Heya, I've made some first-grade meme build material. Looks like heavy attack builds are strong as never before in this patch!

    undaunted infiltrator + maelstrom lightning staff + what? (vicious death?)
    noticed the 37k hp and wondered if the clanfear would be better but then i saw the high spell power
    nice with curse + inevitable detonation, some real juicy explosions
    dark conversion to pop the undaunted set, mines to keep them in your lightning field, magelight for the empower

    really solid, nice video

    Thanks :)
    dark conversion to pop the undaunted set

    Infiltrator triggers off any magica spells, so basically from everything on front bar.

    Yeah, it's vicious death. That's why memes o:)
    Same shell and other set would make it even stronger, but not as explosive, haha.

    Trick in this build is going 0 sustain, not even mundus, but still faring good because dark deal and heavys. So ye, it allows to stack spell damage up high for procs and delayed damage skills, which combos nicely with heavy attacks.

    Oh you are using the medium stamina set that procs off magicka abilities, not the light magicka set that procs off stamina abilities?

    I've done a build like this on the mag dk but that was before proc scaling so I used alessian instead of vicious death and stacked health recovery instead of spell damage. I'll have to try out your setup! (Btw did matriarch or clanfear have bigger tooltip? I feel like matriarch damage makes it the better choice due to spell power if the heals are close)

    @gariondavey Haha, well, I rolled that one too!

    It's nuked with blackwood patch tho, so I jumped to try something new.

    Matriarch and clanfear numbers are approx the same. Difference is 2 targets per heal.

    I agree with @gariondavey on this, in that unweaver would probably be better. With infiltrator you are missing out on over 200 effective spell damage from it (2*1096 max mag, 10.5 max mag = 1 effective spell damage), and a decent amount of crit chance. Also with unweaver on body, you are free to use any gold VD you may have from MYM or something.

    To proc the unweaver, you could use something like conversion or maybe hurricane.

    That being said, this looks kindof interesting, I may give it a shot since I have all the gear already.

    @M0R_Gaming my experience is fights last longer than 10s in heavy attack, pretty much every time. There is no stamina spammable that wouldn't feel like a waste of time (maybe Bone Shield but even that is worse than matriarch heal) and bar space, you can't rely on Dark Deal because it's interruptible. Set that procs from magica is much more reliable.

    Besides, 2k stam isn't bad investment either. You dark deal a lot between fights, high stam keeps you alive in case you need to break and roll.

    True and valid points. I'm personally going to be running unweaver instead with my variation of this build, primarily because I can use hurricane as a utility proc, but I can understand the logic behind wanting a more reliable set proc.
