GIVEAWAY WINNER!🥳 OUR WINNER IS @AWESOME DUDE!!! Thank you all for participating. Im going to give them 48 hours to respond otherwise Ill draw another winner. THANK YOU ALL! 🙏 And stay tuned there will be more giveaways on future vids.
Hey just a quick update, when making this video I completely forgot about the changes to Maelstrom staff in update 35. It does NOT buff light attacks. HOWEVER that being said is still the best choice for this build. 🙂
This is perfect man! Just started my first night blade a few days ago to join some friends on their first play through. Loving it and will definitely end with something very similar to this
Xbox 3k crowns, I've been maining night blade since the game came out and it's constantly changing so im glad someone is paying attention and making builds based off the changes! Thanks man
I am bad on a Nightblade but I do enjoy watching other players play them. Great job on the build! I might try this out soon. 1 month of ESO plus if I win :)
I find myself always switching back & forth between nightblade & templar...this might make me switch to a nightblade again! Thanks for the video! PC NA High Isle
The Nightblade class is one of my favorites to play. I may need to set up this build. It looks to be the simplest build I've seen and the rotation looks pretty easy as well. It should be a lot of fun to play. PCNA 3K Crowns
I was thinking on creating a nightblade for some time now, but wasn't sure what to build. Now I know what I'm going for, thanks! PCEU 1 Month of ESO Plus
Hey great content! Been watching you on twitch for past few streams and love the content. I’ve been waiting for a steam sale to get this game but honestly watching your game play is killing me…. So I’ll probably buy the game later today since I can’t wait anymore. Keep up the great work and see you again over on twitch!
well I'm a noob who's been playing for only 2 months but not very regularly. Only chose these class because I enjoyed dual wielding rogues in other games and I liked the idea it is mixed with magic here and that you can have various hybrid classes. when I got more into the game I got totally overwhelmed realizing all the potential builds and possibilities of this class, just like me to chose one of most complicated ones for the start. but so much fun to play :) thanx for this video very helpful :) and THANX for the tip on "ghastly eye bowl" just what I needed!!!
Sustain in the gameplay sections looks like it relies heavily on heavy attacking when soloing. Only an extra ~450 recovery from your food with almost no cost reduction from only rocking two pieces of light armor seems really rough. I suspect you would get better damage out of swapping out pillar of nirn for a crafted order’s wrath in light armor for sustain and penetration (as well as a big boost in crit chance). You could also slot ele drain instead, giving you major breach and a bit more sustain, both of which will make your resources go a little further before running out. It really is worth it to not run out of magicka during the fight. Heavy attacks are usually a big loss in damage, and running out of resources is the easiest way to die
@@RyanIsIffy Yea,I feel like you may just be really comfortable sitting on the very edge of sustain. I did forget about the nightblade passive for getting mag and stam back for getting kills, though and didnt catch that part the first time through. I was just watching the gameplay closely and you were like always at 10% mag or less and had to heavy a few times during the roof phase in maelstrom. I was sooo stressed watching it lol
I'm defiantly going to try this build out. Unfortunately, my nightblade is a redgaurd race, but looking for something to daily dungeons with him. I struggle with the stam builds for nightblade, but this build looks awesome and super easy. Thanks man!! Great build. Oh, I play on EU PC and choice of price would be the crowns.
My pleasure, I mean you can run a redguard if you like, You might see a lil less damage, or struggle for resources from time to time. But its up to you. I say run whatever is the most fun to you. 🙂
@@RyanIsIffy It's mostly because I have the Redgaurd Nightblade that I'm not playing with because I struggle with weaving on him to keep resources up. It's mainly because of the main spam ability that is meta now. So he is mainly my crafter and gather now.
Hi Iffy ;) I never really understood the Nightblade-Class ... and I tried! But I think, I will give it another chance with this build! This video ist funny to watch an I can feel, how much you enjoy playing a Nightblade, it really motivates me, to try it once again! I have a small wish ... Could you please in you next videos show, where the skills and championship points are? Not everybody plays with the english client or understands english well enough to find them ... I am german and my english is pretty good, but even I have some difficulty in finding everything. It would be really helpful to see (for example) oh: thats the third skill in the siphoning line .... I am playing on PC EU and sometimes PC NA ... and if I win ( :) ) I would take the crowns! Thank you so much and CU
I have never made a nightblade, but this has inspired me to start one- very easy to follow, thank you! If I win I would like High Isle for PC. Thanks so much for the chance!
