Magcro sets?

rymere83 · May 2023

I know Magcro isnt in a great place. Thats not what im wanting to discuss. Necro is my fav class and I want to try to rebuild my necro to be a little viable in battlegrounds.

What sets are recommended for Magcro pvp?

I still use spinner on my magecro 😂.
But I think Ritualist can boost your squeleton damage by 16%, I don't want to farm dongeon set, but you should try it on

I know it's technically not a "magcro" build specifically, but you could probably go for a "cro-sorc" build.

Masters DW front, Vate destro back, desired 5 piece on body (deadly or draugrkin), maarselok monster set, fill rest as you see fit (mythic, trainee, etc).

front bar would be
blast bones, rending slashes, degen (mages guild major sorcery skill), spirit guardian and fighters guild fear, dawn breaker.
poison glyph or double DoT poisons

back bar would be
ele sus, vigor, resistant flesh, armor buff, mist form, undo.
weapon damage glyph

For a more magcro focused version of this build you could swap masters DW for vate destro on the front bar with your choice of back bar set-up, switch degen and ele sus with each other and replace rending slashes with crushing shock. Lean into the DoT playstyle with cro is probably going to be the best option at the moment, get the most out of masters DW, vate destro, status DoTs, etc.

Not a bad way to build it, matching what a lot of mag DKs and magdens are doing, templars too. Short of strapping a dk to themselves it’s probably the way to go. I did run into some necros in BGs last night putting in work with colossus so it’s still a viable option.

I see so many people wearing thoses ***** meta set, on every class, this is boring. Those sets are so op, it kill diversity

For sure. While there's probably a better more cro specific build that cro mains will know about (or create), the generic masters DW + mara's balm (and/or deadly or draugrkin) either with or without vate destro DoT build is going to be at least good on all classes (It's hard carrying sorc at the moment for sure) and the mag version with double destro or destro + choice of back bar should perform reasonably well too.
Cro should also have an inherent advantage next patch with the build too since they have a built in purge in their kit to allow better survivability against this build that's going to be (is already) very common.

Sure DK and warden will likely pull it off better, but at least it will still work on the other classes. Shame there isn't many other generic options currently, but that's up to ZOS to fix, nothing we can do until that happens.

Here's my advice for you: choose any other mag class, because magcro in pvp is the weakest and most useless with no damage, control, escape, Even stamcro better than this...

I was thinking of a DoT heavy build, maybe deadly and oblivion's foe. Hardly inspirational lol
