Deep breath or draw essence?

devilsTear · June 2016

Which is considered the better morph? Interrupt is nice but since this works better when attacked by multiple enemies the magicka refund sounds good too, any insights?

Would go with utility on that one. Cant actually hurt anyone with it so the interrupt would be better. If you jump into a pile you will die long before getting the return from the explosion imo.

I guess you're right, draw essences flame effect is nicer though

I've used both and think they're both equally useful, so I would base it upon whether your magicka sustain is fine or not, if it is, then deep breath. If you could really use the extra magicka, then draw essence.

(I agree with you on the flame effect being nicer though.)

Deep breath. If you need the Magicka sustain from draw essence your build isnt good then

No mag dks are free kills right now. Run with a group and use utility skills untill you can swap to heavy armor like elfbane. Im running 2 pc kena 4 elfbane 3 will 2 vd and works good. Get impen up to the 3k mark.

Haha I'm certainly not a free kill

I'm not the best but I do alright solo

just duelling is harder but I've won and I've lost, just looking for some tips.
I do have a set of elfbane but like light armor way better.

Nice for all those templars beaming the jesus at you from three directions at once, melee range be damned.

Elusive mist saves me from the beams

I almost never die to a Jesus beam and the times I die from it I would have probably died anyway. maybe I should mention i play on ps4, i imagine pc has better players

Usually when i die to radiant, there are one or more templars spamming it on me during the whole fight, killing me once my health drops below 30%. When someone spams other finishers it not such a problem, since I can just dodge them when I am low on health.

I play to win. Ive noticed mag dk is by far the hardest to win on. Dots get purged quickly, and even if they get low health the only thing too do is a physical ult or ask them nicely to stand in a little region of he11 you summoned for 250 ult. And before the l2p nazis hit me up, winning isnt stalemating a fight, or fighting for 3 minutes while either your team shows or theirs shows up to nuke the other. If boredom was an execute Mag dks would be unstoppable.

There needs to be a rock or something else there if one is getting hit a lot as a magicka dk or is only a matter of time when the hp drops low enough for radiant to start matter. Or, if there's just one spamming it from the distance, I slowly run towards that one to bring the fight there so I can interrupt it as necessary. Slowly, because I don't have a proper working gap closer... -.- Running there may of course mean having to increase the distance to a line of sight object, which in itself is dangerous...

And yep, of course beams aren't really dangerous to classes which rely on shields and roll dodging and mobility for defense, such as magicka sorc. They control where they fight and can protect their health well.

I use the interrupt morph for two reasons : the beam, and taking resources by myself is easier with it.

What a pretentious thing to say lmao. Nothing is wrong with a build if you like getting a bit of magicka back. Ugh. People ask for help and get an arrogant reply.
