Need help deciding my NB

GazettE · April 2016

What do you guys think about magicka bosmer Nb? Currently im running lvl 45 stamina bosmer nb and i want to change into magicka build, should I reroll breton/altmer? Is 9% magicka recov or 3% spell reduc and 10% max magicka really worth it?

And 1 more thing, does concealed weapon not necessary over funnel health or force pulse for single target dps magblade?

Thank you

I think theres already a thread about dps as a magblade so that should answer your last question. As for the first about bosmer, its up to you whether minmaxing bothers you enough to relevel a different race.

Personally i think bosmer is still a decent choice, not for max magic damage or sustain but you will bave a benefit from their stealth passive and stamina to sneak and break free if you like to pvp.

Well, you need fruit for magicka and vegetables for stamina, and my Bosmer thinks that's total bull ***. He's been eating the cake for the buff then throwing it back up. *** bananas. He's not sure about the honey. It's bee vomit, after all.

His meat diet lets him be a pretty decent NB tank, though. It's cheating a bit with Orzoga's meat-based fare, but not as much as a cake. And it's not like you can walk 10 feet in Wrothgar without eating grinder tears...

do you guys think Dunmer is a good choice for flexibility NB build? magicka and stamina?

The pve dps builds i have seen suggest funnel health or force pulse as the spammable in their dps build. With no concealed weapon.

If you are primarly a pvp player I would just stick as bosmer, but if you pve alot reroll.
PVE use funnel health
PVP use concealed weapon

If I reroll, do you think dunmer is a good choice for both build? or I cant have min max with both build in 1 char?

My favorite is my Altmer Magicka NB that extra regen is nice. The Breton is a bit more sturdy with the extra Spell Resist, but lacks the 3% to elemental damage.

Dunmer is good, but considering the only firebased things you use will be staff abilities the benefit of of it is limited, and with no regen or cost reduction bonuses the DPS sustain will be similar to the Bosmer.

I also leveled a wood elf stamina NB, but later went to Magicka on him and it works fine. You can use it with the bat swarm that makes you invisible for 10% extra damage. As mentioned for PvP, Bosmer is a great choice, but for PvE I would level one of the more magicka based choices.

That's about the same level I switched my wood elf stamina nightblade to magicka. I've been pretty happy with it. It won't get you to the top of some random leaderboard, but it works well enough to play the content. Most people won't notice or care that you're a wood elf if you play it well.

All the best bonuses come from armor passives, stats/buffs, and champion points anyway. The more of that stuff you get, the less important racial passives become in the long run.

And I prefer funnel health over the others, but that's because I'm not using a race that buffs force pulse over funnel health. Concealed weapon does quite a bit of damage but it's melee range, and not ideal imo for PvE caster dps due to AoE dmg from a lot of bosses.

@ztyhurstub17_ESO, you're forgetting the FOTM: Proxi Det.

Not forgetting, just don't think it is worth leveling a new toon for a FOTM PvP build that may get nerfed. That said... Prox-Det does magicka damage, so Dunmer would not get benefit from that, but a Bosmer would get an extra 10% if the Prox-Det happened while in stealth/invisible. If you are running the Vicious Death bomb build then that is fire damage and I believe you would get your Dunmer bonus on it.
