I posted my Build last week. Not claiming that its the best build out there, but I've been enjoying it a lot. 2H is just too much fun and somehow I find it much easier to weave LA with 2H than clunky LA from staves.

Shacklebreaker is a good set to take care of your stamina sustain. It's really stat dense, so gives a bit of everything but not a lot of one thing. Seducer's is good to take care of magicka sustain but I usually only run it if I'm healing because healing abilities are really expensive, Crafty is more if you're trying to max your magicka so for NBs, Wardens or Sorcs. Shacklebreaker gives you some mag (not a lot) and some stamina (not a lot) sustain and lets you skimp on prismatic glyphs. The stamina is good for if you block, dodge roll or to break free.
If you're new to pvp in general is I'd say make sure you're always moving (some people stand still which makes them easy to target), heal yourself (if one person is healing themselves and the other isn't, the person who's healing themselves will always win) and practice targeting. As a magtemplar I circle strafe all the time (circle my target always looking in so I'm continuing to hit them and them not hit me) and as a magwarden I love to run back and forth through people waiting for my stun to land. Get the targeting, healing and moving down and you'll immediately be above average imo.

Thanks. As a beginner, shall I go 7/0/0 or 5/1/1?

It just seems so much less fluid.
I guess it's my fault for playing open world CP.
I am still using NMA, but now carry a heavy set too, and use it depending on conditions.
I am Altmer and I switched to Alteration Mastery instead of Transmustation--I love it, I rarely run out of magic, unless it is so laggy that I can't light or heavy attack. I use potatoes back bar. Right now I use Grothdar more, but I also like Balorghs when I am dropping Nova, and using sweeps to clean up. And I still carry multiple other sets for the situation/group I am in.

5/1/1 or 5/2 is your best bet, personal preference

I noticed this tonight. It's hard to hit combos now. I hit someone with a topling charge and then stood over them for a good second before I could get the Crescent Sweep out. That gave the opponents plenty of time to open fire on me. So instead of hitting and then getting back on defense, I was a sitting duck.

So I have my gear together (NMA + Swift) and I started to learn what to do. Two questions:
1. People often refer to a burst, like "preparing for a burst", or "timing their burst". What exactly that means on magplar. I mean what combination of skills.
ATM I am just jabs spammer, with toppling and dots in between while dancing around the enemy. Does work on nubs like me, or low health targets if I manage to topple them, but the good players just heal off and shrug me away.
I also tried to flare - toppling - ulti and sweeps but the flare is so very much telegraphed so it is hard to land on an aware opponent and I do not use it now at all.
2. I use powered willpower heal staff on back bar, but I do not have the Psijic skills yet. Does it significantly reduce my ability to defend? Any tips what is best to slot on altmer? I use regen from staff line, purify, living dark, class shield and rune.
If you like resto staff, and want to keep rapid regen or whatever the HOT is called; thats fine. The other option is sword and board or Ice staff for block casting HTD. I personally use ice staff because I front bar 2 hander but I am considering changing given how block screws with things right now, but who knows what it will look like when they fix their game.

I am not fixed on resto staves, and i fact I levelled the S+B line a little. What skills are used aside from the ultimate?
Also what does HTD stand for?

1. For burst you want Purifying Light. You can keep that refreshed but generally you want to get health down a little bit before doing purifying light, toppling to get the off balance, ultimate, then sweep away. Obviously keep your buffs up and whatever DOTs you are using before that.
2. If you don't have psijiic, go vamp and run elusive mist. If you like resto staff, and want to keep rapid regen or whatever the HOT is called; thats fine.

This is really good advice. I used dark flare a lot just because it’s something you can do from range. In BGs there’ll be a lot of games where you’re fighting a sorc heavy group and people are vying for position waiting to pounce. Instead of standing there I would throw dark flares, or if people aren’t focusing on you it’s great in a combo.
Anyone notice as soon as you toppling you’ll immediately get stunned? So annoying in BGs.
Anyways, I added that ability that heals you when you take damage now on my front bar. It adds more staying power when you’re pushing.
Overall I don’t find my magplar as fun these days. You’re prone to sorc burst and losing the snare on ritual killed my hit and run playstyle. I need to change up the spec but am not sure how.

Im not sure what happened with sorc to where it came on recently for damage. I know they reduced the streak cost penalty to match dodge and thats annoying AF; but yeah. If you can't force a sorc into a tight melee range fight (which then means you are going to get streaked on CC immunity cooldown) and be able to pressure them; its over without some kind of range defense. You can purge a lot of their burst and heal off the stuff, but you arent doing anything while doing that.
And as far as getting stunned in toppling; probably should use your immovability pot then or at least be in melee range and use it as CC more than a gap closer so less time for them to react.