Hello Nice guide, very useful tips. I was just wondering if it's not better to go for dual wield in front bar for the passives and using deadly cloak instead of mirage ?
@Elephantoine for me its definitely between dual wield & inferno. Im definitely a meta chaser and so i tend to end up of dual wield when i know my tanks or fights. But if i want to relax I use an inferno. The difference is minimal between the 2.
Thank you so much! This is exactly what I've been needing as freshly returned player, and the video was the perfect blend of depth and brevity. Subbed! Edit: oh yeah, I forgot to ask if you have a recommendation for gear in the earlier game since I'm starting on a fresh account and it will be a minute before I get to veteran content again? PC 3k crowns
Wow thank you so much! Sure thing, the easiest gear to get your hands on early is 100% Order's Wrath, its a craftable set out of High Isle. It only requires 3 traits so its super easy to craft, OR you could even buy it. Im happy to craft you a set if you'd like just stop by the stream. I start stream 8pm EST Wed-Sat. Mixed with that, Hexos ward is in overland set so that can also just be picked up from chests, or killing delve and world bosses. 😀 I hope this helps any more questions please feel free to ask.
Definitely gonna try it on my breton nightblade, thanks for the build! Also if I win, I would like the High Isle chapter please PC EU. Good luck everybody!
PCNA and in order I would want the High Isle Code first choice, ESO plus next, 3K Crowns and then the Torchbug rounding out the final choice if the others are not available, I know how it goes, some codes go real fast.....
Good video, thank you! Just one question about the major expedition from path in combination with concealed weapon. As long as I stay in the path I don't lose the buff because it's up the whole time, so as the tooltip says I'd get the 10% buff as path runs out not while I stand inside the path. Am I misunderstanding something or is the tooltip just bad written?
Great question. So you get the 10% damage when major expedition runs out, what happens is when we stand in Path it keeps reapplying expidition which is effectively taking it off and reapplying the expidition which in turn keeps reapplying that 10% damage buff
Thanks, I agree. You will ALWAYS do more damage with daggers but not because crit chance. Daggers crit chance is less then 1% with this setup. I tested this because i was curious. The damage from daggers comes from different modifiers. Like we can run nirnhoned and run 2 enchantments. On a staff we are forced to run precise to keep the crit chance up. This means that HW wont proc more often (well if it does its a less then 1% chance more) because its based of critical damage.(which you should always have rolling from dots and weaving) However with daggers you will see increased damage but through other modifiers. Personally I run daggers for hard content. But for this and all my solo builds I really wanted to keep them to the mag/stam theme. In this case I went with staves. I find staves to be a little more friendly on learning to weave aswell and also allowing you to still do everything from range (like proc the bow). If you use this right, you shouldnt need better healing, As you should be topped off at all times however you can alway get better damage but thats only going to come from leaning into meta. So yes I agree but the reasons are a little different. Yes you will get more from daggers. Its meta. It wont proc HW more often. And weaving needs to be on point for both on a nightblade because everything relies on it. Thank you so much 🙂
@@RyanIsIffy Thanks for the reply ! I get what you're saying, I'll look into it. And I totally agree with you, staff is a better feeling than a mage with two daggers. Also : distance, helps a lot in the middle of a mechanic. I'll always prefer a good theme build, something really fun to play over a complicated min-maxed meta build which isn't fun or interesting. Great video, keep it up !
@@CharlesDero Thank you so much, I appreciate the kind words. Yeah Im now a play how you want guy haha, I did my days chasing meta, And while I still might for certain situations. In most content though I can hardly get a rotation off in a meta setup. Also switching gear setups from trash to bosses in dungeons just got way to sweaty way to quickly for me 😄 Ill always try keep my themes versatile though, thats one of the things I love in this current meta its a "If you wanna run daggers you can, just slot it" Im loving it atm. 🙂
I just switched to PC and decided to main a Magicka Nightblade this time, glad I found this video! If I win, I'd love to have High Isle for PC thank you!
