A lot more people using steed now... I’d like to think I had an impact on that lol. I’ve vouched for steed on magblades aggressively since the start of 2018

You play in heavy right? Makes sense, I usually go atro in heavy and ritual in light.

I have two Magblades - healer in heavy/damage in light.
For both I always return to Atronach lol.

You should try seducer out. I have one spec with 3x infused mag regen jewellery and 5x light. Even then I run the ritual mundus.
It’s not really a BG spec, and I tried it there and didn’t do too well, but for cyrodiil it’s my secret weapon OP spec. Ah heck, I’ll just post my cyrodiil spec...
When you find something OP it’s always dumb to share, but it’s also a cool fun toy you want to show off too. It’ll be nerfed this coming patch, and last mini patch nerfed it as well but you can make use of it on x-box. Maybe help me tweak it:

Plus yes cleanse, even after the nerf it’s the best heal in game right now. I’m still messing around between orbs, dark cloak or evasion on the front bar. I’m also new to CP pvp and would appreciate help with my CPs.

this is 100% ideal buffed up but figures why not show its full potential, pen does seem a little low without a breech skill slotted, i may drop cripple for it, i would hate to drop degen and lose the hp and stam recovery buff from tri pots

You forgot the mundus i think. You'd also want your CPs to top off to be as close to whole numbers as possible. ESO rounds decimals down (in CPs) so 18.89% is the same as 18%.
I'd put more into Bastion too. 6204 is too small for a Dampen Magicka. At that tool tip, id rather use Healing Ward and only cast it when low in health to have a damage shield of around 8k that also ticks HoTs.

You dont have to cast the ward before cloaking when fighting dots. Just RAT or roll once to get away from the ground aoes, then cloak. Cloak will supress all DOT damage.

Oh I'm talking from a cyro perspective, I play cp campaign on PC na. Groups there all slot degen, splitting soul trap, and what ever other single target dot they have. It's the way they deal with people trying to run they just dot the hell out of you. I don't see too many ground aoes outside of the mornings when I can actually keep fight without lagging

Yeah I cyro all the time in CP PC NA too. But since i play solo, I usually avoid organized small groups. Plenty of other fights to be had, I'd rather not fight a coordinated one who're riding the dot meta or whatever the current toxic fab is.
My statement still stands though... If all they're doing is spamming single target dots, cloaking will supress all of those.

@brandonv516
That build is.... interesting.
What's the purpose of spell erosion and staff expert on that build given that you are running zero damaging skills? Also do yo have any source of healing reduction to warrant putting 19 into befoul? imo it'd be better to put it into shadow ward.
I'm also having a hard time justifying putting a hundred into Elfborn and Blessed because of the diminishing returns but since every single skill you have is either healing or utility I guess you don't have anywhere else to put it.
Also, do you really need 4000 magicka recovery?

It’s for larger groups. 4k with that much reduction let’s me hit cleanse 8x in a row if I want to.
In places like keeps running through oil and whatnot the debuffs can pile up. The heavy attack on Symbiosis isn’t ideal because it only returns magicka if it heals someone so it’s inconsistent. It’s best use is light attack weaving.
If I was running with 6 or under 12 I could scale back on regen, but when groups clash purging is crazy important. The spec’s actually pretty OP which is why it’s been nerfed on PTS, for BGs it’s not ideal because it lacks self healing and people spam dizzy. It’d likely be good in small scale with cross healing.
Yea, my CPs are jacked. I’ll look into your suggestions.
Don't worry. If there's one thing I've learnt from sharing my build, it's that no one pays any attention. The number of people who might copy your build is strictly proportional to your YouTube followers only . Certainly looks interesting, though.When you find something OP it’s always dumb to share, but it’s also a cool fun toy you want to show off too.
