I was just thinking about trying something like this over the weekend. Perhaps this is a sign that I should.

I was actually going for something similar with my Templar and a 2H since the new changes to Medium Armor is um...Kinda nice with that 12% attack power for a 5pc. Mixed that two pieces of light and a set like The Air and Martial Knowledge.....Might actually pull off a decent melee/support DPS build.

Not so sure about Trials though since Templars = Full healers in those, which is only slightly upsetting.

Streak / Immovable... one of the most hated abilties in game after dragonblood spell reflect, talons , Standard of melting.

Stormcalling
Streak (morph of Bolt Escape) will no longer affect more than six targets, which was resulting in a much larger amount of Ultimate gain than intended.

BWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH Looks like Steel Tornado just became void.

unless youre staying out of somebody else mage light, NT. Still very viable. Ive a friend that has saved me more than a few times with that....

Interesting build! Nice job ^^

Interesting build! I will try something like this. But how do you get the 50% Crit or higher?

5 parts of medium armor 15%
+ two swords with precise (10%) = 25%
+ mundus stone thief (5%) = 30%
+ 4 pieces Night Mother's Gaze 4 pieces (8%) = 38%
+ 2 pieces Hundings Rage (4%) = 42%

42% !?

So what am I missing? o_o

Looks like a really fun build. Thanks for sharing.

Hate to disappoint you, but that build was invented back in closed beta one and half year ago by Atropos_Nyx, creator of FTC addon.
He showed that build on twitch even before the game launch.
And by being popular twitch streamer, as you can imagine a lot of ppl used that build right from the game start.

Nice build Deltia, glad ESO finally posted one of yours.

Thanks! I'd probably tweak it some now that I have played more but I still love it.

I switched my level 20 Wood Elf vamp sorcerer over to this build and I am loving it! I don't have any PVP skills to use so I put Silver Bolts in place of that and it is working well. Thanks for sharing this build! Love it!

So for a long while, I did the normal destruct/restro combo on my sorceror khajiit. It was okay, but I really wanted a little bit of a mix up. I had an alt DK that was pure warrior, and a templar that was already all magicka, so I wanted a mixture of both.

The wonderful thing about this is not only does my khajiit squeeze in a bit more critical due to racial perks, but now I get to whisper 'Thundercat, ***!' every time I turn her into an electric kitty.

EDIT: Huh. Apparently the time-honored battle cry of a childhood cartoon is censor-worthy.
