Magplar dps set?

Ohhgrizyyy

I'm considering trying A 5 piece Light Brass made in Light Armor, Whats a good dps set for magplars besides War Maiden and Soulshine? I find Soulshine cheesey tbh and idk how I feel about War Maiden being tied to magic dmg even though that is what most of a template damage is. What about possibly running 5 piece rattle and that opens up a slot instead of running structured entropy or is there a better choice for a 5 piece?

Fortified Brass looks like a Tanking set. Why would you try it on a DPS character?

Basically almost every single build starts with Julianos as one of the sets used because of it's well rounded stats and that 300 damage for the 5pc.

Rattlecage is okay if you want that Major Sorcery buff all the time, but that's a Heavy armor set so if you want the 5pc buffs for light armor you'll need the Jewelry for Rattle.

It's a PvP build, Probably should have stated that my bad...Its Been tested on magplars...You can do more damage in 5 Light Armor Light Brass then you can with 5 Heavy Armor Shacklebreaker and still take less damage in the Light Brass..Was considering running a build with Light Brass, DPS Set and 2 Skoria

Dont know whats the big hype with brass, riposte works fine on my light magplar and at least my stats arent poop.
Heck last week i ran lich juli and still didnt feel squishy.
With How many cps we have now i dont feel bad at all putting points into light Armor Focus, not like ill spend points into thick skinned. Then again im a breton so i sit at 30k spell resist in 5 light without trying(26k phys resist).

PvP I'm not familiar with the dps standards, but regarding PVE it's 2 Skoria, 5 Julianos, 3 Moondancer, Front bar Perfect Asylum Flame Destro. Backbar Nirn VMA lightning. Food for thought.

Just realised that i didnt actually reply to the Op haha. Anyway i heard that spinners is the hot thing atm. Or you can try Cresents build with lich jewelry and backbar, willpower swords front and skoria. Could be pretty decent all around build.

fortified brass is really good for pvp. makes you super tanky in light or medium armor. pair it with war maiden and you will do good dps and survive

That brass sht is so overrated , impreg and ripose are way better.
5x impreg/Ripose + Soulshine is the way to go.

I mean if Deltia can be trusted he tested 5 Heavy shackle vs 5 Light (Light Brass) and he took less damage and did more damage with the Light (Light brass)

I'm currently running 5 Riposte and 5 Heavy shackle with 1 Domihaus and 1 Slimecraw

5 heavy or light Julianos (all impen), 3 x will power, 3 or 4 torugs pact

or you can get way with your favorite monster set and what ever staff tickles your fancy

I should say.. this is perhaps mediocre is some people eyes

mediocre is not fine with or for everyone

Hi, I am CP690 and below is my Magplar PVP build. (All armor listed is impen with max magica enchants.)

Front Bar:
5pc - Rattlecage (Swords and Jewlery)

5pc - Shackle Breaker armor, all light except chest and legs which are in heavy.

Monster Set: Grothdar Light head and shoulder

Back Bar:
4pc - Rattlecage (Destro Staff and Jewls)

5pc - Shackle Breaker armor all light except chest and legs which are in heavy.

Monster Set: Grothdar Light head and shoulder

**extras**
Crafted Immovable Pots - magic replenish
Witch mothers Potent Brew

and this build has worked out really well for me in PVP. perhaps not for everyone but I find it fits my play style well.

Sounds like a nice build, Trying to find something that fits with Fortified Brass though, Light armor with over 20k resistances without buffs? I want lol

You´re gonna have a hard time finding a good DPS set if you think good sets are 'cheesy' Kinda defeats the purpose of the original question...

It depends on what you want to DPS with. Burning spellweave works well with the sun fire skill, and you want to keep casting dawns wrath skills to keep prism passive up.

Skoria should proc on puncturing sweep and radiant destruction.

Overwhelming surge should be good if spamming class abilities which you should do anyway, it´s just so much fun

Fortified brass would allow you to spend much else on offense if you don´t want to glasscannon it.

A lightning staff with fire enchant, overwhelming surge and Ilambris?

Or go overwhelming surge on DW backbar with destro frontbar with burning spellweave and Ilambris. Spam class abilities until OS procs, then switch and dps down with fire, lightning and BSW (or vice versa)?


DISCLAIMER: Most of these sets I havent tested myself since I´ve just tested other stuff that I use myself at the moment and I dont have my current templar at lvl50 yet, I am going by tooltips and they, as well as mechanics in general, aren´t exactly clear (for example wrecking blow is a DoT which makes no intuitive sense whatsoever).

Prolly think Soulshine is cheese cause I'm used to people running soul assault with it and it's broke...Soulshine doesn't sound that great to me anyways. It buffs my jabs and radiant that's it...Radiant I'm only gonna use when I get an enemy like 25-30% or lower. Doesn't help my Vampires Bane, Doesn't help my Ice Comet, Or my Bats or Entropy or really anything else I would use...

I use 4 part juls 5 part Maidens with 2 heavy (not undaunted 10 yet) All divines. With apprentice.

Well that might be right but you´d expect people to use a set that boosts channels to be used with channels... I really like soulshine in theory but I havent really had the opportunity to try it out yet, but the spear / soul assault / radiant combo is what I was thinking about. Maybe also try a hard-cast crystals build.

Sweeps and radiant are 2 great dps skills and neither requires a staff, sou you could put them on a DW backbar and free up 8 slots for a staff frontbar with totally different skills.

But really I think you should start either with the skills or the set you think about using, and take it from there.

For PvP I use Skoria, Shackelbreaker and Spinner
