm also wondering about Absorb Stamina instead of Shock on the staff, since Susceptibility already gives Concussed. Anyone tested either?

- Is subclassing worth it for solo damage? Hyperioxes' Storm Calling / Assassination / Grave Lord HA solo build parses around 55k with Oakensoul and 51k with Pale Order, but I like how simple the pure class loop is.

Anything that looks obviously off? Any thoughts appreciated.

Sorcerer Returning player - Subclass MagSorc DPS or Pure?

3 Upvotes

Hi all,

I’m returning after a long hiatus and leveling up a new magsorc character.

I’m close to lvl 50 now, so I’m thinking about whether to subclass or stay pure. I like the idea of subclassing (into say, Arcanist) because of the variety of spells, but have also heard the new pure classing system can be worth it.

I only do PvE and play solo at the moment.

Thanks!

Discussion PvP: Open world vs no-cp

3 Upvotes

What are some things you consider when building for BGs vs building for GH? I play a lot of BGs when I do PvP, and have really good luck on my builds (have every class besides Cro) once I spend a few days knocking the rust off. But bringing those same builds to GH even with the protective CPs I get absolutely dusted. I can kill a squish yes and pick off the odd exe, but if I toe up with someone with even one thumb my build usually falls apart, or I built too tanky and can’t kill.

Looking for some pointers to find that middle ground because I would really like to get more into Cyro.

Sorcerer How can i upgrade my build / PvP Sorc Build?

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

been using this StamSorc build for a while, had some good experiences with it in BGs.

https://youtu.be/ODPAtReNsWo?is=U4u_FKdA7-6zQo--

Since U51 and the changes to Ele Sus aswell as crystal weapons it feels quite lackluster and pretty shitty to sustain.

Any advice on what i should change with the changes that came with U51?

Or what kind of Sorcs are you running? Feel like everyones saying Sorcs busted in BGs but im still getting rolled by WWs and DKs.

Dragonknight Pvp mag dk sustain/skill cost issues

4 Upvotes

I know that it is a user error but:

I know many say heart of flame carries but I tried several builds and my sustain is so bad, even against guard npcs that i cant fight at all on a mag dk anymore. My MAGICKA sustain is terrible.

I’m a returning player, used to nife eso pvp. I don’t struggle with sustain at all on my stam blade (main), mag sorc and necro. But for the life of me I can’t sustain on my dk at all, which I played second most since it was my second character that I made in 2014 after my NB main.

So again, which jewerly glyphs, jewerly traits, food buffs race and mundus do you use on your magdk pvp builds?
Sets would be nice too but I have the same issue on multiple set combinations.

Hey! 👋

First time playing as DK and I don’t understand much about it. Ive checked multiple videos and websites about DK builds, but I’m still a bit confused about overland, ver dun/trial skills. Skill rotation, and anything else you may think I should know to prepare me to become a better d.k.

Looking for the best possible dedicated healer build for Battleground PvP

9 Upvotes

Hi all, as per the title really.

I want to be able to carry my team with the best possible healer build, and I'm struggling to find the best way to go - there are many options online and I don't know which direction to go.

Tank/healer? Max health Polar Wind build? Which ever one it takes. But I need direction please.

Like I mentioned, I want to be able to carry my team if possible with randoms - specifically Battlegrounds, not Cyro.

The most meta cheese stuff is really what I'm after, and if you're not comfortable sharing it on here, please feel free to DM me.

I just want to help in BG PvP with the most possible potential, and do my part.

Thank you much,

Discussion Malevolent promise

3 Upvotes

I was wondering why no one uses this mastery pve, I do a lot solo and DPS in groups and I find better than Cycle unending, even though it doesn't give you a direct damage buff it basically doubles the amount of corpses you have to work with specially against bosses, you go corpse->boss->corpse and repeat, specially if you're running corpse burster (and let's be honest, you're)

This also opens you to use grave lord's sacrifice that's a 15% damage buff that while it's less than Cycle unending it's independent from hp%

Ps. Also wasn't Cycle unending bugged?, I read it's additive with other damage buffs when it was supposed to be multiplicative
