Hello everyone,

So I'm trying to make a magicka necromancer vampire DPS build. Mostly for the sake of RolePlay, because I like to play this kind of character, but I still try to do something strong, for solo PVE and solo PVP.

So, you see, I'm trying to make a build good in solo PVE AND solo PVP. I guess it can't be perfect, but I think it doesn't have too... I'm really trying to find something solid to do both.

For now, I tried to follow this guide from Alcast : https://alcasthq.com/eso-magicka-necromancer-build-pvp/

(It seems it changed a bit from the last time I saw it, well...)







So for now, my set is full Necropotence (Light Armor) except for head and shoulders (which are Mighty Chudan, even if I only have the shoulders for now), my weapons and jewelry are mother's sorrow. I play with lightning destruction staff.

I mostly play with Necromancer's abilities, because I think they are more fun to use. So I have in my first bar : Ricochet Skull, Stalking Blastbones, Skeletal Arcanist, Mystic Siphon, Vampire Drain and Glacial Colossus for the Ultimate.

In my second bar, I have: Unnerving Boneyard, Summoner's Armor, Agony Totem, Resistant Flesh, Intensive Mender and Ravenous Goliath.

But, with the vampire skill line, I'm a bit lost. Most of the new vampire abilities seems made for close combat, which is...not really how I fight with my lightning staff and Nrecomancy abilities.

For now, I replaced, in my first bar: Ricochet Skull (Necromancer spammable) by Blood for Blood (vampire spammable), Mystic Siphon by Blood Mist (So I can go close, deal damages and gain regen, then do Blood for Blood to deal a lot of damages, particularly with one of the vampire passive, and then I spam my necro invocation, and Blood Mist again, etc...), Vampire Drain by Exhilarating Drain (with this and blood mist, I don't need so many heal anymore), and Glacial Colossus by Swarming Scion for the Ultimate.



For the second bar, I tried to use lighting staff skills to deal damages because my damages are, in general, horribly low, but I think it's hard to make it all work (first and second bar) together. anyway :




The problem is that most of Necro playstyle is ranged, especially with my lightning staff, and most of Vampire playstyle is close combat, especially with the spammable, mist form, and ultimate. For now, I'm trying to switch between ranged with necro abilities then close combat with vampire abilities.

But, to be honest, I don't know how to get my build viable in PVE and PVP (even in Trial or dungeon) while using both vampire and necromancer abilities. I don't know what to do with my build.


That's why I'm here: does anybody would agree to help me, please? To be honest, I'm not an expert in this stuff, but I want to play as I love, and still being viable in Veteran dungeon, or PVP.

Please, can somebody help me? It would be so cool haha-
