Magplar

Gan Xing

So i've played for 3 years and never invested much time into my magplar. What is a good build for her? she is a Breton, and I tend to play the sturdy frontline fighter rather than a healer

I'm working on a AoE DoT Skoria build right now. Seems promising.

War Maiden + Warrior-Poet + Skoria

Main Bar
Punct sweep - Solar Flare - Ritual of retribution + Toppling Charge + Flex + U Empowering sweep

I'm considering changing WP for soulshine for moar dmg but the health and resisntance of WP are quite good.

Also I'm considering changing from S/B to DW and slotting quick cloak for more AoE DoT

Cool! I'm looking toward doing more burst damage (i'm using her for PvP)

Gan Xing

I'm toying with a really unusual set up: Pelinal with DKS + 1 domi and 1 veli

with s&b she can get up to 4k weapon/spell damage, but she will behave mostly like a magplar in terms of skills utilized.

She is running at 30k magicka, 20k health, and 20k stam (5 armor items with prismatic rune 3 [including shield] with stam)
main hand is nirn

darkflare (or reverb bash), Toppling charge, Defensive stance, Puncturing sweep, Honor the dead, and dawnbreaker

off hand is infused destro w/ powered enchant

Power of the light (or Elemental drain), Force pulse/crushing shock, ritual, Aurora jav, channeled focus, and open ulti

CP is still being worked out

She has a lot of burst potential, and an useful set of skills

Y not use ravager? Sweeps is melee too. Then you can get brutality from forward momentum and have snare immunity and a hot.

I was going with Dreugh King Slayer b/c I already have a full set of that. I don't have a full set of Ravager. Also DKS provides more consistent damage.

Ravager procs incredibly often with jabs

Are you going Magplar or stamplar?

Because for stamplar you could try a debuffer build

NMG/Sprigan + a sustain set + krag 1 piece/Asylum bow

Basically sloting POTL + a Major fracture poison and lethal arrow for major defile. Maybe a maul for extra penetration back bar to finish enemies.

In theory it should work

I am going more of a magplar set up. I'm boosting my weapon damage because of Pelinals. I'm going magplar b/c of the extra stuff and damage I'm getting through those skills.

Lol nice, but I like being up in the front lines

WreckfulAbandon

5 overwhelming surge, 5 bahrahas curse, 2 skoria
dw axes/s&b

seems legit on paper for 1v1, trying to track down 1 more bahraha's ring (arcane if anyone has one they want to flip) so i can try it out

With all these passive dmg sets being dished out lately, it makes me want to run Durok/wizard reposte set lol.

I considered both of those sets to pair with overwhelming, along with a few others that would probably be better for open world.

For 1v1 though the pressure in melee is insane

oh man, that sounds like fun

I tried Ravager out, but it wasn't giving me nearly as much consistent damage as DKS

Shackle heavy, Robes of the Hist, Grothar, dbl snb here. All magic, all spell damage, 3 stat armor. Unstoppable beast, with bats and Grothar proc for massive aoe in the center of the action. Then just spam BoL. BG mates love it. I took the other morf than Extended Ritual, dunno its name for more aoe, compensated by CP placement.

I just saw Deltia's troll magplar build. Looks like fun: Spinner + Fortified Brass + either valkyn or bloodspawn

I am in the process of building up my Magplar. Running 5 piece Mechanical Acuity, 5 piece spinners, 2 piece skoria. 5 light, 2 heavy. Dual swords. Just need one more spinners sword to finish the build. So far it is powerful. And hitting soul assault on a target when mechanical acuity procs is devastating, 100K+ damage in under 4 seconds in PVE. And it melts people in battlegrounds, even without the complete spinners set.

Dont run brass on magplar, it’s trash. Riposte and trans give superior mitigation on the 5pcs and have better 2-4. And they’re both high uptime back bar sets so you can DW willpower front bar or masters destro front barons really pack some extra punch.

Trans+Damage set+skoria/BS/TK+masters lightning staff is my personal favorite magplar build. Shock reach is a much better hard CC than javelin since it keeps them in sweeps range.

I prefer Overhwleming surge for solo open world/BGs and shackle for small group open world

I take it since you're using Hist you are not slotting cleansing ritual on your skillbar? Curious if you are slotting a purge or not cause that build sounds quite fun

Running trans/ reposte/ asylum snb front bar. The regen, even at full 30 duration, has helped dig me out of situations against magicka opponents. Heavy attack/ defensive posture kept me alive and my magicka restored incredibly fast. Have you tried asylum snb yet?

I tried to make a "procplar" build over the last couple of days but Bahraha's Curse really isn't cutting it in open world (or anything, really)

I could easily switch to impreg/trans/riposte but I'm gonna give it a spin for a few more days. I literally have procs proccing my procs a few times over, it's actually a lot of fun

Overwhelming surge, desert rose, skoria. For the an offense that is very hard to break
Need more defense? Bloodspawn over skoria
Need MORE defense? Wizards riposte.

I run all of these sets golded out frequently, depending on how survivable i am i switch it up. If you need more sustain drop food and run orzagas frothgar. With tri stat enchants you should never need extra stam, so run bi stat magic food when sustain isnt a big issue.

Been playing with dropping vamps bane, and running innerlight and harness magic on main damage bar. Well see how effective it is...Would need to slot structured entropy on backbar or purifying light on backbar. Which I don't like to do.

Sometimes I wish they gave Templars the old Dawn's wraith passive that reduced the spell DMG of any enemy hit by a DW ability. Damn wizards reposte stealing our thunder.
