ESO Arcanist 316k Vateshran Hollows - Necrom

My first 316 and new personal best for Vateshran Hollows. Had quite a few runs in the 17:30 range, but kept missing adds in places and falling short. In this run, I missed an add early on in the blue zone which cost me 100 pts. Didn't have the greatest rng here unfortunately. Got the damage debuff on the ash titan boss which probably cost me around 10 seconds or so. I was also slower than usual with many of the add pulls in the blue and red zones. Can definitely push 317 with this setup but probably won't have the time until next patch.
I found lightning backbar with exploiter cp slightly faster than running an inferno staff. Not a huge difference, but the extra burst shaves off a few seconds here and there. I also tried Ansuul's Torment while I was initially getting adjusted to Arcanist but it's noticeably slower than Coral Riptide. Riptide works pretty well if you use Quick Cloak as a stamina dump and keep a potion available in case your stamina drops too low.
Dark Elf (Khajiit is marginally better)
Thief Mundus
Blue Max Stamina + Health Food
5 Deadly Strike (Charged/Nirnhoned Daggers w/ Poison + Flame)
5 Perfected Coral Riptide (Bloodthirsty Jewelry)
1 Slimecraw (Light)
Velothi Ur-Mage's Amulet
Maelstrom Arena Lightning Staff (Infused w/ Weapon Dmg Enchant)
Blue CP: Exploiter, Fighting Finesse, Biting Aura, Thaumaturge.
Red CP: Slippery, Celerity, Bloody Renewal, Boundless Vitality.

Nicely done, gg!

[@Keyti_D]

Awesome gg! I did 305k in conventional setup, now I'm motivated to try it your way with more pen setup (I ran with no major breach) and the lightning staff.

[@ADG--fj2wr]

Thanks! Major breach should help a ton. I found elemental susceptibility really nice for bosses, but caltrops are arguably better for adds. Kind of a toss-up choosing between the two. Best of luck!

Hey buddy this is door-kicker from back in the day, not sure if you remember me. I’ve been playing a bit lately and saw you were on top of some of the leaderboards ,Good shit bro! I remember when you first got flawless back in the day, anyways good to see you’re still playing and take care man.

[@x-roonax-x]

belle course mais j ai une question comment tu obtiens 31k7 de stam ? personnellement j obtiens seulement 30k7

[@ladypyramidhead7508]

+1 spirit slayer thanks to your video 🎉 merci beaucoup 😀 🙏🙏

[@jg4369]

Man the dps is gonna be even faster with the changes to lightning staff next patch

[@xjordy_bsrx]

This cant be good! Gg bro

[@SIDIOUS0690]

very nice run!! I feel when using a lighting staff, it's faster than a fire staff. May I ask? what's your back bar morph's?

[@ADG--fj2wr]

Thanks! They are: Elemental Blockade, Structured Entropy, Inspired Scholarship, Cruxweaver Armor, and Elemental Susceptibility.

[@Iloveelli1]

Which skills Had this build

[@RousskiShinobi31]

Really nice

[@allansantos2785]

Hey, is camouflaged hunter better than Inner light from mages guild?

[@ADG--fj2wr]

For solo, Camo Hunter is better because it will provide Minor Berserk. Inner Light can be better in situations where you already have Minor Berserk provided, but it depends on how much wpn/spell dmg you have. I usually just slot Camo Hunter to have guaranteed berserk.

[@alduin3876]

hello your equipment is just magnificent if you are on ps4 would it be possible for you to create the same equipment as you

[@jordangreen7198]

Arcanist still good after u41?

[@user-lb2rl9ft3t]

What’s the second skill on back bar ?

[@ADG--fj2wr]

Cruxweaver Armor

[@Prodzkill]

Good replacement for coral riptide if not have?

[@ADG--fj2wr]

Ansuul's Torment was my second favorite set and a bit easier to use than Coral. There's a few enemies you can bash and get a nice dmg boost as well. If you don't have Ansuul, the next best thing is probably Order's Wrath.

