Hello all,

This is my first post so go easy on me, and let me say this is my first ever MMO adventure. So my knowledge on the best way to build a character is VERY limited.

I am currently ranking up my second character. My first was a stamina Nightblade, which I got to V2, but It felt too squishy for my lack of skill, and this one is a Magicka Templar. Built upon a Dark Elf...with fire resist, and additional fire damage.

my build is as currently level 35

My end game focus is as follows: Please feel free to suggest improvements etc. I am also leaving enchantments and traits out of this for now, as I have no idea on what is best. Would like advice?

Bar 1: Destruction Staff (Distance – Opener) - Inferno Staff

Destructive Clench, Vampire’s Baine, Dark Flare, Backlash (swap out for purifying light - maybe?), Breath of Life, Empowering Sweep (Ultimate)

Bar 2: Sword & Shield (Up close – Attack Bar)

Radiant Oppression, Puncturing Sweeps, Shield Assault, Blazing Shield, Channelled Focus, Dawnbreaker of Smiting (Ultimate)

Rotation: This suits me, but may be no where near ideal.

Bar 1 - rotation

Dark Flare (-30% Healing + 20% Next Attack)
Vampires bane (increase spell critical + DOT with extra flame damage),
Light attack(s)
Vampires bane (increase spell critical + DOT with extra flame damage),
Destructive Clench (DOT effect with extra flame damage)
Heavy attack
Activate Backlash
Optional - Drop ultimate (Empowering Sweep) especially if the gap closes to you before you bar swap

Repeat rotation on (Bar 1) if at distance, or swap to (Bar 2) to get up close

Bar 2 – rotation

Gap Closer with Shield Assault (2 Second Stun),
Light attack(s)
Attack with Puncturing Sweeps (Also heals) & light attack(s) until till below 50%
Execute with Radiant Destruction
Drop ultimate (Solar Disturbance (On you) or Dawnbreaker of Smiting) to finish if Execute didn’t.

Drop Channel Focus, (On you) shield Buff + Magicka Regen if Magicka and Health are getting low (or in trouble)
Swap to bar 1 for Breath of Life (Heal).

Start rotation again