I dont really like siphon attack! I put a mage guild skill on both bar (entropy for healing, and fire rune+shooting ult) but the fire rune will be swap if i need a solo target if the boss moves to much. Also, i want to know what do you think about lotus fan, i front bar it for the extra mobility witch is is to safly apply my trap in close range. It feels underated to me since its a solo target dot with aoe damage+ the extra crit chance
I think you can absolutely use it, the choice is yours really. Its about you and how you like to play. If I was to swap anything I'd swap blur/mirage for Sap Essence. A very nice AOE and great heal. With some great utility aswell. Like I said its your choice just gotta do what suits you. 😀
Ty for the build! This really helps my nb alot and most of the guides ive seen on yt are so long. 👌 for the giveaway im on psn and 3k crowns is my choice.
I'm kinda struggling with the sustain on here I think I need to use orders wrath over pillars as not all my Pillars of nirn had divines on it if I craft orders wrath should it be medium or light? Also I only have 18k health I do need some help on this haha also I'm a vampire Idk if that is bad for me as I wanted to be one.
So being Vamp will hurt the sustain but very minorly. I would personally go light or 5 light 2 medium. This will help increase sustain as well. If your using order's though I'd try get hexo's on the jewels if you can. This will give you more sustain with the light on the body. 🙂
Nice build man. I am perfecting my mag NB on PC EU. I would love to try Oakensoul ring, but I lack High Isle chapter. Therefore, that's the thing I would love to get.
pc na - high isle light attack weaving with swallow soul is something i have still not mastered at all. any tips or tricks or verification steps to look for that it is hitting properly?
Would it be possible to ask for a Nightblade tank w/ sword and shield or dual wield/bow? Everyone keeps saying they can't keep up, but your builds have worked out amazing so far, and I'd love to see if you can make a nb tank that can keep up with the best :3
If I could change one thing for VMA I'd drop shade (as it would just be running around the whole time not really doing anything) and replace it with caltrops.
Hey there, Sorry for the late reply, I'm live 24/7 atm so I'm a bit behind. The Chest is the Nighthollow Cuirass The Pants are the Silken Ring Greaves. Hope this helps 😀
I was wondering if this build could be used with dual wield on main hands and what would be the optimal pick for them. Still I enjoyed the video and learned alot thnx for the vid
Yes for sure, Dual wield is always preferred wherever you can. Optimal pick? like traits? I'd go main Nirnhoned with poison enchant and off hand would be charged with flame enchant.
Hat: Outlaw Hat Shuolders: Dremora Kynreeve Pauldrons Chest: Night Hollow Cuirass Hands: Silver Rose Gauntlets Waist: Xivkyn Sash Pants: Silken Ring Greaves Feet: Night Hollow Sabatons Staves are both Ancestral High Elf Staves Colours: Coldharbour Ash Black, Fire Drakes Flame Red, Obsidian Black Scintillating Scarlet. Hope this helps.🙂
Honestly almost ALL. here is a copy paste from someone else who asked. ahh no worries well all the passives from the 3 nightblade skill lines are a must have. They are fantastic. Next if your using inferno staves I highly suggest taking all passives. aslong as you are not using a ice staff or that can change. Other's that help it is the undaunted passives, fighter's guild passives, Psijic passive called "concentrated barrier" if you decide to use any mages guild those are good too. Always light and medium armour passives VERY IMPORTANT Medicinal use in the alchemy tree Honestly a good rule of thumb is if you are using the skill line in anyway via gear skills or anything like that then take all the passives if you can afford the skill points. Theres alot to them, I'm very sorry I didn't include this part in my video it was early in my learning process. later vids have them now but I will be sure to include it in the updated night blade video. I hope you enjoy the build. If you have any more questions please don't hesitate to ask. I'm actually live 24/7 atm on twitch and have been since Jan 1st hence no updated vids in a little bit. feel free to stop by and ask away
there is one on my to do list. The character is already done, Just got a couple to get out first. Hes called "The Dead Samarai" Im so excited for this build. 😀
