Dual dual wield magicka for 2.1 pvp

Replies: 0

Hello everyone!

I have been switching back and forth between stamina and magicka a bit on my Nightblade recently. Now, I am a rather particular person in my wishes for my character (I am one of those horrible RPers) and have given myself the annoying restriction that I do not like to use staves on my character. I noticed Dual Wield is pretty nice for magicka builds too however, as it gives nice spelldamage. I have come up with something along the lines of this build:

Build 01

Or perhaps

Build 01.1

Bar 1
1. Concealed weapon:
Superstealthspeed, good single target damage, stun combined with Dark Cloak.
2. Structured Entropy:
For the 20% damage buff from the mage guild passives, and Major Sorcery buff.
3. Crippling Grasp:
8% magicka for having a siphoning ability. Major Expedition and I think DoTs are cool.
4. Dark Cloak:
Do I even need to give reasons for this? It’s on this bar because it combines well with Concealed Weapon.
5. Lotus Fan:
Gap Closer and an Assassination ability for the passives.
U. Clouding Swarm:
Doubting between this and Devouring Swarm, but it is a nice ult and I need to slot a Vampire ability for the regen.

Bar 2
1. Funnel Health/Impale:
Ranged damage dealer plus selfheal or an execute and Assassination ability for the passives (if I do not run Piercing Mark)
2. Proximity Detonation:
By far one of the most fun abilities out there. I do not need another reason. Should be awesome to also cast Structured Entropy right before it goes off.
3. Mass Hysteria:
Probably the best CC a Nightblade can get.
4. Sap Essence:
AoE and a means to heal myself in and out of fights (it heals even if you don’t hit anything). Plus it is a Siphoning ability for the passives if I choose not to run Funnel Health on this bar.
5. Piercing Mark/Shadow Image:
Piercing Mark is just incredibly useful against other Nightblades and for the extra damage, but Shadow Image is one of those uniquely Nightblade things that is just freaking awesome.
U. Clouding Swarm:
Doubting between this and Devouring Swarm, but it is a nice ult and I need to slot a Vampire ability for the regen.

I’m probably going with the spell damage mundus stone when it is available. Don’t pay too much mind to the passives, not sure if I’ve got all of them. My current gear is:

4 pieces healer
4 pieces twilight’s embrace
4 pieces magnus

I know martial knowledge would probably be better, but like I said, I am an RPer, which means I am also annoying about what I want my character to look like (we are an annoying kind of gamer really). Therefore I mostly went with crafted gear, the healer pants I actually quite liked the look of, so that’s my 4th healer piece. If there are any changes I could make, without messing up my look too much (I can easily switch to different crafted sets) I am open for suggestions.

All in all, I would love some opinions on whether this kind of build could be viable, suggestions as to how I can improve it, that kind of stuff. ^^
