On my magsorc, I did a pet build. 5 Infallible Aether (jewels and front bar infused lightning staff /w shock enchant), 5 Necropotence, 2 Slimecraw, and vMA infused lightning backbar with absorb magicka enchant OR fire staff with prismatic enchant (for daedra and I only have 1 lightning staff). As much magicka as I could get with traits, enchants, and used either the Mage or Lover stone, can’t quite remember.

Front bar: Daedric Prey, Power Surge, Inner Light/Bound Aegis, Hardened Ward, Familiar, Thunderous Rage
Backbar: Lightning Blockade, Liquid Lightning, Inner Light/Bound Aegis, Hardened Ward, Familiar, Storm Atro or Meteor

I double barred Ward for extra safety.

I wore Spinners, Dreamers, Illambris on a Dual Wield Argonian magplar back when CP cap was 660.

I think my bars were something like
Destro: BoL, Purifying Light, Blockade, Vamp Bane, Ritual, Destro Ult
DW: Shield, Sweeps, Radiant, Rune Focus, Flex (Toppling Charge/Inner Light, etc..), Nova

For stam sorc I run VO/NMG/Slimecraw with blue food. I like NMG over TFS for stam sorc and stamplar, it gives more penetration since they don't have major fracture and allows me to run VO on both bars for better sustain. Slimecraw does lack burst but it never misses like Velidreth, and certainly Stormfist, and has good raw damage.

Bar setup is same as yours except I drop steel tornado for rending slashes because I think between Hurricane and Shrouded Daggers I have plenty of AoE.

Hi.

Just got my first Flawless and now adays with these champion points, the damage we are dealing and sets it felt pretty easy. I got it on stamsorc and it felt like I could only die on the mechanics.

Well now that I got the first I would like to get in on the other toons as well, but was just thinking what is or was your flawless setup for different classes. I think sometimes out of the box thinking helps on this one too. Here is mine for an example (this is not out of the box obviously).

Redguard Stamina Sorcerer
5x Twice fanged and 3x vo jewelry, 2x vo weapons. Maelstrom infused bow. Stormfist heavy helm and medium shoulder. Had the poison enchantment on backbar and disease & weapon damage on front bar. All of the jewelry were weapon damage also.
My stats were about 18 health and 37k stamina. I think that the stamina recovery was about 800, but I was using the max health max stam food and running kinda of heavy attack build. I only used some light attacks during the bosses.

Bar setup:

1. Bound armaments, hurricane, shrouded daggers, steel tornado, vigor
2. Surge, trap beast, endless hail, razor caldrops, poison injection

I was using the lover mundus and will post my cp's when I'm back home.

What do you think about Nightmothers on a stam sorc instead of TFS, Slimecraw and VO?

Stamsorc. Briarheart, VO' stormfist

Similar bars but rending instead of patato tornado.

My setup is to enter the arena, think "oh goodness, what am I doing here" and then leave immediately to peruse the traders for good deals to flip.

Prozac

Mag Sorc (works w/pet and non-pet): Slimcraw, 5 Mechanical Acuity, 3 Willpower or Moondancer. Asylum Inferno Staff front bar(1 w/Fire and a Prismatic enchant), Back bar vMA Lightening Staff w/Shock enchant.

Stam Sorc: Slimcraw, 5 VO, 5 Night Mothers Gaze. Daggers with Absorb Stamina, Poison and a spare with Prismatic enchant, vMA Bow with weapon damage enchant.

MagWarden (no Bear): 5 Necropotence, 5 Mechanical Acuity, Asylum Inferno Staff front bar(1 w/Fire and a Prismatic enchant), Back bar vMA Inferno Staff w/Shock enchant.

Magblade: Grothdarr, 5 Mechanical Acuity, 3 Willpower or Moondancer. Asylum Inferno Staff front bar(1 w/Fire and a Prismatic enchant), Back bar vMA Inferno Staff w/Shock enchant.

MagDK: Slimcraw, 5 Mechanical Acuity, 3 Willpower. Asylum Inferno Staff front bar(1 w/Fire and a Prismatic enchant), Back bar vMA Inferno Staff w/Shock enchant.

