Hi,
You're a Templar ? Bad at aiming ? Bad at sustain ? Having trouble going through solo quests ?
I have the definitive build for you !
Pros: very simple rotation, access to most major and minor buffs, almost automatic damage and self-heal, great in solo PvE.
Cons: very simple rotation, requires you to be at close range to work, forget about steath gameplay, won't save you against trained PvP player.
Gear:
- Iceheart monster set (heavy head, medium shoulders)
(1 item) Adds 833 Spell Critical (2 items) When you deal Critical Damage, you have a 20% chance to gain a damage shield that absorbs 5000 damage for 6 seconds. While the damage shield holds, you deal 500 Frost Damage to all enemies within 5 meters of you every 1 second. This effect can occur once every 6 seconds.
Found in vet Direfrost keep dungeon, this is the hardest part.
- Overwhelming Surge set (light)
(2 items) Adds 1096 Maximum Magicka (3 items) Adds 129 Spell Damage (4 items) Adds 129 Spell Damage
(5 items) When you deal damage with a Class ability, you have a 33% chance to surround yourself with a torrent that deals 1040 Shock Damage to enemies within 8 meters of you every 1 second for 6 seconds. 15% of the damage you deal this way is restored to you as Magicka. This effect can occur every 6 seconds.
Found in Tempest island. Will require a bit of farming.
- Light of Cyrodiil set (light)
(2 items) Adds 129 Spell Damage (3 items) Adds 1096 Maximum Magicka (4 items) Adds 1096 Maximum Magicka
(5 items) While you are casting or channeling an ability, your damage taken is reduced by 15%. When you are interrupted, your next Magicka Ability will cost no Magicka.
Found in Cyrodiil, Cropsford gear vendor, or guild stores. This is the easiest part.
Traits as you see fit, doesn't really matter. Enchants Max Magicka or Max Health if you feel you need more.
Skills:
Front bar: use Shock staff for AoE buff.
1) Puncturing sweep, this is your main spammable, gives Minor protection, heals, and procs all your sets.
Basically, every 6s you get automatically for 6s a shield, a Frost AoE, a Shock AoE, and Magicka recovery.
On top of that, you take less damage as long as you use Sweeps, and if you ever get interrupted, next Sweep is free.
2) Toppling charge, use it to change target, close gaps, and stun. Stay close to targets.
3) Solar barrage, generate ultimate, enable Minor Sorcery, deals damage around on top of it.
4) Radiant aura, free recovery ! Use it before your first attack to improve your sustain.
5) Magelight, gives Major Prophecy for just being there.
Ultimate: Crescent Sweep, it's cheap and hits hard. Use on big baddies.
Back bar: use Restoration staff, or whatever matches the flex skills you want. Swap every 20s to keep buffs.
1) Degeneration, gives Major Sorcery, decent DoT.
2) Extended ritual, heal, DoT, and purge.
3) Channeled focus, Major Resolve and extra recovery.
The remaining 3 slots are flexible, use whatever you see fit.
Other recommandations:
Race: use whatever with magicka buff: Argonian, Breton, Dark elf, High elf, Khajiit, all are good options.
Being a Vampire can be nice (even more recovery and damage reduction !). Werewolf has not benefit.
Mundus: Lover by default, best for solo pve.
Potions: use whatever that gives Magicka back.
Food/drinks: Priorize Max Magicka, Max Health, Magicka recovery. In this order.
