Abilities

Main Bar: (Lightning Staff, 2H)

• Daedric Prey: To enhance the DPS of pets and apply a DoT w/ massive ending damage
• Blockade of Storms: To do AoE dps that can't be reflected to dodged. Could use Elemental Reach if desired.
• Hardened Ward: To protect pets and yourself. Use when pets are being damaged.
• Volatile Familiar: AoE dps that takes people out of stealth and does an AoE stun. Useful for combos and poking.
• Twilight Matriarch: Allows for team heals that don't require you to hump team mates all game. Useful with Major Mending from Resto heavy attacks.
• Ultimate: Greater Storm Atronach: Large pet that one can hide in. Does nice damage with AoE stun. Also allows for synergy that grants Major Berserk, which verrrrr nice.

Off-Hand Bar: (Restoration, Staff, 2h)

• Power Surge: For the healz and to get you that sick 20% Major Sorcery buff. A standard.
• Boundless Storm: For the DPS, extra resist stats, and for the speed. Useful to get around and to do DPS. Also good to get NB out of stealth.
• Mutagen: Heals team mates a decent amount. Counters some DoTs. Allows for a burst heal, which is always nice. Useful for points nabbing in Deathmatch Battle Grounds
• Volatile Familiar: Same as above.
• Twilight Matriarch: Same as above. Remember to use it with Major Mending from Resto heavy attack.
• Ultimate: Absorption Field: Allows for some nice healing with possible synergy to kill pesky healers on enemy team. Many applications. Could use damage variant too.

Food, Potions, Race, etc:

Food:

• Melon-Baked Parmesan Pork:

Great for stats, no regeneration. Dps best.

• Orzorga's Red Frothgar:

Great for health, has regen, lack magicka. Preferred for ability spam.

• Withmother's Potent Brew:

Moderate health, magicka, and magicka regen. Good all around.

Race:

Kahjiit, duh. Has great critical stats, along with extra stats to regen and health/stam/magicka. Can't go wrong, as well as works with Power Surge.

• High Elf or Brenton would work just fine.
• Use other races at one's discretion.

Potions:

Most used: Tri-restoration potions:

Useful to dodge roll, block, health, and gain magicka back. No downside.

Essence of Detection:

Useful to hit night-blades. Less general use.

Mundus Stone:

The Thief: extra crit chances

Works well with racial passives and Power Surge

Extra Spell Penetration or Spell Damage would work just fine as well. Depends on preference.

Rotation:

Always on abilities:

• Power Surge, Boundless Storm, Mutagen, Volatile Familiar, Twilight Matriarch.

Usually open up with Daedric Prey and Volatile AoE, then into a lightning staff heavy attack.

May use Blockade of Storms if not moving much, facing multiple people, or flushing out Night-blades.

Healing: Use combo restoration heavy attacks with Twilight Matriarch heals. 1:2 ratio. Keep mutagen up.

Ultimates:

Use Atro for most cases. Stuns, damages, and blocks other's attacks.

Use Absorption Field when healing or combo'ing with others to prevent healer spam.

Note: Champion points are mentioned in the video. They will not be listed here due to not being used in BGs.
