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!

This was a really helpful video, thank you 😊

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 :)

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.

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?

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!

Yeah so “Magicka” vs “Stamina” is kind of arbitrary in the world of min maxing, it doesn’t really matter outside of sustain.
