5 x Vicious Death

2 x WillPower
Jewlery enchanted with Spell Damage

Run around spamming Inevitable Detonation whenever you see 5+ opponents.
Hide close to (but not too close to) other players so that you don't get blown up.
Make sure to keep Radiant MageLight for more Crit and the Empower buff (use it before each explosion).
Keep continuous attacks up. Keep Spell Power 20% buff up.
Keep whatever bonus damage buffs you have available up.
Slot an execute to kill players who just have enough mitigation to survive.

It takes no skill.

I's boring as all hell after the first 30 minutes of excitement.

It takes no skill.

The AP flows and the hate tells will flood your chat window.

It takes no skill.

This is the new AP farmer's dream.

It takes no skill.

There is nothing to differentiate a good player from any random person who can do the above.

Have I mentioned that it takes no skill?

I hate it.

    Solo spamming Mutagen hardly takes/took skill. 8 people stacking on @Crown spamming certain abilities only reflects the skill of the crown and how he/she keeps the group mobile/alive. The other 7 are mindlessly following hitting a couple of buttons.

    Thats what bad players did to solo farm AP, what @Crown is referring to is a totally different method.

    @SneaK You go spam mutagen solo, or get 8 people to stack and spam skills and see if you can make the AP that we do. Come back when you're ready to offer constructive conversation or intelligent criticism.

    Come'on now. Troll responses to a troll post man. I didn't think there was any intelligence expected in this thread. Not sure what kind of real feedback you're looking for with this post. Regardless, I will bow out cause I couldn't provide any feedback on this update, as I am still waiting on it to hit the console.

    The run something else... I'm trying a Pure pet build now. Not because it is good. (it's not) but because it's kinda fun, and it does take skill to pull off. x5 morkuldin, x2 maw of lok, 3 will power jewlery, 2 master staves. So as a sorc I got a sword summon, a daedroth summon, an atronoch summon, a twilight summon, and a scamp summon.... all while wearing the daedra baron costume.

    IS it any good?

    IT can kill. but I get superior kill counts doing just about anything else. but the point is it is fun in pvp. maybe you should try something off the wall. like a oblivion build?'

    Yes and no. If you have a DK you can pop Proxy, pop any spell damage buffs and then do dragon leap into draw essence/talons... it does work A LOT better on a NB though.

      Yeah it is slightly annoying to see the same enemies just around the next hill with their FC placed up. Sure much less horse riding but the fights tend to be so much longerr. One of the positive sides is that with so many survivability nerfs (purge, barrier, BOL) this was added to help groups.