[@epixspartan9927]

Would you use that same set up this patch?

[@ADG--fj2wr]

Yes, this setup still works very well.

[@doctorbenjamin3429]

What the name of your armour set?

[@ADG--fj2wr]

I was using Coral Riptide and Deadly Strike here. More build details are listed in the description. Hope that helps :)

[@dayrebelgaming1704]

do you have a build video for it?

[@ADG--fj2wr]

I'll work on adding one soon. I did put most of the build details in the video description. Hope that helps for now :)

[@dayrebelgaming1704]

@@ADG--fj2wr appreciate it bro jus hoping for an in depth video of build

[@Vcl-kv8eb]

Very nice! You think lightning and exploiter helped with damage or are you going back to inferno

[@ADG--fj2wr]

Thanks! Lightning got me my fastest times so I'll probably stick with that. Add pulls feel slightly faster with it. Boss burns seem about the same.

[@Vcl-kv8eb]

I keep missing adds, so frustrating

[@ADG--fj2wr]

@@Vcl-kv8eb Same. Most of my resets are to missing adds. Makes score pushing vVH a pain.

[@ColbyCadwell]

Not to mention lightning procs minor vuln which ive found very useful in solo play.

[@TT_420W33DsTyLe]

Order wrath with deadly strikes, the shadow mundos, dagggers, front, flame staff back bar, Pale of the order ring, call trops instead of the Dc staff abilities, wil it still be efficient with the new update? Pragmatically fate carver haz been NERFED 😢 is it still possible to SOLO vateshran hollows that easy on vet? Amazing run GG new vid soon? 🙏

[@ADG--fj2wr]

Thanks! Yeah, this setup will still be very good. I don't think the build would need to be adjusted at all either. Arcanist wasn't nerfed that much--maybe a 3% dps loss. I haven't attempted vVH in a while so not sure how noticeable the changes are. I'm sure it's still possible to make all of the pushes necessary to get above 317k or even 318k. Will just be slightly more difficult. The smaller fatecarver shield might make the red arena more difficult. In general, Arcanist is probably still the easiest and strongest class for clearing Vateshran. Not sure if I'm going to do another Vateshran video this patch. If I do, it will probably on a different class just to change things up. I've played Arcanist a lot over the last six months.

[@ColbyCadwell]

Ggs. Why not kragh helm or at least frontbar scholarship for more pen n dmg. 6 medium with velothi n 3 dps skills n thief mundus should only get u to 5.6k pen iirc

[@ADG--fj2wr]

Thanks! I think I had around 6k pen in this setup. Probably good on bosses because Cruxweaver's provides Minor Breach and procs a decent amount. But Scholarship frontbar is probably better for add pulls and overall for the arena. Adds are probably where I could save the most time too. I'll make the swap next time I push and see if it helps. Thanks for the suggestion :)

[@ColbyCadwell]

@@ADG--fj2wr o ya. Totally forgot it does minor breach too. Still. Without crusher. 7k pen better than 6k. Was surprised u found coral alot better too. On my plar testing, i found coral had to he maintained around 46% stam to equal ansuul dps while underpenned. (66% while pen capped). No hassle in solo and no sprint weaving with cloak as much. Tho thats not rlly a big deal. Anyhoo. Uve inspired me to give this a run on my arc. Ggs again :)

[@jaxteller9102]

Would this build destroy people in pvp tho hmmm

[@williamgrant7391]

HAHA no Arcanist sucks ass in pvp, due to server lag and other things the main dps source your beam cant hit other players. So not able to damage at all in pvp.

[@hoangtran12369]

bro why this velothy reduce 99% damage on light attack and they still use Nirnhoned trait why not doube charge trait or charge and sharpened or swich to fire staff or lighning staff bro

[@jeanpaul2042]

Nirnhoned increases the "damage" on your weapon, damage on weapons is basically weapon/spell damage. By using nirnhoned you gain weapon and spell damage

[@hoangtran12369]

Ok bro i know
