Magicka Nightblade and Item Sets

kypranb14_ESO

I have played on my Magicka Nightblade for over 2,000 hours between Xbox One and PC. (I switched from Xbox to PC in September.) I am looking for new fun sets to run. Emphasis on the word fun here. I already have an extremely potent PVP build, and blow through all the PVE content with one hand behind my back.

That being said, here are setups I have already ran and got bored of:
- 5x Spinner + 5x Lich + 2x Valkyn Skoria, Destro/Resto
- 5x Julianos + 2x Mighty Chudan + 4x Necro, Destro/Resto
- 5x Julianos + 5x Spell Power Cure + 1x Chokethorn
- 5x Spell Power Cure + 5x Transmutation + 1x Valkyn Skoria

Looking for fun builds. Don't need to hit luck a truck, but having a theme is always a good thing. You could say something like "Combat Physician and Prayer Shawl for tons of passive damage shields!"

Another important note, I play at a medium range. Close enough to hit my opponent with refreshing path, but far enough away so I should be using Funnel Health instead of Concealed Weapon.

I like using the 2pc chokethorn for LOLs on my magblade healer.

5 Necro, 5 Shacklebreaker, 1 Domihaus.
5 Amberplam, 5 Shacklebreaker, 1 Domihaus.

I used these because I was dying 90% of the time to not having enough stamina due to my play style as a magic character in a two person group in Cyrodiil. This fixed my death rate. More kills/less dying. I can't use necro right now because shade is broken af so I actually went full healing as the person before me posted. 5 Transmutation, 5 Spell Power Cure and 1 Chudan. BIG difference between a NB healer and a Templar healer but I enjoy it and that's all that matters.

shade teleport was always a little wonky, but really I only put it out for the necro mag boost, because it was always hard to tell the range, etc. Maybe they should just change it to consume the shade, and give a short directional teleport away? Why is the other morph just sooo bad? Needs some luv.

I haven't completed the build yet (still need an Earthgore helm), but I have this idea for a blood-themed, healing, "Emergency Room" Vampire Nightblade called "Bloodmender" with the following sets in mind:

2 pc Earthgore
5 pc Juggernaut (jewelry and weapons)
5 pc Dreamer's Mantle
1 pc Maelstrom Resto (back bar)

Healers get targeted in PVP, and between cloak, fear, and these "emergency" sets, it will be tough to bring me down when my health gets low. Feel free to try it out if you want something different.

If you are playing in a group, a friend runs an "ambient healing" nightblade with the Redistributor set and syphoning skills and he has a lot of fun with it.

^^^^
I was going to add something with warmaiden. Only because i've sold a lot of it lately. Especially the swords. Was farming vvardenfell for motifs but after around 1,000 chests i only found one BA motif... And a pile of warmaiden divine/impen gear + swords/shields.

I assumed the reason for selling it was pvp related for some extra shield smashing? Seems like a good NB set anyway.

It's funny you guys say War Maiden, right now I am running:

- 5x War Maiden + 5x Julianos +1x Valkyn Skoria.

I love it, and I'm not bored of it. Just looking to try something different while grinding through all the side quests that I have already done on Xbox.

@jakeedmundson @Ashgard23

@GrumpyDuckling Looks like a very tanky build, but for different reasons than why mine is tanky. I might try it out sometime!

I'm running 5 Julianos, 4 Infallible Aether, 2 Valkyn Skoria.

But my magblade isn't may main (main is a stamblade) so I'm not too concerned about BIS.

5 Shacklebreaker (so I have enough stamina and can use witchmother drink instead of 3 stats food)
5 War Maiden (all of my damage but LA is magical damage) with destro/resto staves
1 Skoria helmet just to have a bit more health (if you use your toon only for pvp, you should consider putting some attribute points into health and using Domihaus instead of Skoria)

I get bored sometimes

the theme is "no dots, no pots" and it does hit like a truck

I loved the teleporting but there was a 50/50 chance of it working. Sometimes I was frozen in place for 8 seconds which I would still be moving around on my screen but not doing any moves but on my boyfriends screen my character is standing in place and I usually ended up dead. It's a weird thing that is still kind of broken in the ESO world....like cloak.

Far from bis, but I like to use 5 piece torug's pact and 5 piece shield breaker. I enchant my flame staff with oblivion damage and use the infused trait. It's a great sorc killer build.

@Aisle9 What exactly are you running there? I can see the Julianos, but what else?

5 Juli

5 Mother Sorrow

1 Domihaus (Grothdarr in the video, but I replaced it with Domi when I got a divine one)

All divines, infused fire staff with shock enchant, charged resto with fire enchant

I figured it was mothers sorrow when I saw the 70% crit without thief, but I had to be sure.

I might try out something similar to this in the near future.

FrostFallFox

5 Twilight's Embrace and 5 Sanctuary. You could make the TE either Heavy or Light

Pvp greedy heal girl. And use the soul siphon ultimate instead of soul tether for the major vitality buff to yourself and friends!

Yeah, I had a CP allocation somewhere as well, cos, you know, no dots, therefore Thaum is useless, instead you go for 66 Master-at-arms, I think, don't really remember.

I can look it up if you want. It's a bit old.

No worries, I never put any into thuam because I only use 1 DoT myself, and I use it as a heal/dps combo.
