Character Stats:
These are my stats when I am holding my destro staff:
The Build:
Basic Set-Up:
Destro Bar:
Inner Light: Toggled spell, provides 5% Magicka, provides Major Prophecy buff.
Reflective Light: Fire-based skill, provides 3 ultimate every 6 seconds, provides Minor Sorcery to you and allies, hits up to 3 targets
Spell Symmetry: Slotting this grants helpful magicka passives, use to exchange life for magicka
Elemental Blockade: Fire DoT ground AoE, also used to provide the buff from your Maelstrom Staff.
Structured Entropy: Slotting this spell grants a boost to health and magicka, use to gain Major Sorcery and empower.
Empowering Sweep: Slotted strictly for the passive (increased critical strike damage by 10%)
DW Bar:
Inner Light: Must be on both bars because it is a toggled ability
Radiant Oppression: Class execute. Start executing at 20% or below
Channeled Focus: Self buff, provides Armor, spell resistance and magicka return. Keep it down for sustain.
Blazing Spear: AoE ground spell. Slotting provides Aedric Spear passive.
Structured Entropy: Slotted for passives--this is your floating skill, place whatever you'd like here
Shooting Star: Ultimate damage spell, fire based, returns some ultimate per mob hit, empower before use by pushing Entropy.
Rotation:Single Target/AoE: Sustain Channeled Focus, Sustain Entropy buff, throw Blazing Spear on the mob(s), put down Elemental Blockade, medium weave Reflective Light 3-4 times. Restart. Reapply buffs as needed. Execute at 20%.
*This build depends on a combination of Channeled Focus and Elemental Drain for sustain on long fights. If no one in your party is providing Ele Drain, put it on your destro bar. If your sustain feels bad, swap a jewelry enchant to cost reduction instead of spell power.
**
New things in TG: Elemental Wall received a GREAT buff! Having magicka damage included in Elemental Expert from the CP tree was a NICE BUFF to our Spear and Execute.**
I'm in the process of making new MoL videos and getting some new screenshots up. Any that I have so far are included in the sections below.
