INTRO:

This build is meant to play solo or in a small group (2 to 6)
PROs: Good sustained damage + solid single target damage + Minor maim debuff provides good tankiness
CONs: vMSA or Master Destro Flame Staff are hard to get (RNG base)

FULL BUILD DETAIL:

Unbuff stats on destro bar

SETS

WHY WIZARD RIPOSTE SET? The debuff on resto bar is really good since it will last 15 secs & will apply even with shields on as long as the damage incoming is a crit one. The best part is this resto staff is easier to obtain since there is a merchent in vivec city selling particularly resto staff boxes.
WHY SHACKLEBREAKER SET? To be able to have a solid 14.5k stamina while using witchmother's brew, shacklebreaker set is essential. Besides that being a vampire + the stamina regen bonus on that set could give us up to 800/900 stamina recovery.

CP

Very straight forward and generic. Just make sure u have more points into Bastion and some into crit damage. Also, do remember to put up to 23% into Master-At-Arms CP

SKILLS

Some skills are interchangable. Executed can be swapped for - Double take, Inner Light, mark target & Ele.Drain are good as well
Optional ultis are soul assult, destro ulti or soul tether

STATS SHEET

Unbuff:

COMBACT GAMEPLAY

Combos & Tips – 8:10 in video. Highly recommandable! (watching the whole vid is good as well :P)
Short version: Apply all dots and buffs during combat. Then get merciless ready before going in for the damage.
The easiest combo would be meteor > Fire clench (CC) > merciless > S.Soul > Executed
Try to always keep shadow image up too since it is the best escape skill in the game.

LAST WORDS:

Thanks for reading until the end! Feel free to gimme some constructive feedback!

It looks nice. But for no CP you 100% should run skoria. It's just as strong as the Stam proc sets IMO. Very nice burst.

I'm also curious about your maim uptime with riposte on back bar.

NightbladeMechanics · June 2017

Shackle's continuing FOTM confounds me as much as Annulment's popularity on mageblade. Both are utterly mediocre.

Also Bastion is a mathematically dead star if you insist on shielding, even on sorc, Undaunted sets are too good to pass up, and using Swallow Soul in a group is a sin.

Yup. No reason to give up Undaunted with the abundance of split bar sets out there. Also is it just me or is Valkyn underwhelming in CP play? I've been favoring Blood Spawn there, and Valkyn in non CP. I just haven't felt much from Valkyn in CP.

And Riposte is 100% uptime on anyone putting damage on you. The buff lasts 15 seconds, refreshes its own duration, and reapplies on the next crit when purged.

The gameplay video is up now. In the video u can see I face up against many many proc blades. I felt that resto ulti 30% damage reduction + light armor shields are really solid to prevent getting bursted down instantly by multiple stamblades. But well I am not a fan of heavy or healing type of magNB so I guess I just like to have a nice solid 9,10k shield

Yes the shield makes the class more forgiving, but it's not necessary to survive those fights with heavy mitigation sets like Riposte, even in light armor.

When you post everything about the build, it would be nice to show case the set bonuses themselfs. Would appreciate it.

TheStealthDude · June 2017

I was just thinking about using meteor on my mageblade today. Does Meteor + Fear + Merciless work effectively? Does Merciless get empowered that way (presuming no light attacks between meteor and merciless, I guess)?

yup it does get empowered by the passive. Or you could even empower your meteor with entrophy as well

That's almost always my burst combo, occasionally tether but it's more situational. I like the empower, fear, meteor, merciless and then if skoria procs as well lol gg

Waffennacht · June 2017

To OP:. Have you considered heavy armor with Shackle breaker? I run it and mathematically cannot find a heavy set that gives the amount of raw stats, if not would you consider trying heavy?

Hmm with heavy I might drop the light armor shield and just go high recovery with mutagen+leeching vines. But for me personally I sort of dislike heavy because your skills cost so much magicka without the magicka cost reduction from light armor passive. and besides that 23k physical resist+25k magicka resist on light armor is tanky enough for me at least

Shacklebreaker is great with full tri glyphs and mag/mag recovery food. Plenty of health and stamina. Allows me to run shuffle on my sorc it's great.

This. Sorcs don't even put many points (if any) into Bastion anymore (unless they don't care about min maxing and just put cp wherever they want). With the HoT's that a magblade has, I'm not sure why you'd run points into bastion either.

Nice build otherwise, other than the lack of 2pc undaunted which are really strong atm.

I thought you couldn't empower meteor because it empowers itself.

backbar riposte is a nice idea. enjoyed the video

you have great production on your videos.

In regards to the shackle portion, are you referring to it as a mediocre set in all circumstance or just in application to the magicka nightblade?

Adenoma · July 2017

Shacklebreaker seems very mediocre in CP environments. For magicka builds it has nice applications allowing you to run witchmother's in no-CP with triglyphs. Saying this more from a MagWarden perspective because I don't end up sacrificing damage because of the max magicka bonuses.

Also I can't think of a way to get that much magicka in heavy than Necro + Shackle. The only other combo I can think of would be Seducer heavy + Necro with tri food but you get 0 Stam Regen, and I value Stam Regen above Max Stam on a mag character

Magıc · July 2017

I run shackle with trifood personally. Don't value witchmothers very highly at all. The regen isn't enough for the health/magicka you sacrifice. Ghastly eye drink thingy was very good, and was perfect with trainee, but rip trainee.

Why are you stacking max magicka in particular in heavy?

For no CP shields - I have found most of my success comes from heavy + shields
