Magicka Nightblade Spell Rotation
Lawhawk
✭
I have built a magicka nightblade similar to Deltia's Umbra http://deltiasgaming.com/eso-magic-nightblade-dps-build/
Right now I am working on the solo play build (in consideration of MSA double rewards coming next week). He is somewhat vague on spell rotation. I wanted some folks to check my work. This is my first DPS class so I may be way off-base.
Should I modify this somehow?
Should I light attack weave between every spell?

Lawhawk✭I left out that if I need to regen magic I throw in some heavy attacks on my 2nd bar

pcar944✭✭✭✭here's mine:
buff with Siphoning + Merciless
twisting path/blockade
on trash: spam sap essence
on boss: light attack and cripple, light attack and swallow/pulse weave
when twisting/blockade go down reapply + light attack in between reaplying Merciless and Cripple
use Inner Light before you cast Meteor to empower your next attack
Deltia has a nice explanation but its not for 1Tamriel, but it works still
One Tamriel killed PVP
DC Magicka Orc Necromancer climbing those ranks ...0 -

you can't empower meteor, it 100% has no effect to try4 -
Lawhawk✭"Summon a mote of mage light to enhance your spell casting, granting you major prophecy, which increases your spell critical rating by 2191"
I don't say this sarcastically: doesn't summon mean I have to cast it?0 -
No, inner light passively grants prophesy when slotted. Activating it will empower your next attack via the mage guild passive and reveal stealthed opponents, but you get the spell crit just by slotting it.0 -
catpower✭✭✭No, you just put inner light on your bar and you get the crit bonus. You activate it to show hidden enemies I think, I never click it, but when I slot it my crit goes up.0 -
Hookgrin✭✭✭Deltia used to say to activate Mage Light to empower Meteor but then it was revealed here that Empower does not work on Dots, which Meteor is.
Deltia says in his Templar Omega build video to open by activating Mage Light and then throw a heavy attack followed by Meteor, the heavy attack gets Empowered and then Meteor empowers the next attack. The only reason for doing that at the opening is to get those long casts fired off before the DPS timer starts, which will make your parse look better. I don't think it is intended to be part of the rotation.
You activate Mage Light only for the purpose of triggering the Might of the Guild passive which grants Empower if you have two skill points on it.
Here's another rotation: https://youtube.com/watch?v=rUem1l_ILAE

Actually, Meteor empowers itself, that's why it doesn't receive any dmg increase from another mages guild skill (except entropy and major sorc)Sarcasm is something too serious to be taken lightly
I was born with the wrong sign
In the wrong house
With the wrong ascendancy
I took the wrong road
That led to the wrong tendencies
I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
On the wrong day of the wrong week
Used the wrong method with the wrong technique1 -
Lawhawk✭Okay. This is all helpful thanks to everyone. Thanks also to shivdaddy for the off-list support.0
