-Marauder-PVE/PVP Hybrid Build Idea (Destro/DW)
JamesDigriz
Soul Shriven
The idea was to create a hybrid build which is not pure magicka or stamina focused while still having a nice synergy. Since weapon crit seems to affect some of the templar class skills my aim was to take an advantage of it.
Build Links:
PVP Build
PVE Build
Radiant aura – it allows us to sustain longer and have useful passive
Biting Jabs – our main aoe skill and a great execute buffed with crit bonuses from dw.
Blazing Shield – great defensive skills which also does good damage
Blood Craze – cheap price, another useful dot.
Binding Javelin - another possible option which might possibly replace vampire’s bande due to synergy with dw.
Flawless Dawnbraker – passive which buffs our main damage skills.
Solar Disturbance - another possible ultimate
Flying Blade – high damage with snare and its ranged, probably best dw skill
Solar Barrage + Steel Tornado combo – probably one of the best aoe synergy, becomes even greater when targets are low health.
Vampire’s Bane – high damage with low magicka cost, keep dot up during the battle.
Toppling charge – gap closer, use weapon crit
Elemental Drain + Crushing Shock – another useful combo for single target dps.
Rapid Strikes + Blood Craze – swap it with Solar Barrage+Steel Tornado if you want DW to be more single target.
When target gets below 25% we swap to 2nd bar and spam 2 execute skills which is Biting Jabs + Steel Tornado/Flurry/Flying Blade.
Synergy:
Slaughter passive + DW skills = 20% more damage to low health targets which makes its a great execute.
Ruffian+Crushing Shock/Toppling Charge/Binding Javelin stun = 15% more damage to disabled targets (stunned, immobilized,silenced) which may make our next DW ability do mare damage.
Biting Jabs + Twin Blade Slunt = adds 5% crit to this ability with dw skills.
Both DW and Staff skills benefit from weapon damage. (Destro staff skill damage = [(Magika/20) + (weapon damage/1.9)] * Skill coefficent
Equipment:
1)5light/2medium Seducer 5 pieces bonus + Hunding Rage 4 pieces bonus: -13% spell cost reduce/+4% stamina recovery/+10% magicka recovery/+5% spell crit/+10% weapon crit – better magicka sustain and crit
2)5medium/2light Hunding Rage 5 +Seducer 4: -2%spell cost/+10% stamina recovery/+4% magicka recovery/+2%spell crit/+13% weapon crit/+24 weapon damage(affects staff skills) – more weapon damage and stamina sustain
Weapons: DW dual daggers with precise trait and fire staff.
Race choice: Dunmer, Breton, Altmer. My personal choice is dunmer since he have both stamina and magicka increased and boosted fire dmg/resist might be handy.
Conclusion:
This build brings some versatility to usual templar dps but might require some skill to make use of all the synergies. DW makes it a perfect choice to deal high damage to low health enemies and boost our execute abilities with crit, which other staff/staff builds lack of. Despite the fact that the first bar is all magicka skills you don’t need to raise spell damage since weapon damage works for both weapons.
Hope you enjoy this! Waiting for your feedback!
