    There is no BEST setup. Depending on each trial you have to adjust gear, skills, CP etc.
    Popular Setups are:
    MS+BSW
    MS+Siroria
    MS+MA
    Siroria+BSW

    MS= Mother Sorrow
    MA= Master Architect
    Siroria= Perfect Mantle of Siroria
    BSW= Burning Spellweave

    I also do have a magblade build on my website if you are interested in a full setup.

    And last, I also made a video a while ago about what I did run in Asylum Sanctorium

    Good point about enchants. This would definitely have more impact on a fight like Rakkhat, where Prismatic weapons are a significant percent of DPS. It will probably be more impactful next patch as well, since it’s looking like multiple damage proc enchants could beat out berserker on some builds.

    There are only direct damage enchantments or am I missing something?

    Enchantment damage scales with the CP that affected the source procing the enchant. So when endless hail procs enchantments its affected by Thaumaturge and when light attack procs enchantments its buffed by Master at Arms.... unless I did something wrong in my testing (reported it as bug last year and any small test every patch seems to still confirm its working like that)

    A lot to take in again. Thankyou so much guys.

    I appreciate that a dynamic rotation is more about learning timings and keeping on top of when things expire, so thats something i can learn as i go.

    In terms of skills what would be the most valuable skills that would generally cover all content (again i appreciate that some swaps will be required dependent on content), as a general rule to get the most out of the build and passives?

    Again thankyou for all your advice.

    I think what’s cool is without dynamic rotation you can still do decent dps. I am new to magblade and I just got my vma staff. I run skoria, bsw, and night mothers with vma fire staff. I tested doing fairly static rotation (except shooting bow as much as possible) and was able to do decent enough damage- 35k

    What’s cool to me is that this is the beginning for me. There’s a lot of room for growth and development. I know a lot of people here will laugh at my 35k but to me it can only go up, as I get more used to the dynamics and rotation. I think that’s a good thing.

    There's still a BEST set up, it just depends on the trial/fight.

    I'm just arguing semantics though :)

    Agreed...OP asked in regards to the Nuke. For the nuke the magblades should be wearing architect/MS/Zaan

    Nobody will laugh at 35k dps unless you're cheesing :-)

    Outside of vCR +3 and vAS +2 it's enough dps.

    If you are a new player their is no reason not to run mother's sorrow and julianos. Mother's sorrow is easy to get and blue jewelry is cheap.
