as a returning player of 5 years this video was so much better then the some of the long time Top creators for eso. I feel like they rush content to just have it out there and dont test the builds in depth. being a old school theory crafter and fan of non meta stuff. earned a like and sub from me!
The increased status effect chance on your wall of elements from your destro staff passives is only active while you have the destro staff equipped. However, with a charged dagger (182% increased status effect chance), the cp node (40%), and the arcanist passive (75%), you should still have about a 3-4% chance per tick of the maelstrom wall to proc burning. The flame enchant will have like a 60% chance though which really bumps those uptimes.
I’m pretty sure that the passive applies directly to skills cast on that bar. I don’t think you lose that bonus for skills like wall for example when swapping to the front bar. Admittedly not 100% sure though! Lots of good additional info here though that I’ll include in the next update :)
I run a High Elf Deadly Strike, Perfected Ansuul's Torment, one light Slimecraw & Velothi for the mythic. I did change my blue CP because i had the set wrong. Much beter play & dps output. Great video & thank you. MagCan with dual lightning staves.
Sooo in depth! GGs as usual! … Although i would slightly disagree about azure “doing zero damage in single target fights”. Since it will still proc and do some dmg. About 6% less than meta sets like deadly or pillar on my plar testing, but still better than not having a 5pc bonus at all like plaguebreak (rip) or sulxan. I used to love azure when i first started hm trials as i think it gets alot more value in beginner groups where group cleave dps is alot lower than high end groups. (50-200% more cleave dps depending on comp and content). Azure helps to bridge that gap. But vice versa, it seems much less valuable in higher end groups since u dont need extra cleave dps other than the 2 or 3 specific boss fights u mentioned. :) just my 2 cents.
Hard to Deal with stamina issues. In content there are some mechanics, where u war to have more stamina. At least First functional build. Thx for your work
With all so respect, adjusting your build so that it’s easier to play in content is completely fine, but unnecessary. Any issue you have with Stam and mechanics can be solved with reps and progression. This build is doing fine in content :)
@@Zog-The-Swedish-Honky 2% is relative though. If it’s a 2-4% loss on a player maxing damage, that’s up to a 2-5k dps loss, and that can add up. Thats why I say decent damage loss
I'm a bit confused about the optimal gear setup. Should I run 5 pieces of Deadly Strike, 4 pieces of Whorl of The Depths, The Velothi Ur-Mage's Amulet, 2 pieces of Stormfist and a Crushing Wall staff? I would prefer to not abandon the amulet as it seems fun and I suffered a lot with getting the lead from the Scrivener's Hall.
Great video. Thanks for the hard work you put into such a comprehensive guide, I am usually left saying "...yeah, but why x instead of y?" not this time though. The one *slight* criticism I have is: at 19:36 the setup you show has max stamina enchants which I assume is just an oversight. Thanks again!😁
Great Job on such a new class. The only thing you failed to mention is that you will need X amount of skill points before you can even do this setup. As a new class, it's unlikely most of them running around have the required points to set up all the passives and other skills. Having a known amount of skill points to aim for before gearing and skilling up for this build would be really nice. I have to wonder how you had 119 skill points spare after your build was set up though. Did you buy the unlocks from the store or spend a few weeks doing sky shards?
earned a sub and like for me great video, granted i usually play stam arcanists / tank but im debating making some pve magicka builds too, already have a magicka pvp build
This was a very clean and well executed script. Great pacing and clarity (Im jealous of the clarity lol. I stumble over words so hard so often) Great video.
Even as a fellow dark elf. Once I put the enchants/gear/attributes you show I have less stamina than you show in the clips where you are fighting with this build. How are you getting enough stamina to be able to keep up those two cast of Cephaliarch Flair?
Are you running green max Stam food? Sustaining the arc shouldn’t be too terribly difficult, I’d have to imagine it’s rotation oriented. Feel free to join the discord and dm me!
A question about armor, is there a reason to go 6/1 vs 5/1/1 for the undaunted passive? Is the 6/1 medium/light just better than the stat boost with a heavy piece?
Yeah the overall stat bonuses light and medium armor give since they changed those a year and a half ish ago have made the 5-1-1 unpreferable for dps over 6-1 or 7 medium. We’re only running 1 light cause the set choices require that
Great video man. ButI didnt really understand why Bahsei isnt a good option. Could explain it please? What if I have few light armor pieces, why is that bad?
It’s more preferable to stack medium armor for damage. The passives are a bit stronger. Any more than one light piece begins a marginal loss in dps output.
Question, what gear were you wearing for each rotation? I am gonna run deadly/whorl but I also have pillar and I am not sure if the rotation changes if I swap those at all.
It def makes a big difference. Medium armor does a bit more damage then light and you wouldn’t have deadly active both bars. I’m sure you can make it work for now but I’d keep working towards those daggers!
@@eigh1puppies Alright, I'll farm the normal daggers for now - perfected and non-perfected armor can be worn at the same time right? It won't have the perfected bonus IIRC but this way I can transmute the perfected golden rings instead of spending a fortune turning non-perfected ones gold haha (Of course losing crit means less damage but I'm guessing it's not as much a dps loss as not having deadly strike active at all times)
Also realized despite the description saying “magicka arcanist” all I’m seeing is stamina gear in your video. Not sure we’re on the same page, but maybe I’m just missing something.
