Guide

Build Explaination
This guide is written in German.

Skill-Erklärung für die Solo Magicka Nightblade:

  • Harness Magicka: Activate this if you are expecting to get a huge punch in the face (Boss Heavy Attack for example). This will bolster your health.
  • Merciless Resolve: Powerful damage proc and also increases your critical damage.
  • Swallow Soul: Your main spammable, deals very good damage and also heals you at the same time.
  • Sap Essence: Your main AoE damage ability, deals a lot of damage and also heals you at the same time for a lot! Also grants Major Sorcery.
  • Inner Light: Increases max magicka and spell critical.
  • Incapacitating Strike: 20% damage buff on activation on the target. You also gain Reave, gaining 100 Magicka and Stamina every time you do a Light Attack on an enemy with a debuff. (You could use the mother morph, but the reason we picked this one is that it gives a nice sustain boost!)
  • Unstable Wall of Elements: Your main AoE ability, has to be on the ground all the time.
  • Dark Shade: Deals good damage and reduces enemy damage.
  • Elemental Susceptibility: Apply this on big monsters and bosses, applies debuff to enemies increasing your damage and also applies status effects.
  • Siphoning Attacks: This is your main sustain tool, always make sure to activate this once it runs! If you are unsure, you could put this on the front bar, that way you won’t forget it.
  • Consuming Trap: Single Target DoT that you need to keep on the enemy, every time someone dies affected by this, you gain a huge amount of resources.
  • Soul Tether: You can use this on trash packs, huge AoE damage ultimate that also gives you a big heal!

Rotation

 

If you want to learn more about weaving light attacks, you can check out this guide: “Weaving Beginner Guide”.

For this kind of setup, there is not a fixed rotation at all, your main goal should always be to stay alive and you do that by keeping up your shield and healing abilities.

  1. Keep up your DoTs, you have 4 DoTs that should always be on the boss.
  2. Unstable Wall of Elements, Dark Shade and Consuming Trap.
  3. In addition to that, you also have to keep going with your debuffs and buffs that you place on enemies and you.
  4. Once that is taken care of, you can start using your spammable Swallow Soul and your semi spammable Merciless Resolve.

If you want a fixed rotation for this setup then you have to do the following:

 

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Before the fight: Activate Merciless Resolve, Dark Shade, Siphoning Attacks and Elemental Susceptibility before the fight starts.

Unstable Wall of Elements > LA > Consuming Trap > Weapon Swap

5x LA > Swallow Soul > Restart

  • When the Spectral Bow procs from Merciless Resolve, activate this instead of Swallow Soul.
  • If any of the long buffs run out, re-activate these instead of using Swallow Soul.
  • Sap Essence is only used in fights with several enemies or if you need to keep up your Major Sorcery buff (if you don’t have Spell Power Potions).

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

Bad Habits

  • A lot of people have a bad habit of forgetting their back bar abilities, you should really focus on always weapon swapping enough to re-apply the DoTs and buffs on your back bar.
  • Keeping up your shield 24/7 is key to this build, that way your health can never really be damaged. Easy to see when you watch some of my gameplay that I keep up the shield all the time.
  • Always keep moving your character around, if you just stand on the ground you take unnecessary damage from melee monsters, that damage can easily be avoided by kiting (running away backward from the enemy and still dealing damage to him.
  • Not keeping up your resource management abilities causes you to lose a lot of sustain, so make sure to always keep them up!
