The Potato Build! Can't fail with this one
(sorry for the quality)
This is a full Flawless Run 565k score.The score is not that impressive but that wasn't suppose to be, the idea was to make things easy enough to watch a movie or play with your cat while you farm this place of hell.
Regards final boss in round 6 and and the whole final stage I blame only me to make it that messy, but that's what this is all about. complete it being a potato!

4xMoondancer (Front Bar)
Maelstrom Lightning Staff (Backbar)
^I just don't have this :P
Bars Setup:
Front bar: hardened ward, familiar, c frags, bound aegis, inner light, meteor
Back bar: ele blockade, familiar, liquid lightning, bound aegis, power surge, elemental rage
Back bar: ele blockade, familiar, liquid lightning, bound aegis, power surge, elemental rage
In my opinion this is the easiest build that you can use in vma, no spammable ability just heavy attack so also no resources issues, massive shields with 55k magicka and crit surge for the best heals that you can have in this arena. The clanfear also will take some aggro to make things easier and paired with infernal guardian some mobs you don't need to target or even turn around, they will just die with these two things combined.
Disclaimer this is not a build that will compete at the top of the leaderboard but it still can give good numbers, this run in particular is 565k score with no sigils and flawless, it wasn't as smooth as it should on some rounds, had some technical issues bar swapping and hard casting crystal frags due to that or at the end my pet just dissapeared and i lost the buff as also an important dot. Usually you won't see crematorial guards on last fight and the three sigils should be easy to just destroy them in one shot not like me :P (I take full responsability for that, that never happens but I'm not recording again
)Enjoy!

Hey "Buddy", so if I use heavy attack in VMA i'm copying you? Sorry I didn't read the copyrights in the new tos.
Also I see that you use twilight and curse and another setup Infallible Aether, and kena I use infernal guardian on top of necropotence with 4 IA. Maybe the similarity is that I use a sorc, probably I should stop.
Btw check the difference in dmg between vids, probably dropping the twilight will help you and no need for using sigils
I'll tell my buddies not to use pets on their vids without thanking you for the contribution.
Thanks for the great support and creating the most amazing and unique build ever seen, keep up the good work.10 -

Hey!artificial_blue wrote: »Hey Glass,
Can you list your skill bar setup?
Thanks.
I use dual lightning staff
Front bar: hardened ward, familiar, c frags, bound aegis, inner light, meteor
Back bar: ele blockade, familiar, liquid lightning, bound aegis, power surge, elemental rage
be sure to have 75 points in thaumaturge for the bonus on off balanced enemies and cast the familiar in your front bar to have more chances of procking c frags (which i don't do much) 0 -
Thanks! I've seen several Pet builds on the forums and I plan on trying them all out to see which one works best for me. Yours looks pretty cool.
Some people slot Inner Light on both bars. Does it need to be on both bars to get the buffs (magicka and spell crit) when you toggle or does 1 bar work?
Most of the other pet builds rock an Inferno staff on the back bar. Are there advantages/disadvantages to having that on the back bar instead of the lightning staff? I need to look into that. I'm sure it depends on what skills you put on the back bar. Appreciate the help.0 -

You need inner light on both bars to get the crit bonus on both bars ... if you're using spell power potions - you get your prophecy buff from those, so no use slotting it on both, but you slot it on front bar for enhanced magicka / recovery, and buffed ultis. Or if you use skills on your back bar that you don't care about applying the crit buff to- again, you can do without it.
But yea - inner light passive buffs only apply to the skills on the bar to which it is slotted.PS4 [NA]

i would slot inner light on backbar too for sure if i had the slot available but unfortunately there isn't. You lose magicka on backbar that way but you still get the spell crit from spell power pots even when you swap (glad they fixed that)
using a lightning staff on backbar gives you 8% more dmg on aoe skills thanks to the ancient knowledge passive having ele blockade there also sets enemies off balance and with the exploiter passive from champion points you get 10% additional dmg. And last thing is that is lightning, so it will have a chance to proc implosion and paired with liquid lightning and the heavy attack the chances are pretty high.
Only advantages that i see to use and inferno staff is being a dunmer and having 7% bonus dmg on flame attacks and apply a small dot as it the burning effect.0 -
Synroth✭I believe most use the Inferno staff on the backbar to proc the ilmabris set's fire damage more frequently with Elemental Blockade.Edited by Synroth on March 22, 2017 7:08PMXboxOne - NA - Gamertag: IlI SYNN IlI

Glass✭✭✭I believe most use the Inferno staff on the backbar to proc the ilmabris set's fire damage more frequently with Elemental Blockade.
yea that too, tho I'm not using ilambris in this case but I would suggest for a set like that grothdarr will do. I use infernal guardian because paired with having the shield on front bar it procs very very often and it gives you more burst that any of those, also it gives you some range to help the heavy attacks1 -

I'm really hoping to attempt the Infernal Guardian set.. but my RGN luck is horrible and I still haven't been able to get myself the shoulders.
With using Ilambis I switch out Shards for Force Pulse too.. just for the additional chance to proc the fire damage.
I'm just recently getting on the VMA farming train so I'm hoping I can get those shoulders soon to attempt this build out, see which I prefer. RGN still hates me though, just getting charged staves...

You can always use willpower replacing the jewelry and random staves as long as they are sharpened. In fact I'm curious on how much magicka you get with willpower, is not gonna be a huge difference but I just want to know how high can you get

This seems a good build.

Hey!, I listed before in a comment i'll make sure to put it in the description.
Front bar: hardened ward, familiar, c frags, bound aegis, inner light, meteor
Back bar: ele blockade, familiar, liquid lightning, bound aegis, power surge, elemental rage
I think the exploit passive is huge however not every mob gets off balance but yes a big a percentage. Like I said in another comment:using a lightning staff on backbar gives you 8% more dmg on aoe skills thanks to the ancient knowledge passive having ele blockade there also sets enemies off balance and with the exploiter passive from champion points you get 10% additional dmg.
