@Ishammael I wish! Dragonblood needs to be better for magicka without making stam op. And what exactly doesn't work about chains?
What does 5 pieces light armor provides versus 7 pieces:
-15% reduce cost of magicka spells (instead of 21% with 7 light pieces)
-20% increase magicka recovery (instead of 28% with 7 lights)
-1815 Increase of spell resistance (Instead of 2541 with 7 lights)
So what is the trade off for giving 6% reduce cost, 8% recovery and 726 spell resistance to go with 2 mediums pieces?
-Increases Stamina Recovery by 8%
-Reduces the Stamina cost of abilities by 6%
-Reduce cost of sneaking by 14%
-Reduce Size of Detection by 10%
-Increase movement speed while sprinting by 6%
-Reduce cost of Dodge Roll by 8%
-Better overall armor since there is a decent difference between light and medium.
-PLUS, if you have Undaunted level 9, you get 4% increase max Stamina, Magicka and Health
For an all around stealth build (if that's what you are going for)... that 14% reduce sneaking cost and 10% reduced detection size sounds pretty interesting!
@vamp_emily this is for only PvP, yes? Hmmmm nah we need to make some changes to this setup.
What mundus will you be using? If whatever value you get from two divines is really worth more that the two impen you'll be losing, there's a problem. The only time divines is proper on a mageblade is when doing a straight bomb blade with apprentice, but then you'd use all divines, not just two. Mageblades use low regen, so you should be able to reach an adequate amount without giving up impen. Like I can't emphasize enough how important impen is. Mageblades heal tank with hots, so impen gives you a ton of effective health.
Julianos works, but crit is underwhelming in PvP. Between impen, resistant, transmitation, and shields, you'll be better off just ignoring the stat altogether unless you're looking to gank people without their buffs up.
Using two 2pc bonuses from 5pc sets is inefficient. I can tell you picked Julianos first for the damage then added the 2pc kags and seducer in for some tankiness and regen. It's a fine thought process, but the resulting build gives up an entire set bonus. We'll get you straightened out.
For general PvP with your lvl 30 mageblade, I recommend 5 Kag's + 4 Magnus, all impen. 7 light will leave you feeling squishy. Do you have light armor passives specced yet? If so, run 6 light 1 heavy or 5-2. You need some heavy for resistances. If you don't have light armor passives yet, then run 7 heavy. Use atronach or apprentice mundus. You'll have higher damage and more sustain using that build without losing any durability.
Also remember you'll have jewelry. Finding lowbie arcane jewelry isn't terribly hard. Make some regen or damage glyphs for those, and you'll get a ton of stats.
