What's your most proud build?

And why?

For me it is my magicka templar. It's a multipurpose build that can both heal and DPS, either with dedicated setups for both or a setup to allow for both at the same time. My guildmates have asked me what I'm running on it and are surprised when I tell them the different setups.

Malthorne

At launch I started with a 2hand/bow vampire sorc using wrecking blow, liquid lightning, venom arrow, devouring swarm, and clannfear. I think I was wearing vampire's kiss ..Lol

Had no clue, but it was a blast. Really enjoyed noobing it up with my friends in the pre-nerf vet zones while running this "build."

Volrion

Anything with Eye of the storm on the back bar...

Ghettokid

Orc

Vaoh

My extremely mobile DW Magicka Sorc.

Very unique, and incredibly powerful. As soon as procs/certain sets are nerfed and people need skill again I'll go back to being unstoppable like I was until halfway through Dark Brotherhood

Never seen another build like mine before.

I have 2 that I love. My Templar with 5 rattlecage, 5 kags, 2 mighty chudan, I'm always buffed so I can just focus on being offense. Here's stats.


My nightblade uses 5 black rose, 5 bone pirate tatters and maelstrom weapons (Bow) (Mual).
I also use a drink, magicka and stamina recovery
I love this set up. I never run out of stamina and I can cloak forever. Here's stats, major brutality, and heavy armor wrath passive.

I can play all three roles without changing anything. The only downside are all the jealous pug groups I get in. They don't like knowing that someone can do it all with mostly just heavy/light attacks so I often get kicked. Too bad they don't know how to play how they want, like I do.

During the first few open beta week-ends I played a Hybrid DK with Bow and and Restoration Staff who used only Earthen Heart Class abilities (it was meant to be a support build that does some dps but also buffs the group with skills like Molten Armaments and Fragmented Shield and can use the Restoration Staff to help with heals).

Before engaging in combat I used Molten Armaments for the 6 second crit boost which it gave back then, Fragmented Shield as defensive shield and I used only single-target attacks for damage
When I faced a group of 3 NPCs I knocked down the first one with Stone Giant, used Magnum Shot to disorient the second one for 5 seconds, then started attacking the 3rd one with Venom Arrow weaving (weaving was so much easier to do with the bow back then, especially with the old Haste trait that increase attack speed; Snipe was only good for ganking back then as it had a 3 second cast time). When the first enemy stood back up I knocked him down again with Stone Giant As Ultimate I used Magma Shell to survive in any situation For PvP, this build was so much fun to play in the beta For PvE, it was nice to complete veteran solo quest content which was a lot harder back then (VR 10 gargoyles and soul harvesters!) (unless you used an AoE lifeleech build which made AoE farming super-easy).

Now I have 10 characters (6 dps, 2 healers, 2 tanks) who are properly geared and skilled to do veteran dungeons efficiently (each with a unique build that is efficient and fun to play for me at the same time), but I'm still proudest of that very first build I played in open beta and the first weeks after launch

I like my Templar tank and heal the most.
People play one role at a time, but this build acts two roles, gives me the most challenge, and I can also employ 3 dps, which is fun. Done vet dungeons including DLC ones without people dying and burnt through fast. But people don't trust this build usually.

My set up is worm and spell power cure sets. Focus on unlimited mag regen and procs my team.

Front bar: sword and shield
magicka ranged taunt
purifying ritual to proc spc every second
Breath of life
Repentance - free heal and stamina back for everyone
Caltrops or channelled focus if boss is strong and I need extra magicka regen.
Ultimate is barrier, it also procs spc and protects team for 30 seconds.

Switched to back bar when I want to attack or finish off the boss. So we got 4 man attacking awesome.
Backbar: resto staff
Shards
Radiation oppression

I'm rather fond of my magicka bosmer nightblade healer
5x gossamer 5x alchemist 2x chokethorn.
He is my little bosmer spinner given everyone evasion and summoning a little strangler

I was really proud of my 5 Hulking 5 Spriggan & Two Max Stam 1 pcs.

All the way up until I got oneshot ganked by a NB.

Originally, I was proud of my Nightblade with Bow. However, I was new to the game and didn't know about the self-heals other than Health potions. I became frustrated after a while also when it would take me over an hour to get into a Dungeon only to get kicked upon arrival.

After that, I figured I'd go healer as a Templar. Seeing as how Templar could Heal, DPS, and Tank, I went with it as a Breton for the Magicka passives. Over time, I dropped my Heavy gear (only keeping the chest updated) and the Medium gear (but keeping the waist updated) and focused on being a Magicka DPS. My proud moment here was when I joined a dungeon as a Healer and was asked if I could dps. Responding, I almost freaked out because I was saying to myself, "I have no Medium gear." Later realizing my Light gear was all I needed to be a DPS and Healer, I was happy. Clutch time on the boss saw me and the other DPS alive, and I was able to squeeze out every bit of Magicka to keep him alive.