It can still work, BUT that said, I am currently writing the script for an updated version of this build as I type this. The updated version will be out by next week and the written guide will be out by this weekend. :)
Hat: Outlaw Hat Shuolders: Dremora Kynreeve Pauldrons Chest: Night Hollow Cuirass Hands: Silver Rose Gauntlets Waist: Xivkyn Sash Pants: Silken Ring Greaves Feet: Night Hollow Sabatons Staves are both Ancestral High Elf Staves Colours: Coldharbour Ash Black, Fire Drakes Flame Red, Obsidian Black Scintillating Scarlet. Hope this Helps!🙂
Will power can work for sure, however you will only get the effect while on back bar. However it could be good as a *placeholder* to get you through vma. Another good piece could be trainee, the health bonus on the back bar could be a life saver. 🤔
Thank you so much! 🙏 Hat: Outlaw Hat Shuolders: Dremora Kynreeve Pauldrons Chest: Night Hollow Cuirass Hands: Silver Rose Gauntlets Waist: Xivkyn Sash Pants: Silken Ring Greaves Feet: Night Hollow Sabatons Staves are both Ancestral High Elf Staves Colours: Coldharbour Ash Black, Fire Drakes Flame Red, Obsidian Black Scintillating Scarlet. Happy Holidays!🙂
Honestly I think Order's Wrath could be really good, its craftable with 3 traits. Their are alot of options really but I'd start there. Hope this helps.
@@Pugerino Pillar's AOE is only 2 meters so its considered more of a single target damage. BUT if i was thinking AOE my brain would auto go to aegis caller. that set is really fun, however I'd drop hexos ward and replace it with something like order's wrath, gourmands something like that to balance it out. I'll be editing this build as necrom hits week 5 of pts so shouldn't be too long. then there will be a more up to date version.
I haven't tried this, and I'm sure it's super survival, but it really lacks penetration badly. It's a trade-off for survival, and you still get the Boost of penetration when you use an ultimate so you can time it for when you really need the damage, but it is definitely beneficial for a solo build to basically automatically survive while still doing enough damage to meet DPS checks. Also that changed concealed weapon and the fact that it counts when you reapply a new source of major Expedition is Mega disgusting!
I’m lvl 12 Nb and I don’t know what the hell hes talking about Should I just start fighting with a wand now to get all the skills ? And start using medium and light pieces to lvl them? I’m very confused
Hey so by wearing certain weights of gear ie light/medium etc. They will gain exp. As they level passives will unlock and can be acquired and they will increase based on how many pieces of that gear you have equipped at that time. As a level 12 though I just recommend trying everything. The game is HUGE and theres so much to explore and try, its next to impossible right out of the gate.
How do you find running this without mythics? Magblade was my main for years but got overtaken by magplar.. with sweeps change looking to get back into magblade again! Great build
I really enjoyed it without. Mythics can be amazing in the right situations, but having to swap mythics depending on content was a huge inspiration for my solo builds 🙂

Hope this helps!🙂
Trying it rn with a few tweaks ofc, thx for the great vid. A lil tip tho, Maelstrom Staff effect was nerfed and no longer grants light attack buff only raising the Wall's own damage to anything in it, pretty sure someone already caught it but just in case. ;) Izzy Sub xD... PC NA, ESO+
Haha I realised after I finished and was like damn! I got lost in the script haha. Thanks for pointing it out though. So many changes of late it slipped my mind

Hello
Nice guide, very useful tips. I was just wondering if it's not better to go for dual wield in front bar for the passives and using deadly cloak instead of mirage ?
You could absolutely! You will do more damage this way, you will lock yourself into melee though. 🙂
@@RyanIsIffy okay, i'm just restarting the game. What is your opinion on chosing between dual wield/two handed/destruction staff as a front bar ?
@Elephantoine for me its definitely between dual wield & inferno. Im definitely a meta chaser and so i tend to end up of dual wield when i know my tanks or fights. But if i want to relax I use an inferno. The difference is minimal between the 2.

