Light Attack Weaving
Addons
Reach 50 Tips
Start ESO Off Right
Skills
Front Bar (Inferno Staff)
- Inner Light (Morph of Magelight | Skill line: Mages Guild) - slotting increases max magicka increase making us hit harder and provides critical buff.
- Burning Embers (Morph of Searing Strike | Skill line: Ardent Flame) - Damage over time that can be reapplied for a massive heal and feeds sustain via Combustion passive.
- Cauterize (Morph of Inferno | Skill line: Ardent Flame) – incredible burst heal that can be cast on or left running for heals every 5 seconds. I put this on the front in same position as my 3 key on back so no matter what bar I’m on, I have a survival skills.
- Molten Whip (Morph of Lava Whip | Skill line: Ardent Flame) - (morph of Lava Whip | Dragonknight/Ardent Flame skill line): main spammable single target attack that can be buffed by other Ardent Flame dots for a BIG WHIP!
- Engulfing Flames (Morph of Fiery Breath | Skill line: Ardent Flame) - (morph of Fiery Breath | Dragonknight/Ardent Flame skill line): Blast a fiery breath at enemies, dealing AOE flame damage over time.
- Flawless Dawnbreaker (Morph of Dawnbreaker | Skill line: Fighters Guild) - (morph of Dawnbreaker | Guild/Fighters skill line): reworked in latest update to give spell damage of 300 for 20 seconds and passive spell damage of 3% for slotting on our spammable bar.
Back Bar (Inferno Staff or Lighting for Cheap)
- Elemental Drain (Morph of Weakness to Elements | Skill line: Destruction Staff) – single target debuff used to strip armor and for resource sustain. This is your flex spot on your back bar. Trap beast is a good alternative.
- Cinder Storm (Morph of Ash Cloud | Skill line: Earthen Heart) – Extremely strong heal over time and with this morph you sacrifice damage. You use this because you lack constant heals per second but with this it’s no problem!
- Harness Magicka (Morph of Annulment | Skill line: Light Armor) - (morph of Annulment | Armor/Light armor skill line): A shield that absorbs damage for 6 seconds and helps you restore magicka when you take damage.
- Draw Essence (Morph of Inhale | Skill line: Draconic Power) – awesome back bar heal on demand that also does great AoE and cost less the more mobs around you.
- Unstable Wall Of Elements (Morph of Wall of Elements | Skill line: Destruction Staff) - Massive AoE damage that explodes and procs our Maelstrom weapon on our back bar use fire staff for optimal damage.
- Standard Of Might (Morph of Dragonknight Standard | Skill line: Ardent Flame) - Powerful damage over time ultimate that also applies major defile to enemies, decreasing their health recovery and healing received. Great to use this if you’re running low on resources.
