    That's barrier, don't really use it, just for the extra magicka regen.

    While cloaked 3200 Spell damage, 1200 Magicka Regen. If I was a High Elf / Vamp which is recommended for this build you'd have closer to 1400-1500+ regen which is not bad. Stam regen is ~800-900.

    Which mundus stone you use? I think i would use Atronach for extra magicka regen.

    How you get 3200 spell damage while cloaked? I get around 2500. Or do you use potions as well (lately i am to lazy to get potions)

    I do wear only purple since i am poor these days :)

    I get 3200 with all spell damage armor sets, reduce cost on jewlery. I'm in all purple as well and use spell power pots or you can use entropy.

    Ah ok. I have 3 androitness and 4 martial which are V12. and 3 cyrodill which is V14. On the jewels i have magicka recovery but reduce cost is better these days.

    Ill try entropy to see if that works for me (im a magicka noob as i was stamine since the beginning)

    thanks for the advices.

    I try out new builds because i am getting a bit bored. Im out of money and out of AP and with the coming of 1.7 (and thus V16) i have to make a build now i enjoy and can use for a long time until they decide to make my gear again obsolete :)

    The whole idea of 1vX is that it looks like an impressive showcase of skill while in reality it's just a good player wrecking lesser players.

    While it's a bit sad that this guy, even after a year, still isn't bored of posting videos in which he wrecks total newbies, you have to admit they are at least mildly entertaining to watch.

    yup

    Just a theorycrafter's opinion on this setup.

    I prefer 4xCyro Light over 2xCyro and 2xWorm Cult (the other sets are the same). The reason is maths.

    2 extra legendary pieces of Cyro Light give me 1822 (911x2) max magicka. That gets boosted by the racial passive of High Elves or Bretons (Gift of Magnus) by 10%. Also by NB passive Magicka Flood by another 8% and also by Inner Light passive for another 7% (5% from the skill and another 2% by Magicka Controller passive). Finally, even in 7/7 light, you get an extra 2% Max Magicka from Undaunted Mettle passive.

    In total you get a boost of 27% to your Max Magicka. So your 1822 set bonus from Cyro Light is actually 1822 * 1.27 = 2313 extra max magicka

    Now, from a legendary v12 Worm Cult set you get 171 extra spell damage. With Major Sorcery (20%) and Master Assassin (10%) passive you get an extra 30% of that. So 171 x 1.3 = 222.

    Also remember 1 Spell Damage ≈ 10.46 Max Magica when it comes to damage. So the 2313 Max Magicka equates to:
    2313 / 10.46 = 221 spell damage.

    In other words, choosing Cyro Light over Worm Cult leaves you with almost exactly the same actual damage as before. Try it and see. On the other hand, an extra ~2.3k Max Magicka means more resources (therefore better sustain) and bigger shields like Harness Magicka and Healing Ward. So overall it's a better option imo.

    On all this we also have to consider how much easier it is to get an extra 2 pieces of Cyro Light which can either be bought for gold by an AP seller, or simply earned over 1 weeks PvP. Compare than to grinding v12 dungeons which is the only option for Worm Cult.

    Note: The only case where Worm Cult is actually better for damage is if you're attacking other vamps and get the extra 9% spell damage from Slayer passive. But even then you get 171 x 1.39 ≈ 238. So even in that case you only get an extra 17 spell damage *after buffs*, which is a miniscule bonus compared to what an extra 2.3k Max Magicka offers imo.

    Edit The 4 x Cyro set is definitely better for burst damage DW Sorcs, which is where I did my testing. You have more options to increase your max magicka even further (Bound Armor) and your max magicka also boosts your main defence mechanic (Hardened Ward) very well. Also Expert Mage passive is almost as good as NB's Master Assassin.

    The whole idea of 1vX is that it looks like an impressive showcase of skill while in reality it's just a good player wrecking lesser players.

    While it's a bit sad that this guy, even after a year, still isn't bored of posting videos in which he wrecks total newbies, you have to admit they are at least mildly entertaining to watch.

    By the way just to give you perspective. No one will ever be able to 1vX against solid players, hence why these players are considered solid players.

    I do defeat well known and skilled players, but out of mutual respect to them I don't make videos unless both of us agree to.

    interesting. so if i read between the lines what you just admitted is that you (and possibly all the other tryhards) who go out their way to work on these uber 1vX builds and then post videos for each other to back slap each other about is by your own admition, nothing more that using heaps of resources and time to actively make a build desined to pray on low lvl , under geared , under experienced players. For the purpose of self gratification.

    I wonder what that says about you as a person.

    still if i was self deluded enough to be convincing myself that i didn't need a job other than to try to scrounge money from gullible subscribers who dig that sort of thing on youtube, perhaps i'd need to do the same ....

    and this mutual respect for those other tryhards, i guess thats to keep the forum circle jerk going ? i guess if you all start posting vids of killing each other too many delicate ego's to be dented.. hell one read over how much bitching goes on after the wee tournaments you organise poves that point.

    Nah mate, I think you're reading too much into that.

    I fight good players every single day, but the best players I know are usually long time friends, guildies, and people I respect greatly. Does that mean I don't fight them? No. but posting a video of me killing them would be seen as a form of belittling them if I just showed highlights.

    Here is what a video looks like of me fighting arguably the best player I know:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwsxbnWe0J0

    Notice how it's a very long video with many fights going back and forth between us? That paints a fair picture.

    Now imagine if I threw my wins into a highlight video of me killing players such as aetcha,german,king richard, etc. That wouldn't paint an accurate pic of what goes on.

    As for 1vX, I'm clearly going against inexperienced players, that's the only way to 1vx, but is it fun/entertaining? yes, to many people, so I'll continue to do what is fun and entertaining and whenever I get a chance to go against great players and get the chance to paint a fair picture without insulting anyone, I'll do that.

    As for your petty jabs at me for doing youtube/twitch for a living, don't concern yourself with another man's income, didn't your parents teach you that?

    I'm going to attempt to pick through you're poorly written rant and read between the lines you wrote.

    Calling somebody a tryhard is just you admitting your own weakness. It's easier for you to hate and place blame on others that have been more successful then you. You lack the will to "try" and aren't willing to work "hard" for your goals. " For the purpose of self-gratification." Did it ever occur to you that making videos could just be a hobby for fun that just happens to also be a source of income?

    We all know that players that make 1vX videos often showcase the mass slaughter of newer, undergeared or inexperienced players. But let me ask you this, would you rather sit and watch several good players duke it out for 30+ minutes? Imagine if he uploaded every video of him fighting good players, his average video length would be at least 20 minutes. Do you know how much time it can take to make such long videos so often? There's alot of work that goes into recording, editing, rendering and then uploading videos. Hence why most players don't upload such extremely long videos. Most people won't sit and watch something so long without getting bored looking for something else to watch. Also there is that respect thing too, but you probably haven't done anything in game or in life to earn any respect. Hence why you hate on people who have worked to earn the respect of others.