I'm sorry if I missed something, but what's the point of having both the twisting path and channeled acceleration? They both give major expedition.
Channeled acceleration gives minor force as well for that full time increasing your critical damage by 10%
Good video, thank you! Just one question about the major expedition from path in combination with concealed weapon. As long as I stay in the path I don't lose the buff because it's up the whole time, so as the tooltip says I'd get the 10% buff as path runs out not while I stand inside the path.

Great ! Just a little note, I get better dps and healing with daggers. Also it procs HW more often. But you have to get real good at weaving
Thanks, I agree. You will ALWAYS do more damage with daggers but not because crit chance. Daggers crit chance is less then 1% with this setup. I tested this because i was curious. The damage from daggers comes from different modifiers. Like we can run nirnhoned and run 2 enchantments. On a staff we are forced to run precise to keep the crit chance up.

Personally I run daggers for hard content. But for this and all my solo builds I really wanted to keep them to the mag/stam theme. In this case I went with staves.
I find staves to be a little more friendly on learning to weave aswell and also allowing you to still do everything from range (like proc the bow).
If you use this right, you shouldnt need better healing, As you should be topped off at all times however you can alway get better damage but thats only going to come from leaning into meta.

Also, i want to know what do you think about lotus fan, i front bar it for the extra mobility witch is is to safly apply my trap in close range. It feels underated to me since its a solo target dot with aoe damage+ the extra crit chance
I think you can absolutely use it, the choice is yours really. Its about you and how you like to play. If I was to swap anything I'd swap blur/mirage for Sap Essence. A very nice AOE and great heal. With some great utility aswell.
Like I said its your choice just gotta do what suits you. 😀
@@RyanIsIffy I love that skill to. I run it on boss that have large stack of mob like the goblin king in wrotgar
This build looks nuts! 3k crowns on PC NA if I win. Cheers Iffy!
My pleasure!
Ty for the build! This really helps my nb alot and most of the guides ive seen on yt are so long. 👌 for the giveaway im on psn and 3k crowns is my choice.
Thank you so much! Im so glad it helps!🙏
I'm kinda struggling with the sustain on here I think I need to use orders wrath over pillars as not all my Pillars of nirn had divines on it if I craft orders wrath should it be medium or light? Also I only have 18k health I do need some help on this haha also I'm a vampire Idk if that is bad for me as I wanted to be one.
So being Vamp will hurt the sustain but very minorly. I would personally go light or 5 light 2 medium. This will help increase sustain as well. If your using order's though I'd try get hexo's on the jewels if you can. This will give you more sustain with the light on the body. 🙂
Nice build man. I am perfecting my mag NB on PC EU. I would love to try Oakensoul ring, but I lack High Isle chapter. Therefore, that's the thing I would love to get.
Thank you! 🙏 The oakensoul is a great mythic!
hi, what if i use maelstorm staff instead, another nirn?
You can absolutely do that! It would def benefit you. I believe I have it listed that way. It def is in the written guide.😀
Cool build Iffy thank you for sharing it. PCNA 3k crowns
Thank you 🙏
Nice build, PC NA 3k. I abuse dark vigor to get some crazy HP on a NB tank.
Hi! Nice build! Can I use stormfist instead, or much worse?
Stormfist will be great! Sorry for the late reply!
does anyone know what motifs for his nightblade cause he looks sick
Hey there, oh gosh it’s been so long but I might be able to dig it up for you.
@@RyanIsIffy Was wondering the same, which ones are they I wanna make my nightblade look cool aswell
pc na - high isle
light attack weaving with swallow soul is something i have still not mastered at all. any tips or tricks or verification steps to look for that it is hitting properly?
Absoloutley, I have an entire guide to mastering it.

What addons are you using? specially that timer above your spellbar?
That one is called Combat Metronome.
For a list of all my addons I have them all here categorized for you 😄

Would it be possible to ask for a Nightblade tank w/ sword and shield or dual wield/bow? Everyone keeps saying they can't keep up, but your builds have worked out amazing so far, and I'd love to see if you can make a nb tank that can keep up with the best :3
Aww I really appreciate the kind words, and sure thing I’ve got one on the website!
ryanisiffy.com/Build%20Pages/Nightblade/tankNB.html
This a good build for vMA? is there anything u would change for that specifically?
