The clever move was the 3 prismatic glyphs.
I've been playing with builds using Shacklebreaker since yesterday and have found a few that run very well in non cp. Stam pool is just slightly low there for a couple of the builds..
But the prismatic glyphs were a clever move. Didn't even think of that.
Got my glyphs ready for morrowind to release on console. As well as all my mats to craft the 5 pieces I need and upgrade them. Let's you use the witches brew for max regen. I'll be running 5 shacklebreaker/ 4 (5 back bar lich)/ 3 willpower using dual wield. Beastly.
His amberplasm/ shacklebreaker build is for sure best in slot for using a staff.
Thanks for posting this, was going to try it out. I only have 2x amberplasm rings, divine amberplasm shoulders, impen chest, impen amber legs, divine amber hat/shoes/waist.
Going to try out impen amber chest, impen amber legs, divine amber shoulders, x2 amber rings, then fill in the rest with shacklebreaker impen (with an infused hat and belt - didnt have trait for impen belt but got 2072 crit resistance without impen belt) with shackle breaker inferno/resto staves. hopefully wont be too bad cause farming amberplasm was so painful (really wanted the 3x purple jewelry lol)
cant wait to try it out on cp campaign.
after the cp setup i've got 36k magicka, 21k health, 13k stam, but 2016 spell dmg 56.7% crit dmg without any procs and brew on. all purple gear. spell power feels bit low tho. 1334 stamina recovery/2006 magicka recovery

that willpower build 2 posts above is interesting though, definitely got the 2 willpower swords and a lich resto staff, wonder which would be better. set this build up too and got 21.3k hp, 38.3k mana, 13.6k stamina 2369 sp and 53% crit with 2247 magicka recovery without lich proc with same CP as build above and 918 stam recovery. get more stam regen (400 more) with amberplasm/shacklebreaker tho. added aegis and degeneration to front bar and getting 42k mana with brew on.
decisions decisions, sorry if im derailing

With inferno passive for 8% more you will get more damage using destro build. Especially with vma spell damage and the 1 extra from shackle.
My spell damage reaches 3.3 that's using all spell damage glyphs. Vma destro. Shackle and Amber giving a spell piece each. And beserk enchant with major sorcery on it all. Shadow will then amplify that damage even further.
Destro allows you to proc frags easier. Get shock and light weaves in. Extra damage and constant pressure instead of telegraphed dw burst.

Like the stats as they seem really well rounded and strong but couldn't listen to audio as I'm at work.

Yah I'm getting 3640 without keep bonus but with berserker/major sorcery. im gonna mess with both its a lot of fun, my frag tooltips are 19k though. shooting star is still GG but dawnbreaker helps line it up better. both builds will be a lot of fun!
gonna try curse/degen/frag/aegis/inner light with dawnbreaker then backbar mages wrath/healing ward/empowered ward/aegis/streak/lights champ
ok but for real going to stop derailing, this person posted a great build, apologies.

I've played with both. Destro staff only gives a 2% damage increase over dual wield swords. I don't like mindlessly spamming crushing shock with light attacks. I empower all my frags and curses.

unless the tooltip doesnt show it (like it does for everything else) curse doesnt get empowered
this ain't a solo pvp build, more like a group play burst build. Surviving morrowind while solo with this build is not possible.
Had actually gone back over my cp after making this and swapped it around to get more mit.Move points out of ele defender and hardy and put them into ironclad and dotdmgreduction. Those offer general protection against magica + stamina while also scaling better (25% on direct + dot reduction vs 15% on physical + magical).
Edit: Imo getting more absolute dmg reduction far outweights the benefits of accessing unchained.

It does give 5% More mit but unchained is nice if you run shuffle
Since that mitigates more than 5%

Have you found your dmg to be sufficient so far?
I´m personally running 5 bloodthorn 5 lich + monster set (one cost reduction enchant) and even with kena 2p i struggle to kill the average shieldstacking zergsorc.
The dmg reduction this patch seems unreal and i don´t like it- people just don´t die.

3.3k buffed
Inferno 8%
Shadow 12%
More than enough
In no cp drop shadow for serpent if sustain is an issue

For open world no cp i totally agree remove harness for dark deal. For cp i use different build which i find quite a bit stronger which is 5shackle-5alteration mastery 1 maelstorm . The reason its stronger with cp is u get 16% less costs in ur dodge and break free so u dont really need more than 1k stam reg. Nonetheless shackle+witchmother+ 3 prismatic will be sorc meta this patch.
Also use streak and destroy every stamina build outhere instead of useless bol

mind sharing few more details on shackle + alt ? such as jewel glyphs, mundus etc ?
also, how would you adapt shackle + alt for no cp bg ?
Thanks

I think alteration mastery is BiS for no-CP. it reduces everything.
The math says that amber plasm is much more efficient than shackle, since you get more overall set bonuses worth of stats with amber you can recover the stamina into your build easier by dropping witchmothers

Can you switch out bloodthorn for something with more damage? You see, ZOS wants you to heavy attack for resources, rather than having infinite.
A low damage high regen build just isn't viable except in no-CP land (where they're arguably OP). I tried a Lich-Seducer build with similar results.
