My Ultimate no proc, no cp, gank build!

Jord_Joe
Unfortunately because of my OCD , I deleted my main NB character, and today I'm here to share my little legacy as an NB ganker in NO-PROC NO-CP, I spent a few months researching and working to make a truly gank build for campaigns, ' 'NO PROC / CP'', and here it is, for anyone interested in ganks, (remembering that I don't know if this build works in campaigns with CP) stay well, and have fun!

Video of me in action with my build (Video on Google Drive): https://drive.google.com/file/d/11D2LHJEwAD7DXzD1tkzOz9fb0tT6mJ-I/view?usp=sharing

    The video would not load so I downloaded it and watched it from my computer. That's some real brutal ganking. :D
    Thank you for sharing your build. I enjoy playing magblade and I am always interested in how others are gearing their nightblades.
    Fan of playing magblade since 2015. (PC NA)

    That looks like a seriously nasty combo if you play it well.
    Just because you don't like the way something is doesn't necessarily make it wrong...

    Earn it.

    In many of the ganks you are not in combat before attacking. How does that work with your armor set?

    Why replenishing barrier? I assume the secondary ult is used as a "oh crap" button like on most gank builds so why not use precognition or temporal guard? They cost less ultimate, serve the same purpose, and create a gap between you are your chasers. Not the first ganker I have seen using that ult. I used to use scion, but the problem with those expensive "oh crap" buttons is that they are rarely usable in those "oh crap" situations due to the cost. I do kinda miss those rare moments where I was able to turn the entire situation around on my chasers, but it was just too rare to have that much ult when I needed it. I guess I personally would rather live 90% of the time I am caught off guard rather then have that slim once a campaign chance of fighting back while a ult buff is active.

    Other then that I think that is an excellent no proc no cp gank build.
    I wrote a poem that I titled, "The ganker's delight."

    As you lay upon the ground, cry not little pawn.
    The pain will pass as quickly as my blade did take you,
    but my delight will last and you will respawn.
    My heart simply cannot contain my joy, when I ply my trade.

    The fault lies with you, your skill was lacking.
    Now your salt is mine forever, can't you hear the laughing?
    Once you were so proud and now you are reduced to this.
    A miserable, loud deuced fool.

    With every tear you drip, with every excuse you let slip.
    All of your insecurities and worries bring a smile to my lip.
    From your despair I have ripped endless glories,
    but our affair is over now. Be afraid for I will return for more.

    I have received many titles, to my allies I am The sniper Emperor and Grand champion hero of the Pact. However these titles mean little to me, it is the ones given to me by my victims that I prefer. To them I am "Xv1er", "trash", "no balls", "zerger", "noob", "cringe", "no skill", "camper", "100% new", "the reason this game is dying", "pathetic", "a sack of piece of [snip]", "mediocre", "absolute inbred", "beyond a virgin", "ganky dork", "fat smelly 40yr old virgin", "little girl", "daddy", "exploiting loser", and every [snipped] word known to man.

    Where is 8k spell damage coming from? I feel like I am playing a different game sometimes because the wpn/spell damage numbers I see in peoples' builds I cannot seem to reach even if I copy their build lol. Feel like my game is broken.

    @Jord_Joe
    Both the ''true-sworn'' bonus set and the vampire passive ''strike from the shadows'' are for the benefit of the ''arterial burst'' primarily, because the ultimate ''soulhavester'' already has a high damage naturally, but if u are in combat because you are on groups, the ''true-sworn bonus set'' is a ''bonus'' to first hit ( soul haverster ultimate ).

    Exactly, and other bonus.

    It's just for regeneration, the cape consumes a lot of magick, and in certain situations I need to watch to find the best time to gank, generally just crouching isn't enough to keep me unnoticed, as with large groups of enemies, is better stay in the cloak.

    I'll explain how it works, the combo is as simple as possible, ''Ultimate, light attack, Arterial Burst'' if target is not death or a tanky, i use ''Sap Essence'' to finish, as usually if the combo if successful the target will be dead, or with very little health, ''sap essence'' is able to finish in these cases!

    Preparation:
    Potion for ''Major Sorcery''.
    ''Channeled Acceleration'' obviously for a ''Minor Force'' buff.
    ''Simmering Frenzy'' to decrease your health to 50% or less, to activate the maximum bonus from the ''true-sworn'' set and for the ''Arterial Burst'' skill bonuses (maximum 33% bonus damage on this skill, 16.5% at 50% health, and guaranteed critical hit under 50% health) and obviously for the bonus of 660 spell damage +10% for every second active.
    And obviously you have to be behind or to the side with your enemy for the ''Master Assassin'' passive to work, and for ''Camouflaged Hunter'' to give the ''Minor Berserker'' bonus.

    Combo:
    1- Always start with the ultimate ''Soul Havester'' because it's an important part of the combo, and it should always be critical because of the ''Shadowy Disguise'' skill, and applying the 20% bonus to the target.
    2- Light attack then to ''decrease'' the animation of the next skill and extra damage obviously coming from the attack itself, and enchantments, I use shock because it can apply ''Minor Vulnerability'' (and remembering that the damage of light attacks, enchantments, are being increased by the 20% on the target because ''Soul Havester" debuff).
    3- ''Arterial Burst'' Last or penultimate part of the combo, because you have 50% health or less, it will ALWAYS be critical, and its damage will be increased by up to 33% scaled proportionally with the lost life, that is, if you have exactly 50% of life, the bonus would be 16.5%, increasing more for the less life you have, adding to the 20% bonus obtained with the ''Soul Havester" and 5% from ''Minor Vulnerability'' and 5% from ''Minor Berserker'' you would have an approximate 46.5% increase in bonus damage or more in that skill.
    4- ''Sap Essence'' to finish, as I said. (I don't use ''Impale'' because the first reaction of someone being ganked is to try to roll dodge and ''Impale'' is a projectile and can be dodged, ''Sap Essence'' is an area skill , it can't be dodged, and it's instant, it's one of the few area skills that has 8 meters of range, which helps when you have a difference between latency!)

    Note: Critical damage is one of the keys to the functioning of the build as well.

    Equipment:
    The sets say for themselves, use Dual Wield for massive bonus on spell damage, and especially for the synergy it has with ''heartland conqueror'' using two different traits, giving you a great value in penetration, which you wouldn't get with a staff .

    Well, my English is horrible, but I hope all of you understood something about how it works, and how the build gets those numbers in the video...

    The set was working for me, after these updates I don't know anymore as I don't have this character anymore to test, the ''Titanborn'' set as far as I know is being used in no-proc and is working, and True-Sworn Follows the same mechanism with different attributes!

    Was anyone able to test True Sworn in no-CP, no Proc yet and can verify with certainty that it works in Cyrodill no proc? Thanks in advance. I'd rather not farm this if it doesn't work like TItanborn does there supposedly. This page/list doesn't show it but does show Titanborn.
