✭✭✭✭✭You need the right race, Altmer, Breton or Dunmer.
You need the right buffood. At least blue buffood, green would be even better and of course max level food only.
You need Inner light
You must make use of the last Undaunted passive (by wearing all 3 armor types) This alone gives you like 1200 Magicka or more.
You also should get some Magicka armor traits and of course get the best possible Magicka enchants.
Well and probably the most important and most annoying thing: Champion points. (which still have no cap yet ! )Auri-El is my lord,
Trinimac is my shield,
Magnus is my mind.

Wouldn't going all into magicka actually increase the strength of Ward?
Yes.
Some shields scale from Health, Hardened Ward scales from Magic.
Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

1. race is Khajiit, I hate high elves.do you have a race passive that gives 10% more magicka. Do you have mage guild abilities slotted? If your a NB, do you have a siphon ability slotted. If your a sorc/NB, have you considered running necropotence set that gives magicka for pets? CP will defs boost your magicka up. Do you have undaunted mettle 2/2? Do you run the mage?
2. Yes, I have meteor, entropy, magelight, etc and all the passives perked.
3. I have some of the vr12, not equiped though, and necropotence really gimps DPS when you can't have MK or a spell dmg armor set.
4. I still need to get a level in the Undaunted line before I can get it to 2/2, I have a heavy Molag kena and I am currently leveling up both medium and heavy armors to 50.
There you go champ. You couldn't have chosen a worse race for a magicka build.:trollin:1 -

Hardened Ward, Harness Magicka. There's the trick to running around with 14k HP.NateAssassin wrote: »
Well as a sorc you don't even really need to shield stack with Hardened Ward in PvE, and the thing I don't get is I had a healer complain about my low health in a vEH pledge, we did the whole thing with no deaths, I just kept my shield up 90% of the time like I normally do.Forestd16b14_ESO wrote: »NateAssassin wrote: »
Well I don't run first into room but I've played with glass cannon type guys before and their DPS is double mine and they never seem to die, unless it's because usually they are a magicka DK.Forestd16b14_ESO wrote: »NateAssassin wrote: »
Would putting every attribute into magicka crush my survivability?Forestd16b14_ESO wrote: »Racial passives, pooling all your attribute points into magicka, enchantments, light armor, food, and so on.
People complain I have low health as it is with 8 into health and structured entropy slotted.
Yes you would those players are know as "glass DPS" and sure there survivability sucks but they don't care when they got that massive DPS..... either though they die in 1 hit..... and for some reason always have to be first into a room and aggro all the enemies before the tank can then immeatly die and start to complain how heals isn't doing there job or tank is..... Never be a glass DPS it is not worth it.
Then there shield stacking which is nice but again not worth it cause as soon as the shields drop one tiny poke and dead. Just add some reinforce to some of those light armor pieces and a few points into health and you should be fine while still having atleast 30K or 35K magicka.
Wouldn't going all into magicka actually increase the strength of Ward?

I chose a race I liked though, and if race change is required for getting high magicka, I would just stop caring as playing as a High Elf or Dunmer is on the lowest of priorities for me on ESO.eventide03b14a_ESO wrote: »NateAssassin wrote: »

I believer only the Templar ward scales from HP, but I could be wrong. Also try Bastion. It really boosts shields.NateAssassin wrote: »

Sure, no problem that it's a low priority for you, but you will most likely not hit the magicka a more magicka friendly race can hit. Ever.Unfortunate magicka warden main.

angelyn✭✭✭✭I too have been wondering how to get that high.Thanks for all the helpful information
I now know I need to focus on the following:
-Grind mats to get V16 gear
-Grind CP
I normally run around with 20k health(inc food I think)..so may look into swapping from blue H&M food to green M food, once I'm more skilled(or have more CP). For now, this gives me a bit of wiggle room. I do have Necropotence set, but with it only going up to V12 (with all traits sturdy) I'll be replacing soon as I have enough mats.
I think many people (including me)don't realise the difference CP can make..you could literally be same level,have same food/gear etc and have massively different stat pools. Seeing a comment above showing how 600 CP can give you like 20% extra , has proved thought provoking. I did know that stat pools increased with CP, but didn't realise how much.
Current mat total 73/ 1350...*runs off to IC to electrocute things *
* hopes ZOS implement CP catch up soon* Edited by angelyn on September 21, 2015 9:02PM0 -

Thanks for the giggle.
