Magicka Templar/Magicka Dragonknight OP builds.

This is a topic that most templars and mDKs will probably avoid,as those classes have builds that should not be revealed to the casual PvPers,but I am awfully curious:
Magicka Templar:
Some templars(Especially on non-CP campaigns)are flat out unkillable,with fairly good DPS,and I really need some insight as to what sets someone may run. Reactive armor is one guess,or Kagrenac's and Transmutation,but I need confirmation.Please help out a fellow solo player.
Magicka Dragonknight:
It's a common secret that many magicka DKs run Seducer/Trainee or Desert rose/Tava's Favour or finally with a more DPS approach BSW/Kagrenac's.
But I am having trouble deciding what truly is the best to use for such an underated class as the magDK. Any insights here aswell?
Thanks for any tips,

    I like Soulshine + Transmutation + Engine Guardian or Malubeth (5 heavy 2 light) for a very tanky magplar that can also DPS. You can go more offensive with Skoria or Grothdarr.

    Reactive + something + Malubeth is a common "unkillable" build setup. I'm not a fan, you end up with crap damage and you are just a troll tank against anyone decent.

    Troll tanks are very good in small group play, for grouping up the enemy, then the rest of the group comes in and bombs them. It is a very viable tactic but will not get you a wipe on a good group.
    If you encounter me, you will most likely be in a X vs 1 video.

    That's very true, but I see a lot of people playing them solo. Seemingly their objective is to simply survive and hope alliance mates show up to kill their opponents. I've run into people like this who don't even have attacks on their hotbar lol. Same goes for reactive permablock DK setups. Still, to each his own.

    The build I run for my magicka templar is pretty tanky and has a good amount of damage.
    Valkyn Skoria light head piece with infused and light shoulder piece divines.
    3 soulshine jewelry 2 soulshine armor pieces, chest and legs, with impen.
    3 spinners light pieces with impen.
    duel wield bar is 2 spinners swords with defensive trait.
    Sword and board bar is spinners sword with defensive trait and impen trait on shield.
    Tri stat enchants on head, chest, and legs and magicka enchants on the rest.

    I run defensive swords because with the combination of 30 cp in spell erosion, penetration from light armor passive, and penetration from spinners I have enough penetration to be able to run defensive trait on swords. The extra defense gives me about the same as wearing all heavy pieces but the benefits of 5 light pieces.

    I am also a breton vampire. With buffs I am over 30k spell resist and over 21k physical resist. Plus elusive mist and vampire passives I have pretty good defense.

    Everything is gold except jewelry and hoping the soulshine pieces show up in vendor soon. I have been saving for them.

    However, my build is very cp dependent for regen. On a regular campaign I have to run the max health with magicka regen drink. I would not recommend this build for a non-cp campaign.

    Templar:

    Cancer Build Stage 2 - Malubeth + Reactive + Transmutation - Basically will not die heal-bot and cheesus beam platform to support small and big groups.

    Cancer Build Stage 4 - Plague Doctors + Green Pact + Swarm Mother (Imperial is ideal) stack health as high as you can, although there are some varying degrees of thought when it comes to building one of these - some go for 50k min. health and focus on proc sets for more damage potential. You'll need quite a bit of regen.

    I would wait on Magdk there are alot of changes coming that may change the current meta.

    If you're running Reactive + Malubeth -setup on a non-CP campaign you're RIP. No resources, no sustain. So GGWP, you'll die in 10 seconds.

    For templar on non-CP, solo-play I run:
    5 Seducer - 2 Engine Guardian(Or Skoria, depends what I feel like) & 5 transmutation(2x rec, one spell dmg glyph). I might try Lich soon enough, but don't know. Lot of sustain-sets that can be used.

    As a templar, any heavy armor set you use with a decent health pool automatically makes you tanky because heavy armor is strong and has good synergy with templar. I think transmutation is overkill. Combine this with a sustain set like magicka furnace via rings+weapons and wala = tank + sustain + you can invest other resources in damage. I like Valkyn of monster set bonus because it actually hits the target I am jesus beaming.

    Non CP, I think seducer is the heavy set to go for.

    There is a lot good builds, what suits me best is 2 skoria, 5 blackrose, 5/4 spinners (defensive destro staff on back bar) with 32/32 magica stats.... Having ~35k hp, 35k spell and 30k phisical ressists, very good recource mangment and a looooot of dots this build can survive even most cancerous tripple stacked proc sets, while I can melt them with ease (almost every single offensive skill on my bars is counted as a dot so skoria procs like insane) I like to put more presure on survivabilty due to proc sets everywhere.
    Say no to Toxic Casuals!
    I am doing my best, but I am not a native speaker, sorry.

