Magicka regen with bow/NB?

Tapio75

Hey. First of all, I am not seeking aid like "You should not use bow for magicka character" and sort.

What I am doing, is that im building a sort of arcane archer with heavy emphasis on NB magicka abilities. Problem, the build is great to play, but becomes bad because eventually I run out of magicka due bow heavy attacks not restoring magicka. I do have a destruction stuff on off bar for this, but for RP reasons, I don't want to use anything else than bow, but the magicka regen or lack of, is constant problem. Other problem narurally is, that the bow like any other physical damage weapon, does not have a magicka morph anywhere even while some abilities clearly are really spells rather than basic attacks.

So what I am seeking, is some aid and tips to maximize the magicka regenb while using magicka NB abilities, light armour and bow.

If this is for general RP, easy dungeons, open world, just slot a set with magica regen or add some glyphs to jewels because you dont need high damage the content is so easy.

If this is for serious Trials, Battlegrounds or PVP where damage is what is needed then I think you will struggle. The point here is to maximise your DD which will be hard on a magica based NB. Someone may know a way but I dont.

Well. only reason I would like to do trials is to see the adventure there and one I want to do for the Dro'm-athra skin but I cant, because my visual impairnment makes me bad in group situation so its basically for easy dungeons and PVE like you said. Damage is not an issue, I like it killing slow rather than fast, but since my RP build requires constant use of shadowy disguise, the magicka is a problem... Maybe I have to take a look on the CP trees again to get some help there and as you saidm glyphs and sets.. I currently use magus/Seducer 5 piece both.

Hum, well do you use a bow on both bars? What I’d suggest for soloing is a bow on your front bar and a resto on your back bar. Resto heavies are great.

I’d also make sure you use siphoning strikes for sustain - top ability in the siphoning tree.

Rather than seducer’s I’d look at damage sets too. In dungeons I’d use a lightning back bar and heavy with that.

When I first started I was a magblade with a bow too. Something about it is just nice looking and I found it easier to light attack weave with a bow.

You can also build around the magblades spectral bow? There are some cool visuals you can try with elven styles that will give it a bright "holy" looking glow. If you're going for something dark, look at some of the crown store bows.

As for mag regen with a bow, you can play with weapon enchants/jewlry enchants or using hybrid gear sets to help you get the most out of your build!

You can switch colors in the options, if it can help ^^ And i think, there are some guilds, who can help you through that too.

I am not offending, but there might be possiblities

You could try getting the Arch-Mage set. You have to get it from Cropsford in Cyro though, or buy it from traders, as it's BoE. The armour pieces are light, so you may want to get hold of weapons and jewelry.

The Arch-Mage
LEVEL 50 - CP 160
Type PvP
Set bonus
(2 items) Adds 129 Magicka Recovery
(3 items) Adds 129 Spell Damage
(4 items) Adds 1096 Maximum Magicka
(5 items) When you use a fully-charged Heavy Attack, you restore 834 Magicka.

You can try dufferent sets and skills to use. First is incapicating strike on bow bar if you do light and heavy attacks. https://eso-skillbook.com/skill/incapacitating-strike

You can also use siphoning strikes on any bar if you use light and heavy attacks. https://eso-skillbook.com/skill/siphoning-attacks

You can also use elemntal drain on your destruction staff if you have it slotted. https://eso-skillbook.com/skill/elemental-drain

Siphon spirit is an alternative to elemnal drain if you are using restoration staff. https://eso-skillbook.com/skill/siphon-spirit

Also deep thoughts from pisijic order skill line will solve all you sustain problems, but you have to be stationary and not doing anything. https://eso-skillbook.com/skill/deep-thoughts

Last skill is nice if you kill as you only get resources if you skill. https://eso-skillbook.com/skill/consuming-trap

Here are some sustain sets you can choose from.
1- Amber plasm
2- blood thorn
3- bright's throat boast
4- false god devotion (very good if you kill)
5- hollowfang thirst
6- sheoud of lich
7- syrabane grip (very good against magicka users)
8- senchal defender ( good if you do heavy attacks)
9- vestment of warlock ( long cooldown but lots of resources when activated)
10- vesture of darloc brea ( works active while using shadowy disgiuse)

Last 2 sets are my personal favorite. All sets mentioned are very easy to acquire. Some from trials and dungeons but you don't need to do veteran to get the sets, you can do nornal and get them. Overland sets are cheap except for bright thoat is a bit expensive.

You can use darloc Brae that Regen Magicka while crouching. You can also use mundus and jewelry glyphs and Magicka regen food. I run a stamblade like yours with 1400 magicka regen and it works fine. I also have a magblade with 3k magicka regen and dual swords front bar. That one runs bright throat with Amber plasm. There are things you can do that will still keep you in a good enough damage level that you don't even need to worry about being too compromised for RP.
