Any tips for a magblade that only plays PvE content? Your skills, gear, rotations, buffs, food/potions, etc. Anything you don't mind sharing with me. I've done a fair amount of research, but I thought I would ask here. It's always good to see personal opinions.

Thanks!

@Snipress
Magicka Nightblade
(ordered best to worst)

Monster (1 heavy 1 medium):
-Zaan
-Valkyn

Gear:
-Siroria
-Mothers Sorrow
-Burning Spellweave
-Master Architect
-Scathing Mage
-Julianos

Traits:
-Head/Chest/Legs - Infused
-Hands/Feet/Belt/Shoulders - Divines
-Jewellery - 1x Bloodthirsty 2x Arcane (3x Arcane is fine)
-Staves (Both fire) - Infused

Enchants:
-Body - All Magicka
-Jewellery - All Spell Damage (Can run 1x magicka recovery)
-Staves - Shock/Fire (either way, I run fire back bar)

Mundus:
-Thief (If CP500+)
-Apprentice

Bar setup:
DPS:
Impale | Ele Weapon/Force Pulse | Crippling Grasp | Merciless Resolve | Inner Light || Destro Ult
Blockade | Path | Shield | Siphoning | (Trap/Acceleration/Inner Light) || Soul Harvest

Survivability:
Impale | Funnel | Shield | Merciless | Inner || Destro
Blockade | Path | Cripple | Siphoning | (Trap/Accel/Inner) || Soul Harvest

Food:
-Max Magicka/Health (Blue Food). I find I need to run 1x regen on this, but health and damage is better.
-Witchmothers Potent. May want to put 4 points into health on this, or run Valkyn.

Rotation:
Rotation is hard to grasp, use Novaris' 2 and 3 bow proc rotations to get a grasp:

Most important thing is learning to weave properly since it's both a big source or sustain and a big source of dps.
