Guide

Build Explanation

A bit of justification for some choices and alternative options.

 

Munds & attributes:

  • Thief over Lover due to fact we build for additional 30% of crit damage and we have enough penetration with Veloth and two light peaces.
  • Balance your max magicka and health as you feel comfortable with.

 

Armor & weapons:

  • I have done the math and for me these weights and traits are optimum for being tanky and dealing damage.
  • All three weights for undaunted passive.
  • One piece of soulcleaver must be a head because it looks edgy af. Yes, style page hasn't dropped yet for me.
  • Lightning staff for direct damage buff which is major part of our damage and healing.
  • Frost staff for a shield and block bonus. Could be switched for fire staff for first few arcs.
  • Armor traits: Magicka or health. If you are rich, you can use prismatic on big pieces.
  • Front bar: Absorb Magicka for sustain or Shock for Concussion - both deal direct damage.

 

Skills:

  • One Piercing Perfection vision and you have no need to use major breach beside Tho'at Replicanum fights.
  • For Tho'at fight I would change Debilitate or Mirage to Elemental Drain. Choice is yours.
  • For first few arc you can use Inner Light or Camouflaged Hunter for Major Savagery/Prophecy + Minor Berserk with hunter or 5% magicka increase with light.

 

Champion points:

  • Master-at-Arms and Ironclad is a must.
  • Reaving Blows to boost our healing.
  • Deadly Aim or Duelist's Rebuff to choose. 

 

Potions & food:

  • Tri-stat is good and cheap way to go.
  • If you are brave enough you can use crit pots for Major Savagery/Prophecy with no stamina back.
  • Choose whatever food you are comfortable with. Personally I use Witchmother's Potent Brew.