Recently, however, I began to miss my Khajiit Nightblade of the strength that my first character was a Khajiit Nightblade with Bow. I normally would NEVER create two characters in ANY game, but I wanted my Khajiit. Was going to spend the currency to re-roll my race, but I haven't researched a Khajiit Magicka DPS. I also wanted to keep it simple with stealth and Dual Wield Daggers. That said, I recreated my character. Currently Lv12 Khajiit Stamina Nightblade. The weird thing is that I've done more stuff on this character than my Main Character. I'm proud of my new character because she resembles my Final Fantasy XI and Final Fantasy XIV characters. I like how she kills stuff easy, especially since I have the Blade of Woe.

Jim_Berry

I see a lot of Magicka-base characters in this thread, either Templar or Sorc. No love for the Nightblades or DK much?

RavenSworn

A Nord, magicka sorcerer healer. being able to take hits as well as heal them and also, NORDS.

What are they, twins?

I don't have a build I'm proud of, I'm still in the process of "making do with what I can get". My main crafter is still researching traits, and I've just recently been more active in doing Pledges and Dungeon runs. I've managed to get a 2pc Selene on my NB and a 2pc Ilambris on my MagSorc, but I'm still relying on sets like Julianos, Hundings etc cause the better sets that are bind on pickup are too difficult for me to farm on my own.

Ch4mpTW

It'd probably have to be my MagSorc (pet build), as I've accomplished the most with it. I've done everything from solo'ing dungeons on veteran difficulty (with hard active), to obtaining Flawless Conqueror with it. Plus everything inbetween.

Ironically enough, they're also my main and crafter. >_>

Iselin

My stamsorc way back before it was cool to be a stamsorc... friends used to call it my "weird build"

SolarCat02

My main, a Dragonknight healer. She gets comments, but has converted most of the unbelievers who have run with her. One of our tanks, originally wary of Dragonknight healers after trying to build one himself, now specifically requests her for veteran dungeon runs.

In veteran Trials she is usually full dedicated buff-healer (except for the upstairs boss in Hel Ra where typically she also helps interrupts with Deep Breath and Crushing Shock), while in dungeons she contributes quite a bit of AoE damage during trash mobs.

She is very much a "Swiss Army Knife" of skills and even gear, adjusting to the group as needed. I am currently working on adding a Maelstrom Arena version to her list of build options as well, collecting the gear I will need for that.

I have eight characters, but she is and always will be my favorite.

raasdal

For PvP; My Health Regen Stamsorc. Because it took real theorycrafting and testing to put together.

For PvE my Magicka Sorc Tank. Was fun tanking VWGT without ever blocking.

FrostFallFox

Vampire Magicka Nightblade tank! Basic sets for group buffs like Ebon/Tavas/Sentinel , but my favorite part was using a restoration staff and invigorating drain for all of that ultimate gain! I tanked Vet Velidreth without a healer so I was happy.

Hey I want to try DK build as well, so how do you heal in group dungeons? Just vigor? Or do you use resto?

Been experimenting a lot with my Imperial DK. Only recently that I decided to try and change some skills, try another combination of them. I had gone hybrid with skills and attributes, but decided to try out magicka set up. Gotta say Im happy with the result. Pretty happy with my sorcerer to.

I can't hear you over my all of my awesomeness. Try cupping your hands when you yelling up the mountain.

100k dps... soon

My favourite build right now is a happy accident I am trying to improve deliberately. I put my khajiit stam sorc into the gearset my nb used back when wrothgar dlc was released.

5 tbs- shadow and thief
5 briar heart
2 molag kena

Currently using purple swords on both bars, but will change to dual daggers and 1h + shield when my nirn research completes. I had cp 150 briar heart when I solo'd my first group dungeon, so I was surprised when I got

Nearly 100,000 damage per second against a large mob. I am probably going to write up the build because I am so proud of it.

AOE Rotation- Crit surge, put down hurricane, blade cloak, caltrops and maybe trap beast, streak into the middle of the mob and proc kena. Briarthorns and kena add huge damage to dots, and all crits heal because of briarthorns (crit surge helps too). Spam steel tornado because the fight will only be a couple of seconds.

I still need the undaunted passives and to get better at using warhorn and trap beast for the increased crit damage, but will easily get over 100k dps against a large enough pve mob - entirely solo. I am not that bothered about the proc set nerf.

cpuScientist

My PugSaver. It's a tank/heal/dps hybrid made specifically to carry pug groups and keep them feeling useful. If the DPS is OK I stick mainly to ranking and healing, if not I throw in about 12-18k DPS while tanking and healing. It is fun to run with pugs as I know I can solo any of the vet content save maybe for some of the dlc dungeons. So it adds a layer of fun when I don't wanna just burn through them with my guild mates. It's great fun and I suggest everyone makes a hybrid for fun, if they are getting bored with super easy content.
