5 Sload's Embrace, 5 Knight Slayer, 2 Zaan or 2 Skoria. Hold down heavy attack, and kill everything.

Before you get done with the PTS you need to try this combo. A person with only one functional finger can use this combination with ease.

    Pretty sure a ‘sloan’ is not in documented Elder Scrolls lore.

    This is true, but then you can just use another heavy attack and call it a day because incap will only take 3-4k of my 35k health. And something tells me that the stamblade will run out of magicka before I do because heavy attacks on a resto staff are quite generous when it comes to magicka return.

    Ahhh, right. Sload is a crafted set. That's a bit problematic.

    Hmm...
    Knight Slayer Set

    (2 items) Adds 1096 Max Magicka

    (3 items) Adds 129 Spell Damage

    (4 items) Adds 1206 Max Health

    (5 items) Your fully-charged Heavy Attacks against Players deal an additional 9% of their Max Health as Oblivion Damage.

    Sload’s Semblance

    2 – 1096 Maximum Magicka
    3 – 1096 Maximum Stamina
    4 – 129 Spell Damage
    4 – 129 Weapon Damage
    5 – Damaging an enemy has a 10% chance to put a Leeching Shadow on them, dealing 853 Oblivion Damage every 1 second for 6 seconds. This effect can occur every 6 seconds.


    Do those 2 effects even stack?

    You know knight slayer was nerfed to no longer apply on each tick of resto or lightning staves, right?

    They do, and you can add Skoria or Zaan on top of that. This is best used as a magDK with a resto staff so that you can keep your wings up 24/7, and continuously heal/CC with obsidian shard.

    The combo still works quite effectively, and you can use blue food for maximum health and magicka since you won't need to worry about resource management due to heavy attack spamming.

    Try my setup out with a magDK, and let me know what you think. It's absolutely broken, and truthfully it's really going to make PvP miserable. As much as I love playing the game on easy mode they really need to get rid of that 5 piece for Sload, and nerf Zaan.

    Zaan is OP even on stamina builds. They should just nerf that damned thing.

    Even more so on stamina builds ironically because you can continuously gap close to prevent the tether from breaking.

    Well it's best used on magnbs.
    Incap+ lotus fan spam will be enough to get those 30k Zaan procs. Then stamnb/ magdk. The other classes don't feel to be made to make good use of the set even though they still do ofc :lol:

    Infused torugs is much stronger than knight slayer as you get 2164 damage every 1.4 seconds with resto light attacks.
