What is cheesy about this? Just because a build plays to a class's strengths doesn't mean it's cheesy.
Now most Torug's builds are definitely cheesy: Torug's looks like the next FotM, so much so that even stam classes are trying it out. Using a set nust because it's OP is the kind of cheese you have to ask the attendant to cut for you.
But melee magblades -- one of the most difficult playstyles in the game -- have been using Torug's since One Tamriel or before, simply because it fits that playstyle to a T. And now that melee magblade has finally gotten buffed (through the Torug's/Oblivion butf), it doesn't become cheese just because what we've been running for months suddenly works better than it used to.
In other words: melee magblade used Torug's before it was cool, get off my lawn.7-day PVP campaign regular 2016-2019, Flawless Conqueror. MagDK/stamplar/stamwarden/mageblade. Requiem, Legend, Knights of Daggerfall. Currently retired from the wars; waiting on performance improvements.7 -

If this is the ipso facto build you've been running since you planted that lawn, kudos to you, in a week sadly your lawn is gonna be mowed for you Grandpa. I do agree regarding playing to the class strengths though, hence the gatanky (a combination of gank and tanky) line.
Only thing worse than kids on the lawn and kids whacking off in campers.

✭✭✭✭@Abstraqt it seems like this build is very strong, would you mind answering a few questions I have concerning? I'm particularly concerned with potential easy counters. To be specific, how does one deal with a mag sorc camping mines? Traditional meleebuilds are either stam and can afford to eat the root and damage or less reliant on light attack weaving than your build.
Actually, this applies to all root spam, how do you deal with mDK root pressure with all those DoTs running on you, dueling trap spammers, etc.
I understand it's not the most attractive footage and why you left it out of your highlights, but do you have videos of how you deal with these situations? I've been playing a Melee mageblade a bit for giggles and struggle with these things without having either mist form or forward momentum slotted.Edited by Lexxypwns on August 10, 2017 4:41PM0 -

Sure thing
Vs sorcs I'll just cripple them when they're near the outside of the mines then just run around to start doing damage to them, taking out mines is pretty easy with this build just cripple, fear then run though a couple of them so the sorc can't captivate on it then they're left pretty open to attacks. Vs magdks it's easy, this build is super tanky so if they wanna root me that's fine, I just roll dodge out then just use cripple to remain behind them as much as I can. General truck to dealing with roots is spam cripple and stay behind them. 0 -

In my experience, "stay behind them" isn't a functional defense against root pressure.2 -

Luckily this build is all close quarters, if I get root spammed by a DK it doesn't make too much of a difference to the damage I'll be doing, and I can guarantee I'll out DPS them0 -

✭✭✭✭@Lexxypwns In a 1v1 just root the dk right back
Mageblade, particularly shield stacking ones, lack the ability to sustain defensively going toe to toe with an mDK so root them back isn't going to work either, you will still need to move out of melee range or their heals and pressure will ultimately beat you. They can stay offensive while you will have to stop pressuring to stack shields.
I'm not being critical of OP, I'm just curious how one goes about certain fights with this setup. I would love to use dw melee mageblade, I just haven't found a build that can combat the mobility issues I'm faced with.1 -

I'm working on a video which goes into individual duels Vs all the classes and how I personally go about beating them on my build, does this sound like it could be useful? I don't think ive seen anything similar tbf0 -

If he changes to 2h and slots forward momentum, that should cover it lol.
But like you said, shield stacking for defense is tough when you need to be offensive to counter another class. But the same can be said when trying to run vamp since mist form keeps you from doing anything but moving around like a fart in the wind.Minno - DC - Forum-plar Extraordinaire
