And just go Vamp...cant lose!!!

After so much trial and error with magicka builds on a stamina race - which I thought I needed to compensate for - I've come to find that what's most important is that your build fits your playstyle. Do you know your playstyle? Maybe you just want a build to use to jump in and keep playing, which is fine, too. But, magblade is so niche right now, playing one is a struggle in and of itself, and if you aren't playing how you want, but how you think you should you can drive yourself up a wall. Most builds I find online fit the playstyle of whomever created the build, so make sure you know iow you want to play, and that the build jives with you.

You could build your own? Search old forum posts, and see how people use certain skills to get a feel for how they're useful tactically, then you can build something yourself. Or, you can look at the strengths of various builds and see how you can combine them to fit your play style.

As for builds, one of the most interesting builds that I've seen in a long time was this 'Immortal Melee Magblade', which was created with the recent damage shield changes in mind.

I haven't tried this yet, but it looks fun. I don't like that he uses dark cloak instead of shadowy disguise, but, you know.

I'm planning to add some stuff from the build video above into my current build, as the resistances aren't high enough, but currently I run:

• 5 shacklebreaker with tri-glyphs/impen
• lich jewelry transmuted to tri-glyphs
• greatsword of willpower / dylora's staff (resto lich staff); poisons on both for skoria
• skoria with impen and tri-glyphs

Lich was overkill once I learned how to sustain with resto heavy attacks.
