Ah okay. Nobody. NM. I find it hilarious that people think they see ‘questionable’ posts and I’m a noob. Then when they actual try something I’ve said they find out I’m right and send me messages all the time.
I see, so you think you’re good because you follow what someone with a website says is the best spec. Then think everyone else is dumb for not doing it... Meanwhile you’re playing a spec everyone knows the counters to and will always have an upper limit.
The point of that spec was stacking % damage reductions. 10% swift, 15% merciless, minor and major protection for 80% mitigation in 7 light. You didn’t even understand what I was thinking of trying.
No point in replying anymore. No point teaching someone how to play who’s belligerent.
I think he mainly does BGs and plays healers with a bit of AOE. Haven't looked at that build, though.
You are, of course, correct. Mitigation is multiplicative, except when t3hasiangod tested Merciless on the PTS, it was additive, so that bears looking into.
I just stack DoTs and HoTs. Only problem is there aren't any sets to really do DoT damage and if there are, they never approach the benefit of raw stats and skills or are locked behind a paywa -- I mean "DLC." Then if you do have a build with raw stats, it feels like its incomplete, just like every single other mag build compared to stam.
Raw stat mnb only feels incomplete due to lack of heals and I’d argue that holds true for a proc set build, raw stat build, niche builds, gank builds... none of them are “complete” per se.
Agreed. Downside of having nice buffs, but them all being split amongst different abilities.
I’d love to be able to fit inner light for the buffs, but how? Class feels more stretched now between either healing or doing damage. Taking away duplicate ‘effects’ from NB abilities really restricts what you can do. I’d love to have an ability like forward momentum for mag.

Destro: concealed, sap, double take (something escape), cloak, inner light, soul harvest
Resto: lotus, fear, path, mutagen, ward, soul siphon
Dropping cripple for lotus (dot hits hard now) makes my combo smooth as silk. Helps gap closers are smooth as well.
Combo: LA resto (proc damage glyph), lotus (procs caul usually), fear, bar swap, soul harvest, concealed/sap spam.
Performed a lot better than trying to start with cripple as it simplified the combo immensely.
Saps extra damage + minor vulnerability from lotus has really helped based on a couple hours of game play last night.

Also have 16.6k stam, 24.6 and 21.5k resistances, 1950 impen and 2050 recovery with 41% crit. So I don’t think other classes can achieve those numbers. As stated, the issue is our self healing. The mitigation from bow is nice and indirectly reduces healing needed. Still playing around with everything. More realistically I will probably drop some mag glyphs for tri stat and mage mundus for lady.
Until he posts his build on UESP, I won't believe a thing, specifically how you get that much mag AND that much stam AND that much regen together. If this is real at all, it probably includes vamp, Continuous Attack, potion buff and who knows what else. Hopefully not Imperial Physique.

As to other classes achieving the same mag, sure they can. Warden gets the same magicka buffs as magblade and it's arguably easier to keep Necropotence up. Then compare the tooltip of warden birds with Swallow Soul and weep.

Idk man,
You’ve got no penetration & no crit, are you sure you are killing max level players?
Maybe not every class, but some probably. I can’t see a magblade beating a magsorc for example in a duel with equal gear and skill level. No way.
Magblade’s damage is down for last patch, sorc’s is up. It’s early in the patch but that’s my impression yes.
There’s a reason there are more sorcs then ever in pvp.

If I were to gear up my nightblade for pvp I would probably go melee for the higher spell damage and then stack penetration to burst through high resists. Spinners plus amberplasm or bright throats so I could spam cloak / damage / heals.
But I haven't played my nightblade in forever so i really am not an expert.
