This is not your typical tank and gank or tank and bomb combo. We are both in high DPS brawler style builds just diving head first into out numbered fights! Was pretty much my first ever duo, had a massive amount of fun!

Featuring @havingacow on MagBlade.

Snuck a few solo clips in there also.

All clips No-CP!

    Wearing Rattlecage to absolutely maximise the amount of DoT's I can throw on people.

    So you’re trading a 5p set for a dot? Interesting.

    If you can fit it, cauterize on front bar might be a bit better to get major crit on front bar.

    Yh I swap it around with fossilize on my back bar but while crit whips and leaps are huge I really like my crit dragonblood heals, I get constant 10k db heals which I really like.

    Cauterize is very underrated, wish it was an actual hot instead of the pseudoburst, but it does well to top me off and save mag.

    @Subversus
    I should do some test to find out exactly how much I gain or lose by doing that. Julianos would give me extra crit and extra magicka, but will that increase the damage of all my skills enough to completely replace the damage of a DoT? When I get some motivation I'll test it out, but for now I'm too lazy and this setup works well, haha.

    @LeifErickson
    I love it. I slotted Coag again last week to test it out for a few hours and I don't miss it. Of course there are times when I would live with Coag slotted, and it does make repositioning easier, but if I can be real disciplined with Burning Embers before every Mist Form then the only situation where it would be be super useful is vs siege, which doesn't happen too often.

    BSW should outperform rattlecage and it adds a unique burning DoT. I think those two factors combined should make it superior

    That is all perfectly true, but what skill do I drop? I don't think I can properly express how attached I am to my skill setup on this build, they are just all so good.

    Your replies are making me consider going 5xBSW 5xRattlecage 2xSkoria and just dropping Wizard's Riposte completely.

    Are you certain it was burning from BSW and not the normal burning status effect?

    Tell me your build, im curious. There wasnt much i could take from the vid

    I run two 5 piece sets:
    Shacklebreaker + Wizard’s Riposte
    Running Wizard’s Riposte in a duo while the other member is also running Wizard’s Riposte was kinda useless, but it’s just what I usually run.

    I run Master’s Infero and Maelstrom Resto backbar. Next patch, I’m going to switch to Willpower Resto, for extra max magicka.

    Front: Piercing Mark, Funnel Health, Merciless Resolve, Flame Reach, Impale. Incap or Meteor for ult, dependin what I’m doing

    Back: Harness Magicka, Mirage, Degeneration, Healing Ward, Cloak. Resto Ult (the one that gives major force and protection).

    Last time I posted a magblade pvp build I got hated on.

    I know I got maelstrom resto without mutagen, but oh well.

    We are obviously super professional PvP'ers.


    @Thogard
    My constant gaurdblade'ing of you in BG's definitely counts as a proper duo! Should've specified in OP I meant Cyrodiil.
