magNB solo friendly?

Hambonee · July 2017

I am having issues sorting through all the information..

I have two toons as a new player ..MagTemp and MagBlade

I really want to focus on the nightblade but don't want to be gimped in the things like trying to run vma(solo)..

So, is magic NB able to solo vma pretty easily(as easy as it can be) or should I focus on a Templar? Is a stam NB any better? Any build recommendations? I really don't want to go sorc as that seems to be the rage so stuck between my Templar and NM but (I hate to admit it) roleplaying and coolness factor would like to stick to NB if I am not gimping myself too bad.

Thanks!

MagNB is generally considered an easier class for your first VMA attempts than magplar. You have terrific sustain, self-heals, and damage. Magblade is a great choice, don't worry!

Yeah magblade is fantastic for soloing stuff, even with the Morrowind nerfs to sustain. You can easily plow through most content with Willpower + Julianos as your base gear set.

Magicka Nightblade, Stamina Nightblade, and Magicka Templar are all good roles to attempt vMA, yes.

As you mentioned, you will need optimal gear so that you can really focus on the mechanics.

A simple search in the forums or at external streaming sites (e.g. Alcast) should yield some builds for you.

ok..MagNB it is!..thanks all!

One last question..is:
Dual Wield and Destro staff
or
Dual Destro staff

the best option in your opinions?...will play with both but guides seem to be back and forth on the subject.

Dual destro staff. Inferno front bar, Lightning back bar. With staff passives you'll want your AoEs on your back bar and your single target skills on your front bar.

Magblade and Magplar can plow through vMA in Willpower + Julianos easily. Stamblade is the only class that really needs an "optimal" gear setup.

This plus mobility. Mobility is a big deal in vMA as it helps with positioning.
