I just picked up the base game from the Humble Monthly. It seems cool. If I like it after a few weeks I'll get the expansions. I'd probably like it a lot more if I were in the guild. Do I still just ask here? @Beastcurse is my account name.

I have had this game for 3 days now, and still only have one character. I think that's a personal MMO record. I'm enjoying it a lot, but it seems like some crafting skills take up a LOT of inventory slots if you don't completely ignore them. If anything gets me to get ESO Plus, it's gonna be that crafting bag. It's going to be a long time before I want more content than is in the base game. In the mean time, I think I'm going to just stop with Enchanting completely until I can afford more bag and bank space. Well, that's my ESO story so far.

Your inventory will never be free if you keep all of the crafting materials. Plus, you will level up twice as fast if you don't stop to collect every resource node you see. Maybe keep the equipment that drops to break it down to increase your skill, and research as much equipment as frequently as you can. But as far as keeping all of the components for crafting, just sell them off to save space. That drat crafting bag is the one reason I can't play the game without ESO Plus.

Magsorc is broken. To start off, this is not a fully original build, many others came to the same conclusion, but for whatever reason, it is not as wide spread how absolutely cheesy easy this build makes VMA, soloing vet dungeons, and world boss farming. With the Morrowind expansion, Zenimax absolutely crushed sustain over all (removed the reduced cost CP star, nerfed the regen CP star, and nerfed cost redux on light and medium armor). This makes magicka sustain in particular somewhat difficult compared to before. That being the case, ZOS also buffed the amount of magicka restored via heavy attacks. In particular, lightning heavies restore more magicka than either the inferno or ice stave (which do have a shorter attack animation as the lightning stave is a channel). Only the resto restores more. I find heavy attack gameplay super boring, but right now as a DPS, it is the best damage and sustain possible for magsorc (which always has had really poor native sustain). This build will give you essentially an endless magicka pool, a huge damage shield, and the best AOE damage of any class in the game. If you have not cleared Veteran Maelstrom Arena, you will with this build. It requires an absolute minimum of farming. No VMA weapons, no super rare gear. You have to have 6 trait crafting, visit scenic Rivenspire for a bit, and go kill a few things in Veteran Direfrost Keep. Race: High Elf>Breton>Dark Elf>the rest. High Elf is absolutely the best race for this particular build given their inherent boost to elemental damage and max magicka. The extra regen is nice, but not really important to the build. Breton has the same 10% max magicka, a 3 percent reduced cost on spells, and about 4k spell resist. Dark Elf is third due to the fact we do not use any fire staves or fire based abilities with this build at all. All other races are a DPS loss, but really, this will work with about anything. Mundus Stone: The Apprentice. 363 Spell Damage with 7 gold divines. Simply the best mundus available for a magicka DPS. The Lover (spell pen) is 2nd best. ZOS loving killed the Shadow and Thief mundus (Mundi?) with the HotR update. Gear: 5 Necropotence: 3 Jewelry, Epaulets (divines), Sash (Divines). The Jewels can even be blue, which are basically vendor trash levels of pricing, but i'd suggest farming dolmens and treasure chests in Rivenspire to get purple, or if you are a total sperg, gold jewelry is periodically available at the Golden vendor in Cyrodiil (250K gold or 500K AP). Enchant all three pieces with spell damage enchants (if the jewelry is purple, spring for gold enchants). The epaulets are super cheap, followed by the sash, if you just want to purchase them on the traders. Necro armor is a relatively easy farm, and an hour or so roaming between Evermore and the Crypt of Hearts dungeon picking chests should yield you at least 2 pieces. Any 2 will do, if they are small pieces, look for divines, if they are legs or chest, try and get infused. I sell quite a bit of this, so if you are in a bind, pm me and I can probably hook you up, as I basically live out of Evermore. This set is all max magicka, with the 5th piece the single largest magicka pool buff in the game (with a pet active) 5 pc Law of Julianos: Heavy Chest (Infused or Divines), Medium Legs (Infused or Divines), Light Shoes and Sash (both Divines). I prefer Infused on the two big pieces for more magicka, but Divines is fine too. 1 Infused Lightning Stave (Front Bar) with a shock enchant, 1 Nirn or Sharpened Lightning Stave (Back Bar) with a berzerker enchant. With the Horns of the Reach update, Zeni changed the values of the 2-4 set piece bonuses. Juli was pretty decent before, and it is BIS now. Spell Critical X2, Max Magicka, and 300 SD. 1 piece Iceheart: Light Hat (Infused) - This is a 1 piece spell critical bonus. For a 1 piece item, this works best for the build. Notes on Gear: Purple is fine, gold it out if you are rich, but the difference is not huge. My Julianos was already gold, but my necro is purple. The staves ABSOLUTELY MUST BE GOLD, NO EXCEPTIONS. Gold weapons are a huge boost to your damage. If nothing else, gold your weapons always. I use gold max magicka enchants on everything. Kutas are cheap, go for gold. I have a couple of Iceheart helms, but if your RNG is bad, or you already have divines shoulders, use those instead and craft a Juli hat. Same goes for the necro armor. If you loot or purchase shoes or gloves, use those instead. The epaulets are absolutely the cheapest armor, followed by the sash. If you get chest or legs, best to just sell them and craft Juli pieces instead, as they sell for a fair amount. Food: CP150 Max Magicka/health is what I use, but Witchmothers is fine too, as long as you have undaunted mettle. You want to target for around 17.5K health. Potions: CP150 trash pots are perfectly fine, but I run crit pots with max mag and crit chance. You don't need tripots due to Surge giving you