If I could change one thing for VMA I'd drop shade (as it would just be running around the whole time not really doing anything) and replace it with caltrops.
You sir have made me want to make a NB just an amazing video and build Kew up the good work my dude I’m on Xbox eu and would love some crowns
Thank you so much!🙏
Might I ask what styles the chest and legs are on your outfit?
Hey there, Sorry for the late reply, I'm live 24/7 atm so I'm a bit behind.
The Chest is the Nighthollow Cuirass
The Pants are the Silken Ring Greaves.
Hope this helps 😀
Fantastic gameplay! This build is crazy!!
PCNA 3k Crowns
Thank you so much, I think so haha, I love it. I have so much fun on it. I think more fun then when I was running meta
I was wondering if this build could be used with dual wield on main hands and what would be the optimal pick for them. Still I enjoyed the video and learned alot thnx for the vid
Yes for sure, Dual wield is always preferred wherever you can. Optimal pick? like traits? I'd go main Nirnhoned with poison enchant and off hand would be charged with flame enchant.
Interesting and complicated build, but i think pretty rewarding…thx for sharing
My pleasure!
This is a great video! Nightblades are the best! PC/NA High Isle
Thank you so much! 🙏 for sure my favourite.
If you don't have channeled acceleration, is there any other skill you could use in its place?
Yup, Barbed/lightweight Trap from the fighters guild skill line.

I'll have to try find it for you! I'll try remember
Thank you for all of your content and streaming, giveaway entry for PC/NA, High Isle if available...thank you and keep up the great work!
Thank you so much for the kind words!🙏
I'm going to try this build. 3K crowns PC EU
Melstrom staff doesn't increase light attack damage anymore, since U35.
Yeah I realised after thank you though.🙂
I decided to return to my night one, and I will definitely try this assembly) PC EU 3k Crowns)
NICE!!! I hope you enjoy 🙂
What passive skills should be used?
Honestly almost ALL. here is a copy paste from someone else who asked.
ahh no worries well all the passives from the 3 nightblade skill lines are a must have. They are fantastic.
Next if your using inferno staves I highly suggest taking all passives. aslong as you are not using a ice staff or that can change.
Other's that help it is the undaunted passives, fighter's guild passives,
Psijic passive called "concentrated barrier"
if you decide to use any mages guild those are good too.
Always light and medium armour passives
VERY IMPORTANT
Medicinal use in the alchemy tree
Honestly a good rule of thumb is if you are using the skill line in anyway via gear skills or anything like that then take all the passives if you can afford the skill points.
Theres alot to them, I'm very sorry I didn't include this part in my video it was early in my learning process. later vids have them now but I will be sure to include it in the updated night blade video.
I hope you enjoy the build.
If you have any more questions please don't hesitate to ask.
I'm actually live 24/7 atm on twitch and have been since Jan 1st hence no updated vids in a little bit. feel free to stop by and ask away
@@RyanIsIffy thanks for this i just started out and am trying the game out
@@thercurt Your very welcome! and welcome to the game! if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask!
Is there a sub set for Nirn until I can get it?
Order's Wrath :) Sorry for the late reply.
Here for a shot at the giveaway, but this makes me want to play magblade lol. PCNA HighIsle, TY!
Haha then my job here is done! 🙂
Would substituting nirn for kinras work with this
You could but it will do less damage and be much harder to keep good uptimes. 🙂
Very informative, thank you- ps4 NA *3k crowns
Would there be a full vampire build?
PCNA High Isle
there is one on my to do list. The character is already done, Just got a couple to get out first. Hes called "The Dead Samarai" Im so excited for this build. 😀
Love this build!
How practical is this build today, Ryan? Thank you!
It can still work, BUT that said, I am currently writing the script for an updated version of this build as I type this. The updated version will be out by next week and the written guide will be out by this weekend. :)
@@RyanIsIffyok I’ll keep an eye out for it. Haven’t seen a write up yet. Thanks!