Yeah so “Magicka” vs “Stamina” is kind of arbitrary in the world of min maxing, it doesn’t really matter outside of sustain. You’ll always go all into one or all into the other based on skills, but medium armor is always better (outside of some solo/four man content). Depths pillar is a solid setup, but deadly depths is just better! Feel free to ask any clarifying questions in the mag vs Stam thing :)
I seen you had whorl on the legs, I havent played in years but isnt running the medium on a large piece and having the 1 light on a small like the belt be better? or where there armor changes that negate that?
oh okay! last question would deadly and orders wrath be okay to run until i get mythic and whorl? and once i get that could would using rune of the colorless pool for minor vulnerability and minor brittle be better then trap beast? since velothi gives minor force?@@eigh1puppies
Hey man, I made an account to make this comment cuz im struggling. Great video i really appreciate the depth you go in your information. My one issue with this is stam sustain. Im currently running Orders wrath/deadly/slimecraw, and i definitely run out and need stam potions. How do you have all that regen?
@@eigh1puppies Ohh that could be my issue huh? cuz you go 64 into magicka, correct? Maybe I was missing the medicinal use, and tripot/Heroism pots for regen, right?
What does meter is that, the one where you see everyone's does in combat. If it's Comcast metrics how do you get it to display? I don't see anything through the combat metrics ui
Hi newbie here great video but for me i would like to see items not just the few you promote but beginner items to use i still cant tell what weapons you are using I cant see were to my warfare skill point or any skillpoints just think of new players please
I gave some beginner options! Order's Wrath is a craftable that I suggested running until you can get trial gear, and deadly is pretty easy to obtain from guild traders or cyrdoill boxes :)
Light Attacks don’t really matter on the arc, and daggers just give the best bonuses by far. If you’d like to run a staff just to run one, Lightning front bar is very strong
In 4 man content where pen not reached, is medium still better to use on body on mag arc, or would light be better? Whorl/deadly combo. Thinking bout pen issue in 4man content
If you switch your medium slime to a light valkyn or archdruid you will be at 9800 pen on this build. Plenty for 4 man assuming you have major and minor breach
I just enjoy squeezing every bit of damage possible. 15 seconds of dawnbreaker at the beginning of a parse is less than 2k dps difference at the absolute most, don’t sweat it.
You can check the cmx in the comments and it’ll show you exactly what’s being run! The info tab is shown after the parse as well! It’ll tell you things like gear weight, traits, enchants, and exactly which gear piece is run in which slot!
So you’re running perfected whorl, deadly strike and then the mythic ring? I’m just getting back into the game so wanna make sure I have the stuff right
How come spec all points into mag on a medium build? Seems like much better to put all points into Stam on this build? Can you help me understand? Thank you!
Armor used to correlate to resources, so Medium used to be good for Stam and Light used to be good for mag. Since the hybridization updates, non of this matters anymore, and stacking medium armor gives a slightly stronger dps increase than stacking medium armor, assuming all raid penetration debuffs are present and adequate!
English is a very confusing language@@eigh1puppies - no doubt about it. It's my strength, figuring out ESO builds is yours, I'm glad we could help each other!
If we never run out of magical and 3/5 spells in rotation use Stam why are you using magicka enchants. I seem to be running out of stam around 3rd 4th rotation. What’s the benefit of the magicka boost over stam?
This is just the “mag” spec. The only thing that dictates that is where you spec your attributes. Damage scales off a few stats, your max resources being one of them, so it’s worthwhile to stack everything into one resource. Are you running Tri/Heroism pots? You shouldn’t have Stam issues unless there are some mistakes in the roto or if you happen to forget that important detail!
This I pretty much my main set up but I'm struggling on the dps side I'm only able to hit 60k and my fatecarver is only hit 29k highest tick on a trial dummy but I am only 550 cp ?
Yes and I was able to get it up to 70k 4 min 51 sec I didn't realize I was using the wrong morph of 2 skills and I changed jewelery to bloodthirsty that helped alot I was thinking of using spectral cloak for more dps or malstrum staff back bar wyt
Whorl has a high mastery curve in some content for sure. It’s strong in content, but you have to think about and control the procs in some scenarios to get max utilization.
@@eigh1puppies not hero pots, but i could try to use a tri pot for parsing. With stamina build all i need is the lava foot soup and not have issues. I was trying to dabble with the magic build since my arc is an altmer for a little more dps but, if all else fails if i cant get it to work i'll just have to stick with stam. Maybe it's because i dont have whorl daggers/jewelry?
@@eigh1puppies my second question would be, what would you use on the parse dummy if you dont have whorl set for you weps, jewelry etc. I do have deadly just dont know what to pair it with in the mean time. maybe pillar?
@@BlackBlazeGamingprebuff yes, but dropping Flawless and having ultimate back immediately doesn't happen in content when starting a boss fight. Most guilds I've seen don't accept DB prebuff for that reason. That's the part about dummy parsing I will never understand because it can't happen realistically. But I guess in content you still get more buffs in a super optimized group like the ones Puppies runs so I guess it evens out. I just hope we never get DPS in content tracker for console 😅🫣🤣
