Arcanist Jewelry Glyphs

ADarklore

If Arcanist doesn't get any improvements to sustain before going Live, what glyphs will people be using on their Jewelry; reduce skill cost, increased recovery, or stick with increased damage?

Reduced Indeko, Bloodthirsty. Weaving and Heavy Attacking is weird with Arcanist, the flow doesn't feel right. the Tentacle slap annoys me a bit that one morph is a generator and the other is a spender; I'm likely to use the Stamina morph for both Stam and Mag builds since its a generator and use only the Beams for spenders.

I am probably going to go reduced spell cost with infused on at least one with Breton race. The others will be damage focused.

@phaneub17_ESO, do you use the tentacle spell as your spammable? That would definitely feel off but I don’t think that ability was meant to be a spammable. Just my opinion though, for me on magicka, the first ability you unlock (forgot the name) seems a lot smoother.

Using the Stamina morph? I thought resources on that skill was based upon your highest attribute? If not, what skills actually are based on highest resources.?? They made a big deal about this, now it seems only some skills are like that. VERY confusing when trying to come up with a build.

Abyssal Impact is the only ability that has hard cost based on the morph you take, the crux generator morph is Stamina while the crux spender morph is Magicka regardless of your max stats. I do view it as a spammable because of the Abyssal Ink debuff that only comes from this ability and increases damage done from subsequent casts. The Stamina morph also have an execute so I'm definitely going to spam it when targets get low on health between 3 crux beams.

Only some skills have this function, it is written in the skill description!



Skills inside the green mark are the skills that use max stats!

I'll go with three Weapon Damage glyphs for my Khajiit Stamina Arcanist solo build. Even with Inspired Scholarship instead of Recuperative Treatise I could easily sustain parses on both a 6M and Trial Dummy. The sustain in vVH and when soloing the World Bosses in High Isle and Amenos was good too. (I also used the Stamina morph of Abyssal Impact as the spammable by the way.)

As an aside: I didn't look at them in the PTS yet and had no idea that their skill trees were so visually indistinct. That's...not ideal.

Thanks for that. I don't have access to PTS, so I'm relying on websites for information, and even they they don't state which skills are cost determined by max resource, those that do state a cost, have them all listed as Magicka.

Ah okay. That makes sense. I have seen that ability as a way to immortalize targets for the damage beam but that’s why this game is good, both work.
