Been running Gankplar again still just as good, almost better due to race against time psijic skill...5 warmaiden/5 Julianos/2slimecrawl, 4 divine 3 infused, lover mundus... biggest flare since patch: 22k

Hot. Need some juicy vids to see those 22k DF's touch players lol

I don't record videos but:



That's from this patch. I have oodles of 17-20k flare screenshots, but they aren't super interesting.



That's a much more "typical" gank I get on a regular basis. If you get lucky and land a crit flare, it's gravy.

5: When you cleanse a negative effect from yourself or an ally, gain Major Protection for 5 seconds, reducing your damage taken by 30%. This effect can occur once every 10 seconds.

I can't wait to try this set, along with with the new Crescent Sweep.

Looks like the patch will cause some major shifts in the meta. On first glance the changes ( mostly those to other classes ) and the new item sets should help MagTemps to move up in the world, some really sweet stuff in there.

That set putting a +500 spell damage rune on the enemy after a light attack must be nuts with the Elemental Weapon RangePlar.

I was thinking that too.

Even running empowering sweeps might be decent. Trade burst ultimate damage for major protection for 7s (if you hit one enemy) on a 75 cost ultimate.

Lets you run LA, an offensive monster set and still have the defenses you need.

I'm a bit annoyed that they switched this actually. Just created a build around it. What does the magicka morph do now anyway?

66% more damage to enemies in front of you. No complaints from me.

Want to ask the magplar enthusiasts here of their opinion on running
5 Cyrodills light/ 5 innate axiom Heavy/ valkyn or pirates. Do you guys think it’s feasible and if not what would be your recommendation for one offensive and one defensive set? I’d perefer to play in light but have no clue on how to make that happen.

I'd swap axiom for soul shine ....
Or cyrodis light for another damager set and go all offencive

I'm actually doing just that ... But mainly for BGs

Are you running 5 light or heavy?
Also, how’s the sustain with two offensive sets that trade higher stat pool and recovery for damage?

5 light, 1H,1M.

Sustain is great ... My biggest struggle is the killing blow ... I can get them to the lower limits of health but either some one steals my kill (BG) or they turtle up n take everything I hit them with on the precipice of death until my resources force me to back off then it's an evil back n fourth until my arthritis causes my hands to scream out and give up

Avnr

Make room for all sorc

Change class to lizard or stay high elf?

How can you build around an ultimate that scalled off the wrong penetration

only the initial hit.

This was the version of the ability previously mag based till stamplars complained they didnt have enough stamina morphs. Then zos did a lazy change to shut them up giving us the version on live.

It’s from an addon named Superstar. Once you install it just bind it to a key in your Controls and then press that key to bring up the info on your character.

CatchMeTrolling

The new magic bone pirate looks like it could be a decent set for magplars. Stamplars could be nasty next patch but I can’t help but think major evasion change might be a slap in the face to the class.

If you ever fought someone using sweeps and jabs while having blade cloak up you know it makes a big difference.

Soris

Medium armor stamplar using shuffle and empowering sweep hmm...

Looks like we have been buffed as similar mitigation amount of the new evasion. New Spear Wall passive looks neat.

Holy *** by the looks of this thread, I think everyone and their brother is switching to magplar

damn

Bring on the fotm cycle, we've survived it before and we will again.

Same people in this thread that have been in here for 3 months (Y)

Since the inception of this thread, all I've seen here is a solid bunch of players that don't feel it pivotal to chase the meta around to compete - I like that and hope it doesn't change.

Though, as you expect, the sheep may just flock.

HowlKimchi

Yeah been a magplar main for a little over a year now, and it's like people are "discovering" how good the class is just now.

Navras

Magplar \ Healplar main since ever (even if I enjoy stamblade as well).

We've been through hell, we won't regret some time in Heaven, right?

A little over a year? Man; you never even seen the magplar heyday. Of course, its been like 3 years so; kind of crazy to think about it.

It has picked up some popularity lately before these latest notes; and a lot of it is old magplar mains and swift has eased some of the pain there. A few went stamplar over time but A LOT of magplar mains rerolled sorcs when Morrowind came out so I expect to see an influx again.

I was a magsorc main during beta up to switching to magplar about a year ago so im familiar with the magplar "heyday." But of course, that was also the time where Stam DKs were kings as well!

TheDoomsdayMonster

I wonder how many people will look down on Spectre's Eye now...

I know Templars and Wardens wont...

Nor will anyone using AoE Ultimates...

Np, though tbh honest until they fix the sweep so it actually hits players, I don't think it's very viable. I wanted to boost pirate skeleton with another potential 23+% DR (before diminishing returns) by using sweep and Indomitable Fury synergy (solid up time and added DPS).

With the shield wall passive change, I don't think Indom Fury on sweeps magplar is a great choice. If you are using sweeps as a spammable you already have high uptime on half of Indom fury's buffs (minor protection).

A different defensive set would probably serve you better in that context.

Look at Sorc patches notes. Looks at Templar patch notes. Looks at Magplar sitting there down on the roster (thanks for toon reordering coming up)

Mag BP will be interesting. I’m curious if we’ll be able to get high enough stam by just running tri glyphs though, otherwise might have to pair with shackle.

Mag BP/Innate with the new ulti might be nasty.
