Infinite sustain, huge shields, solid damage from the enormous magika pool. You can run 1 kena instead of 1 grothdarr, but since we're stacking magika with this setup I decided to go all in on that and squeeze every ounce of shield that I can.

Yeah, I really don't know how else you get dampen big enough to realistically protect healing ward without making far too many other sacrifices. I suppose you could run 5 lich 2 pirate king 4 X and rely on pirate king procs to effectively increase the size of your shield, but you'd have trouble finding enough damage that way0 -

hmm, I usually que in group finder tool - works well, sometimes it is 30 minutes, sometimes 15, I already got some divines and impen pieces and jewelry in "healthy" trait, I read on the forums someone confirming, that there is also unique jewelry pieces with "arcane" trait.

AzuraKin✭✭✭✭✭i just gotta put out there, rattlecage isnt a good set. if it shared the buff with team, be one thing but sap essence and braain fart the mages dot both give the buff. they are not hard to manage the buff uptime, and both do good things, sap essence is like the ultimate aoe for mageblades and the mage ability (brain farting still) is really good dot (and the empower from using it is best time to use ultimate and/or cripple).v160 spellsword (nightblade)

✭Elegant jewelry 2pc body. Alchemist 4 body and resto. 1 kena Maelstrom Destro. 11-20k plus heavy attacks into Soul assault. Good Night.
@Koolio
Tip for your build, drop the Maelstrom destro and replace it with an elegant inferno staff, then add a max Magicka monster piece into your body slots in place of that elegant piece.
What this will do is give you larger bursts with the 350 spell damage enchant over the consistent 190 spell damage from Maelstrom destro. It also gives you an 1500 Magicka (after passives) which equates to an extra 150 spell damage. So for your bursts you'll be hitting with an extra 310 spell damage worth of extra damage. (Personally I would swap the kena for a different Max Magicka piece as well, means bigger shields and the damage due to night blade max magicka passives is negligible and you get that much bigger shields)2
