From the skill curve thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/elderscrollsonline/comments/yw4bw5/78k_dps_just_from_holding_down_left_click_build/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

I tried it and got 28k on the first, rough, try. Does require dungeon sets though.

I only play magicka builds, currently four of my characters have one bar Oakensoul set ups.

Only one have I actually given any thought to but all break 20k with ease on the 3 million dummy.

Two are Breton and two are Altmer

The one I gave some thought to but before Oakensoul was nerfed, wears Order's Wrath and Medusa and a one piece monster set that first bonus is also crit, using a lightning staff, Mundus is also crit.

This one is a Breton Templar and tbh I have no idea what cp's I have assigned but on the dummy you can drop some AOE's, hold down the left mouse button to continuosly heavy attack, refreshing the AOE's as needed and you will never run out of magicka and break 20k easily. 😀

My Breton Sorc pretty much the same but Mother's Sorrow instead of Medusa cos I already had it! 😀

Edit:- All armour is Divine, staff is Precise, Iirc at least two if not all jewelry is Bloodthirsty.

Here's 30k by literally just holding left click

Somebody asking this question probably doesn't have trial gear.

I'm sure a while ago someone posted a pet sorc / heavy lightning staff build doing at least 30k using a clothes iron to hold down the left mouse key. No special gear required.

I once got a harrowstorm achievement on my pet sorc after going AFK before it started and coming back once it finished. Don't know what they got up to while I was away but it was enough - I only realized what had happened when I noticed they'd completed the daily for me!

Like everyone said, "Lightning staff heavy attack build" is the way to go. While the other builds people mention deal more damage, here's an easy one-bar build without dungeon gear, trial gear, or Oakensoul Ring:

Gear

---

5x Order's Wrath (light armor). Crafted set.
5x Mother's Sorrow (overland set in Deshaan or guild traders)
2x monster set or Mythic of your choice. If you don't have those, use two pieces of a crafted set that gives you Critical Chance with only 2 pieces (Assassin's Guile, Law of Julianos, Hunding's Rage).

You want all divines and your lightning staff needs a Shock enchant and should be precise or sharpened.

Class

---

You need to get the buff called Empower (increases your heavy attack damage by 80%).

There are two classes with easy Empower:
- Magicka Templars get it by morphing Solar Flare into Solar Barrage (gives you Empower for 20 seconds).
- Magicka Dragonknights get it by morphing Molten Weapons into Molten Armaments (gives you Empower for 30 seconds).

Skills

---

If you only want to use one weapon bar, which is easier:

Templar: Radiant Destruction, Wall of Elements, Solar Barrage, Elemental Susceptibility, Camouflage Hunter, Crescent Sweep

Dragonknight: Noxious Breath, Wall of Elements, Molten Armaments, Eruption, Flames of Oblivion, Dragonknight Standard

Wall of Elements with a shock staff is necessary because it sets your enemy off-balance when they're concussed. Off balance (the swirly effect over an enemy's head) lasts for 7 seconds on an enemy and greatly increases their heavy attack damage taken. Your Shock enchant has a 40% chance to make the enemy concussed every 4 seconds, and any other shock damage you do has a small chance of it, too.

Buffs

---

Mundus Stone: The Shadow (+Critical Damage) or The Lover (+Penetration)

Dummy food (aka parse food): Tomato Garlic Chutney (+Max Magicka)

Blue slottable CP: +Light and Heavy attack damage, +AoE damage, +Damage over Time, +Critical Damage

Conclusion----

I'm pretty sure this will get someone to 20k. Empower does a lot of the work for you. Mother's Sorrow would be the best set to replace with dungeon or trial gear like Undaunted Infiltrator, Sergeant's Mail, or Infallible Aether. Maybe someone else can suggest improvements for a build without dungeon/trial gear or Mythics!

20K is not a high bar. Here's my magplar spamming Sweeps, then Radiant Glory on the dummy. 24K with Oakensoul. The only tricky part is maybe that I wove light attacks. On the other hand I didn't use my ultimate and was facing the skeleton. You should get more damage from behind, from using ultimate, from making a proper Oakensoul build. I reckon you can break 20K without light attacks.

As I just dropped Oakensoul into my regular two bar build, forgoing the Deadly Strike 5-piece bonus, I am not suggesting you run this exact build. This is just a demo:
