NEW Necro | The Ultimate DPS Guide 

Finally! a Necromancer guide thats not 2years old... ty Ninja Pulls! love this guide.

This is maybe the best Necro video I ever watched, lets keep Necro alive, cheers from Brazil! +1sub

I was meaning to come back to ESO. When I played last it was right after the release of High Rock, the only class I enjoyed was the Necromancer. I played only until CP 160, so early endgame, I did not get as well versed in the game. Coming back now was too daunting because a LOT changed, and most necromancer guides I've seen were outdated, some recommended skills that don't even exist anymore. I was about to give up, then I found this guide. You single handedly turned a quit moment for me into a "time to dive back in and have fun". Thank you for this, and I hope you can make another guide like this once the new expansion is out with the Scribing mechanic.

This is truly quality content, showing differences between builds, sets, races, even traits and enchants put things in perspective. Not merely giving a build or listing off skills/passives but explaining the class and how to create your own build to benefit from the class and passives. Really understanding the mechanics of a class goes a lot further than listing skills of a class. Thanks for the valuable info, I'll definitely check out more from your channel, something like this vid on every class would be insane.

Thank you for this, there aren't many up to date PvE necro guides. I just got my wife into the game and she leveled a Necro during anniversary event but I had no idea how to help her gear or what to reccomend on her bars

Absolute banger of a guide! In terms of presentation, content and clarity :) Thanks a lot for it ^^

One of the best Eso-Guides ive seen so far. Great Work!

I'm a necro main and love to check out necro content whenever I come across it, I love DDing on necro and in my guild I always beat out all the arcanists and DKs if I do go full DD instead of EC and it always feels so good. I still miss stalking blastbones though :') This is such an incredibly well written guide for DDing on necro and I will absolutely recommend this to some people

I love your content. I feel this is your best video yet. I really appreciate your presentation of the perspective and way of thinking about necromancers and how their kit interacts with sets. I would love to see this style of presentation with other classes. Thank you so much to you and Mya.

Love it. Thank you for putting this together.

Super helpfull guide! Very indepth approach from all kinds of angles instead of the regular 1 dimensional: slap on these sets and press these buttons and ure a god! Well done!

Video was informative and easy to understand. I plan to continue watching your videos in the future.

Fed video! Tak for at dele flere vinkler af en Necromancer ud over 1 meta setup 🙂

I had almost given up playing Necromancer. Everyone told me "Its not good, its bad, you need to run the meta.". But then i found this video. It has reknewed my passion for this subclass. Thank you!

This is awesome! Thank you 👍

Thanks! I've been waiting for this because I want to rebuild my necro.

Love the video bro, been waiting for it, my stamina is only 15k so i need to improve it

Your Char looks sick! Well...literaly lol Awesome Vid! I actually want to hopp on my Necro a little more again. 🤘🤘🤘

Genuis, amaizing like always. Ty man

Great information. Very user friendly. I run stamina with scythe(main spamable ) sacrifice and venom skull. It feels very comfortable. Casting venom skull when it gets that 3rd cast and I’ve had no corpse issues.

So nice to see this,i always use deadly strike and a heavy set for pvp.good work 😊

This video is awesome, well structured and so much more useful than reading various guides. I hope you do one for the warden!

Hands down best eso guide I have seen in a long time

just got back into the game the other day after a two year break so this has been so helpful. You dont happen to have a written or a graphic guide for the rotations at all do you?

mfw I was already rebuilding my Stamcro this month with Runecarver's Blaze, Sul-Xan/Dragonguard Elite/Roar of Alkosh (the latter for Arenas and support DPS) and either Velothi Ur's or Stormfist. Perfect timing that you also uploaded this video to share thoughts. Also gonna try few other DoT sets aswell, like Icy Conjurer, to try out some backbar stuff alongside Velothi Ur's mythic. Altho, I still need to farm those, as I'm almost finishing my Runecarver farming. IMO, I think Grimoire skills might raise my expectation exponentially when they come out.

absolute banger video

Thanks, I've been hoping for a new build since the changes.

I love the BB + DOTs rotation. I thought it was really cool that there was a build that didn't use a spammable. I started playing it a few years ago. It evolved over the past few years and I felt the various changes made this setup a bit better and easier to use since I first started playing it. I agree that it isn't the BB every 3 seconds that is a challenge. It is the bar swapping. At the time I started playing this build, my rotations for my various classes didn't bar swap nearly as often as when I first started playing the mag necro BB+DOTs build. Once I got better and became a lot better at bar swapping, I didn't have any issues with this build. In fact, getting better at this build made me able to perform better with other classes. I was able to use better rotations which required more bar swaps that the older rotations I used before. I think playing the necromancer ended up making me a better player overall.

Well done and informative video man! has to be 1 of the best!* pro tip on console* for bar swapping fast if you dont have an elite controller, in your xbox settings switch left on the d-pad with right stick click, not taking your thumb off the stick will improve your rotations and DPS

Best necromancer guide video.

Thanks!

