PvP Magic NB Orsinum

Replies: 45

Since I haven’t seen any recent posts figured I’d start a thread.

Sets:
Head – Light – Juliano’s – Divines – Mag Ench
Shoulders – Kena – Heavy – Infused – Mag Ench
Chest – Med – Juliano’s – Infused – Mag Ench
Hands – Light – Julianos – Divines – Mag Ench
Belt – Light – Torug – Divines – Mag Ench
Legs – Light – Julianos – Infused – Mag Ench
Feet – Light – Torug – Divines – Mag Ench

Jewelry
Neck – Willpower – Arcane – Spell Power Ench
Ring 1 – Willpower – Healthy – Spell Power Ench
Ring 2 – Willpower – Healthy – Spell Power Ench

Bar 1 – Resto Staff – Julianos – Nirnhoned – Armor Crusher Ench
Skill 1 – Healing Ward*
Skill 2 – Sap Essence (can swap with crippling grasp)
Skill 3 – Elusive Mist/Harness Magicka/Shadow Image (situation dependent)
Skill 4 – Mark/Double Take/Purge (situation dependent)
Skill 5 – Fear*
Ulti – Clouding Swarm – Considering Devoring have tried both and like them both for different things.

Bar 2 -DW Swords – Julianos/Torug – Nirnhoned – Poison/Disease Ench (not like it matters really, never use them).
Skill 1 – Dark Cloak*
Skill 2 – Concealed Weapon*
Skill 3 – Lotus Fan* (you can leave unmorphed, but it’s been buffed in patches, so use cripple to immobilize and Lotus Fan as gap closer/DoT)
Skill 4 – Crippling Crasp (can swap with funnel health or sap essence)
Skill 5 – Impale*
Ulti – Soul Harvest

*What I consider necessary skills for PvP

I do like Lotus Fan, the extra DoT has gotten me plenty of killing blows, plus crippling grasp has same effect, so 2 DoT > 1 IMO.

Key Notes: Clouding Swarm works with concealed weapon. so once you activate ulti, swap bars > concealed weapon > impale > die.

1- I run Tri-Stat regen drink in cyrodil, gets me over 1500 mag regen, plenty enough to stealth across cyrodil.

2- I am a Vamp, so key points here: Camo Hunter WILL kill you. You are squishy, you will not excel at 1vX unless you REALLY practice. Shadow Image is cool but not an easy skill to master.

For Group Play I use Elusive Mist and Purge
For Solo Play I use Shadow Image and Double Take

Sit: Too many enemy NB’s > use mark, too many Sorcs > use Harness Magika, but be flexible in these two slots, your 1st bar is about surviving so use the skills you will need most to survive.

Last note: MAG NB’s can be VERY versitile in PVP, if you want to heal then heal, great healing ulti, great mag regen. If you want a utility build with sustained DPS go RESTO/DESTRO with bar 2 as follows:

Bar 2 – Fire Staff – Nirnhoned – Julianos – Any enchant, I prefer Poison for extra DoT.
Skill 1 – Merciless Resove
Skill 2 – Funnel Health (Swallow Soul is selfish IMO)
Skill 3 – Crippling Grasp
Skill 4 – Dark Cloak
Skill 5 – Entropy (either morph)
Ulti – Comet (either morph, but I prefer Ice for bigger burst on initial hit) and as Altmer 4% extra Ice Damage

So there you go feedback is appreciated.

Note: Prox Det not unlocked yet (almost on this toon ), but will have to figure out what bar and place that will work for me, and that WILL be on bars for more burst.
