So I've never played a game like this before in my life but I gotta say Im loving it so far. Last night I hit CP 210. I like my Kajit because of the sneak and passives. Ive concentrated mostly on destruction staff but getting a higher damage output is boggling to me. Im not sure what champ points or skill lines to invest in at this point. HELP!

    Magic Warden? Your trick is to sustain health while metering out damage. Your not going to pull high numbers, but you will stay alive long enough to prevail
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    So what about should my magic damage be at? Id even be willing to do a race/character changes to make it higher because I do want to do more DPS and not heal really.

    Wait until next patch before race changing, Khajiit will actually perform pretty well. If you want to be safe you could go breton for the sustain....but anyway, what are you currently running set and skill wise?

    You know the game has a build adviser. it lets you pick if you want to focus on damage, healer or tank and it even has a beginner setting that lets you try it all out.
    It then guides you in to what to put your skill points.

    And don't worry about making mistakes, by the time you reach 50, you'll have gotten skill and attributes reset scrolls, letting you reset it all for free.

    And if at a later point you feel like what you picked still isn't right, you can respec at certain shrines in the game for a gold fee.

    So nothing is irreversible, just try things out and see where you get.

    And for a warden, that bear is a great ultimate.
    What are Natch Potes? Can you eat those?
    I believe in Genie-Gina.

    You'll want to work on filling out the rest of those sets to get the 5-piece bonus.

    The rest is mostly practicing a rotation of damaging skills.

    You don't have to do everything in this build (which will be updated for Wrathstone anyway) but to get an idea of the recommended rotation: https://alcasthq.com/eso-magicka-warden-build-pve/

    "Make sure to activate Channeled Acceleration and Blue Betty before you start the rotation.

    Winter’s Revenge > LA > Blockade of Fire > Weapon Swap >
    LA > Fetcher Infection > LA > 5x Elemental Weapon (Light Attack between each weave) > Weapon Swap >
    Restart

    Use Channeled Acceleration every 4th rotation, and then only do 4x Elemental Weapon instead of 5 when you use that skill.
    Recast Blue Betty when it runs out because its very important for sustain. When you use that skill only do 4x Elemental Weapon instead of 5.
    LA = Light Attack"
