Maelstrom Arena runs on all classes & Beginner Guide
Welcome, the main purpose of this thread is to list Maelstrom runs for any class so people have the chance to see how it is being done. It is not my intention to reach nr. 1 spot but more so to show off how you can successfully clear Maelstrom Arena on each class.
I will update the links to the youtube videos everytime I upload a new run on my youtube to keep it as up to date as possible. You can also find a Playlist of all my runs so far here: Maelstrom Arena Playlist
I usually do Stream the Maelstrom runs live on Twitch: Twitch AlcastHQ and you can find them later on uploaded to my Youtube Channel: Youtube Alcast
Beginner Guides:
I also do have Beginner Guides for Magicka setups with easy to get gear. The runs are done with 300 CP. You can also find a full Introduction to Maelstrom Arena on my website, which I really recommend reading as it gives you the most important tips.
Why no Stamina Setups?
I do really not recommend playing Stamina Setups with suboptimal gear and low CP as a beginner in Maelstrom. The reason is because you get so much incoming damage that you mostly get two or three shot. This does not happen with magicka setups as they have huge shields that protect them. Also Stamina has a lot more sustain issues than Magicka setups, which complicates things even further.
Full Maelstrom Guide:
I do have a guide here, the guide itself is pretty old and I plan on creating a new guide soon, the mechanics itself did not really change but the player Builds did change tremendously over the past few updates.

I added the Magicka Dragonknight Maelstrom Run to the list: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQRbrkjuZOo
Damage felt kinda low prolly because of my weird Gearsetup, still managed to pull off a Flawless Run luckily.
There is always an option for stamina to put on mag gear and do vMA I did a 400k run on my bosmer nightblade with Julianos, aether, no ele drain, first level amulement, all magicka morphs first level, warrior mundus and no destro ult streamed it for guildies to prove a point...
Added a experimental Heavy Armor Stamina Warden run to the list. I really enjoyed this run, was so much fun to play with two hander in maelstrom haha https://youtu.be/0HXNkLGGKIM
Thanks for posting. I watched the whole Stam Warden accidental flawless run. It was entertaining af. Every time forgetting the subterranean Assault LOL! Buffing up every now and then if can remember. The rotation is like a regular button smasher like the rest of us! That was cool man. Really cool. Congrats.
