Rip all the brave souls staying in melee lol. Nice video, looks like a really fun build.

I was legit terrified of you getting emp a few days ago when DC almost took all the keeps.

This would have been an emp video if that happened

Ah well, so close.

timidobserver · April 2016

This would be a very powerful emp build. This is perhaps the only time that I have wanted to see a DC get emp.

MichYodias · April 2016

I was trying to big Ern to do it on true flame but he refused.

Soris · April 2016

Did you try this with vicious death? I guess it would be peak point of this build if vicious added.

In my other video the last clip I'm running Vicious and in one clip in this video I am too (the one outside the scroll temple area). Almost every time I run it (and I pull it out from time to time to give it another chance), it rarely gets to proc in optimal situations, and you lose a lot of needed stats using it.

Very interesting Setup, would u maybe make a buildvideo too?

MichYodias · April 2016

VD would be so good on a temp emp build tho. Spec for more damage. You'll naturally have more health and big shields. Add in big proxy and spell dmg/ mag pools that make VD hit hard lol. I'd be afraid and stay max range away lol.

Was rooting for you to get it even though I'm EP because I really want to see this build in action with Emp. Looking forward to that montage if and when it does happen--keep grinding!

I may eventually do that, but until recently I've been changing around the build a lot. Have a few more things to test, then I should be good to go, but i think it's 90% complete right now.

A thing of beauty.

Are you using the absorb magicka morph of defensive posture? I ran a 58k health dragonknight at the dawn of 1.6 just to troll some people. It's a super cheap ability that heals for 15% of your max health and also soaks up a projectile. Granted, that was before the heal debuff was implemented in Cyrodiil.

I tried it, but much prefer the other morph. I can't be sure, but it didn't seem like Absorb Magicka stopped the stuns from spells like Crystal Frags, while Defensive Stance would - and also stunned them, helping manage the incoming damage and helping with my DPS. And as you mentioned, with the heal debuff in Cyrodiil, it doesn't heal as much anymore (and can't crit either).

Nice video. Quick serious question:

- I'm assuming you run vamp. Why run vamp with a high health build? Just for the ulti?

High health works great with vamp - reduces the impact of increased fire damage, and Camo Hunter. The near death passive kicks in a higher health than if you had low health. But mainly, the increased magicka/stamina regen and Clouding Swarm are the main reasons I run vamp.

Running with Fasalla I take it also.

Just to make the cheese stronger.

This is cheese but no skill det+soul tether+VD is ok?

This build is 100% hard countered by ranged dps, its not cheesy, its specifically designed to negate melee builds

Are you implying that I think its bad because its cheesey? Oh no my friend..I absolutely love Cheese builds like this.

You come up with a cheese ball build like this a do a video..I will watch it because they're 9/10 bloody hilarious and awesome to watch.

Just a few of the clips. Not running with Fasalla as much these days.

Sypher · April 2016

Had a very painful 1v1 against you few days ago I believe. Had to put like 30 executes into you... Very tanky and those 10k blazing shields were scary.

The_Legendary_Arya · April 2016

Could u maybe tell which Sets u are wearing or recommenting for this kind of build?
And does Blazing Spear procc Skoria or how do u get it to proc?

Sadly such cheezy builds is one of the reason why zos can't fix Sun Shield in PvP by simply exclude it from Battle Spirit.

You have no idea how much you have to sacrifice to run this build, or how many pots you burn.

Pots and "sacrifices" not affecting Blazing Shield, unlike Battle Spirit. ~20k damage shield without Battle Spirit...

Not sure why you're blaming a build that uses current game mechanics that ZoS decided to implement as the reason Blazing Shield is the way it is. Blame the Battle Spirit band-aid and Zenimax for the current design.

But since it is affected by Battle Spirit, these builds can be done without being too powerful. Obviously without Battle Spirit, Blazing Shield would be OP. As of now, it's a very weak skill that only works if you focus 100% on maximizing that skill.

I'm currently running:

5 Seducer heavy
2 Bloodspawn (medium/light)
3 Endurance jewelry (all magicka regen enchants)
1h/shield on one bar, dual wield on second bar, both with whatever set you want that gives health as the first bonus
Health enchants and impen on everything (shield can have reinforced since you eventually will get the CP passive that increases it by 75%)
Atronach mundus
Use tristat purple food.

Blazing Spear procs Skoria, as does jabs, entropy. One of my builds uses Skoria and the Serpent's Spirit set from TG, which can proc each other. Serpent's does AoE poison damage when it procs, and those DoT's can proc Skoria, and vice versa. But I usually run this build when running with a group for more DPS and not solo as it doesn't have as much survivability (lower regen and no Bloodspawn).

I'm still testing other combinations, and have a few more things I'm looking to try. Running health+magicka regen drink gives you more options as to what armor sets you can run (you don't have to focus on getting regen bonuses so much), but your magicka/stamina is lower. It still works (as my first video was using this), but you have to be a bit more aware of your resources because you'll run out sooner if you go too crazy with the shields.

Thank u really much! Thought Seducer is best too, will maybe swap 3 Endurance+2 1hs for 5 Fasalla and have to decide between bloodspawn and Skoria. Will have to manage Stam regen somehow, but ill test around a bit.
7/7 impen is must have or is 4/7 with 3 Infused for more Health better?