@@mayorez70 Just did it today! 🙂
ryanisiffy.com/Build%20Pages/Nightblade/Solomagblade.html
@@RyanIsIffywhat are the combined scripts for Soulburst?
@@mayorez70 oh good eye! I forgot to put that in. It’s physical, lingering torment and intellect and endurance. 🙂
Im bad with NBs but I do enjoy watching them. Great job on the build. High Isle or Blackwood if I win :) Thank you.
Thanks so much!
now all i have to do is level up my Knight blade and then i can play this thank you Iffy and PC NA eso Plus lol
My pleasure!

Back bar alternative for Maelstrom.... willpower?
Will power can work for sure, however you will only get the effect while on back bar. However it could be good as a *placeholder* to get you through vma. Another good piece could be trainee, the health bonus on the back bar could be a life saver. 🤔
It's good but still missing something on magicka... Elements magic skills ?! Teso don't have too much but it's still grinding
almost every skill does exclusively magic damage. 🙂
Awesome video man! Also I gotta know, what style of armor is that? If u don't mind me askin 👀 happy holidays!

If you don’t have the dlc for pillar what’s another good sub?
Honestly I think Order's Wrath could be really good, its craftable with 3 traits. Their are alot of options really but I'd start there. Hope this helps.
@@RyanIsIffy any other sets that can do the aoe effect pillars does?
@@Pugerino Pillar's AOE is only 2 meters so its considered more of a single target damage. BUT if i was thinking AOE my brain would auto go to aegis caller. that set is really fun, however I'd drop hexos ward and replace it with something like order's wrath, gourmands something like that to balance it out.
I'll be editing this build as necrom hits week 5 of pts so shouldn't be too long. then there will be a more up to date version.
I haven't tried this, and I'm sure it's super survival, but it really lacks penetration badly. It's a trade-off for survival, and you still get the Boost of penetration when you use an ultimate so you can time it for when you really need the damage, but it is definitely beneficial for a solo build to basically automatically survive while still doing enough damage to meet DPS checks. Also that changed concealed weapon and the fact that it counts when you reapply a new source of major Expedition is Mega disgusting!
It clears any and all dps checks for solo content, when you use the build right the pen sky rockets. 🙂
I’m lvl 12 Nb and I don’t know what the hell hes talking about
Should I just start fighting with a wand now to get all the skills ? And start using medium and light pieces to lvl them? I’m very confused
Hey so by wearing certain weights of gear ie light/medium etc. They will gain exp. As they level passives will unlock and can be acquired and they will increase based on how many pieces of that gear you have equipped at that time.
As a level 12 though I just recommend trying everything. The game is HUGE and theres so much to explore and try, its next to impossible right out of the gate.
Great build! My nb is a wood elf but these days race should not matter too much I guess. Also i wouldn't mind winning the High Isle chapter 😉
Woodelf will be fine! You might suffer a little bit but will clear solo content very easily.
Do you have any mag dk build like this ?
Mag dk is in the works, got a couple infront of it though. Shouldnt be too long 🙂
@@RyanIsIffy ty
How do you find running this without mythics?
Magblade was my main for years but got overtaken by magplar.. with sweeps change looking to get back into magblade again! Great build
I really enjoyed it without. Mythics can be amazing in the right situations, but having to swap mythics depending on content was a huge inspiration for my solo builds 🙂
most fun to play, smooth shadow is the way!
pc eu, 3k crowns
PS4 NA here, would like to enter for the 3k crowns :)
This Magblade looks nasty. Gonna have to try this out and make a new character lol

Trying it rn with a few tweaks ofc, thx for the great vid. A lil tip tho, Maelstrom Staff effect was nerfed and no longer grants light attack buff only raising the Wall's own damage to anything in it, pretty sure someone already caught it but just in case. ;) Izzy Sub xD... PC NA, ESO+
Haha I realised after I finished and was like damn! I got lost in the script haha. Thanks for pointing it out though. So many changes of late it slipped my mind
I will give this build a try for sure. PC-NA - 3k Crowns
