Magicka melee NB PvE build

Reeko

First off let me mention that i play on PS4 NA so i have no way to tell what my actual dps is. I just finished vdsa for the first time last night and have done Hel Ra several times now. Anyways this is the setup/build i have been using for a few weeks now and would like some input from more experianced endgame pve players.

Lets start with gear:
4 piece v14 marshal knowledge legendary with legendary max magicka
2 magnus gift (heavy chest, medium legs) v14 legendary with legendary max hp enchants
2 more magnus gift from DW legendary sharpened swords with Disease/Poison enchants
2 piece Adroitness (legendary belt, necklace) with max magicka for belt and 200 reduce cost on necklace
2 cyrodiil light ring v14 with 200 reduce cost enchants
1 magnus legendary resto staff infused with absorb magicka enchant

Attonach mundus stone

Werewolf

With max hp/magicka food this puts my stats to about:
Magicka 30-31k
Health 20-21k
Stamina 9k

Spell Damage 2355
Spell Crit 64%

Magicka regen 1100-ish
Health regen 500-ish
Stamina recovery 800-ish

Sorry i'm not on the game atm so don't know exact numbers.

My skill bars are:
DW

Concealed Weapon (i know funnel health may be better for sustain but i love melee too much!)
Impale
Inner Light
Sap Essence
Dark Cloak/Crippling Grasp (this is my flex spot)
Ultimate: Soul Harvest

Resto Staff

Healing Ward
Dampen Magicka
Funnel Health (so i can do range dps if needed)
Inner Light
Healing Springs/Relentless Focus (another flex spot)
Ultimate: Veil of Blades/Ice Comet (depending on situation)

Overview:
Keep sap and cripple up while light attack weaving concealed. Use harvest whenever its up. Use relentless when its up and reapply dampen before switching back. If i get low on magicka i heavy attack with resto with a funnel health inbetween.

I love magicka nb. I lvl'd from 1 to v14 as stamina and decided to give magicka a try. Never looked back! I mainly dps but can provide backup heals and i have even tanked vet city of ash and normal dsa with the right setup of gear/abilitys. I love how i can do it all. I feel i contribute more to a group than i did as stamina. Even pvp is more fun now! Lol

Anyways please let me know what you guys think and offer any advice!

Go to Tamariel Foundry and check out the night blade theory crafting. There is a build quite close to yours. Big difference is Funnel Health instead of concealed. For PvE I would go with Funnel. Also Don't think you need Werewolf. Won't get anything out if it now without slotting the ultimate. Finally, consider the combo of sap, siphoning attacks, and twisting path. Not sure how that plays out now with the IC but it used to be a very good AoE combo.

Thanks yeah i frequent Tamriel Foundry. I play on PS4 as i said so IC is not out so werewolf is still free! I PvP alot too is why i have it still. Thinking of switching to Vampire after IC drops.

If the group/trial calls for aoe i use siphon with sap. I took refreshing path morph cause i dabble in tanking. Lol

I thought about doing the same but i decided to go with magnus so i can craft heavy chest and med legs for undaunted passive.

Plus im gaining more sustain with max magicka and magicka regen.

This looks awesome. I'll have to try it. I just started a NB healer, so I'll test this out in solo content and if I ever run/switch over to the DPS role.

It's great solo! Just abuse cloak+concealed stun for cc and keep double take/dampen up. I have been able to solo most craglorn dailys with this build.
