    I don't record gameplay for a variety of reasons...

    But if I did, I certainly wouldn't open with a clip of a long, terrible fight against a single nightblade involving multiple soul assaults.

    Or using barrier to open a 1v1.

    Also, I highly recommend watching the only other ESO vid on that channel.

    Lol that guy who whispered him during the first fight is LITERALLY the most toxic player ps4na. He's told me, my wife, and some ppl i run with that he's going to murder my family, and many many other awful things all on separate occasions. I love knowing that hellyeah and doomsday are buddies. Really solidified my opinions.

    I'm looking to get best bang for my buck, and have enough stamina to block and CC break (my current build I have to sacrifice too much damage for that). Any opinions?

    If your stamina is above 14k, id go with the Mara option. More health/mag would be better. If you have dual staffs+ele drain, then restoring rune/stam cost/sustain poison can be used before using Camoran drink.

    That's what I'm leaning towards, though I have SnB backbar. This is for BGs BTW so my sustain needs as much as it can get.

    Shackle and Dubious? With Prismatic body pieces that's like 20k stam. Why do you need that much stamina?

    Since switching to spell crit pots (used to use tripot) I have a big problem with stam sustain that's why i am considering Amberplasm or some kind of alternative. And sacrificing damage isn't an option.

    If that’s what you’re trying to solve, then maybe shackle/bright throat and witchmothers to keep max magicka from your drink but use the stam recovery morph of rune focus? You could also run Blood Spawn

    The stam morph is something I haven't considered, good call. Already running BS yeah.

    Remember there's an upfront cost to the rune and it takes 4 seconds to regen that from just the skill. But if you have a pool of 14k or more it's a great option. I recast rune often, i love the resistance buff. I found it to be made for a different play style.

    I just thought of it as console gameplay. The NB did well to evade through him. From what I have played of console, that is what I hate. Trying to turn and use abilities at the same time.

    This might be a dumb question but when a skill/gear set says 129 regen does that mean each second or 2 seconds?

    back to topic, how do we replace total dark on our bars?

    I might go back to accelerating drain. Un-reflected and gives 20 seconds of 10% speed (1 old swift trait) plus a small heal and dmg that can proc skoria.

    12m Range means nothing, if my target is always melee anyway.

    Never found total dark to be useful because you can just break out of it or keep it on for cc immunity. If I was pressed for a cc I’d use drain (haven’t used it in awhile it was broken before like fear) , clench or javelin. I usually just rely on dawnbreaker.

    You couldn’t break out of it at times or it would cc the person before they could register that they were cced then the animation would happen. So it was like they got double cced.

    If they hadnt nerfed the defile durations, I'd might consider using my stam pool for reverberating bash. In stead, I like clench for the extra DOT. If I get lucky and it gets to be the killing blow somehow, I might even get some magicka recovery.

    Total Dark is one of the best skills in ESO. It’s damage heals and a cc. So disruptive. Just gotta time it right and it rips people.

    In the history of this game I have never seen this skill act as more than a minor inconvenience. When a skill relies on someone else not knowing how to react or a difference in skill to be valuable it needs to be re-evaluated.

    I'm looking to get best bang for my buck, and have enough stamina to block and CC break (my current build I have to sacrifice too much damage for that). Any opinions?

    Shackle and Dubious? With Prismatic body pieces that's like 20k stam. Why do you need that much stamina?

    Since switching to spell crit pots (used to use tripot) I have a big problem with stam sustain that's why i am considering Amberplasm or some kind of alternative. And sacrificing damage isn't an option.

    If that’s what you’re trying to solve, then maybe shackle/bright throat and witchmothers to keep max magicka from your drink but use the stam recovery morph of rune focus? You could also run Blood Spawn

    The stam morph is something I haven't considered, good call. Already running BS yeah.
    I don't record gameplay for a variety of reasons...

    But if I did, I certainly wouldn't open with a clip of a long, terrible fight against a single nightblade involving multiple soul assaults.

    Or using barrier to open a 1v1.

    Also, I highly recommend watching the only other ESO vid on that channel.

    I wanted to chalk it up to console gameplay but it just kept getting worse....

    Remember there's an upfront cost to the rune and it takes 4 seconds to regen that from just the skill. But if you have a pool of 14k or more it's a great option. I recast rune often, i love the resistance buff. I found it to be made for a different play style.

    This might be a dumb question but when a skill/gear set says 129 regen does that mean each second or 2 seconds?

    Every 2 seconds

    when you could combine totoal dark and another cc it was a staple part of my bar but as of recent changes I'm in 2 minds to keep it or not. On one hand it's very good against volotile armour using dks and dw rend using stam toons but also bad against players that instantly break it

    back to topic, how do we replace total dark on our bars?

    I might go back to accelerating drain. Un-reflected and gives 20 seconds of 10% speed (1 old swift trait) plus a small heal and dmg that can proc skoria.

    12m Range means nothing, if my target is always melee anyway.

    Im not replacing it. Fantastic synergy with ice reach. I never used it and then tried to stun some one.... that literally gives them a second to cc break before my cc happens. In your video i don't remember you once using total dark and stunning them after. Why replace it?

    Quick poll regarding sustain vs raw stats:

    -BTB/Shackle with Dubios Camoran Throne

    or

    -BTB/Amberplasm with Double Bloody Mara

    If your stamina is above 14k, id go with the Mara option. More health/mag would be better. If you have dual staffs+ele drain, then restoring rune/stam cost/sustain poison can be used before using Camoran drink.

    That's what I'm leaning towards, though I have SnB backbar. This is for BGs BTW so my sustain needs as much as it can get.

    if it says regen it means every 2 seconds. It has to say otherwise in order for it to be separate (like ele drain says "each second" or templar run.)
    Never found total dark to be useful because you can just break out of it or keep it on for cc immunity. If I was pressed for a cc I’d use drain (haven’t used it in awhile it was broken before like fear) , clench or javelin. I usually just rely on dawnbreaker.

    what was broken about drain again?

    You couldn’t break out of it at times or it would cc the person before they could register that they were cced then the animation would happen. So it was like they got double cced.

    Oh really? Did it work like this?:

    If some are looking to replace Total Dark, another combo that used to work well was Aurora Javelin > Explosive Charge. Explosive Charge was always beneficial because it couldn’t be dodged.

    It is a constant strain on stamina. Very powerful vs magicka.

    Total Dark is one of the best skills in ESO. It’s damage heals and a cc. So disruptive. Just gotta time it right and it rips people.

    Exactly, it's a very timing-oriented skill. Of course a pro is gonna shake it off as soon as he sees it, but if you use it sparingly and time it so he combos himself you might win the fight right there.

    Yea I changed to unstable core so i can use more defensive ultimates. Need to work on my timing and duel again without inner light (ran out of pots/mats so i needed a quick option without leaving cyro lol.)

    Nice fight!

    Allow me to critisize a bit. But nothing offensive ofc.. In my opinion solar barrage would be a better aoe dot than the frost field. Because it's more like a in-your-face style so they can't simply walk out of it. There were times in this fight when he was super low and he just stepped out of your frost field to lower the pressure. Solar barrage would sure help you more in situations like this. It also buffs your light attacks by 60%. This coupled with staff expert cp gives quite hefty dmg bonus to ligth attack weaving. But it count as direct damage so keep that in mind.

    But maybe the frost field is giving you some other bonuses(?) I'm not sure. If that's the case then dont mind me :p