the same spell damage buff. Bars:  Front Bar: Hardened Ward, Power Surge, Endless Fury, Inner Light, Volatile Familiar, Ult: Elemental Rage Back Bar: Elemental Blockade, Liquid Lightning, Daedric Prey, Inner Light (Flex spot here), Volatile Familiar, Ult: Shooting Star The rotation is dead simple: Power Surge>destro ult<barswap>LL (Liquid Lightning)>LA(light attack)>Blockade>LA>Familiar Pulse>LA>Prey <Bar Swap> Full Heavy Attack x2 <barswap> repeat sans surge (reapply this every 3rd rotation). In execute, keep your back bar dots up, and spam fury. So, that is the rotation, yes, but in practice, in VMA, you will find that it is even more simple. Pure cheese simple. Against everything but elites > blockade>familiar pulse, and heavy attack everything. Keep surge up always, ward when needed, and everything just melts away. You don't need Liquid or Prey unless it is an elite (miniboss) or end stage boss. Even then, drop your destro ult on elites, keep blockade and liquid down, keep familar pulse up and prey. Due to having a shock enchant on our infused front bar weapon, you will have nearly permanent uptime on off-balance, and our CP loadout will enable even more damage via 75 points into Thaumaturge for the exploiter passive (the exception is the Champion of Atrocity in round 6, but she is EZ regardless). I find I often do not even cast Prey as everything dies too fast. Use Fury on low health mobs and when in execute. Hardened Ward: With the necro buff, this is over a 23K damage shield. Yes, it lasts just 6 seconds, but you will never want for magicka, and can basically keep this up all the time. You don't NEED to keep it up all the time, but it is what make sorcs so OP for VMA and other solo content. This also gives your pet a shield as well.  Power Surge: Gives you major sorcery for 33 seconds, and everytime you crit any attack, you heal for about 2k health. You will crit a lot. Nuff said. Endless Fury: More OP than it appears. Often things under 20 percent just vaporize if they are not elites or bosses. Also you get roughly 3k magicka back everytime you kill something with this ability. It is also broken AF with implosion. drat. Inner Light: 2% more max magicka from the base skill, 2 percent more from Mage's Guild passives, and major prophecy for extra spell crit. Here for the great passives. NOTE: I chose this over Bound Aegis, as even though you get double the magicka back from Aegis as well as additional spell resist from sorc passives, the spell crit bonus is too strong to ignore. Volatile Familar: So this got a bit of a damage nerf a few patches ago, and yet it is still super OP. It enables us to get our huge magicka pool bonus from Necropotence, and once you activate it, the pulse does a ton of damage. Additionally, it can take aggro off of you in VMA against ANYTHING in the arena randomly, effectively acting as a pocket tank. Additionally, pets are immune to all environmental damage in the arena (round 2 blades, round three electrified water, round 5 ice water, etc). It will likely die to the Argonian Behemoth in round 7, but a minor issue only. Keep in mind that the pet will aggro on anything you heavy attack. Elemental Blockade: keep this down all the time, bread and butter skill for all magicka DPS, great damage, and enables great off-balance uptime every tick. Liquid Lightning: high damage ground based AOE lightning ability. On damage parses, this will usually be your highest damage output. That is how strong this ability is. Daedric Prey: This buffs our pet damage by 55 percent, which is crazy considering how much damage the pet already does. You can only have this up against one target, so I usually only use this against elites and bosses in the arena. You need to make sure that you let the full 6 seconds tick off to allow the stored damage to explode. This is why the skill is fairly useless against trash. Elemental Rage: Most people know that the destro ulti is super powerful. It is no exception in the arena, and is used against certain elites (wamasu, lurchers, trolls, and crem gaurds), round bosses, and end stage bosses. This goes on the front bar for the destro stave passive as we have blockade on the back bar. Shooting Star: This is just here for max magicka buff from the mages guild passive. Flex skills: So, in rounds 4 (dwemer spider boss), 7(trolls, boss), and 8 (flame knight, totems, and final boss), some mobs have 18.2k resists, so you can slot elemental drain here to get additional spell pen in place of inner light on the back bar. You will lose some max magicka and the spell critical bonus on the back bar, however. I just leave inner light here myself. I also toyed around with using crushing shock for round 9 when I was getting familiar with sorc back in the day, just to interrupt the final arena boss, you may find this worth a try, I don't use it anymore. CP and general overview:  I had a medium Juli belt in this pic, along with Divines Juli Heavy Chest, but this was due to moving my Juli around (usually have my divines on my Magblade). Passives: You will want all of your class and racial passives, all of the destro passives, mages guild passives, and undaunted mettle (undaunted 9) Optional Gear: Netch's Touch is really strong on magsorc, in particular Netch's and Julianos (So dropping Necro all together). The damage is a lot more. One can still run Necro and Netch's, but in order to test, I am still farming an additional Lightning Stave, so I need to wait until Scyantific gets time to run Darkshade with me, as he brings all the shock stave RNG to the yard. But wait...there is an even more strait cheese build than this.... What is it, you may ask? it is a 5 5 1 set build, yet again. The key here is that you can run VMA with 1 bar. Meaning you never need to swap bars. Seriously. The key is that you do need a VMA Lightning Stave, so this is for once you have gotten your farm on in VMA with the above build, and started in on some veteran trials. 5 Necro again, 5 pc Infallible Aether, 1 VMA Lightning (Nirnhoned) Ward>Blockade>Surge>Inner Light>Familiar>Destro Ult. Keep blockade and familiar up, and heavy attack your way to victory. That is how OP the VMA stave is with the crushing wall buff....

