how well do y'all thank this build would preform this is unbuffed

I worry about the lack of defense on this build really. That physical resistance is pretty low even unbuffed. None of your sets are mitigating damage, and you dont have any percentage mitigation like minor protection or swift / potentate. You have plenty of healing and damage, which is good. I tend to prefer elemental drain over Flames of oblivion because of the additional damage and sustain.

I would say replace the burning spell weave restoration staff with a potentates restoration staff instead. You dont really have to proc BSW on back bar necessarily, and the 5% damage mitigation from players is very worthwhile.

I always forget about potentates
But with 4 well fitted and the high Stan recov I plan on dodge rolling a lot even for a max build why I went tri enchants to get 17.6k Stam

I think defence is very low and your recovery is low considering you're not using ele drain. I would slot ele drain, use maybe swift instead of eternal vigor and I would recommend grothdaar over valkyn, it's amazing pressure and feels a bit more reliable than valkyn, but that's personal preference.

really recov is high for me I run 1100 recov on live
yeah I did think about running grottgar and put temporal guard on back bar

this is the build fully buffed with Continuous Attack but no keep or scroll bonous

this is under 50% HP

this build has the highest dmg and sustain than any other build ive made

With that many flame skills I'm sure recovery isn't that bad. He is a magDK which means he has battle roar and every single flame status effect he procs gives him 500 magicka. I still personally like slotting elemental drain anyway because it reduces your enemy's defenses on top of a bit better sustain, but that's just me.

Your back bar is very similar to mine but I instead use Degeneration for the major sorcery buff instead of structured entropy for the heal. Flames of Oblivion is nice but I honestly prefer cauterize or inner light more. Cauterize for healing and Inner Light for boosting all the damage of the skills on my front bar.

Slight issue there with defense, but you're on NA so it'd be fine.

My two cent, if you're going for burning proc sustain and Valkyn Skoria to carry your damage, I think you should consider something like Grothdarr, Elf Bane, Leeching Charged Inferno and Charged vMA Resto Backbar.
