Yes, this setup still works very well.

Tank: War Machine, Turning Tide, and Spaulder of Ruin. Healer: Spell Power Cure, Powerful Assault, and Cryptcanon Vestments.

If you collect three gold ghosts you unlock the spectral explosion synergy for a certain amount of time. If you use the synergy it stuns everything :)

Ooh I see.. So its perfectly timed to collect the 3rd ghost just before boss spawns.. Gonna try to nuke him today hehehe thanks so much for the reply.. Amazing video

@@TobiTestsIt Thanks! It takes some practice. Sometimes you do get bad luck with the ghost spawns too--the 3rd ghost may not spawn at all or happens to spawn on top of an add (causing you to lose it). Often, I have to reset a good run due to these issues. You ideally want it to appear just as you're clearing the last wave of adds to avoid waiting. Best of luck!

Blockade of Fire (morph of Wall of Elements).

Thanks! It's ridiculous how strong the beam is. By far, the easiest class for Maelstrom Arena.

@@ADG--fj2wr Yeah it looks unreal lmao! You're welcome, great run. I'm just tryna sort my Arcanist out now, but mine is Magicka so struggling on what set to go with my Deadly Strike pieces, and whether or not Dark or High Elf is the best

Thanks! Yeah, this setup will still be very good. I don't think the build would need to be adjusted at all either. Arcanist wasn't nerfed that much--maybe a 3% dps loss. I haven't attempted vVH in a while so not sure how noticeable the changes are. I'm sure it's still possible to make all of the pushes necessary to get above 317k or even 318k. Will just be slightly more difficult. The smaller fatecarver shield might make the red arena more difficult. In general, Arcanist is probably still the easiest and strongest class for clearing Vateshran. Not sure if I'm going to do another Vateshran video this patch. If I do, it will probably on a different class just to change things up. I've played Arcanist a lot over the last six months.

Nirnhoned increases the "damage" on your weapon, damage on weapons is basically weapon/spell damage. By using nirnhoned you gain weapon and spell damage

Ok bro i know

It's not that great for vMA. The proc effect usually only hits one target (unless things are stacked very tight, which is rare in vMA). Most of the damage is a bleed effect (last 10 seconds) and most adds in vMA die before the bleed finishes. Might be decent for a few boss fights though. In general, it's better to have sets that boost your stats for vMA since you're constantly moving and trying to burst enemies down quickly. Nirn works better for trial bosses - single target fights that last longer and require less movement. That's not to say that it's bad; there are just better options imo.

@@ADG--fj2wr thx for answer! what about deadly set + ansul? instead of sul xan?

@@kaizerkaizer6550 That's a very good setup. Not as powerful as sul-xan + deadly, but not far off. Arguably the next best option. You could still get very fast clears with it.

Yes. The key is to pre-damage (wall, trap, caltrops) before the first one spawns. Make sure you reapply your buffs right before the new round starts too. Keep your distance at first, otherwise the boss will try to melee you and then immediately become immune. You can close in once he starts shooting lightning bombs out. Try to use flail as soon as he starts spawning in to build crux. Try to also position along his flanks so that you can get Minor Berserk from Camo Hunter. On Arcanist, the first boss should die with a single beam. If he has a sliver of health remaining, you can let your dots finish him off and move to the next one. For the second boss, immediately drop your ultimate, caltrops, and beam or flail. If the first two die, the final boss will not be able to turn immune. Keep in mind that it is a challenging strat to pull off at first and will take some practice. I still occasionally make small mistakes and don't burn them fast enough. Hope this helps!

Those are the champion point slottables I used from the Blue and Red champion point trees. The Blue tree is the most important since it affects your damage. The Red tree slottables are more so personal preference.

Thank you! I used Deadly daggers.

@@ADG--fj2wr juste have another question, 64 points in stamina ?

Yes, I do.@@goups

Ansuul's Torment was my second favorite set and a bit easier to use than Coral. There's a few enemies you can bash and get a nice dmg boost as well. If you don't have Ansuul, the next best thing is probably Order's Wrath.

The shield from fatecarver helps a lot. Other than that, it's just flail. You can use the healing version of Arcanist's Domain to help too.

@@ADG--fj2wr ohh you’re using the shield version , gotcha

Cruxweaver Armor

Thanks! Not 100% sure as it's been several weeks since I ran this. Pretty sure I ran Sul-Xan on the body. I imagine Deadly on the body is marginally better because that allows you to keep the 5-pc bonus on both bars. In practice, it doesn't make a huge difference though.

Thanks! And yes, it would. Race isn't super important. It would be a little harder to score push, but you could still get really fast clears.

This is from after the nerf.

Neither, I used Sul-Xan and Deadly Strike here.

For solo, Camo Hunter is better because it will provide Minor Berserk. Inner Light can be better in situations where you already have Minor Berserk provided, but it depends on how much wpn/spell dmg you have. I usually just slot Camo Hunter to have guaranteed berserk.

Thanks :) I'm using Sul-Xan's Torment + Deadly Strike

Muchas gracias !! Estaria muy top y se agradecería mucho si pones las partes del set , ligera media a pesada , o tienes algún vídeo?? Saludos

In this run, I used: Camo Hunter, Inspired Scholarship, Silver Leash, Pragmatic Fatecarver, Flail, and The Languid Eye (front bar). Razor Caltrops, Cruxweaver's Armor, Barbed Trap, Zena's Empowering Disk, Blockade, and Destro Ult (back bar). Lately I've been liking blade cloak instead of trap, and Tide King's Gaze (instead of Languid Eye) for certain bosses.

@@ADG--fj2wr God bless you man.. tks

Thanks! I honestly can't remember how I mixed the two together here. I imagine sul-xan weapons/jewelry (w/ a body piece) is best so that the 5 pc bonus from deadly strike is active on both bars. Doesn't make a huge difference either way though.

Thanks! Probably Coral or Ansuul's Torment. Coral would be best but micro-managing your stam is difficult in vMA. If you don't have those sets, then Order's Wrath would be the next best option. Nice thing about Order's Wrath is you can craft a few pieces in light to get more pen. I was a little under-pen in this setup since I had 6 medium pieces.

HAHA no Arcanist sucks ass in pvp, due to server lag and other things the main dps source your beam cant hit other players. So not able to damage at all in pvp.

I was using Coral Riptide and Deadly Strike here. More build details are listed in the description. Hope that helps :)

Thanks! I usually use the other morph but decided to test deadly cloak this run. Seemed slightly faster on bosses but I'm not sure if it's worth it on add pulls since I have to recast it more. May go back to quick cloak next time.

@@ADG--fj2wr I just mean for the Movement speed and extra duration. Your morph is probably way better

Thanks! Major breach should help a ton. I found elemental susceptibility really nice for bosses, but caltrops are arguably better for adds. Kind of a toss-up choosing between the two. Best of luck!
