    Rattlecage set

    If I could get the Jewelry and two armor pieces, I could replace my Willpower and crap 2pc Magnus set with it and I doubt I'll lose that much Max Magic in exchange for the massive Spell Damage increase.

    But Farming Vet Vaults of Madness for the Jewelry, oh, sounds delightful...

    Just farm the first boss. Create group. Kill boss. Leave dungeon and reform group. Can get the pieces pretty quick. To get the swords of omens you will need to farm the deadeic Titan. I think it took me like 20-30 runs with a group of 4 to get all the pieces I needed.

    Rattlecage as people have said is the best sollution with 350 base magika damage added 2 arcane rings an arcane necklace and 2 rattlecage legendary items. Instead of slotting entopy you would slot a mage light giving you the missing mage crit plus 2% magika and magika regen. Plus there is another little added bonus to the rattlecage rings they have a reduce cost enchantment that stays on the ring and can be used with a spell damage enchant so you end up with 191 reduced costs plus 174 spell damage per ring.

    Sorry to burst your bubble but that's a tooltip bug. If you look at your skill tooltips the reduced cost doesn't apply, only the damage. Your not actually getting a double bonus. This was fixed many updates ago. I've tested this extensively.

    Lol at "takes up a bar slot" so does ever other class source major sorcery you mentioned. What else are you going to slot instead? Temps only have like 3 or 4 DPS ablitys, sweeps, reflective light, unstable wall(this is the morph you want as a temp, synergizes better with reflective), radiant oppression and maybe blazing spear now. You have plenty of bar room for a skill that gives you 2% more magic and regen. If you had taken structured entropy instead of the one that heals on light and heavys (which as a temp you really do not need more heals), it also gets gives 8% more health.

    Rattle is a bad set. No matter how you look at it.

    The problem with 8% more health is it is only good on the bar it is on, unless you double bar. You are likely to put it on the buff bar so when you are fighting that 8% more health would never be used.

    You are usually one bar more then the others so it doesn't really get to be a problem.

    When I dpsed on my temp, my bars were

    Inner light, structured entropy, Radiant glory, reflective light, sweeps, ulti fire meteor.

    You're serious? You didn't use Dark Flare or any other single target ability? I can understand in PvE that AoE trumps Single Target, but I sometimes take my Templar into Cyrodiil so I have to switch out for Flare and a Knockback, but I guess switching out skills whenever I go into PvP is easy.

    But in terms of PvE content that bar did well for you? Reflective Light is actually good instead of say Elemental Blockade?

    Sweeps are doing way more DPS Single Target as a Dark Flare Build and normaly you use Reflective Light AND Ele Blockade Single Target. Not one or the other.

    Sweeps is way more DPS then dark flare, always has been. Dark flare has never been a good DPS skill for temps. Even for range temps, they use reflective light or force pulse.

    Literally the only thing I would change about that bar for PvP is to remove reflective light for toppling charge. So structured entropy to toppling charge and Then use sweeps while they are down and then glory. Nothing else really ever worked for me in PvP.

    I didn't put my back bar cause I did not have time. And I have not dpsed on my temp in a long time.

    I suppose it would be something like this though.

    Ritual of retribution, breath, repentance, blazing spear, blockade, destro ulti.

    Though if this was a straight dps temp, I would put the other morph of repentance now for mag regen.

    Regardless, rattlecage is a bad set. Good old julinanos, willpower, kena and torags pact swords will out dps that set.

    My Stamblade can get Major Brutality through Power Extraction or Flying Dagger. My Sorcerer can get Major Sorcery through Power Surge. My Dragonknight can get both buffs through Igneous Weapons.

    So, how exactly can I get a reliable source of Major Sorcery on my Magplar besides potions and Entropy?

    Just farm the first boss, the ghost. He's the one that drops the arcane jewelery. Kill him, reset, go back in. Repeat until you have full set.
