So who here is going to play a Sun Scion? A Blood Scion using Sun Magic.

Thevampirenight · May 2020

Yep I can see it happening, the Vampire that really loves Sun magic, knows all kinds of Templar Spells, Going into the Big Blood Scion Form and say now fear the Power of the Sunlight! Starts Flinging the Sun magic

Boy let me tell you I can see this happening, A Nock Off Vampire Lord Using Sunmagic to burn at his/her foes.
Its coming with Greymoor it is coming.
Yep some people think Templars shouldn't be able to become Vampires or use sun magic, but the thing about Elder Scrolls is magic is drawn upon from one place. Templar Magic along with Vampire Magic draws upon Aetherius the plain of all magic and that energy comes from the Sun, plus the Stars. So its completely lore friendly nothing wrong with a vampire casting sun magic its after all magic.
If you played Skyrim you would know the most powerful player vampires are actually healers because they can grow more powerful using the necromage perk. So Holy Magic, plus Vampirism, go hand in hand so to speak. Vampire does synergize well with Templar Builds after all in Eso.

So who here is planning to run a Sun Scion Build?

Its not quite a sun magic build but I am playing a flame Scion on the PTS. It feels wrong due to how expensive dragonknight skills can get, but is can be effective if you use something like Sated Fury + Fossilize + Burning Embers + Flame Lash + Bat Scion. If you go stage 2 you can back bar illusive mist and use it to create an opener by coming out of mist with Fossilize and Flame Lash. Sustain is terrible due to the nature of everything magDK's own costing the equivalent of an aircraft carrier, but if you catch someone off guard its quite powerful.

I've also found Eviscerate + Sated Fury + Burning Embers + Cauterize + Magma Shell an excellent combo too, especially when paired with stage 2's passive. Magma Shell feels better imo than the Scion form due to the absence of the 2 second transformation and the fact its a better defensive option. Scion still beats everything terms of damage though with the added 10k magicka and stamina. Overall I wish the ability cost increase was done away with or lessened considerably because its been making it difficult for magDK's to mesh well with the vampire skill line. I'm finding myself using too many dragonknight skills instead of vampire ones if I wanna be effective in duels.

Seems interesting.
My Argonian Warden is going for Whet-Fang
While my Sorc Wood Elf/Bosmer is going more Keerilth (Shademist) Clan

Both built more as Assault Scouts.

Might turn my Templar, but, already hands full with two mains characters atm lol

Already am, vampirisim is already good on magplar, and will only get better next patch.
I had a period when my magplar was non vamp, using RAT for speed and snare removal, but elusive mist just feels better for repositioning.

My main is a MagCro, so it already fits with the whole dark theme of vampirism, compliments it quite well

My main is a vampire magplar so, yeah.............I like the sound of that.........Sun Scion!

Coatmagic · May 2020

Main is a sorc of all trades and having checked PTS that she is still viable as such,

am SO HAPPY that she will still be able to stay at max vamp for the sprint invis

because having to kill every. single. thing. while questing is a huge pain in this ones tail!

(It was awesome to be able to do a delve quest in Skyrim and be able to inivs sprint to the quest markers!

Well, Necromage affecting vampire players was a bug. In fact, you needed to get the perk BEFORE acquiring the buffs you wanted to strengthen, which hints at its buggy nature. The unofficial patch removed it.

Well, Lucifer himself is said to be a fallen angel so it's not that foreign a concept but me, I like to keep it thematically dark with Fire and Blood. Muah-ha-ha!

lol