Thanks for the vid, 22:45. Do i have to do any change if i go ec stam cro for blastbone+dot rotaion?( Lightning staff or electric cion?) Thanks again! 🎉🎉🎉

Great guide i will try my necro again! Btw do you make just dps guides or is there any necro tank guide ?

Gahhh I’m playing an Argonian for somewhat of an rp sake and seeing it like second to last for race pick (even though I know it’s low tier dps) I still love it. Just a dirty lizard pulling up homies from the mud dealing stanky ass poison damage. Just feels right. I wish your summons took the shape of your race that would be sick 😬🙏

thank you so much for such an informative and entertaining video, i think i have watched it like 20 times lmao.

Lovely guide once again; gives me an idea of how to rebuild my mag necro thats been left in the character selection for 8 months. Also, bit of an unrelated question but, what are your opinions on the warden recently? Specifically magicka.

Love this. Only question I have is which multi effect on jewelry would you recommend? Seems to be two options

Thats really nice, thanks :) what is this for a looking what you have?:O

nothing to say here just a great vid, good job Kaan

You are correct there that they are wrong. Awesome video thank you for the tips!!!! I am now top 1 Necro on NA and must say this class is awesome :) Have a nice day all!

Hello, I'm a bit of a new player struggling to stay alive in veteran trials, and want to try out necromancer and I would love to try the Blastbones + DOTs setup for veteran trials, is it feasible? Also, at the end of the video you show the Blastbones + Spams CMX and full rotation, is the DOT setup/rotation/gear different or I missed some information? On the website it shows the same rotation with spammable. Sorry if I missed something obvious, it's why I'm asking here

thanks for this video i was looking for help to improve my dps as ec cro, question in an ec/rele setup (where am forced to use wall) wich spammable would u use for single target boss fights? or a dot rotation is better in that case?

This is interesting and may make me revisit. I think people are so harsh on necro because- particularly with the introduction of Arc- the results to effort ratio has shifted a lot.

Do you guys have a guide for addons and setting them up? Or something you recommend? Trying to configure srendarr but its confusing. Id like to know what buffs i have going but not sure what to slot etc

Thanks for this really well made guide. I'm coming back to ESO after years, My main was a Necro. Seems to have really been nerfed since I last played. Is Runecarver a must? I dont have Scribes of Fate DLC. Is there a similiar viable set I could use for only Base + Chapters?

This video is a masterpiece.

great video, I always loved necro since it came out, the rotation feels so great and keeps you interested for years. although, why you didnt consider silver shards as spameable? And also a couple of remarks: - I still havent found anyone who has understood the change into mag bb, it feels like a nerf to an already high investment but not top results class. It would maybe work if they allow the mag bb to work really as a buff, so being able to cast out of combat and removing the delay to the skill so the duration is 20s and not 18s factoring in the animation time - The reason why it feels as a weak class is that there are few fights where you can really make use of his full kill sets as it needs long static figths, such as taleria, falgram and few others, but zos keep making fights favouring short rounds of burst, where dk and arc (which I hate) excel

I love to use blast bones, snipe, venom skull, poison shot, and mage light on my first bar

Thank you for your work, that's a lot of information and tips, i have no question 😂 Maybe just one ? Have you planned to do the same for other classes? 🙏

Great video, I loved how you explained everything in detail. One question though. Let's say I wanted to use staves instead of daggers, what would be the traits and enchantments? Flame or Lightning staff? Or is it not a good idea at all?

You gonna make me play Necro again.

For the blastbones + dot build, does the extra damage that deadly aim adds to runecarver outweigh the damage that you would get from biting aura, given that every skill on both bars (except for skeletal archer) benefits from biting aura and not from deadly aim?

Magicka Necro is amazing imo!

Nice.

Arcanist is just oakensoul 2.0 :3

Hello. In your dot setup do you overcast Rune when there is not corpse for Siphon? And if yes, is this the best option for both magicka and stamina necros? Thank you.

Hi, nice video as always ! Got a question - Is it fine to run 3 light and 4 medium pieces for solo content, i really dont do raids anymore, i wana run runecarver BUT have pale order ring as well, so my only option is to have 3 light pieces of that set combined with relequen.

Time for me to resurrect the Necro? 😏 I have been wanting a different option for DD than Arc at the moment and always felt my Necro was dead, so hoping this is the video to lift my spirits… Feel like Arc is making me lazy and if I can crank out some nice numbers on Necro for dgn challenge runs/trifecta progs I’m here for it! Thanks for always putting out great content.

that magic one if it struggles a fair bit with stam sustain and 7 out of 10 ability's are stam cost, cant i just stack points and enchant into stamina, not done so much dps lately and kinda lost touch with hybrid with how that all works

is there a rotation on this setup with skulls on stam necro ?

Hi, could you please post your character's sliders? He looks so good

Nice video! How would a double inferno staff build be? Its possible to get decent damage this way? Thanks!

Being a necro main, huge thanks for this video - I'll definitely play better now! Could you always add non trial gear? I never do trials

Heavy attack mag sorc is really good right know, you may lack in aoe but in single targets you can do 2 ticks of 24-30k plus 30-40k last hit crit with a lighting staff when fully buffed

Runecarver's Blaze has been on my mind lately. I was thinking of pairing it with Burning Spellweave. Since both sets do something with flame damage, would the use of both sets be overkill?

Hey mate I'd love to see you having a go at sword and board builds for DPS😀

how did you put armor on a skeleton?

Hello @Ninja Pulls I wanted to ask if building any class on this Mythic Kilt does them any justice? In my opinion any class with any skills can pull 100k+ DPS with this item. This reminds me of when Siroria came up and provided crazy (back then) DPS parses. It turned out that was it's only application as vet trials never allowed DDs to stand still to build the stacks similar to Kilt that requires you to avoid enemy at all cost and not be hit by adds. There's a lot of other build for other classes not using these mythics and still pulling 120k DPS. I wonder if Necro comes close to it without this mythic? Asking you as my go to Necro Master ;) Have you tested something without Kilt/Siroria?

Great video. Many people dismiss necros especially in pug groups. Sometimes you get kicked automatically if you come in on vet with necro dd but thank you for showing ppl how powerful runecarver is on necro

Great video not to complain but couldn’t help to notice I couldn’t find the champion point section

You can now prebuff sacrificial bones out of combat with update 43!

what mace skin is that

Ninja, could you please let me know what skills I would substitute in if I go for an inferno staff on the back bar?

Im sub just because of this vid necro is my fav of all

My brain has doubled in size. Lots of information. Ty. I wont ask an overwhelming number of questions on necro for a while. I need time too absorb the informantion. This patch, my necro hits lower numbers than last (101k down to 97k). Not quite sure hoe to bump it and runecarver seems to hit even less. Ik for a fact its me. Just gotta figure it out. Tyvvm for the information.

How did you allocate your attributes when stamina and magicka build mostly use the same skills? Or what is even the difference between those 2 builds when skills are mostly the same? Sry i'm a rather new player.

I'm having trouble working out my rotation at the moment, stuck between 50kdps and 60kdps, running Pillar of Nirn, Runecarver, maelstrom back bar, wading kilt and 1 piece zaan. Not sure if my build has much to do with it, any tips on getting a rotation set and being able to stick to it?

I like Sul xan and Kjalnar on my necro. It gives a unique playstyle different to my other characters and feels very thematic. Is it the best? No but its good enough and thats what matters to me.

could you combine runecarver with serpent's disdain? especially for content like Infinite Archive?

what about deadly combined with the sacrifice? that's a 30 percent damage boost. I combined with with false gods for some extra sustain.

What is that addon that shows your CDs above your bar?

Hi ninja pulls. I have some questions for you. 1) If i use double stave what trait and enchant you advice me? 2) using oakensoul ring for solo content what Blue tree should i slot? Also in this Build Is Better stalking sacrifice or blighted BB? 3) name or this stave motif with the skill? Is so Amazing

Hello can you make a video about vampire and how to incorporate it in dps builds

I have tried Sacrifice + Ricochet instead of Stamina Skull as Spammable, staffs on both bars, but have no idea how this could be sustainable without Heavy Attacks. Any ideas maybe?

I do enjoy the dot rotation but it's only realy something for trials or at least longer fights. Currently doing all the dungeon trifectas with a group and by the time you throw down the 4th or 5th dot everything would be dead already if you just put down 2 ground aoes and use aoe spammable.

I think the biggest area where most people say Necro is garbage is in pvp. Make a good (comparable to NB or Sorc) Necro and I think youll see what people are talking about more so than PVE. Id really love to see that video as well. Great video though and very informative. Subd!

I'm just gonna let this run on my phone now and then check the video for real later for an extra view (and ofcourse a comment for the algorithm!) Honestly, knowing you guys this video is top tier without having actually seen it ❤ will comment again when I've watched the whole thing!!

Currently farming rune carver

welp, looks like im making a necro

Iv always used a mag hybrid with ric skull all skills the same but rune instead of caltrops its far superior in content its kinda screw me going stab blastbones tho hate these neco changes its still good but now stam sustain is much tighter 😔 it still hits 115k plus on dummy but in content it leaves the rest behind u should try it crunch spiders for food its a very nice variation great with catalyst n warmavhine in trails 🤙

What is the multi-effect enchantment on jewelry called?

why shouldn’t you front bar a light armour set ? also is 4 medium 3 light for armour viable ?

Hi so i should run magika or stamina?

How can I make a good one bar necro with which weapon and best set but as a disease build for both mode?

C O P I U M

Is this update already in game or still in process of waiting till they release it?

Okay. I am convinced. I will dust off my Necromancer.

EC cro remains a staple for optimal group compositions, and is one of the main reasons people build Necros. I'd love to see a rotation that maximizes EC uptime and gives good individual damage. But there are very few out there. Can you add that, at least to your written guide please?

Surely Deadly would fulfil the same function as Runecarver? Any reason not mentioned? I am feeling Deadly + Azureblight... (in the absence of a trial set)...

Good god his elf is hideous…😂😭
