Cool build! i do something kind of similar, im curious why you chose ice staff for your backbar over sword and board? wouldnt you want the extra cost reduction to help sustain?
I have a question about this build. Maybe I missed it. Why do you run deadly strikes if you aren’t using the beam? What does it buff? Is it just for ultimate? It doesn’t buff the runeblades or anything does it? Malacath is an interesting choice and gives me a reason to bring it out again! I want to use this build I’m just trying to understand why is all 😊
Dear HoarCrux, I desperately need your help & guidance! I’ve tried to follow your build for the arcanist, but these damn dk’s are kicking my butt. I am willing to learn, if you ever have the time. Thanks, a new fan of yours. Barbara
i basically created a magicka (destro/sword and shield) version of this build that uses dots and then channeled burst spells. I wanted to do a stam version - you beat me to it. gg
Wow great build. I just came back to ESO after leaving for 3 years. I love the arcanist so far, but have only gotten pve gear etc in the last month. I am just now dabbling in PVP and have a great 1v1 setup. I am building out this build, and I am wondering if you wouldn't mind doing a cliff notes version of your basic rotation on this build. If not, thanks for all you have helped with already!!!
fun fact: i tried nearly the same same build same day arcanist came out... but i got sword and shield ulti "spell wall" backbar in combination with vampire skill "drain vigor"... u just load up ur stam and hp when on ulti and u dont mind about incoming dmg... that is working quite good in battlegrounds, too... i took potentates set backbar, though... crux´s build seems more fine adjusted, though... cause with wretched that will kick ass much longer... or should we try put dark conv on instead? u can go vatesh sword and shield and kinda nasty way pull the zerg by "reverberating bash" ... haha... 2sec b4 ur abyssal shield ulti reflects u just pull and cast dark conv... haha that would be the arcan supreme bombing...
Going to try your build, but one question though... why the ice staff over say a lightning staff? Is there a reason that depends on the Ice Staff that I missed. I prefer a lightning staff because it does damage to other enemies as well. Just curious and maybe you can explain that or just tell you have a preference to Ice Staff. Thanks!
@@chaotic_tier-0029 thanks for the reply! I just realized that I wasn't that specific in the latter half of my comment, I was referring to arcanist in general in 1v1 scenarios.
@Hoarcrux oh I see. 👀 I didn't know that. I think I'll try to put arcanist domain on front bar instead 🤔 of that healing ult. That should proc the passive too.
I don't know what is wrong I have the same setup but you have about 3,000 more health than I do. Everything is pretty much identical. I even have and infused health glyph on one of the armor pieces. When I say about the same you have tri-stat glyphs and I just use straight-up health
I actaully was using a build very similar to this but I had sea serpents instead of malacath. I like yours better though cause now I can take off camo hunter and not worry about crit
@@Homesteadhumor People keep saying it's not very good, relying on proc sets, people saying good players will always dodge the beam, etc. I don't get it. It seems amazing. Some of the stuff it can do is just absolutely wild.
@@AllThingsFascinate I do think it’s good but I still think dk and night blade are better … the beam is op you need to stun them then beam them… the stun gives minor brittle which is great … I think as a healer this is god tier but I wouldn’t want to duel anyone with this for money 💰I don’t love it
Now my only thing is pains refuge cp, potentially reducing your incoming dmg by 20% but if your play is to absorb as much dmg as possible thrn unleash it it might be better with another cp??
Its interesting how inconsistent the info is about gibbering ult. Some creators say it is not affected by pen or any buffs, yet i know abyssal ink for sure buffs it. Some say you can use shield abilities while the ult it up and it doesnt hurt the damage. I'd be interested in seeing more community testing to really get it minmaxed
Just came back to eso after a 2 year hiatus the build looks insane I wanna run it but don't have the mythic is there any other option that I could replace it with?
You didn't break squat because they just nerfed Arcanist. You now lose your crux after 30 seconds, even in combat. And you lose all crux icons and crux buffs after you have been out of combat for 30 seconds. No more pre-buffing that beam. And it has the bonus side effect that I no longer have to see 37 million green triangles in every damn town and wayshrine....
It’s ah shit Ton of ppl throwing green Doritos at me calling themselves arcanist I bought necrom for the redguard companion that was it I didn’t care for the class I like my stamplar I am going to make a character that uses it though so I can see what the fuss is all about might even turn my stamplar into in arcanist just to see what skill merge with it and which ones don’t cuz the vampire back bar just lacks to me I would have loved to pair my stamplar with arcanist abilities but that ain’t gonna happen lol imagine being able to pick two classes we gone break the game
Hard to take u serious as a strong player If i see misstakes like this 😅 Lord: 2200 HP Rings: 860 Stam, 170 wp, ~550 Recovery = Relevant ressource ~3k, 170 wp, 550 Recovery Snake: 303 Recovery Rings: tristate 1400 Stam, mag & hp, 170 wp, 350 Recovery = Relevant ressource 2,8k, 170 wp, 650 Recovery (+1400 Mana as Bonus)
As stated previously this build just isn't good there is way better in slot options and if you beam your doing it wrong brawler builds are far superior beams are easily countered.
What's fun about a 1 button build? Basically it's overpowered d-staff heavy attacks. I don't get how pushing the same button over & over is fun but to each their own.
Have a big shield and take the most damage you can. If you use, Lefhanders mythic belt, you get a free shield when you roll dodge to further push the damage higher on Abysal Shield
I don't see it getting nerf if tht gets nerf ppl or really stupid number one stop attacking is counter play to tht.. So if thy nerf it im going to laugh so much ill get a headache
I know your talking about Deltia ? Man was making ESO videos when you were in pampers boi lol😂 respect your elders . Oh and your baby reference really shows your mind set btw . Sad really 💔. Hope you grow up .
Lol yeah must have. Also, I’m sure those content creators don’t appreciate being subtly called out like that. It might mimic that time you got called out by Zilla a while back which did not go well. I like your content but it seems like you asking for this stuff.
My worst nightmare is a full team of arcanist on battleground they just stun and hit with fate carver or ult and no matter your build two fate carvers or two ults and you’re dead
lol i pvp bg often, the arcanist is sooo unfair unless of course YOU are an arcanist. it really is hilarious to watch your team of 4 get melted by one arcanist. i think its great fun but so very OP it ranks 1st then necros and then DK from just counting kills - 33 kils? 35 kills? lots of fun but no talent needed. just use the beam - i hate the color though. nuclear green.
Op sleeper??? Using deadly for beam and wv for sustain, that literally the meta templar slapped on an arcanist Sry but when i see "sleeper" im waiting for unique set up with forgotten sets..... And its not broken, its just good or meta, oaken dk were broken, not only because they one shot ppl but cause you cant kill them too, arcanist dont have that. And why calling other build "proctard"??? Wv is a proc too, bs is a proc too sooooo.....
@@Hoarcrux nothing against the build mate, but slapping the best sustain set with the best dmg set for beam and ult is what is called meta, and clearly want us to use fatecarver....so sleeper build should not be about doing what they want us to
