DottzGaming.com 's first build for ESO is now up! It is the build i use when i PvE on my magblade!

The remainder of the site's builds will be up within the next 2 weeks! i wrote this build up so that my writers would have a template to go off of, and show you guys what you can expect in terms of a build from our website. We will have builds for every single class/role except stamina templar at the moment.

    Out of curiosity, why not run Julianos legs, Maelstrom staff then any other staff?

    The goal of this build was to make it relatively easy to acquire in terms of the gear. For someone more experienced, that is 100% what i would recommend! But my goal was to keep the gear as easy to acquire as possible.
    Very Nice. Thanks For Sharing!

    Glad you enjoyed it!

    Been playing my MagBlade since launch so seen a lot of builds. The real "pro" of your work -- and thanks for contributing to the community -- is this text from your site:

    Possible Alteration: If you want to play a complete ranged version of this build, you can change Eye of the Storm to Elemental Rage, and swap out Grothdarr for Valkyn Skoria. I highly encourage you to run what is recommended though, and use Eye of the Storm and Grothdarr! It’s a fun playstyle that gets you up and close to the action!


    It's great to see emphasis on up and close builds for Magblades.

    It looks like a fun idea, I have steered away from Grothdarr since it was the only reason to be close up. But adding in EoTS will make it worthwhile.

    Really enjoying the style of this build compared to the ranged MagBlade.

    As a fresh level 50, I'm having a bit of an issue occasionally getting one shot while popping EotS, are there any ways to squeeze more survivablility in, or is it a matter of gaining more CP?

    Also, looking over the flame blossom set I wondered if swapping 5pc FB for julianos with the Grothdars would add another good proc for being up close and rolling out a bunch of AoE damage, have you tried it at all?

    I think if youre having an issue with getting just totally 1 shot, i would sub out that back bar inner light for an ability to give you more survivability OR instead of running harness magicka, run dampen magic. That way youll have a MUCH larger shield on you to prevent your character from getting totally rekt. And i havent because julianos, imo, is one of the most solid sets for a magicka DPS character. while Flame blossom seems like it could work, its pretty niche. I think Juli is the way to go for this.
    Do you do PvP guides?

    i do! This was my magblade build from last patch updated for this patch, check it out!
