Magicka Vampire Templar Build / Valkyn Skoria in PVP?

Does anyone use this in PVP? Is it effective? I heard that it has a proc chance as well as a cool down which makes it not proc too often.

Considering a Magicka Templar PVP (Primarily damage with some heals/group utility w/ Robes of Transmutaion) build and running this set, but have not tested it. Sounds like the new morph to Healing Ritual will include a DoT. The thought is between Puncturing Sweeps, Radiant Destruction, and Ritual of Retribution I would have several opportunities to proc the meteor. Does the cooldown apply to each target indivually (i.e. can it proc multiple times on multiple targets within the cooldown, or is it a universal cool down to all targets?)

Also considering races: Choosing between Altmer, Breton, Dunmer

Thought Process:

Dunmer:
PROS:
1) Resistance to flame as a vamp (Is Breton 2500 Spell Resist a better alternative?) How much flame resistance does Dunmer provide
2) Increased flame damage on Shooting Star and Skoria Procs (Not planning on running a destro staff).
3) 6% Stamina; Always useful in PVP for Break Free/Dodge Roll

CONS:
1) Flame resistance may be low and not worth it
2) Slightly less Max Magicka, and not utilizing too many Flame abilities to capitalize on 7% flame damage
3) Lack of resource management skills and less viable for potential healer


Breton:
PROS:
1) 10% Max Magicka
2) 2500 Spell Resist; A little tankier and would help reduce flame damage
3) 3% Cost Reduction; Slightly worse than Regen in my opinion, but helps manage regen

CONS:
1) No elemental damage increase that Dunmer/Altmer provides

High Elf:
PROS:
1) 10% Max Magicka
2) 4% Flame Damage; Better than breton but worse than Dunmer
3) 9% Magicka Regen

CONS:
1) Less mitigation

If the consensus is that Valkyn Skoria sucks, I will likely go Breton. If it is decent, I am having trouble deciding.

    Sounds pretty solid. My main is vamp magplar and sometimes I run skoria. If you keep a vampire bane and structured entropy on your target they get burned almost every 5-10 seconds.

    I run it on my magica templar.

    2 skoria
    5 kagernacs
    5 vicious death (jewellery and swords)
    2 seducer (sword and board)

    40k magica, 3200 buffed spell game, 48% crit.

    It works really well. It crits in pvp for 7k at times.

    It procs from:

    All aedric spear abilities (including toppling charge and javelin. I assume from burning light - must be counted as a DoT)
    Sweep procs it a lot
    Radiant oppression
    Entropy
    Ice comet
    Dawnbreaker

    Basically, my only offensive skill that doesn't proc it is dark flare.

    Not on pc so can't use PTS, but I assume puryfying Ritual and extended will next patch anthem cause damage too.

    Valkyn Skoria is good.

    Any of the three races you listed are viable for Templar. I think Altmer has the slight edge.

    Go altmer.

    Mibe is breton, which it was altmer though.

    Either one is better than dumner. Bit more sustain.

    So many people love to number crunch in this game, and its not bad! But in PvP, numbers don't mean quite as much unless you are maximizing a specific ability or set proc. So, here's what you do, do you want to support? Do you want to maximize aoe damage? Or small team 4v4? Each role requires a certain amount of defense, and damage or healing capability, so you have to deside your role, and desire your sets. Valkyn skoria is going to proc low numbers on a build with so much healing capability, maybe try bloodspawn instead for ult gain and resists? Or the healing set?

    It procs all the time on mine. I don't set up anything for it proc, templar just has a lit of skills that proc it.

    Plus templars have huge damage capability too.

    I just switched to it, running skoria, vd, and julianos; but you can be effective with different sets with it. Like they all said, it procs often. It's been the extra dmg needed vs other templars that are spamming bol.

    Puncturing sweeps, entropy, RO, vampires bane all proc it. On Xbox your controller vibrates when it procs too

    Every aedric spear ability does too. Toppling charge and javelin are on my pvp bars and proc it. Must be the burning light passive.

    Nice! I thought I saw it proc on a toppling charge. I just thought it was maybe an entropy tick.
