Inspired by this discussion a while back https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/527833/discussion-about-hybrid-builds-in-greymoor-malacath-band-of-brutality-and-stuhns-favor/p1 I came up with my build here: https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Special:EsoBuildData?id=255311
The intent is PVE and heroic dungeons with optional PVP
So far I experience regular magicka starving, which reduces me to 2HD attacks until I can get a Draw Essence, Elemental Drain or heavy staff attack in. Overall dps seems fine, doing my 40-50% of damage in dungeons.
Any suggestions for different gear. enchants, traits are welcome as well as new ideas for skill selection / rotation

✭✭So to me, this build lacks too much damage to be considered useful for groups or soloing dungeons. Not enough crit.
Solo builds are tougher because you need to work buffs into your build like minor berserk, major fracture/breach, etc.
Are you trying to make a solo pve build or a group pve build that can run dungeons and sometimes dip into pvp?0 -
Dimski✭✭✭Group pve, including VET and a pvp once a week if I feel like it.
Crit is an issue, so is sustain. I am certainly holding my own in regular random dungeons, probably because the other players just are as bad as I am.
Having said all that, Has anyone any suggestions how to improve the situation without taking away the 2HD nor the staff? If you really make your point you could convince me to go DW. But not bow. No bows, nor capes.

Stats are similar to mine. From my experience, the spell damage feels OK but the weapon damage feels noticeably weaker than what other people have.0 -

you can disagree all you want, doesnt change the fact that its their game, they bought it, and can play what they want. Now, that said will they be able to run with those elitist groups, most likely huge no, but join a good guild and go nuts...aka have fun!0 -

I am all for trying to get high dps, but your remark that you will get kicked if you can't do a vet in under 5 min is crap.
I have NEVER been kicked from a group and that includes the last week of trying to get my BowCro to decent DPS.
In fact, while doing vet I had people helping me try different rotations to see if it helped, and never had a single player ever complain.

That bolded statement there, my friend, is why I don't recommend a hybrid on anything other than light armor. It's simply a fact you will be starved for magicka otherwise, even in PvE.0 -
Dimski✭✭✭Indeed. That's the problem with hybrids.
You can chase spell and weapon power, but you'll loose sustain, crit or both.
In this build I changed the armor to light and added an MR enchant to one of the rings. It seems that leads to a net gain. I just have to check on the survivabilty.0 -

✭✭I think the game requires too much sprinting, blocking, and roll dodging to wear light armor as a hybrid.2
