Asylum sword and board uses?

If you are going to say its crap please dont post. Ive had some luck with a reflector build but can seem to get the physical resist i need in pvp (light armor mostly)

I was dueling as a mDK in PTS . Was using 5 piece Shacklebreaker on armor , all heavy and impenetrable . 2 Skoria , all heavy and impenetrable . 5 Lich on front bar , double swords and Asylum 1h/s on back bar for Shield Wall Ultimate and popping the reflect skill right after I use an Ultimate or whenever my Stamina is high enough to cast it safely while fighting a Magicka class .

I was mostly successful unless my opponent was an insanely good player or simply has a cancer unkillable build .

Must say , it gives insane boost to Magicka sustain . It requires you to spend stamina but that's a good way to swap your Stamina to Magicka and as you know , if you choose the Discipline Wall morph , your Defensive Posture will be free to cast . Can spam it until your Ultimate is over and you'll be gaining a lot of magicka back until Ultimate is over . Pretty neat .

Definitely a good weapon choice , gives a bit more than 300 Magicka Recovery if you calculate the Magicka return and assume it will go with the full duration of the Defensive Posture .

I used nikulas, blood spawn, and oblivion's edge in light. reached 3000k spell damage and for only using it in pvp for an hour i felt pretty unkillable with damn good damage but it seems something was wrong with fossilize in pvp so i stopped. With nikulas, defensive posture, wings, and the 1h ult i found that i had sustain and only stam builds could bring me down. Oblivion's edge could easily be replace here for something perceived as better. I was doing more 1vx type play with it but the intentions of the build were for pvp raid groups.

shacklebreaker and lich looks pretty good there, how was your damage?

Dual swords makes it quite high . My damage was pretty high , considering I was playing on PTS with 250+ ping . If you are lucky enough to get a Flames of Oblivion + Skoria + Power Lash combo while keeping your DoTs up (Burning Embers , Engulfing Flames , Burning Talons) , that's an insane burst , will probably drop anyone to really low health who is not extremely tanky if it doesn't kill . Can always use Leap to guarantee a kill but I always play safe and use my Ultimate for the Asylum Magicka Return with Shield Discipline . Make sure you have a Shock enchant on your weapon though . That increases damage output by quite a bit . I was using Nirn Main Hand with Wep damage and Charged Off Hand with Shock enchant .

I use it on the backbar of my archer build, since its a Stam Sorc, it works on the backbar, recovers magicka and that means more Dark Deals, also its kinda nice getting that surprise stun since defensive stance is a very subtle reflect.

Unfortunately spamming only works if against a projectile user, and waiting 30s for the mag isn't great. If it was something like restores 100 mag per sec whilst active and 2k when absorbing it'd be good.

Less mag if not absorbed, but more if absorbed late, and more active return.

Can you recast early for the magicka return? Like you can recast rally or burning embers early for a heal?

I've got a stamblade 2h SnB build I've been using forever. Going to have to switch it up but.

Going 5pc bone pirate body 3 agility Maelstrom 2h.

This will be mainly to get a free cloak for every projectile. Can't wait to test but I'm on PS4.
