    1p Dominahus is more of a PvP piece, but I guess 1.2K extra stamina doesn't hurt either if you are melee magicka and have to block/roll dodge some mechanics during trials.

    @Masel92 is the flame lash variant of this build dead?

    The offbalance cooldown looks like total BS.

    Yup. Might be though that other sets are better (acuity for example) on front bar only. That was just what i could throw on.

    Next update, i will put 5x elf bane (3 jewel (with transmute mana or food who give only magicka max)+ 2 armorpcs) + 5 BSW (staff lightning mainbar)+ vMA fire offbar + 2 illambris (cause zaan it's OP only for skeleton, if it proc in trash/adds or when boss immune, too many dps lost).
    With elf ban, we can do 3HA (and HA is our "spam skill" + is buff next update), destro will stay 10s *-*, and all AoE too, like fire vMA AoE, etc etc.

    We can take valkyn (1.5k dps) / grothdar (1.7k dps) /illambris (1.8k) / or zaan (2.5k)
    (the x.xk is seen by combat métrics with argonian race)

    Nono, they out a cooldown on flame lash and off-balance. Off-balance has a 5 second uptime and then a 15 second cooldown. flame lash ha a 3 second cooldown. In Dungeons the build is still fine. I haven't tried it in vMA for a month or two, but will probably do that when summerset launches to test it again.

    So you won't be able to spam flame lash on the boss anymore? I remember hitting bosses with 3 flame lashes in a row.

    This almost makes flame lash undesirable

    Nice, that 23K heavy attack tick is crazy! I've been playing him in DB, but don't like him as much as in CWC; looking forward to Summerset.
    Thanks for testing on the PTS!

    I'll do more testing. In a pure single target environment, elfbane +BSW might even outperform the above setup

    Back when IA used to buff every tick of heavy attacks it was BiS by quite a margin, but it gives you a buff that you get from other sources. On certain bosses however, it can be great. And it is definitely on the upper level of sets you can use. It gives you slayer, an additional critical bonus etc. Undaunted infiltrator buffs every tick and also buffs your back bar light attacks. Difficult to say, I'll test it when I get the chance.

    I just Did 39k on argonian (so 42k+ easy with altmer/dunmer)
    Let me just take pictures and i will put it here
  • LordGodzilla

    As I said, you can see my picture here :

    (I tried a lot of configuration. Can tell you some :
    Like 3MD + 1 heay kéna + 3 willpower + 5bsw+vma offbar,
    5 scaled mage + 5bsw + zaan + vMA staff,
    5 BSW + vMA staff + zaan + 5 destruction mastery with mundus max mana,
    I try elf bane, but is bad,
    etc etc)

    Badly, i don't find the queen's elegance for try
    5 elegance + 5 BSW + zaan + vMA

    Edit : Forget to say, i tried infused on jewelry, but is not the best.
    2 arcane + 1 bloodthirsty still better than 3 arcane.


    So final stuff for me :
    1524229354-magdk-ha-godzilla.png



    Here you can sill see my rotation, seems to be the same since Morrowind.
    (I don't use 10% critical buff 'cause horn put it on trials, so it's again a DPS buff)
    But you applied vulnerability minor for all mate in your group, so heal can put Jorvuld guidance + spc for example.
    So, how i don't know the name in english >

    I call my spell 1/2/3/4/5 for skill and O or M for offbar/Mainbar.
    la : Light attack
    HA : Heavy attack

    So, my skill >

    1509593173-1507262567-eso64-2017-10-06-05-44-14.png

    Bar 1 with shooting star is mainbar.

    So you begin before the fight with 5O > 5M > 4M > and begin :

    3M > swap bar > 2O > la > 1O > swap bar> 1M > la > 2M >HA > HA >
    3M> swap bar > 2O >la >5O > swap bar> 1M > la > 2M >HA > HA >

    So you do this twotime and reput the 4M.

    Use ult banner only when you put all DoT.
    Many time, the best moment to ult is the 3M (and don't do the 3M spell)


    For trashmob/pack

    Use with always the 4M up

    2O > 3O > 1O > 1M > 3M > HA > HA

    Use the 3O for interrupt (you can slot another interrupt spell for vHoF)
    The 4O is the free spell (shield for survive/chain for vMoL/ purge for vHoF etc)

    So i finally try, the 5 elegance + 5 BSW + zaan + vMA (buy it on cyrodiil, forget this way to get it)

    Is really bad !
    Same for 5 elegance + 5IA + zaan +vMA

    So, i tried 2 thing on 6M skeleton.
    (Keep in mind, i *** up some rotation by bug on vMA barskill (idk why) so i less between 0.300/0.400 dps)
    (Don't forget again, i'm argonian > altmer/dunmer be better)

    Illambris are less better than zaan for 1k dps.
    BUT, illambris is AoE/less cooldown and it got mana max on 1st pcs
    Remenber than zaan, got a 18s cooldown so, if it proc on immune phase or adds, you'll lost some dps.

    So, it's depend on yourself.


    The 2 Combat metrics parse so :

    Illambris :
    1524399011-illambris.png
    Zaan :
    1524399011-zaan.png

    I'm sorry, i forget to put it on Eng for post it. But i think you can understand picture + number so np :p

    Last thing wanna say.
    I tried 3 mundus >
    Mana / spelldmg / +% crit

    The spelldmg seems to be better for now.

    Have fun all, and see you on Tamriel !
    (Don't forget to be the one without out meta DK :blush: )

    I read somewhere the Elegance 5 piece bonus doesnt scale well and you dont actually get anything close to the 20% bonus?
  • LordGodzilla

    I don't know.

    All i see, is HA did same dmg.
    But all DoT are less Dmg cause we don't get the 515 (+20% with buff) spell dmg.

    The BSW is better cause he increase by 515 (spelldmg +20% buff) HA and DoTs (and zann/illambris proc)

    So is so "useless" for us to take elegance.

    Acuity + Illambris should be ideal in that case. Might also wanna try a shock enchant instead of the fire one (for vulnerability)
