How do people Get over 30k Magicka>

leepalmer95 · July 2015

I decided to restat to a Dest/s+b magicka Dk yesterday, currently im on 22.5k Magic (with food) , how are people getting 30k+ magicka?

Is it because i have terrible gear now i've reset? , or because im a Imperial?

User gear sets with magicka, and put attribute points into magicka as well. All magicka enchants.

Wrong choice of equipment, stat distribution, enchants and skill loadout. Race does have an influence, but does not necessarily prevent you from reaching 30k.

Also the mage mundus stone.

My sorc gets 35k max magicka with a spell damage build, a guild mate even got to 44k max magicka with his max magicka build. The sources I get my max magicka from:
-Altmer racial passive 10%
-all 62 attribute points into magicka
-all gold magicka enchants
-Undaunted Mettle passive 6%
-Bound Aegis 8% or Inner Light 7%

All these percentages really add up, you can also use the Mage mundus for extra magicka but I use the Atronach mundus for magicka regen.

Outside Cyrodiil my health is pretty low so I need at least 2k health from enchants/attribute points, you get this from the Imperial racial passives so you probably dont have to put much in health (18-19k health usually is enough).

You should be able to reach at least 28-30k max magicka, what kind of sets are you using for your S&B/resto DK?

Currently i use:

The apprentice Mundus

Random training fire staff (just switched to dest is low)
Random S+B

Helm - Cyrodiil light
Chest - Torugs pacts - medium
Shoulders - random blue
Waist - Random Waist
hand - Cyrodiil light
Legs - torug pact medium
Boots - torug pact

All are magicka enchanted.

Necklace - random green with healthy. Reduce magicka cost
2x cryodiils light ring, - Reduce magicka cost

Skill bar 1:

Destructive Reach
Structured Entropy
Dragon Fire Scale
Molten Armamants
Inferno

Skill bar 2:

Flame lash
GDB
Burning Talons
Infero
Retreating Manuever

All class passives
Destructive is lvl 29 at the moment
S+B is lvl 9 (LOL)

I just hit vet 6.

You're comparing yourself to people that are higher level than you with better equipments. Being vet6 , you still have 8 attribute points to consider (among other things)

Leandor · July 2015

Instead of inferno, use inner light from mages guild. it gives you the same crit boost (the difference is just a UI error) and the lost damage due to the fire balls is more than made up by the additional 7% magicka.

Keep in mind that all percentage increases also increase the value you get from e.g. magicka enchants or set bonuses.

Slotting meteor adds another 2% if you have the mages guild passive.

At Vet6, you do not yet have access to the best enchants and sets. 21k at Vet6 is actually quite decent.

Complete your sets. None of your items equipped at the moment adds max. magicka set bonus. At V14, a single max magicka set bonus is worth 900 magicka + whatever you have in regards to percentage based magicka increasing perks.

It varies by class. Here is my Sorcerer:

I do have the Emperorship Bonus at the moment, my Health is usually 17,000 on the dot, so imagine that instead of the 18.8k it shows. I get this Magicka from the Undaunted passives, all magicka enchants, I have all my Attribute Points in magicka, I use Inner Light and Bound Aegis and all of these stats are with VR10 Blue Health/Magicka food.

To hit 40k+ you need to be using a Master Staff (I don't) and The Mage Apprentice (I don't), that or stack other sets that give lots of +magicka as a set bonus but that's not the best way to hit maximum DPS.

As a DK you lack Bound Aegis but you should still be able to hit 30-35k magicka with VR10 Blue food and the right gear/attribute points.

inner light adds 7%, isn't it 2%?

anyway as im on console it's kind of hard to level the mage guild line with add ons, any suggestions?

Leandor · July 2015

The maximised (Rank IV) inner light morph adds 5% maximum magicka and approx. 10% spell crit, but does not reveal stealthed targets. Combine with the Mages Guild passive, slotting and activating it will net you 7%.

Use maps for lore books found on the web. It is not as convenient as an addon, but workable. You need all of your first alliance and maybe half of the second alliance to get it to 10.

5% from active inner light and 2% from mages guild passive.

Septimus_Magna · July 2015

Before you reach vr13-14 you could use the following sets:
-4x Magnus (3x light and 1x medium) + 1x Magnus (destro/resto)
-4x Eyes of Mara (2x light and s&b)
-4x Soulshine (3x jewelry and 1x heavy chest)

This will give you a decent amount of max magicka, spell damage and magicka regen, especially on your S&B bar.
Once you reach vr13-14 you can reach 30k magicka with new gear and set bonus.

Merlin13KAGL · July 2015

Didn't know if this was mentioned or not:

Necropotence with familiars active will also get you an insane amount of magicka, though your overall DPS is likely to go down. (Don't think there are as many people running this as there used to be.)
Use sets, as opposed to random drops, as mentioned. Upgrading the quality (wouldn't bother going higher than purple at VR6) will increase the set bonus, as well.
CP's , you get extra Attribute bonus every time you place a point in the appropriate constellation (Warrior = + health, Thief = + stamina, Mage = + magicka). This, along with the percentage bonuses add up quickly.

Is this in cyrodill? Just unlocked inner light, it's helped a bit, i now need to grind my staff and s+b somewhere i guess.

Shader_Shibes · July 2015

My Dunmer dk has 37k magicka (master inferno staff) and 19.5k hp, more with emp buff. She uses the apprentice mundus also, so would be more with mage mundus^^. All enchants are magicka on legendary armours, undaunted passives and uses inner light and 330+ cp's.

Thelon · July 2015

Pet build is 40k + rawr

Fasold666 · July 2015

As a sorc you can can even get close to 50k magicka.
But if it's still viable...that's another question.

Kinda easy when you have to decide between stamina or magicka cause health doesn't have that many ..... positives so to speak. So dumping all your points in it is one way along with enchantment and so on cause again health doesn't much bonuses except the ovious one of not dieing.
