So I'm still pretty new to magicka classes in PvP (old stam DK main) and I need some advice. I can get some kills but I'm WAY too squishy.
I'm currently running:
2 Skoria (heavy)
5 Spinners (chest, legs. boots, Nirnhoned inferno staff)
5 Wizard's Riposte (belt, gloves, jewelry)
2 Song of Lamae (sword and shield on back bar).
Anyone have any advice for a newbie Magplar?

War Maiden, Axiom and Pirate Skeleton in light armor is VASTLY better than any combination of damage sets plus heavy armor.
The only comparable build I found (but more for survivability and disruption) is Troll King with War Maiden and Axiom.

I’ve had some success with Heavy builds that use Elemental Weapons. Currently using Alch+BSW with Asylum SnB and 3x Infused potion glyphs on an Argonian. Over 4K Spell damage and using Eye bowl + resourceful to cover sustain. I’ve been switching between speed stam immovable and major Vitality+lingering because I can’t make a decision which I like more
I got like 3 vids of a ranged heavy magplar. Imo its the best way to play it that way due to tankyness and u dont need shields etc. Its tbh one of the strongest specs out there. Kind of anti stam nb and magsorc
@Mr_Nobody These were videos you made? What is the link to your Youtube page? Thanks!

No it was at the person saying repentance was their main heal but I’m pretty sure that was a hyperbole.
Critical damage does affect critical healing. Just not the specific critical damage buffs from Templar and Nightblade passives.I'm a bit confused here ... Aren't all these sets boosting critical DAMAGE which had zero effect on critical hearing so wouldn't julianos and warmaiden be very similar in out put ?

elfborn/percise CP too doesn't boost healing crits.
It's related to how healing isn't impacted by impen; meaning healing can always have a 50% crit dmg modifier whereas crit dmg from damage stats has to be calculated against crit resistance.
and the reason defile feels strong, is because it hard zaps the base healing tooltip (along with battlespirit) and that in turn messes with the value after the heal crits.

Are you sure? Their tooltips explicitly claim to do so. If they don't, that seems like a bug.

Avoid magplar for PVP, unless you are running a healer and bunch of people to protect you in a group. You are just prey begging to get killed.
Stamplar is excellent in PVP.

Elemental weapon is a kickass good spammable since u can lineup more instant damage due to it being applied to *** followed by another skill like javelin or bane/beam

Most people don’t really understand how good Elemental Weapons is. Hitting Reach-Elemental Weapons-Purifying Light all within 1 second is 12k+ concurrent damage without an ultimate. It lets you sneak in more burst than people are used to from a Magplar which can be very dangerous. I’ve experienced some squishier specs getting 100-0’d by Ele-Reach-Skoria-PL when I’ve got BSW and Alch proc’ed. It’s pretty funny to see that happen when you’re on a Magplar

I find it all boring when my main templar already has it unlocked
So I have the gear to run 2 Skoria, 5 Heavy Shacklebreaker, 5 Lich, 2 Willpower swords if I feel like it. Is this setup any good? It would be 5 heavy, 1 light, 1 medium, dual wield on front bar and sword and shield on back bar. I'm on a Breton, but I was going to run 3 tri-stat glyphs on big pieces. Combined with 5 heavy, Undaunted passive, and tri-stat food, my health should be alright.
Awesome. I was afraid that I wouldn't have enough damage with that setup.
Awesome. I was afraid that I wouldn't have enough damage with that setup.
Solar barrage with heavy build (and i think it's much better in light armor) gives quite nice pressure damage around 3k tooltip damage per tick. This is an extra damage on top of your build and rotation. So if you can fit it in your skillbars you absolutely should give a chance. I swapped entropy with it and using spell damage potions for the buff. It pairs very nice with overwhelming and skoria.

Whoa i didn't even realize they buffed this morph. Do you know if the empower is like other skills where it only buffs light attacks?
