Hey guys just got a master inferno! Really want to make a magblade build around it. I'm thinking
5 necro
3 ancient grace
2 valkyn and master inferno.
How would this sound? Or do you guys have a better set up in mind. Let me know!
I probably won't end up running Zaan. I'm having a lot of success with 5x Spinners, 5x Shackle, 1x Domihaus, vMA resto. I use the apprentice mundus, witchmother's, and spell power/crit potions. With mark target I have pretty ridiculous penetration - to the point that if you're light armor you're almost not wearing armor. More or less you scoot around, build a will proc and incap, then burst away. A few days ago I ran into a solid magplar I know and our fight was some light attacks, buffing, and then I went cloak into 11k incap with a 19k will proc. I've repeated this a few times on other classes. I know people rag on spinners, but it's enormous damage and even against shield stacking builds there is always a window where people drop shield for a moment. A lot of my kills are when people think that they have an offensive window, drop their guard, and then take a massive incap + will proc where if they live the defile and increased damage taken via incap are too much to overcome unless they pretty much block cast purge into breath of life.
Sustain on that build is a weird thing because you're really not spamming skills outside of defense and your burst combo. You just kite until you see a window.
Fair warning that I've basically just taken the build's sets/concept from @Lexxypwns . They're a wizard.

Khajiit recently converted from stamblade to magblade (not this one's doing -- evil dro-m'Athra curse), and just happens to have a nirnhoned Master's Inferno Staff. Do any experienced magblades use this or better to chop for firewood?
This one was thinking that heavy attack, fear, Destructive Clench, Assassin's Will could be a good combo.
First of all, reach/clench is a cc in itself so using a fear right before the clench is extremely redundant. Never run two ccs (ults don't count) on magblade, you're already struggling with bar space.
Now master's inferno is a crazy good staff this patch. A good starter magblade build I can recommend is 2 skoria, 5 shackle, 3 willpower and master inferno/vMA resto(or regular resto).
I've heard that people run shackle/necro/master inferno/vMA resto as well this patch. You can also run 5 shackle 1 domi 5 riposte backbar and master's inferno front bar (you can also swap riposte for lich if you feel like sustain is an issue).
I'm thinking maybe a 5 lich (backbar) 5 necro 1 domi/kena with master inferno. I think I'd have enough mag recovery to go pure damage glyphs and not need Siphoning either.
Sounds great, though stam sustain might be a little iffy. Mag sustain is definitely more than enough with lich, hell I ran 3 dmg glyphs on shackle/riposte/domi and it still felt like oversustaining.
I've really been meaning to try my sorc build (lich/shackle/domi/master's) on magblade, but it's just so annoying to send gear over so I never get to actually doing it. Until then riposte can do just fine in place of lich hahaha.

I actually run my magblade on an argonian with tri stat pots haha it's so OP for my resources. I don't feel I need the 7% extra mag and elemental damage that high elf give because already with necro/kena/spell damage glyphs your damage will be high enough. I could even go lich shackle like your set up. Haven't thought about that but yeah could work. Or what about a shackle/necro build? That could be insane too..
Speaking of that. How much do you guys see the shield go up for a full 5 piece Necro compared to the 4 piece? I seem to see about 1200 base points higher shield or so just rough estimate (not able to go pop shades out to confirm right now from work) I suppose with bastion that will inflate it/round up to around 1500? In Cyrodiil thats 750 points.
Just bad estimations here but I guess what I am getting at is; is the 5th piece necro worth it when you can use that piece for an extra monster set piece or master/VMA weapon?
Magicka nightblade with dual wield (not zerg bomber builds) is still possible and viable?
