I have a PvE magicka warden healer who is a werewolf, and I chose gear that procs off of healing, overhealing, and taking damage that heal my party members, so that when she's an elf she can really bring the heals, and then if she needs to do damage she can turn into a werewolf and attack, but she's still healing her party members even if it's not as much as it was before.

Tbh I'm afraid to because if anything is fun and becomes popular, it will get the nerf hammer.

Honestly the nice thing about sharing non-meta stuff is that they're fun but not powerful enough to get the nerf bat usually.

I have my main Breton in an AoE build with Storm Calling, Winter's Embrace, and Dawn's Wrath. Lots of skills going off around me and on the ground. I call it my Weather Mage. I have to tinker with him a bit gear wise, but currently I have Order's Wrath, MS, and Sellistrix but thinking about putting him in something else other than MS that also has an AoE effect. Just for kicks.

Aegis Caller has a huge AOE but doesn't follow you.

Overwhelming Surge has AOE that does follow you.

Iceheart has 5m AOE for a monster set.

Aegis Caller is cool, but generates a pet, so nixed (tho I can use it on my pet build).

Fair enough.

I have a Circus Director build with Animal Companions, Daedric Summoning and Grave Lord, who is wearing Aegis Caller, Maw of the Infernal, and Defiler (trash) and Scavenging Demise (boss).

OS might be interesting, plus more shock damage is always cool.

It's also an insanely good sustain set. I used this on my Templar solo builds back in the day. You just can't run out of mag with this one.

Ideally I want to use Whorl of the Depths, I just don't have it yet/have never run the trial it comes from yet.

The perfected version adds a line of crit chance. For a meme/theme/niche/off-meta build missing that is hardly a dealbreaker. The normal version is just fine.

Join it on normal. It's pretty fun and you can farm it really quickly on normal. Especially because it can be solo tanked on normal.

copy pasted a comment i made in an older similar thread.

here is a Nocturnal themed build ^_^💜

Nocturna
base class:
- Warden.

skill lines:
- Animal Companions, Warden.
- Draconic Power, Dragonknight.
- Assassination, Nightblade.
could use Shadow instead, but Grim Focus has a spectral bow and it deals big damage.

skills
1. Grim Focus.
2. Talons.
3. Healing Burst, Burst Soul with Healing scripts.
4. Dive.
5. Swarm.
Ultimate: Dragon Leap.
i use the Nocturnal skill styles, which definitely makes the build feel good.
The skill morphs are irrelevant to the build, which is why i did not specify them.

equipment:
- Oakensoul Ring, i use it on all my damage builds, but you do not need it for the build.
- Slimecraw light hat.
- Unfathomable Darkness armor.
- Grace Of Gloom weapons, jewelry, and shoulders.
you get crows around you and you turn into a shadow

My latest pvp saved build I use and is a bit off meta since it's offensive sets is Syvara Scales, Sheer Venom, Oakensoul and 1 PC slimecraw with a Flame staff on a Templar.

I use destro skills, weakness to elements and force shock and Templar skill Radiant Oppression morph. I subclassed to have sorcerer streak and I think last skill is healing contingency with class mastery for templar and minor resolve. Ultimate is Templar aedric spear skill. Also a stage 4 vamp for the stealth sprint.

Jewelry traits are infused with physical or magical harm glyphs. Weapon is precise with weapon damage glyph. All armor pieces are divines with crit chance mundus.

It's really awesome for offense and great at range for bursting and finishing off enemies. Also works really well in groups, when you can hide in the back picking off weaker opponents first.

Edit: I forgot I use Aedric Spear ultimate instead of DK Leap take flight. Reason is more crit for slotting Aedric ability. I edited it to fix spelling and to update that.

