Most have Fasalla's, many are in Reactive, a couple in Seducer, and the last clip is using Vicious Death. Also, many are running the health + magicka regen food, but a couple might be in purple tristat food. Not sure if any clips made it when I was running Bahraha's Curse. I think I'm very close to finalizing the gear I'm going to use, although I will probably have different setups for running solo/small group vs. running with a large group.
Do you ever work proxy det into your rotation?
Because of my low magicka and spell damage, it doesn't hit hard. Tried it when I first started testing but it was only hitting for like 2-4k damage.Watch my PvP Videos on YouTube

✭The absolutely BEAUTIFUL thing with builds like this are that you are encouraged to NOT run away, contrary to almost every other build out there. With my set up using permafrost and orgnums are that I still seem to have a hard time getting my health up, but in order to block more I sacrifice a lot of magica regen for block cost reduction4 -

✭The biggest issue in running across is trying to ensure a hard hitting blazing shield against impen builds. So I'm juggling between crit damage and spell penetration. Another issue is I don't even KNOW if spell penetration affects blazing shield0 -

✭Don't try it guys, I've done more blazing shield builds than i can think of and you get a few kills if your lucky enough to find enough bads. Anyone with more than 10IQ is just going to laugh at how helpless you really are like a magikarp.

Last patch I made it work with kags and was the tankiest rez Templar in the game. You can also perform a scouting role quite well. In this patch you can be a left click siege hero in dangerous locations on a BS build.AbraXuSeXile wrote: »Don't try it guys, I've done more blazing shield builds than i can think of and you get a few kills if your lucky enough to find enough bads.

I agree it's not as easy as it looks and hard to get kills - you play with barebones mag and stam and resource management is difficult.
For me it wasn't about the kills, it was the cathartic ability to have a 15 min long solo or smallman fight and give wrobel's oneshot dps meta the middle finger. Yes, I trolled many a red and yellow on the build, but quite a few would whisper me after fights and express how much they enjoyed the long fight. anything that encourages longer fights and shifts away from the perpetual dps metas weve had is good in my book.
The drawback is how many potions you burn through...

Do heavy staff attacks return a percentage of your magicka pool or a base amount? If the latter, staff on off bar might be something to consider for the low magicka pool.Make Rush of Agony "Monsters only." People should not be consecutively crowd controlled in a PvP setting. Period.1 -

✭Yeah, hard for some folks to imagine not giving two *** about getting the kill. But we love the troll! Another fun part about fighting solo ranged builds, if they realize you're not doing any damage, they kinda "forget" to defend themselves and focus everything on damage, so when ur shields about to pop, a good timed charge will *** their worlds up, kinda funny watchin them stop DPS and stumble back like..."WTF JUST HAPPENED". needless to say I have learned on my magick temp to stay away from those builds. One build I would LOVE to have is a particular AD temp on NA haderus. He has 63k health and seems ten times more survivable than me, hell jump into a half raid of enemies solo and WRECK FACE. At 63k health his shield hits for over 10k a pop...0 -

Synozeer✭✭✭✭✭If you stack health to 63K then you are pretty much sacrificing other stats like regen and good 5 piece set bonuses. I prefer more survivability and utility with this kind of build rather than just making it just a zerg diver.

I've run 60K+ hp before. Definitely not optimal. But if i wanted a more optimal build I probably wouldn't run a shield build. Plus, it was either that or put on my Akatosh and troll around like that. Which is all good and fun until you remember you are wearing lvl 48 armor...
Awesome video though. Fun to see other people playing away from the easy meta.Edited by PenguinInACan on April 7, 2016 10:51PMMarek™1 -

Sorry to be clear, he gave off the impression of a Templar tank by using blazing shield to take advantage of the big health pool bonus.
So to someone who didn't realize that he was emperor it would appear as though he was just a high health Templar blazing shield tank.0 -

Ah I see what you're saying, I guess even if you don't ordinarily run a blazing shield build it makes sense to slot it as emp since you just get a lot of hp regardless, those shields are insane as emp on an actual blazing shield templar!0 -

@danno8 - I run with that player. That was a templar with high health, but wasn't the blazing shield "tank" that invests all their resources into health the way the OP's build does. Rather, I would gather it's an emperor build with a high enough health pool to do the sorts of things a dedicated blazing shield build can do, plus what a more traditional magicka templar can do.

With the only difference that you shield and deal damage at the same time. And with that much HP it should be possible for him to oneshot players using the shield.
I have to say though, this is the funniest build I've run in a long time. Especially when players run away just from looking at you.

✭nay 24k shield huh? Say that again when you remember that it increases up to 24% when around enemies. Also that shield when it pops and cries will hit for your entire health pool. It is "literally" the strongest hitting ability in game, although you need to be emp to get those numbers, it makes it possible to hot AOE (!!!!!) for potentially 30k health to ALL ENEMIES around you.... that is ridiculous... and for the naysayers saying you need to be specced health for it to bee effective, my 27k magic build has a 6k shield, which is higher than healing ward cast at full health.

It is such a niche case it was barely worth mentioning.
And it's no more scary than other Emperor builds that have 80k magicka or stamina giving them massive shields and damage from normal spammable AoE or magicka detonation.0 -
