Did you make it to where we have to be members for months before we can access some of the builds because it’s not giving the option to select elite squad
I just switched my stamblade to magicka and wow what a difference. Magicka feels so fun and op. Had to get my build under control and this video helped a lot thanks!
The new update is going to buff scribing abilities so they don't feel like Kirkland brand aren't they? Hopefully the damage increases for the soul spamable.
I'll believe you saying that Nightblade are OP in solo as they regurlarly hit the top places on my server in all the solo contests, including Infinite Archives. However you should illustrate your build video by showing more difficult content being done. I don't know what that worm boss is, but the Minautor is a simple world boss (losing health to a world boss is kinda showing a wrong example) and the infinite archive footage is only Arc 2. You should use Llothis (Asylum trial) in Vet mode to illustrate boss fight capacities I think (he's easily reachable), and at least Arc 6 to illustrate trash mobs capacities in harder content. Your builds will gain more impact and visibility like that. Just my two cents however, do as you please ^^
Is just a demonstration my colleague, to show that the build works in most content. IF you want harder, test and do it yourself, I'm sure you can manage that.
@@Kallebe6487 I'll point out that it is not how it is supposed to work. If someone claims that a build is "BROKEN" they should provide proofs that it is, which are pretty mid here. Working in "most content" is definitively not a high enough standard to claim a build being "BROKEN". It should not be up to the viewer to demonstrate it. Nor to spent hundreds of thousand of golds in material to craft it just to realize that it's pretty mid. Other content creators work by these standards, illustrating their builds in the right place. It's a rather ideological debate but hey, it should be considered as a path of progression... Or maybe this is not open to healthy criticism...
@@Sadoruroit could be broken just for easier content😅 Hack's builds always were for an "off-meta" solo builds for dungeons and world bosses. Personally for harder content I prefer builds from other people, but for some fun ideas and sets I always watch Hack) But yeah, I get your point and you are somewhat correct
Would it be possible to run the macabre vintage set and mix in some more vampire spells to set the theme more to a vampire skill set? I want to do a vampire focused nightblade but I'm finding it to be tricky.
Nice build brotha. Do you have an overland/solo type build for magplar ? Returning to the game after a long time. Getting familiar again and updating all my characters.
I've been running a Bloodknight for a while based mostly on this build since I returned when Wrothgar was available in the anniversary events. Knight's Errant and Bahara's curse with the Deep Slash as a main spammable for decent damage AOE cleave that heals me at the same time. But a ton of the build is about the blood magic. It's great fun but i haven't been able to figure out if i want to keep Bahara's set or swap it out... I don't have much of the Briarheart set yet and it's a pain to get those jewelry and weapons.
I am running venomous smite with macabre and stormfist, not sure how that fares to other builds but its pretty cool, plus i still got the fine tweaks to do but that has to wait till my crafting is maxed out
Hello Hack i quit eso more than a year ago because i was burned up with the state of pvp with the new chapter did things get better for pvp or same all?
Come back scribing has completely put a good spanner in the works and actually has helped with balancing issues.. plus we are getting a q4 new pvp system so may as well get prepared for it with meta gear and meta scribing skills
Non-Mythic build, Would Macabre Vintage, Crimson Twilight, and Earthgore be viable for the Blood Mage in standard play? (world bosses, dungeons, pve story) not looking for Trials or HM runs on this one
hey HTM, the magblade build looks nice, might try it out when i get gold road. I am feeling that the stam dk I'm using from a different content creator doesn't fit my playstyle with the micro-managing of almost like a bunch of skills. I like duel wielding but i feel the survivability is lackluster and I find myself spamming bloodthirsty a lot similar to the templar jab. I like the poison/disease the dragonknight uses but thinking utilizes fire would make it more dragon like... I want to use something that feels like a dragon was a knight and not being a tank or a mage. any ideas?
Switch from Stam dk to Magdk. Take 2h or duals on the front and fire staff on the back. Use Hexos ward set for huge damage shield on crit hits, some other "fire" Set like burning spellweave or generally other damage set like order's wrath or mother's sorrow. And ilambris, grothdarr or valkin scoria for monster set. You will have a lot of fire skills, a lot of burning and mag morph of venom claw heals you every tick. Other than that switch from flames of oblivion morph to cauterize for huge heals every 5 sec. Together with Hexos you will almost never die. So you will have big fire sword or two small fire swords, a lot of fire skills, and "knightly protection" from Hexos ward
@@wolfbanefist111 fire is more effective also because wall of fire skill deals more damage to burning enemies. But I like Stam dk with deadly set, just a poison assassin theme is also cool
Just replicated this build and found that the max health and max magicka total does not add up at all. Has something changed in the calculation since this build was created?
Okay, so.. after super analyzing every bit of information that I could, I came to the conclusion that the video shows a magicka enchantment on the heavy chestplate while the mythic build shows a health enchantment instead. Is this intentional or a mistake?
Sea Serpent Coil's snare is annoying. I rather be mobile at all times so I can use the build for easier content. Constantly mounting and running between world bosses and mirror incursions, for example. I considered Ring of the Wild Hunt, but it offers nothing of use in combat. Anyone have suggestions on which Mythic to replace Sea Serpent Coil with?
This is gonna sound strange and an odd place for a comment like this but I just suddenly had an idea for a new one-handed magic weapon archetype! One handed weapon like a scroll or wand that allows you to pre-cast or load skills at 20% effectiveness but can be charged to restore magicka as a fully charged staff attack would. This would also apply any buffs or debuffs the skill would normally apply to the caster/target, allowing for more skill-based builds and turning spam-ables into primary attacks. Imagine a tome wielding arcanist that can charge up a beam that does 20% normal damage but restores magicka and still applies the snare from its morph. And instead of an active skill line, you could spec into specific foci passives that allow multiple stored charges you can weave into skill rotations or even a stronger 30% damage charge or even outright dealing status effects based on the skill damage that you are using. Idk I’m not a developer but I love the idea of a spam-able skill build and it sucks that mages only have one viable option for pure magicka builds. And ZOS, if you’re listening, this is the perfect opportunity for more cosmetics people would actually pay for bc it’s a fun mechanic. It also builds onto the already-existing scribing system that encourages skill/build-crafting.
Very informative as usual. I have my very first nightblade, however, not working for magica. Let me ask you, Will you be able to make a Poison Nightblade?
Then there would be A shortage of ink. Because different classes need different scribed skills. At this time you can’t have more than one scribed skill per skill line. You can change it with ink but that would be to costly
is the buff from siphoning attacks really supposed to be active on the frontbar while it is only placed on the backbar? To me this looks like a lucky bug
@@HackTheMinotaur they do but not all of them. Mage light should work on both bars like inferno does. It doesnt. This is why NBs and DKs are the best classes for any content and any role. Because they get insane buffs on both bars when other classes dont.
@@HackTheMinotaur is this update available?

@@HackTheMinotaur Do you have any Velothi Ur Mage's Amulet builds (or comparable builds) that don't require light attack weaving and animation canceling? Light attack weaving builds hurt my hands.

@@HackTheMinotaur Absolutely I have. Been playing as a heavy attack Magicka sorcerer since High Isle, using Oakensoul, one piece of Slimecraw, Sergeant's Mail, and a flex set. But I'm always looking for other non-light attack weaving builds so I can have alternatives for when I feel like playing something different.
@@vland9900 pretty similar actually. You can run burning embers instead of swallow soul, eruption instead of twisting path, slot cauterize somewhere for an extra heal. Then use whip or wield soul for a spammable