I have an Altmer Sorc WW that has Storm Calling, Earthen Heart, and either Herald of the Tome or Curative Runeforms:

Storm Calling for-
Capacitor: Increases all stat recovery by 141
Energized: Increases Physical and Shock damage by 5%
Amplitude: 1% extra damage for every 10% HP the enemy has

Earthen Heart for-
Heart of Stone: Increases Armor by 3000 (2.9 some technically lol)
Landslide: Every four seconds when you deal damage, you get a stack of Landslide, up to 12, each stack you do 1% more damage

Curative Runeforms OR Herald of the Tome for-
Erudition: Increases all stat recovery by 18%
Harnessed Quintessence: Every time you restore Stam or Mag, your Weapon and Spell Damage increases by 284 for 10 seconds

I use Pack Leader for the infinite form sustain and for the survivability and then have the following setup for my Skills and their order:

Hircine's Rage: Pre-buff for the extra damage done,
Brutal Pounce/Carnage: Gap close to enemies and also inflicts Bleeds and Hemorrhaging in an AoE instead of to just one target,
Deafening Roar: Debuff once at the enemy(ies) while also getting nice defensive buffs
Claw Fury: My spamable
Rip and Tear: Gets used after Deafening Roar to apply Breach, and then gets used for its second utility of being an Execute for low-health enemies

Originally she was just a Pure Sorc but with U51 bringing changes to CoE, WW Skills getting increased in cost, and Static Reverb only proccing on Sorc Skills, I had to shuffle stuff around to try and not lose too much damage while also needing to keep sustain all right.

The Sets I use are Pillar of Nirn, Macabre Vintage (mostly for the burst damage that WW doesn't get without using a Set), and I was bouncing between Oakensoul, Signet, and Monomyth. But again with nerfs coming to WW in U51 I'll be switching over to Shapeshifter's Chain with a Stam Recovery Enchant on it. Depending on the fight I'll swap between Herald of the Tome if I need more damage or Curative Runeforms for longer encounters where I need more sustain. The I use 1 piece from a Monster Set for either Crit Chance or W/S Damage.

I use Bewitched Sugar Skulls as it just works better for me to have higher resource pools and in my testing I was running out of resources at roughly the same rate between Sugar Skulls and the Bear Haunch food.

I took Sorc over Nord (which seems to be the normal Race for WW) because the extra Armor and Ult Gen didn't seem all that helpful, and I get some extra Armor from Heart of Stone anyway. Altmer gave better damage thanks to the W/S Damage boost and having a bit more Magicka to squeeze out more Hircine's Rage was more useful than some additional Health (and being able to use Hircine's more is more value than maybe being able to use one more Skill with Nord's Stam boost). Plus Altmer having the reduced damage while channeling helps when using Claw Fury. It's a lot more useful than Nord's situational Frost Resist. None of the other Races really have Passives that work better, imo.

For her Warfare CP I use Biting Aura (buffs Pounce, Carnage, and Claw Fury), Master-At-Arms (also boosts Claw Fury since it's considered direct damage despite being a channel and Rip and Tear), Wrathful Strikes, and Deadly Aim (to buff Rip and Tear again). I might try replacing Deadly with Thaumaturge, though, to buff Pounce and Carnage's Bleed DoTs. Then I have all the relevant Passive ones. For Fitness I use Celerity, Fortified, Rejuvenation, and either Strategic Reserve in fights where I need more health or Bloody Renewal otherwise. And then again all the relevant Passives.

Mundus is currently Thief for Crit Damage, but I might test a few others more than I have.

Voidmantle, Sergeant Mail, Knight Slayer, Breton Sorcerer — 50k health, triple shields (Contingency, Ward, Banner). COE and Sphere of Influence.

This setup provides a lot of mitigation: 6% from Banner, 8% from Contingency, 5% from Daedric Summoning, plus the option to add Minor and Major Protection if preferred. It offers high health and strong Oblivion damage through Knight Slayer combined with an infused Oblivion damage glyph staff.

Double pets benefit from your immoral shields.

I’m considering swapping Voidmantle and Sergeant for Torug’s Pact (to further reduce Oblivion glyph cooldown) along with another mythic item, though I haven’t decided which one yet. Any suggestions?