My friends and I played this for a short while at release. I quit when they quit, but I've decided to give it another shot out of the blue. This is definitely the most  I've ever felt upon returning to an old mmo. It took me a few minutes to even remember how to leave cold harbor when I first logged back in. Luckily, I rolled Daggerfall side, because Daggerfall is the best TES game, so maybe i'll actually get to play with some of you eventually?For now I just got the usual newbie rear end questions. Mainly that the OP linked to a nice guide Scyantific wrote about making a magicka oriented Nightblade, but is that thing still accurate? Says it was written in 2016 and that always makes me second guess mmo info. I'm especially hesitating to put my points back in, until I hear from you guys that yes, I am still supposed to shove 100% of them into magicka and none into health or stamina. I get that i'm being a dork about this, but I don't want to blindly ruin my guy and kill any chance I had of wanting to get back into the game. I've got an Argonian nightblade who was running swordnboard with a resto staff, because my guy was formerly the terrible healer of my idiot friend posse. I like the idea of being a kind of tanky or survivable dps, and that guide mentioned sword and shield is a viable offhand to the destruction staff instead of dual wielding. I want to keep the sword and shield, and switch the resto to destruction staff, I guess. I doubt the amount of gold I have to work with counts as much at all, though. In fact, here's what i've got to work with altogether. level 44 nightieblade lizard 55 attribute points 118 skill points a lame i'm-lore-appropriate type name most of the mages guild skill tree unlocked pretty high level alchemy skill, I remember liking the crafting in this game and will probably keep pursuing it 4 pieces of mediocre level 40 light armor 2 pieces of mediocre level 40 heavy armor decent level appropriate sword and shield a terrible green restoration staff a bag full of lemons and flowers and poo poo a cute lil baby guar minipet a horse named emergency rations 3,159 gold. Actually 8,729 gold after I sold all the ingredients that said they were no longer useable. 800 crowns My thanks and apologies. I know reading this type of stuff over and over again is one of the best parts of any mmo thread. I really did try googling and reading the op first, though. Wait this game has housing now?!

in general, youre going to want to put everything in to magicka if you're magdps/healer and everything into stamina if you're stamdps. tanks are going to depend on personal taste of how you want to make up for stats using melee weapons as magdps isn't really in fashion anymore as destro staves got buffed. most people run with lightning staves with maybe a fire staff on back bar, frost staves are now for tanking which I can't comment on if youre still leveling up your actual build isn't terribly important as youre going to want to try and level up everything as you do so, but in general level up all your armor skills by doing 5 of your main armor type, then 1 of the other. Once those are all 50 you can just go with 7 of your main type until you have undaunted passives unlocked (if needed, not all builds require 5/1/1)

Thank you, I was just sitting here and waiting for a confirmation on the attribute points all dumped into magicka thing before I seriously gave the game another try. That's interesting about the staves, too. maybe i'll try a lightning staff with a frost one for backup. This is what I've come up with so far, based off what I have, your help, and Scyantific's nice guide. http://www.eso-skillfactory.com/en/share/21273/ I don't know that I actually have 100% of those unlocked on my idiot, but I've got most of it! Probably just going to have fun setting my buttons up and running around relearning this game tonight. And downloading a few of those addons in the Op, I already want the one that kills the inventory character spin around. brainSnakes fucked around with this message at 23:55 on Oct 13, 2017 |

All "building towards it" is the same as any build, use every power, get all of them to "morph", and then use the next power. Make sure to have 1 ability from each of your three class trees on your bar at all times so all three level up. Then, as you unlock and morph the ones listed in the build, you just kinda keep them on your bar, and get into how they work, the timing of it, etc. Sorry about your RL.
