NB magicka dps build need help

lathbury · June 2015

Hi folks anyone out there know of a magika NB build that will do between 15-20k dps on bloodspawn and in trials I been testing all sorts and cant seem to find something that works.

I found these builds to be amusing http://deltiasgaming.com/category/eso-guides/class-guide/nightblade-class-guide-for-elder-scrolls-online/nightblade-builds/

thanks but those builds are low dps or stamina builds

Go to Tamriel foundry for some good magicka NB builds.This is not a good place for that kind of stuff.Though16-20k is not that easy to pull off these days with a Magicka NB not impossible .
Still the most awesome spec in the game though. Screw the numbers.

It is pretty standard stuff for all magicka builds these days though since 1.6 everybody does the same: stack spell power, stack magicka . get MK,Adroitess,Cyrodill light put CP into reduced cost and anything that gives more damage. It seems that there really is only one end game magicka pve build for all classes.

yeah am running mk adroitness torugs pact still struggling to hit those numbers. I couldnt find anything on foundry was hoping someone would help me out with a link.

Step one: reroll as stamina. There are no magicka nb builds that do even close to that dps.

I havent seen magicka NBs do that much dps, also I think that magicka NBs mainly stack magicka instead of just spell damage. Ive heard that the best magicka NBs have more than 40k max magicka which makes them hit so hard.

Ive been told that magicka nb has a lot of burst power but I dont know.. I see magicka NBs as a good utility build and sustain dps. We may not be the highest in dps numbers but we sure hell can offheal, survive and dps and will be the last man standing.

yeah the question is how? 19k while doing some off healing and having the ability to change some gear and be a healer seems much better for endgame. Plus getting bored of the stam bow dw meta.

Allow me to answer this elusive "HOW":

Assassination ultimate + gold gear + pots + weaving; #nothard

Your assassination ult BOOST YOUR DMG separately from pots & is up every 5-10 secs, as long as you can get away from having to run veil during a raid, you can compete dps wise.
The only things is that if you mess up your weaving medium attacks& whatever other skill, it could be a noticeable drop in dps; can't mess up weaving.
While I like doing flame reach with master destro & crushing shock, you can also still do the funnel cripple thing; it all depends on where your champion points are.
The max dps I've got with this build is around 22k, but that was just testing on a world boss. There haven't been many "really competitive people left in the game nor a reason for me to continue doing sanctum or anything other than pvp.

The guy in the video above however, is using a different technique than I use.
It looks like he's taking advantage of the burst from assassin's will. ALSO & probably the main thing. His Primary Damage comes from HEAVY ATTACK. Which means that's where his champion points are & he's probably using either infallible aether or one of the pvp sets which boost your heavy attacks; or a combo of them both! Valkyn skoria does great damage but isn't proc'ing as much as I would've expected.
Grats to him for finding a nitch, but I could swear I've seen sneakyhabanero doing this same build in pvp only as a dk.

yeah been trying that still not getting near those numbers im not perfect and do mess up the odd weave but tried using medium destro weave for harder attacks and even light weaving with concealed weapon as it hits harder and faster and should proc the bow more but still not even close
