Rare Character Builds (ie. BattleMage, Nightblade Healer)

I've an Altmer battlemage with maxed heavy armor with all the good sorc skills on one bar, and healing on the other. She's only V1 though as I've spent most of my time in my V16 and I dread going through silver and gold again.

With the new changes in Exp at VR Ranks, if your VR1 at the first zone of Silver, you will be VR16 before you finish Gold now. Especially if you grind up to VR3/4 on the zombie road before you start Silver, you will get VR16 with 3rd or 4th zone of Gold and that is with no grinding other than the Vile Lab.

Khajiit Templar

The Catman Rises. Also now with more steel tornado

I wanted to make one of these, particularly after playing through Reapers March and seeing all the moon-temples. The only thing that stopped me was that Stealthy passive. I feel like I'm stuck playing a Nightblade as a Khajiit for this reason. This is where the Champion system really could have shined. I have no doubt you can make good use of it though, with the Templar bonus to crits and khajiit bonus crit chance.

Khajit sorceress.

It has been tough.

I wear 7 heavy 5 seducer two armor torugs pact and my shield is the 3rd torug pact for health. what is soul shine?

Soul Shine is a decent set for Casters. Adds Regen and Spell Damge and Magic. The 5th piece bonus is hit or miss if it procs or not, but it can give another 300 in spell damage (or is it 200, I forget but the number is either 199 or 299 increase)

The thing about Soulshine that makes it so great, is there are 3 Jewelry pieces so I can have two 5 piece sets. The main issue with it is, the Chest piece looks weird without the shoulders and the shoulders are fugly, so I go Legs and Helm and then the two rings and necklace. Once I get this character to VR12, I will put Martial Knowledge on him instead of Soul Shine, maybe mix in some Syrbane.

I currently have Spell Cost Reduction Glyphs on the Jewlery, I might swap those out for Spell Damage instead, but he does have some issues maintaining magic pools in Dungeon Boss fights.

My first Battle Mage had the same set up full jewelry cost reduction 12% cost reduction from the CP the rest in magic regeneration you should think about two light belt and gloves would be best not big armor pieces so you're not lossing must stats.

But yea that with magic and stamina drinks for CC breaking and blocking and you have a sexy build stopped running this for my Battle Mage cause the gear is not VR16 which really hurt my ability to theory craft outside of a few sets.

Personally I am fond of all-NB-groups, NB Healer, 2 NB DDs (magicka and ranged combat preferred), NB magicka sap tank. You completely annihilate 4-men content with such a combo.

NB healers are still some sort of a rare (not ultra rare) species, more and more people change to magicka NBs in PvE because of melee unfriendly bosses (or their own lack in being able to avoid damage as a stamina DD) and that NB tanks are superior when it comes to ressource management is no secret anymore.

4 x sap essence on trash delivers decent overheal for the whole group and apocalyptic dps values.

This is awesome thanks for all the insight. I feel like creating an AoE based monster (health,magika,stamina balanced) for those Vet Pledges that require it. By balanced attributes I mean switch from Magika AoE to Stamina AoE then back to Magika AoE with some passive that restore attributes or just balance out recovery. Maybe like Half Light and Half Medium. Its worth a shot.

Both my Templars are unconventional (and lowbies to boot).

Argonian Stam Templar, using a bow (lvl 11)
Khajiit Magicka Templar (lvl 19) - surprisingly not bad, so far

I have a Sorcerer Tank, and I LOVE HIM!

Much fun to play, found a unique set of skills and using armor master. Not using annoying wards or ugly bound armor either. Let me know if you want to know more.