StamWarden (no Bear): Velidreth, 5 VO, 5 Briar Heart. Daggers with Absorb Stamina, Poison and a spare with Prismatic enchant, vMA Bow with weapon damage enchant.

Magplar: Slimcraw, 5 Mechanical Acuity, 3 Willpower or Moondancer. Asylum Inferno Staff front bar(1 w/Fire and a Prismatic enchant), Back bar vMA Inferno Staff w/Shock enchant.

Stamplar: Slimcraw, 5 VO, 5 Briar Heart. Daggers with Absorb Stamina, Poison and a spare with Prismatic enchant, vMA Bow with weapon damage enchant.


Food buffs used Clockwork citrus filet(Mag), for Stam its Dubious or Blue food depending on the class. All setups used Lover Mundus except Magden which uses Mage Mundus.

Stats? I don't know it off the top of my head but Mag resources is around 40k(Warden and Sorc has more resources). Stam resources are around 33k-35k(StamSorc had a larger pool). Health is around 15k-16.5k, my warden normally have the lowest health at about 15k. But with the Minor Toughness buff my health stays around 17k during combat. All my Mag characters were High Elf except for my Magplar which is a Breton & MagDk Dark Elf. My Stam characters are Wood Elf except for my StamSorc which is a Redguard.

Bar setup & CP? again I don't know each of them off the top of my head. But I do know that there's no point in running a shield on Magplar, it's too expensive and can hurt sustain plus there's no bar spots available for it. Same can be said for Magblade & Sorc but i feel they can fit shields on their bars easier, with that said those 3 classes can run through vMA with no shield easily.


Those are my setups on XB1, On PC I'm currently only able to run 1 setup (Slimcraw, 5 Mechanical Acuity, 3 Willpower. Non perfected Asylum Inferno Staff front bar(w/Fire enchant), Back bar vMA Inferno/Shock Staff w/Shock enchant.) because I ported over and need to re-farm gear.

On my magplar (but would work for any other mag classes)

Mothers sorrow
Burning spellweave
Iceheart

Hi, I've never even beat vet maelstrom, it's been a long time since I tried it, by now I'm a cp 720 Stam DK, How would 5 hunding, 5 vicous serpent, 2 (either troll king or veldereth) do?

That's a good setup. Now just do it and learn the mechanics.

I have to build a little different on Oceanic ping.
I have all stam classes flawless and use the following basic template:

chudan monster (gets resists to >20k on most all classes- (except stam sorc use slimeclaw)
VO jewelry and daggers, infused jewelry, either 2 or 3 wp damage (except stam, sorc use dark deal -all damage)
(usually I have 2 damage 1 recovery-gives stam recovery 1.6k ish with dubious)
Hundings (did use auto on stamplar but didn]t notice any benefit over Hundings)
vma infused bow
dubious
all medium or 6 medium 1 heavy

This isnt for score runs, I have to build for double casting, lag (adds swirl around me and I cant hit them), getting hit by aoe or the red when not in it on my screen. In short Chudan gives me lee-way for the arena and the extra recovery helps for double casting skills that dont fire but miraculously use resources.

Chudan is what I call out of the box thinking. Its something Ive also been thinking to use on some classes or TrollKing for extra recovery on below 50%.

Mag Warden: 5x Necropotence, 5x Julianos, 1 Kena, all impregnable because I play pvp most of the time and I am toooo lazy farming pve gear. Fire Destro and Resto Staff. I love my non-bis Setup. Don't believe the Hype 😀

Did normal last week for the first time as stamblade (was just under CP400) running 5x Hundings, 5x Spriggans, Kragh helmet and Molag Kena shoulder. (Hundings daggers and bow).
I went in blank, had seen no videos of it.
Found the round with the poison plants the hardest, harder then the last boss actually (only died there because I had no idea what to do on the top level, I was just shooting at him...yeah that doesn't work :-) ).
Would love to do it on vet some day, is it really that much harder then normal or does it just take longer to kill? Differences in mechanics?
Nice job on Flawless.