    Yes atro mundus. Two regen enchants. 2.3k spell damage unbuffed
    37k magicka and 1800 recovery plus restoring focus = pretty darn good sustain. Also 32k health (in cyrodil)

    Should add my kags is heavy impen.

    When malubeth goes off I drop a spear and go into sweeps and melt people while being nearly unkillable. Love soul shine.

    It's a good balance between tanky and dps

    What is apparently not revealed to casual players is that poison defeats any of the tanky setups. No resources, no tankiness.

    Going over 60-70k health doesn't have enough of a benefit. Plague doctor + trainee or plague doctor + durok's has good results. Swarm mother, aye.

    like I said there are several schools of thought regarding this particular build including the idea that builds like this just plain ruin the game. Regardless of that choose your disease cancer, full blown aids.... they operate off of the same concept: blazing shield. You can find a plethora of builds online with different variations for what works for a specific person.

    The only people that think any build is ruining the game are the people who can't adapt to changes in the meta or believe that ESO is an FPS.

    Granted, that encompasses a majority of the playerbase.

    But I am having trouble deciding what truly is the best to use for such an underated class as the magDK. Any insights here aswell?
    Thanks for any tips,

    Templar:

    Cancer Build Stage 2 - Malubeth + Reactive + Transmutation - Basically will not die heal-bot and cheesus beam platform to support small and big groups.

    Cancer Build Stage 4 - Plague Doctors + Green Pact + Swarm Mother (Imperial is ideal) stack health as high as you can, although there are some varying degrees of thought when it comes to building one of these - some go for 50k min. health and focus on proc sets for more damage potential. You'll need quite a bit of regen.

    I would wait on Magdk there are alot of changes coming that may change the current meta.


    Going over 60-70k health doesn't have enough of a benefit. Plague doctor + trainee or plague doctor + durok's has good results. Swarm mother, aye.

    like I said there are several schools of thought regarding this particular build including the idea that builds like this just plain ruin the game. Regardless of that choose your disease cancer, full blown aids.... they operate off of the same concept: blazing shield. You can find a plethora of builds online with different variations for what works for a specific person.

    The only people that think any build is ruining the game are the people who can't adapt to changes in the meta or believe that ESO is an FPS.

    Granted, that encompasses a majority of the playerbase.

    Without a doubt recent additions have made pvp pretty lame. But blazing shield is just funny like okay bruh I'm just gonna laugh and walk away if I run into that. Only good for zerging. To each their own. It looks kinda fun when someone walks through 20 EoTS though.

    I run 5 karg 5 emberplasem and 2 skoria on my templar 5h 2l. I like the extra stam reg. On frontbar i have s&b and destro on back. 1spelldamage 2 reg enchant. For me its a good mix of tanky, damage and substain. That gives me time to wait for brocken destro ulti. I play on cp campain and its hard to substain on no cp.

    Can't play with regen enchants - all 3 for damage. I've got 3600 spd on full buff and 39k magicka, but I still far behind stamina classes \ mag sorc (well, mdk and mbades can outdamage me, but mdks are easily purgable and mblade's sustainable damage is lower then stamina one).

    So my gameplay is always defensive. I can allow myself to play agressive only against really bad opponent. In big battles I don't even try to jab - aoe snares, roots, fps jumps seriously decrease my dps, so I switch to healer with beaming injured enemies. Is it just me or this is an actual mplar combat style?

    That's any group battle - stay in the rear and spam stuff for AP, skill... what skill?

    This is a topic that most templars and mDKs will probably avoid,as those classes have builds that should not be revealed to the casual PvPers,but I am awfully curious:
    Magicka Templar:
    Some templars(Especially on non-CP campaigns)are flat out unkillable,with fairly good DPS,and I really need some insight as to what sets someone may run. Reactive armor is one guess,or Kagrenac's and Transmutation,but I need confirmation.Please help out a fellow solo player.

    It's a common secret that many magicka DKs run Seducer/Trainee or Desert rose/Tava's Favour or finally with a more DPS approach BSW/Kagrenac's.

    What is apparently not revealed to casual players is that poison defeats any of the tanky setups. No resources, no tankiness.

    Second thread today I needed to make this point...

    You've never seen a blazing shield Templar build have you?
